A
“It takes an entire
village to raise a child.” That’s an old
proverb(谚
语) that is being quoted more and more
often these days. And I’m pleased about
that.
Today, more and more schools are reaching out
to involve parents, community
members and
businesses to help shape a child’s future.
Parents need to be involved in their
children’s education in many ways.
Helping
children with homework and studying, going on a
field trip, teaching
a craft or coaching a
child’s sports team are all great ways to be
involved
with your child’s education. And
don’t forget to communicate with
teachers---
they need and respect your input. Studies show
that children learn
more and schools function
better when parents and schools work together.
It’s
important to stay in touch with your
child’s education all through his or
her
school career.
Communities can help children
create and achieve new goals. Help with homework,
read to a child, coach a children’s team, or
provide emotional support. Help
solve problems
and build self-esteem. Kids need role models and
advisers can
be role models by sharing their
experiences and wisdom.
Businesses can also
help shape our children’s future. Invite a class
from
your local school to visit your
workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that
opens a new world of possibilities. Show
students what goes on during a typical
day.
Give a mini course for students: how to use a
computer; how products are
made; how machinery
works. You may have a developing electrician,
teacher,
nurse, or even a newspaper reporter
on your hands.
It really does take an entire
village to raise a child. So share the
responsibility---and the joy---of
bringing a child to his or her full
potential.
21. The implied advice in the proverb “It
takes an entire village to raise
a child.” is
that ______.
A. All the people in a village
should give food to a child.
s, parents, and
other organizations should share the
responsibility
of shaping a child’s future.
C. Children’s should be brought up in the

should be set up in the village where a child was
raised.

_______________.
A. parents and members in
organizations

C.
newspaper reporters and developing electricians
D. education experts and government officials
23. Students can get developed in practical
working skill through ______.
A. parental
involvement B. community activities
C. business training D. school

the passage?

in children’s education.

other
organizations.

training courses for students.
参考答案21-24 BACB
B
Many people find
themselves caught up in others’ problems, and then
confused
about how and when to help. In fact,
all relationships need limits no matter
whether they are friendships, sibling
relations, mates lovers or business
relations.
On some level, all limit setting means saying no.
However, it is
usually a qualified “no” that
says what, where, when, and under what
conditions you will give or not give to
another person. There are three points
we
should keep in mind about limit setting:
where to set the limits. Think about the entire
situation. Consider
your time, emotions, and
means. Then consider whether you are helping the
other
person. Aim to do something to help the
other person without taking on the
whole
problem.
s the limits clearly. For example,
you say to your friend, “ I will
lend you
$$20,000 no more than once every three months. And
I expect you will
pay me back within three
months and certainly before you can borrow more.”
You say to another friend, “you can stay here
for three weeks but you must
help me with
expenses and cooking and make sure that you will
find your own
place before the three weeks is
up”.
to your limits. You are not responsible
for making the other person
obey the limits.
You are only responsible for following the limits
yourself.
Your friend has repaid $$12,500 of
hisher $$20,000 and asks for $$20,000 more.
You
say no. HeShe gets emotional and then says, “I
need this money to cover
a bad check. If you
cared for our friendship, you would do it”.
Limit setting is often stressful and painful
because people mistakes it for
rejection. And
limit setting certainly brings guilt. Bear in
mind, it doesn’t
mean you have given up or
quit loving your friend, lovers, or sibling. It
does
mean you are expressing that love in a
different and more helpful (to both
of
you) manner.
25. According to the passage,
setting limits means___________________.
A.
refusing always to say yes to your friend
B.
saying no to your friend who turns to you
C.
making different kinds of friends D.
breaking away from your friend
you decide to
set limits, you should________________________.
A. announce it publicly to others B. tell
your friend about it clearly
C. be responsible
for your friend D. begin to help your friend
can learn from the last paragraph that limit
setting______________.
A. is often
misunderstood B. is actually a kind of
rejection
C. does harm to your friendship
D .contains both love and hate
28. What would
be the best title for the passage?
A. About
friendship B. How to make friends
C. Set limits with friends D.
Show your love in a new way
参考答案25-28 ABAC
C
One girl named Becky rode a
big brown horse in the race events. She always
won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she
didn’t feel threatened when I
competed against
her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came
in next
to last.
The stinging
memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to
beat her. For
the whole next month I woke up
early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to
the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and
jumping for hours in the hot sun
and then I
would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of
our hard work
didn’t make me feel confident by
the time the show came. I sat at the gate
and
sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse
charge through the course
and finish in first
place.
My turn finally came. I put on my hat,
rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the
arena. At
the signal, we dashed toward the first fence,
jumped it without
trouble and raced on to the
next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third
and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him
toward the finish line. As we
crossed the line
the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I
had beaten
Becky and her fancy horse by two
seconds!
I gained much more than a blue ribbon
that day. At thirteen, I realized that
no
matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner
if I wanted something
badly enough to work for
it.
29. The underlined expression
means
______.
A. told how to enter the arena
B. shown how to make the horse
beautiful
C. removed from the competition early D.
told to enter the timed-speed
events
30.
When the final race finished, nobody cheered
because .
A. the audience didn’t like
Cowboy B. people envied the writer
C. the win
was unexpected D. the writer bad run out
of time
31. Why was the writer not confident
of victory?
A. He was an inexperienced rider.
B. He had not practiced enough.
C. He believed
he was unpopular with the crowd.
D. He
thought his horse wasn’t as good as the others.
32. What did the writer learn from his
experience?
A. Life can sometimes be unfair.
B. Anything is possible if one tries hard
enough.
C. A positive attitude will bring
success.
D. One should not make judgments
based on appearance.
参考答案29-32 CCDB
D
Last week, while visiting my dad with my
daughter, we went to a restaurant
for dinner.
When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if
there were any
soldiers eating at the
restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier
having dinner with his friend. My dad told the
waitress to tell the soldier
and his friend
that their dinner was paid for! He also said that
he did not
want to be known as the
benefactor(施主).
Then waitress later commented
on my dad’s thoughtful behavior saying that
she had never seen anything like this before.
At a local college, she had
studied opera and
so she used this to thank my dad by performing a
piece from
The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice
brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!
After a while, the soldier appeared at our
table (I don’t know how he knew
my dad paid
the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent
to the front
the next morning and that he
could not leave this country without saying
“thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was
he who wanted to say “thanks”.
They shook
hands as the soldier left.
Before we left, the
waitress came by again. She did a magic show as
another
way to show her “thanks” to my dad.
Her show was really great. My dad left
her a note with email address asking
for her next performance time in addition
to a
$$ 50 tip.
Everyone witnessed something
exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that
night. I can only hope to see more of this in
the future.
