On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of
20、 my colleagues turned to me and said, “Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life.” At my inquiry, he answered, “Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.” As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleagues words no longer existed. When
21、 I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isnt the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though
22、 I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer. A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She th
23、anked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class not about math, but about life would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher. Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again ob
24、served the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献 ) and a deeper sense of satisfaction I will always be grateful that I am a teacher. 41. Hearing his colleagues description of graduation for the first time, the author . A. quite agreed with his colleague B. was very puzzled
25、 C. thought it very funny D. was very sad 42. The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to . A. university colleagues B. graduates clothes C. life memories D. decorations in the hall 43.

27、aries for different careers are different 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from china. When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thank
28、fully, we can get all these anywhere in India now. Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.” As long as I can remember she didnt even drink Indian tea. I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believe
29、d that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses. At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country. How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.
30、The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment (投资 ) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”. But its a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen off
31、ice workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China. No wonder that trade , which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US$15 billion for last year and US$20 billion by 2008, a goal
32、 set by both governments. No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印 )century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year. But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea. 45. Why did the mother ask for Chinese g
33、reen tea A. She was tired of Indian tea. B. She had a son working in China. C. She believed it had a curing effect. D. She was fond of Chinese products. 46. What does the author mean by “its a two-way street” in Paragraph 10 A. The exchanges between India and China benefit both. B. Tea trade works w
34、onders in both India and China. C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India. D. China and India have different traffic rules. 47. What do we know about the Indian IT industry A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen. B. It is seeking further development in China. C. It has attracted a
35、n investment of US$15 billion. D. It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008. 48. In the text the author expresses _. A. his concern for his mothers health B. his support for drinking Chinese green tea C. his wonder at the growth of Indias IT industry D. his surprise at Chinas recent development 答
36、案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open peoples mind to another culture or race. People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For
37、 example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very differ
38、ent from their own. “Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinderella (灰姑娘 ), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.” Working with students in schools, Pugh hel
39、ps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they dont like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story.
40、 Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “there is a greater need for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says. Pugh spent several years in
41、Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says. “I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people
42、can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybodys story.” 49. What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2 A. They share the same way of storytelling. B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures. C
43、. They learn their stories from the American natives. D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults. 50. The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _. A. start a new life B. settle down in another place C. direct films D. become good actors 51. Pugh has practis
44、ed storytelling with _ groups of people. A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 52. What is the main idea of the text A. Storytelling can influence the way people think. B. Storytelling is necessary to the growth of business. C. Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school. D. Storytelling helps people u
45、nderstand themselves and others. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. How
46、ever, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two. Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference. Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and
47、 happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues. “Dolla
48、rs buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other waysscientists or actors, for examplemay happily accept relatively poorly -paid jobs. In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desiresnot
49、just for money, but for friends, family, job, healthrose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距 ). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” say
