8.It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother will push the conversation into World War III.She'll complain(抱怨) about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don't want to do any job related to science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can't you be like my coworker's son?"she bemoans all the time.Her coworker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr.Perfect,as I've called the unnamed coworker's son.I can't be like him.I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community,writes until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve a career because I love it,not because of fame (名声) or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother
struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6:30am and usually comes home around 5pm or even 6pm.However,I want her to know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

13.My friend,Peg,and I were seeking evidence that there were people who were treating our soil,our waters,our air with the love and respect they deserved.And we found it.
One day we saw a busload of school children on an outing.The bus had stopped at a hamburger stand where we were having a rest,and half-a-hundred children poured out.Busloads of children,of course,were not new,and I hardly gave them more than a glance until I realized what they were doing.Chatting and laughing,the children were picking up as much waste as they could carry from around the stand and its parking area.They took the waste to their bus,where several bags had been brought out for the waste.
Within five minutes,before our astonished eyes,that parking lot had been picked c lean.Impressed,I walked over to their teacher."I'm interested,"I began."In fact,I'm surprised at how those kids worked this place over.Is this some kind of environment protection class?"
"You'd never guess it,"he said,"but we're a history class."
"A history class?"
"That's right.We're on our way from Boston to visit Fort(城堡) Ticonderoga.Before the trip,one of the things we tried to find out was how the Ticonderoga countryside looked back in old days,"he said."In fact,we made a little table display of the scene,using toy buildings and toy trees.When one kid jokingly suggested we ought to put a few bottles and cans around to make it look real,the others blamed him.But the boy argued that he bet Ticonderoga would look like that today.Besides,if they thought it was so funny,were they prepared to clean it up if he was right?The class decided,however,that the entire fort might be too big a task to do.But they agreed to clean up any roadside area where they stopped on their way to the fort.And so that's what they did!"
41.How did the author feel when he understood what the kids were doing?A
A.Amazed.
B.Bored.
C.Disappointed.
D.Unconcerned.
42.Why were the students going to Fort Ticonderoga?A

B.To go outing for fun.

20.It is the last day of the school year and I stand empty-handed with no gift to give you.
It isn't that I haven't tried to think of something meaningful and special …quite to the contrary.For months I have combed shops and department stores,and even searched the Internet only to realize that nothing could measure up to the feelings of a mother's grateful heart and a teacher's loving devotion.
How I wish a colorful bundle of fresh wildflowers could reflect the beauty of your way with children!Jewelry would surely be nice,but what can I afford that would not grow quickly out of style?You deserve respect for your determination and creativity,your devotion and talent.
At the moment the first school bell rang last August,I placed in you my trust,believing you would teach my child and reserve respect for me as a parent.I added to that my constant and devoted wish that you would be reasonable and fair to set limitationsand rules while offering my child a chance to learn self-control.I sincerely hope that your classroom would be a safe shelter for my child to grow and learn,which is a perfect mixture of self-discipline and controlled instruction.I prayed for your health and your happiness,and your ability to be supplied with the tools necessary to complete your task as a teacher and educator.I offered you my time as often as I could,and my support for your cause.Occasionally,I even offered you a challenge when I spoke my mind,sometimes standing firm,sometimes giving up with a renewed assurance or a"wait and see"attitude!
  I wish with all my heart I could put a delicate ribbon on a wrapped package and give you a"something"to express my appreciation and affection,but I have nothing to give you that would be better than the precious gift I have ever had to offer and which you already so pleasantly accepted months ago-the one you have held close to your heart,laughed with and probably cried with,cheered and scolded-my child!
And today,as my child returns to my side for the summer,the gift I humbly give to you is found deep within my heart.
57.On the last day of the school year,the author has no gift to give the teacher,becauseB.
A.she has no time to think  of something meaningful and special
B.she cannot find something that can properly express her feelings
C.there is nowhere to buy a colorful bundle of fresh wildflowers

A.her child        B.her respect           C.her present          D.her support

A.the teacher can teach her child patiently
B.the teacher will not be too strict with her child
C.the teacher will teach her child enough self-control
