    I was at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Bambolim, Goa, in the 1980s. On Inspection Day one year, an officer and his team from the Board of Education were coming to see how our school was run. As usual, our teachers asked us to be prepared.

    At the end of the day, Mrs Sushila Tyaji, our Hindi teacher, walked in and told us that the inspector had come and quietly observed the class from the back door. He had also left an adverse remark! That was sad for us. Would we now be punished for having failed our teachers? There were no answers from Mrs Tyaji. Instead, she wrote the Hindi word “dukh” on the blackboard. And then she did something I have never seen a teacher do in my entire school life. She apologized.

    “I am sorry for having taught you something wrong,” she said. “I missed out the dots between the letters ‘du’ and ‘kh’. The inspector told me this in the staffroom. I hope you will not make this mistake in future.”

    That admission had a significant effect on me. If our teacher can say sorry to us when she is wrong, why can’t I? The incident helped me get rid of two common vices—ego and dishonesty.

    Twenty-three years passed. I had to let my teacher know what that lesson meant to me. I recently located Mrs Sushila Tyaji using the Internet and went to meet her with my husband.

    She smiled when she heard my story of how her small decades-old apology had transformed me for good. “It’s tough being a teacher. But every once in a while, when an old student comes along and tells us that we did something right, it makes up for everything else,” she said.

    1.The underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”.

    A. offensive B. unfavorable

    C. encouraging D. unforgettable

    2.At the end of Inspection Day, Mrs Tyaji ________.

    A. praised the students for their hard work

    B. expressed her disappointment in the students

    C. told the students that she had made a mistake

    D. punished the students for their bad behavior

    3.What did the author learn from Mrs Tyaji ?

    A. Honesty is the best policy

    B. Comfort is better than rude

    C. One can never be too careful

    D. It is better to be safe than sorry

    4.The author’s word during the visit made Mrs Tyaji feel ________.

    A. guilty B. contented

    C. surprised D. embarrassed

    Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two "Irelands". Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.

    In the 1840s, the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.

    For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.

    The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.

    1.What does the author tell us in paragraph 1?

    A. how the Irish fought against the English.

    B. how Ireland gained independence.

    C. how English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.

    D. how two "Irelands" came into being.

    2.We learn from the text that in Ireland __________.

    A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population

    B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside

    C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker

    D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments

    3.The last paragraph is mainly about __________.

    A. the Irish character

    B. Irish culture

    C. Irish musical instruments

    D. a famous Irish writer

    4.What can be the best title for the text?

    A. life in Ireland

    B. A Very difficult history

    C. Ireland, past and present

    D. the independence of Ireland

    Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university.” That sounds British. 1.

    2. Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.

    But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. 3.

    Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.

    Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. 4. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.

    The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. 5. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.

    A. A college can also be a part of a university.

    B. They offer more programs and do more research.

    C. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.

    D. Colleges and universities have many things in common.

    E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.

    F. Instead, they say “going off to college” or “when I was in college.”

    G. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.
