When I was 17,I read a quote that went something like:“If you live each day as if it were your last,someday you’ll most certainly be right” It made a deep 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years,I have 2 in the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last day of my life, 3 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 4 ,I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 6 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death, 7 only what is truly important.

"I've changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back." Lucien Lawrence's letter to Father Christmas, written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gale, must have touched every heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stare for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again.And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart.I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than 1 ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I'm still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor,! was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to call my parents.The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!" I haven't forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas'' It's a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet " Deliver my soul from the sword(剑), and my darling from the power of the dog." Yet I know the death comes to us all,
and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die
tomorrow.We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved.and therefore we ought to have a care
for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to
be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some women’s colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again
The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women’s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a women’s college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women.
Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women’s college, women feel free to say what they think. Women’s schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women’s college every governing office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show this leadership continues after college. The studies show that American women who went to women’s colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.

A.teaching women is more difficult than teaching men |

Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I try to do.
I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.
Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
【小题1】Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?
A.Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. |
B.Because the writer was insincere. |
C.Because the student was naughty. |
D.Because the answer was difficult to understand. |
A.Stupid. | B.Honest. | C.Conservative (保守的). | D.Polite. |
A.The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. |
B.The writer’s answer made the student confused. |
C.In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. |
D.The writer annoyed the student who asked the question. |
A.the writer was also a good teacher in school |
B.the writer often plays with her students beside a pond |
C.the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students |
D.the writer often accompanies the students on their way home |
A.A student’s silly question. | B.A good teacher who likes students. |
C.A confused student. | D.The reason why I teach. |

Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to promise time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes- named Square Eyes- contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter (发射器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves(应得), based on the day's efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London, UK. "We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out," she says. "And I wanted to tackle that with my design."
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically (自动地) switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals exactly one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers(计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. "It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort," she says. "That was one of my main design considerations."
【小题1】According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to _____.
A.keep a record of the steps of the wearer. |
B.deal with overweight among teenagers. |
C.enable children to resist (抵制) the attraction of TV. |
D.prevent children from being tricked by TV programs. |
A.They control a child's evening TV viewing time. |
B.They determine a child's daily pocket money. |
C.They have raised the hot issue of overweight. |
D.They contain information of the receiver. |
A.sends teenagers' health data(数据) to the receiver. |
B.counts the wearer's steps through shaking. |
C.records the sudden movement of the wearer. |
D.make it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat |
A.Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight |
B.Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise |
C.Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise |
D.Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time |
