11.It was graduatin day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the firstgraduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago,as we watched the students walking into the hall,one of my colleagues turned to me and said,"graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life."At my request,he answered,"Because the students you have got to know have to leave."
As years went by,my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students,I had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me,asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo corporation.His salary was higher than my present one,though I have more education and have worked for over 10years.With my programming skills,he said he could get me hired.I thanked him,but refused his kind offer.
A few days before this graduation,while working on final grades,I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class-not about math,but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading,I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now,on this sunny graduation day,as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns,I did so with a deeper sense of satisfaction-I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.

分析 本文作者首先从介绍一位同事在学生们的毕业典礼上对自己的一番话写起,然后讲述了自己作为一名老师的经历与感受,旨在说明虽然自己曾经在遇到淘气的孩子时,会很烦恼并对自己选择当老师这份职业产生了怀疑,但当看到那些身着蓝色帽子和长袍参加毕业典礼的学生们时,作者对老师这份职业便充满了感激与更深的满足感.
解答 答案:
41.B 细节理解题 根据第二段中的"my previous confusion about my colleague's words…"可知,作者曾经对同事的话感到很困惑;故选B.
42.C 内容归纳题 第二段中提到:当作者遇到淘气的孩子时,会很烦恼并对自己选择当老师这份职业产生了怀疑;并结合该段中的"Once a former computer science student of mine called me,asking me if I wanted to have a change."以及"With my programming skills,he said he could get me hired."可知,学生打电话是由于作者精通编程技术,他想聘用作者,即让作者改行,跟他去工作;故选C.
43.A 逻辑推理题 根据最后一段中的"on this sunny graduation day"可知,此处作者描述的是在学生的毕业典礼上,因此可推测出:作者观察到的应是身着蓝色帽子和长袍正在参加毕业典礼的学生们;故选A.
