She was tempted (想要) to say that intelligence differs and that yes, her son’s friend really was the smarter boy. But that would have so upset her son. Thank goodness she resisted the temptation to say it.
Her son and his friend went on to high school that year, but despite trying as hard as he could, her son’s friend still outdid him. But she was proud of her boy for his hard work, sincerely proud. It was around this time she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip, she at last found an answer for him.
Today her son no longer cares about rankings. He doesn’t have
to, for he himself is now the top of the class – at the top national university he attends. Invited to speak to his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience: “Once, on a trip to the sea, my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me: ‘Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The “clumsy” seagulls (海鸥) are far less agile (灵活的) and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these “clumsy” birds prove to
have the biggest, strongest wings, which open the widest and allow the bird to travel the furthest. When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls.”小题1: From the first paragraph, we could conclude the mother ______.

| A．she knew her son would forget his rankings soon |
| B．she felt intelligence doesn’t mean everything |
| C．she knew he was not strong enough for the truth |
| D．she wanted to avoid another blow to her son’s self-respect |
___.a. only rankings show intelligence
b. hard work and confidence can lead to a change in rankings
c. parents should see children’s strengths and encourage them
d. competition between students is good for society
| A．bc | B．cd | C．abc | D．bcd |
| A．How important are rankings? |

| C．The answer Mom gave |
| D．Hard work pays off! |

But in London, dinner parties are in people"s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It"s like a gathering at Bloomingdale"s, a well-known department store.

for clothes was considered to be an affair of females，while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness．This type of American culture is gradually changing as man’s dress takes on greater variety and color．Even as early as 1955，a research in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important．White—collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability，which could be used to impress or influence others，especially in the work situation．The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss．Although blue-collar workers were less aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing，they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers．
Since that time，of course，the patterns have changed，the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt，while the blue-
collar may be wearing a white shirt，but the importance of dress has not become less. Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.小题1:The passage tells us that .

Walking over to the offender, I asked for the 21 ．Frozen, she refused to give it to me．I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 22 between teacher and student．When she finally 23 it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it”.
It was a hand-drawn 24 of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth．I managed to fold it up calmly．My mind, 25 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 26 .
I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture．It would do them some 27 to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 28 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture．They were all silent as I told them how 29 this was for me．I told them there must be a reason 30 and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me．Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom．
As I 31 the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt．” Some kids said, “We’re 32 of you．” But two notes, from the girls who I 33 were behind the picture, had a list of issues．I was too 34 , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 35 my students, I had begun commanding them to 36 ．Where I thought I was driving them to success I was 37 driving them away．
I had some apologizing to do．But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card．The one 38 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke．The one from the girls asked for 39 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me．Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 40 .

People always say that teenage friendships are the most precious. Kids are too young to understand real friendship while adults 33 to relate it to fame and wealth.
Things are 34 with high school best friends. We share each other’s secret. We discuss news from all walks of life and begin to 35 our values. We support each other on the journey to the biggest 36 in our lives. We also share success and failure. The seeds of friendship become deeply rooted.
Many of us don’t realize this 37 we enter society. One of my friends, Yang Ping, 38 how strong the bond with high school friends could be. “ It was my high school friend who helped me get 39 the darkest days in my life,” said the 27-year-old girl.
In 2001 Yang lost her job in Beijing. Yang’s best friend was staying in a college dormitory and took her in. Each night the two girls squeezed into a narrow single bed, chatting and crying. “I’ll never forget her care and encouragement, which supported me out of the darkness,” said Yang.
I 40 remember my last days in Senior 3. At the time, I 41 a 20-page message with my best friend, both of us hoping to keep the friendship 42 forever.
But we didn’t realize we were already deep in each other’s 43 . During the past ten years, whenever I’ve needed help or wanted to pour out my 44 , she has always been there at the other end of a telephone line.
It is true that friends come and go. But never forget the ones who have been there for you. Take a closer look at those now around you, they could be the most precious 45 you discover in your entire life.
