17、t all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little gift, he created an English environment by providing
18、 me with flash cards, fun English-language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened (唤醒) when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself. I was confused (迷惑不解
19、的) and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his ideas. At first, I read stories with tears in my eyes and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me.
20、 In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And thats why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is the one who awo

24、lish well by herself without her father.BMy first visit to London was one and a half years ago. It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks, and I had many impressions.I had always been dreaming of seeing the Tower Bridge and the famous Big Ben clock. I visited these places, and I
25、went on a tourist boat on the River Thames and saw two coasts. First, I went to the Tower of London, and it is really a very interesting historical place. A long time ago, it was a prison. Later it became a castle for the royal family, but later they left this place, and lived in Buckingham Palace a
26、nd Kensington Palace.I also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament (议会大厦) and Westminister Abbey. They are very old and beautiful. The Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is fantastic.In London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Regents Park, Hyde Park, Green Park, S
27、t.

31、on7C. Do You Like London? D. Come and Visit LondonCChildren at a school in Italy today have begun an experiment to replace all their books with personal computers. The pupils involved will each be given a special laptop that contains their entire curriculum. Until today, the Don Milani di Rivoli ele
32、mentary school in central Turin was like any other. Children turned up, got out their books and pens and began the process of learning. But now, in whats being described as a unique experiment, 60 fifth-grade pupils and a number of third graders, will start using computers only.The mini-laptops, whi
33、ch run Windows software, all have a full curriculum programmed into them. The pupils will use the computers to do all their reading and writing. Security systems within the laptops mean the childrens access to the Internet is strictly controlled. The machines weigh less than a kilogram, can be dropp
34、ed from a height of 1.5 metres and are waterproof. Instead of spending 700 dollars a year on books, the laptops, built by the Italian company Olidata, cost less than 400 dollars.

Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us - believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a
40、friendship or family relationship. A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to r
41、each out, she said, “I can t do that. Hes the one who should apologize.“ After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when s
42、omeone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)“ into really “big stuff“ in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must unde
43、rstand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn t mean that you re wrong. Everything will be fine. You 11 experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of lettin
44、g others be right.You 11 also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right“, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don t, that s okay too. You 11 have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your pa
45、rt to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.68. The underlined word “rekindle“ in Paragraph 1 probably means .A. recover B. develop C. accept D. replace69. In the author s opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think .A. we can turn small issues into bi
46、g onesB. our positions are higher than othersC. our own opinions matter mostD. others will be less defensive70.

48、re absent from early photographs. In 1852, for instance, a girl sat for her Daguerrotype. her head slightly turned, giving the camera an unsmiling look.
