Before I started school, people felt that 1 was not going to be successful.At the age of four I started speech lessons because basically I could not speak well enough for anyone to understand me.The story goes downhill from here.
The first grade was a struggle.I not only had difficulty speaking, but also felt nervous about the fact that I was expected to learn to read and I just couldn"t do it.The second grade was not much better.I still struggled with the inability to read.It was in the third grade that the school district built a new school close to my home.I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could move to the new one.However, things were still not much better as far as my schooling was concerned and did not get better for the next two years.
It was in the fifth grade.Mi-s.Wakefield was my teacher, and if ever there was a teacher that deserved a gold star, it was her.She did not make me feel defeated.On the contrary, she did her best to let me know that I could be whatever I wanted to be.And that is just what I did.
For the past 22 years, I have been a fifth grade teacher.Because of Mrs.Wakefield"s influence on my life, I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can overcome any difficulty and become someone.I have won numerous awards up to now, such as Teacher of the Year.I owe it all to one fifth grade teacher who believed in me and challenged me to be all that I could be.
56.The writer ______ when he was in the third grade.
A.did better in reading                      B.began speech lessons
C.went to a new school                D.received a high award
57.We can learn from the passage that the writer ______.
A.is a very successful teacher now
B.thinks teaching is a challenging job
C, has solved problems with his own effort
D.works in the same school with Mrs.Wakefield
58.What is the writer"s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To express his devotion to his work.
B.To show his respect to a special teacher.
C.To share his leaching experience with us.
D.To tell us his story of overcoming difficulties.

举一反三

Some years ago, a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing together.Several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the building.The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them.However, her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear.Several days later, psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman.His interview produced a breakthrough—the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects.The important information enabled the police lo arrest the suspect and close the case.
The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive interview, a kind of memory - rebuilding process.Memory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information.Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress.But a person"s accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques.The "cognitive interview" was developed in the late 1990s.It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else"s questions.The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptions.The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives (角度).
The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events; reporting everything that conies to mind about those events, no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders, such as from beginning to end, end to beginning, forward or backward; and adopting different perspectives while recalling events.
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the same.It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony (证词).
67.The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A.give an account of a murder case
B.introduce an idea of cognitive interview
C.prove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interview
D.help a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview
68.What is required to recall in a cognitive interview for a witness?
A.The exact time at which a murder took place.
B.The information about the event in the time order.
C.The important things that come to his or her mind.
D.The surroundings and feelings at the time of the event.
69.The key point in a cognitive interview is that______
A.the witness is encouraged to take part in recalling information
B.the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time
C.the interview should take place outside the police station
D.the witness should recall details at the scene of the event
70.The underlined word "distorted" in the passage probably means " ____
A.arranged    B.balanced           C., changed      D.examined

Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
"Shoppers need to check the labels(标签)before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent," said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove."Food production is highly competitive.___71 __ It will increase profits, and consumers won"t always realize they are being tricked."
Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores.   72   Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit.In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.
73    Let’s take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.
74    Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.Under current UK law. Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of stawberries is misleading.   75  Unfortunatcly, it is also legal and widespread,” Tokelove said.
A.The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B.Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C.They found that about 60 percent of them didn"t contain any fruit at all.
D.If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.
E.It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F.Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G.The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.

Here below are two pieces taken from a blog.
▲ Growing up as one of three girls I’ve always been keen on women’s issues.And now with three daughters to raise,I have the responsibility of ensuring that they grow up without any preconceived(预想的) ideas of their capabilities & potential based on their gender.Earlier this year I read an article that indicated that women surpassed men in the workforce for the first time in history.That is a milestone! And while we still don’t have equality in leadership positions or pay (especially if you’re a mom),we have made significant progress over the past couple of decades.All this prompted me to do some digging around to see what else I could learn.Here are some fun facts from the census bureau for you:
●29% of women aged 25 or older had obtained a bachelors degree in 2008 vs.18% in 1987.
●55% of all college students were women in the Fall of 2008.
●60% of women 20 years or older participate in the workforce today vs.34% in 1950.
●14% of the armed forces were women in 2008.compared to 2% in 1950.
▲We’re all looking to stretch the value of our dollar as much as possible.Every day as you juggle the needs of your family,remember to eat right,take your vitamins and keep up with laundry and bills-you probably also look for budget friendly,family appropriate activities.A day trip to a national park is a great way to explore all the wonders of nature,without breaking the bank.Once or twice a month,my wife and I will prepare for a leisurely hike in one of our favorite parks close to home.The night before,she makes some homemade granola and I make sure our reusable water bottles are full and on ice.Next time you’re looking for an inexpensive adventure that your family isn’t soon to forget,take a hike! To find a national park near you,just visit www.nps.gov
