I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. "Do you have kids?" he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

If you have a chance to go to school in America, you should keep the following in mind:

*If a teacher asks you a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. It is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know the answer. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.

*There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent(不在场的),you should call your teacher or your classmates and ask for the assignment. It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed.

*It is impolite to eat, drink or chew gum during class. This is allowed for the break. Removing one’ s shoes in the classroom is also not polite.

*You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, you must call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up(补考)test, you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class.

*It is rude to be late. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly by having your books and papers out of your bag, then go to your seat and sit very quietly. In the U. S., it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

    They are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.

But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have revealed that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.

    Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. ‘Larks' or ‘morning people’, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance. They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.

    Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W. Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: "Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, like the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants." A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking laterally (横向) to solve problems than larks.

28. The following features belong to night owls except that _______.

 A. Night owls are much healthier, wealthier and wiser

 B. Night owls have a strong ability to reason logically

 C. Night owls stay up late and sleep later in the morning

 D. Night owls are expert in analyzing and innovative thinking

29. What's the author's attitude towards night owls?

 A. Skeptical.    B. Negative.        C. Subjective.      D. Objective.

30. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

 A. The early bird will catch the worm.

 B. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs.

 C. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.

 D. President Obama and George W. Bush are models of night owls.

From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation (丢脸). When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.

One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”

The children sat stunned (惊呆的) and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.”

During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”

This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is — an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.

25. According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from ________.

   A. reading little and thinking little           B. reading often and adventurously

   C. being made to read too much             D. being made to read aloud before others

26. Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that ________.

   A. it sounded stupid                      B. it was not surprising at all

   C. it sounded too good to be true            D. it was no different from other teachers’ talk

27. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.

   B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.

   C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.

   D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.

28. From the teacher’s point of view, _________ .

   A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading

   B. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read

   C. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school

   D. reading involves understanding every little piece of information

 Many of the creatures in Rowling’s world are not real, and much of ______ happens is strange.

A. which                        B. that                          C. what                        D. it

I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I  51  try to be a loving husband and father. Totally  52 . No ifs, ands or buts.

In unimportant ways, really; scolding Evelyn for her tardiness(拖拉);  59  on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing  60  day-old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read.

And it  62 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks  63  on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and  64 , maybe a little puzzled.

After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn  65  a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the children  66  week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street investment firm  67  I am director; a visit to the shell museum,  68  I usually hate museums, and I enjoyed it;  69  my tongue while Evelyn’s getting ready for a late dinner for us. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on  70  to choose love.

How to Succeed in Science

To succeed in science, you need a lot more than luck. In my view, you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward. Thus, these have come to be my rules for success.

1.　36　

That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win, it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’ s to win at something really difficult. 　37　

2. Take risks

To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. 　38　  This can be more than personally upsetting.

3. Never do anything that bores you.

My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leave you alone. I’ m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. 　39　

It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists — you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them objectionable.

So my final rule is: 　40　

A. Meet challenges with great courage.

B. If you can’t stand to be with your real peers, get out of science.

C. Put another way, it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.

D. Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.

E. Avoid foolish people.

F. In fact, I find it hard to do well in something I like.

G. Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.
