     I was not good in math in the first year of junior high school. Having failed so many times in math exams, I was anxious about the subject. Every time I tried my best work out a math problem and I was afraid of making mistakes, which really made me feel helpless. Unluckily, I met a nice math teacher in a second year. She told me that I did need to worry about making mistakes because I could find out my shortcomings through my mistakes. She always encouraged myself to try again whenever I make a mistake. Thanks to my teacher encouragement, I became interested in math and made rapid progress. My experience proves that failure was the mother of success and that we can learn a lot from our mistakes.

When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.

    Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).

    I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.

    Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.

    He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose (昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.

    Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.

A handsome man can earn a fifth more than an average-looking colleague but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague, new research has shown.

The study by senior economists（经济学家）found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues. Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.

Andrew Leigh, a former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: “Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.”

“Some people still believe good looks and intelligence are incompatible(矛盾的)in women, so a good-looking women can’t be that productive, but it doesn’t affect-men’s pay.”

He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.

The research found that handsome men in all jobs, from manual labour（手工劳动）to highly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing the same work.

Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a man’s earnings by 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker.

Former male model, lan Mitchell,28, who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics company, told the Sunday Times:’ It gives you confidence, and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly.”

The study, named Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium（美貌价)had changed.

Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist(以貌取人的)”and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice.

32.What has the research found?

A. Male workers pay more attention to their appearance

B. Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs

C. Appearance plays an important role at work.

D. The more beautiful a female is ,the lower their intelligence is

33.What is Andrew Leigh’s opinion?

A. Beauty is a double-edged sword for workers

B. Gook-looking females are likely to earn more

C. Employers have prejudice in employing workers

D. More attention is paid to appearance now than before

GIANYAR，Bali—The resort island of Bali is known for a lot of things—beaches, artists, flowing rice paddies—but not guitars. Slowly but surely, Wayan Tuges is changing that.

A wood sculptor who works from a small workshop in one of the artisan-filled villages of central Bali, Mr. Tuges has produced hundreds of custom-made guitars over the past several years which have become collector’s items across the world. Their success—some sell for as much as $8,800—has also shown how the entrepreneurs(企业家）even in remote comers of the world can connect to the global economy online—especially with a little luck.

Mr. Tuges’s achievement is to have added that stringed instruments (弦乐器)to part of the rich, traditional Balinese musical scene. Mr. Tuges didn’t even know how to play the guitar, much, less make one.

But that began to change a few years ago, when Mr. Tuges was visited out of the blue by a Montreal businessman and musician named Danny Fonfeder, who was looking for a craftsman that he hoped could make ornate guitars in Bali during a business trip in Asia. He brought a cheap guitar for Mr. Tuges to copy.

“I managed to make something that looked like a guitar, but it didn't make any sound,” said the 60-year old Mr. Tuges, who learned the art of sculpturing from his father at a young age.

Spellbound by the carvings on the guitar, Mr. Fonfeder quickly saw an opportunity to sell the guitars overseas. To fine-tune Mr. Tuges's work, he brought an American luthier—someone who makes stringed instruments — named George Morris to Bali to teach his soon-to-be business partner in the fine art of making a great guitar.

“I’m forever in debt to Danny and George.”Mr. Tuges said in a recent interview at his workshop.

It didn't take long for the men to get their alliance off the ground: Mr. Tuges not only mastered the craftsmanship but also started to teach his relatives, including his son, to make guitars with their hands—a method they still employ today, even though computerized precision tools are available. The only digital instruments they use are tuners.

27. Who's Wayan Tuges?

A. An investor in Bali.

B. An entrepreneur from Canada.

C. A wood carver in Bali.      

D. A salesman of guitars.

28. The underlined phrase "out of the blue" means

B. in the open air 

C. scheduled

D. in the field

29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Wayan Tuges was ready to meet Danny Fonfeder at the very beginning

B. Wayan Tuges succeeded in making his first guitar.

C. At age 60, Wayan Tuges started learning sculpturing from his father.

D. George Morris came to Bali to guide Wayan Tuges.

30. What's the best title of the passage?

A. A Brief Introduction to Bali, a Resort Island.

B. Master Carver Adds Guitars to Bali’s Rich Culture.

C. What Wayan Tuges Has Achieved at 60.

D. Wayan Tuges Taught His Relatives to Make Guitars.

A member of our class told us of a request made by his wife. She and a group of other women in her church were involved in a self-improvement program. She asked her husband to help hr by listing six things he believed she could do to help her become a better wife. He reported to the class, “I was surprised by such a request. Frankly, it would have been easy for me to list six things I would like to change about her---my heavens, she could have listed a thousand things she would like to change about me---but I didn’t. I said to her, ‘Let me think about it and give you an answer in the morning.’”

“The next morning I got up very early and called the florist(花商)and had him send six red roses to my wife with a note saying, ‘ I can’t think of six things I would like to change about you. I love you the way you are.’”

“When I arrived at home that evening, who do you think greeted me at the door? That’s right. My wife! She was almost in tears. Needless to say, I was extremely glad I had not criticized her as she had requested.”

“The following Sunday at church, after she had reported the result of her request, several women with whom she had been studying came up to me and said, ‘That is the most considerate thing I have ever heard.’ I was then that I realized the power of appreciation.”

Lincoln once began a letter saying, “Everybody likes a compliment.” William James said, “The deepest principle in human nature is the desire to be appreciated.” So let’s give honest, sincere appreciation to others instead of criticizing them.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us .People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loves everyone. 新|课 | 标|第  |一| 网
