    Three children aged nine, seven and three sat in their seats   37   to begin their little artistic creations. The warm clay and various tools made their eyes full of   38  . They were so excited to begin. Every word I said made them feel great in the clay class and so they began to create. The young artists enjoyed their   39   to touch, feel and express themselves until their parents  40   and controlled their every moment. They were told to do this, do that, use this, not that ... I   41   watched as the little blooms of creations were taken from their small hands.

    The three-year-old rebelled and was told she was   42  . I wanted to ask how the parents would feel if they were enjoying themselves creating a piece of art and I took it from them and totally controlled the   43   of its creation. I asked the controlling father if he would like to have a cup of coffee and let the three-year-old just   44 , explaining she would have fun and stop   45   him. He did and she continued focusing on her work with the most beautiful smile.

    科目：高中英语 来源：2011-2012学年广东省肇庆市二高高三第三次阶段考试英语题 题型：阅读理解

    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.

    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.

    2.What do you think of the writer?

    A．Stupid.

    B．Honest.

    C．Conservative （保守的）.

    D．Polite.

    3. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?

    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.

    4.We can infer from the text that _________.

    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

    5.What’s the main idea of the text?

    A．A student’s silly question.

    B．A good teacher who likes students.

    C．A confused student.

    D．The reason why I teach.

    Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsyl­vania Railway Station．

    After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging pas­sengers．I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it．”

    When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do．“You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye．“They’re paying you．If they want to do that, you let them do that．”

    I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since．

    Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me．Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions．Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience．If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone．I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal．If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone．

    Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble．

    1.What can be inferred about the baggage boys?

           A．They could earn much, but they had to work hard．

           B．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way．

           C．They were all from poor families．

           D．They were all thin, young boys．

    2.What does the father's advice imply?

           A．It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers．

           B．Don’t believe them if they are paying you more．

           C．Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers．

           D．It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy．

    3.The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ______．

           A．it is a totally shared experience          B．it is considered as the most dangerous

           C．it does great harm to human relationship       D．it may lead to the loss of his sports team

    4.It can be concluded from the text that ______．

           A．his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up

           B．working in the sports team was his most important experience

           C．he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members

           D．his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life
