I have never learned as much math in my life as I did last year, It was because of Ms. Pam  21    I truly understood what I was learning. It might not seem  22     a big deal to some,but to me it is. I have never met a woman so caring and so determined to teach her  23  .

I never really wanted to work for good   24   in math class. I never knew how to study math and never understood some of the concepts. I can remember trying to sneak (偷偷溜出) the classroom    25    Ms. Pam caught me and yelled across the   26   ," Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch?" It was a nightmare… She would always  27  me with one foot out of the door; it never   28  . Even then I just thought of it as a thing I had to do. It was funny to see how everyone would be in her room during lunch and then again after school. She would  29  everyone to come every day,just so we could do our homework in  30  .

Many of the students thought of her as a bit of nag (唠叨),but  31  they knew that she was right and   32   for it. Many of her tests were hard at first,but as the year progressed,many students felt them easier,so did I. I knew that it was because of her.

Even outside class,she was  33  as ever. She always wanted to know what was going on in my(and everyone else’s)life,and she was always looking out for everyone’s best interest.

    Ms. Pam is a sweet woman with a sense of   34   that you just have to laugh at. When regents were approaching,she was more concerned than ever about everyone doing well. Many of her precious students   35  high,and so she  36  the same from us. Day after day there were students in the classroom   37   problems. When it was time for our big test,I knew I was ready. I walked out of that test with my head  38 . I knew that I was a  39  and Ms. Pam had made me that way, I appreciated all the hard work that she put into helping me and my fellow students. I knew that I would  40  her.

Sandy, who had a  17  relationship with her mother, decided to write her mother. Her letter  18  “We’ve had some  19  times and I haven’t always been a very good 20 ,but I know I’m lucky to have you in my life. You’re the  21 person I’ve ever known, And even when I disagree with you, I never  22 you love me and want what’s best for me. Thanks for not  23 up on me”.
When her mom read the note, she cried and hugged Sandy  24 but said little.
The next morning, Sandy found a 25  on her mirror: “Dearest Sandy, I want you to know being your mother is ,by far, the most important thing in my life.  26 I got your note, I thought I had lost your love and  27 .

Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?

Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.

But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.

People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible(可弯曲的). When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.

When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don’t merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know – your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!

1.Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy?

A.Because they didn’t like the design of the Eiffel Tower.

B.Because they couldn’t avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.

C.Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.

D.Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.

2.According to the passage, it can be inferred that what won’t disturb us are _____________.

A.the changes that have agreement with one’s will

B.the small changes we meet in our daily life

C.the changes whose effect we can predict and control

D.the changes that we discuss or consider thoroughly

3.How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring?

A.We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.

B.We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.

C.We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.

D.We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.

4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A.The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.

B.The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.

C.Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.

D.Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.

5. What is the best title for the passage?

A.The Psychology of Change                 B.The ways to Overcome the Fear

C.Changes That Disturb Us                  D.The Bad Effect of Changes

Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle (航天飞机)Challenger , in June, 1993.The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable.Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.
Norma didn’t travel alone.She brought about 100 companions along with her.Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony (群体) to travel into space.The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.
The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip.The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened.The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed.The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed.The hot, dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture (水分).
The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information.Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong.They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring (再发生) on future missions .They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.
【小题1】The story is mainly about       .

A.Sally Ride’s first ride
B.space equipment for insects
C.a space experiment with ants
D.going to school in New Jersey
【小题2】The project wasn’t a failure because       .
A.some important things were learned
B.dead ants are better
C.everything went as expected
D.students wrote about it
【小题3】The ants died because       .
A.weightlessness harmed them
B.space caused too much pain
C.no one fed them in space
D.they dried out in the desert
【小题4】On the next space trip , ants       .
A.will be sent without people
B.should not be left in the desert too long
C.will have to pay double fare
D.will escape the trip completely
