    A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
    　What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
    　Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”
    　Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief and attitude toward children.
    小题1:The professor started his research by _______.
    A．teaching the five children himself
    B．asking the five children to find a new teacher
    C．telling the five students to work harder than ever before
    D．telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class
    小题2:The five average students became top students mainly because of ________.
    A．the professor’s study B．the teachers’hard work
    C．the change in the teachersD．the change in the teachers’ attitude
    小题3:What does the passage mainly tell us？
    A．Attitude and belief can change a person.
    B．Only teachers can make you a top student.
    C．A professor’s study can help you score highest.
    D．If you want to get more，you should have new teachers.

    小题3:A

    I loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it when mother sat doing letters. Looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
    Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother,“But the desk,”she said again,“is for Elizabeth. ”
    I never saw her get angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, and she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
    They never happened and a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”, but she lived“on the surface”.
    As years went by and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way that she did forgive (原谅) me.
    I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn’t come.
    It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to her.
    I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
    Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, though she had never been able to. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside… a photo of my father and a one-paper letter. Folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
    Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
    小题1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.
    A．after mother diedB．when she was a child
    C．before she became a writerD．when mother gave it to her
    小题2:The passage shows that mother _______.
    A．was too serious about everything her daughter had done
    B．was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
    C．cared much about her daughter in words

    小题3:The word“gulf”in the 4th paragraph means _______.
    A．deep understanding between the old and the young
    B．part of the sea going far in land
    C．free talks between mother and daughter

    It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of work, he returned to find his bike gone.
    The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
    I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our city offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger(陌生人) would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
    People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it made our confidence in humanity（人性）stronger as a whole. And it has also influenced us to be more mindful(在意的) of ways we can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be continuing for ever.
    小题1:Why was the bike so important to the couple?
    A．They used it for work and daily life.
    B．It was borrowed from their friend.
    C．It was a nice Kona18 speed.
    D．The man's job was bike racing.
    小题2:We can learn from the text that ________.
    A．the couple worked60 hours a week.B．people were busy before Christmas
    C．the stranger brought only the bike.D．life was hard for the young family.
    小题3:How did people get to know the couple's problem?
    A．From radio broadcasts. B．From a newspaper.
    C．From TV news. D．From a stranger.
    小题4:What do the couple learn from their experience?
    A．Strangers are usually of little help.
    B．One should take care of their bike.
    C．News reports make people famous.
    D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.

    One young excellent person was trying to find a high position in a big company. It was the director who would make the final decision.
    The director discovered that the young man did an excellent job in his college, which interested him a lot.
    The director asked, “Who paid for your college?”
    The young man answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was just my mother.”
    “What did your mother do?” The director seemed surprised.
    “She is a clothes cleaner,” the young man answered, with no feeling.
    “Have you ever helped your mother wash some clothes before?”
    “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. She could wash clothes faster than me,” the young man seemed puzzled (迷惑) when answering.

This pair of hands enabled him to go through college. This pair of hands was the price that his mother had to pay for his life and his future.
    The next morning, the director asked the young man, “Now tell me what you learned yesterday.”
