18、at she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didnt play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him. Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of h
19、is mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mothers perfume(香水 ). Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an
20、 hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boys mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become on
21、e of the smartest children in the class. Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last
22、one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D. (医学博士 ). The story doesnt end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompsons ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.” Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her ey
23、es, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference.

But early horses werent tame (驯服的 ) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions
27、 humans had with horses were far different from those today. Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication. As people began to tame and ride horses, they cho
28、se to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals. Characteristics like strength
29、 are partly controlled by the animals genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of houses would show more of these chosen characteristics. Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety di
30、dnt exist in the horse population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breedstypically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井 ) with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene ar
31、ound 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads. The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horse were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads all
32、owed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid trans
33、portation helped cultures spread around the world. 【小题 1】 Before domestication horses were _. A caught for sports B hunted for food C made to pull ploughs D used to carry people 【小题 2】 The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to show _.

34、to have gentle personalities C some horses have better shaped than others D horses were of less variety before domestication 【小题 3】 Horses contributed to the spread of culture by _. A carrying heavy loads B changing farming methods C serving as a means of transport D advancing agriculture in differe

A why humans domesticated horses B how humans and horses needed each other C why horses came in different shapes and sizes D how human societies and horses influenced each other 答案：【小题 1】 B【小题 2】 D【小题 3】 C【小题 4】 D It is often necessary to release a fish
36、, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just dont want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who
37、practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day. When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in t he water as much as possible. Dont use a net in la
38、nding the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying. Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Dont wipe the scales ( 鱼鳞 ) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival. Remove your hook ( 鱼钩 ) quickly. If the hook is too de
39、ep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish. Take good care of the fish by m oving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim. Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other conta
40、iners and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away. With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival. 【小题 1】 People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they _. A dont wa
41、nt it to die B hope it will grow quickly C dont want to have it as food D want to practice their fishing skills 【小题 2】 Which of the following will probably make a fish ill A Taking the hook off it.

I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮） me and train me up for love. It is f
44、or these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would
45、come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Lets start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too,
46、 were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had
47、felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which w
48、e often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the others dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell.”We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家）， who will only fill up the healing（愈合的） silence neces
