I never wanted to go to kindergarten (幼儿园), or leave home at all. I spent my first five years within the loving arms of my family, and when the time came for me to begin school at PS 116 in Brooklyn, I was sure that no one would keep me safe. But I was so lucky to meet Mrs.Heyman. Not only did she make me feel safe, she let me know that I was special.
Kindergarten was a fearful experience for me. I was a shy child who hated being separated from my mommy. Mrs. Heyman was a kind and patient teacher who tried to get me to stop crying each morning after I asked for one last kiss.
She would distract(转移……的注意力) me with pens and colorful paper and by playing beautiful music. It seemed the feeling of being an artist distracted me from my separation unhappiness, allowing me to attend class as the tears ran down my face. I also loved to sing and dance, and performed(表演) the Virginia reel—a kind of dance—when the principal(校长), Mr.Barton, visited our class.
Mr.Barton was an old, serious man who liked to walk behind children who behaved badly and shout, “Behave！” I was afraid of being shouted at by him, and practiced the dance with my classmates until MrsHeyman told us we were perfect.
Unluckily, I was so nervous before Mr.Barton’s visit that I wet myself. Mrs.Heyman calmly took me to the bathroom and told me to change into new clothes, drying my tears all the while, never showing judgment.
As I performed, Mr.Barton cheered. Pleased, I bravely stepped up to the front of the classroom and threw kisses in Mrs.Heyman’s direction.
I was lucky to have her again for the first grade, and learned to love school and learning. She was right about living my life without long－lasting attention from my mommy.
24. What was the author’s life like before he went to kindergarten?
A. Busy. B. Happy. C. Lonely. D. Unsafe.
25. How did Mrs.Heyman draw the author’s attention away from separation unhappiness?
A. By letting him do art. B. By giving him a kiss.
C. By dancing with him. D. By inviting his mother to school.
26. What can be learned about Mr.Barton?
A. He was always friendly. B. He was strict with the students.
C. He was interested in performing. D. He was full of praise for the author.
27. What happened before the author’s performance?
A. He got himself in a mess. B. He received ill－treatment.
C. He failed to find his new clothes. D. He visited the bathroom many times.
C
Social networking isn’t only for the under 40s. More than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research.
“The latest data tells us that more and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life for Americans 50 plus,” said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which released the report.
Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in touch with relatives, but not just their children and grandchildren. “They are using the Internet to keep up with the world and the people who are important to them,” said Jean Koppen, the author of the report. She added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family, but with their friends and those in the same age group. Almost 50 percent of older adults were introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild. “Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet,” according to the report.
The findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,863 adults. In addition to keeping up on Facebook and Twitter older adults are aware of the latest technology. Eighty-three percent had heard about the Apple iPad and 11 percent intended to buy one.
Despite the popularity of the Internet among the over 50s, they still mostly go to print newspapers and magazines for news. Only one percent said they followed blogs.
28. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Social networking isn’t for the under 40s in the U.S.A.
B. American old people’s way of life is quite fashionable.
C. Social networking is becoming popular among older Americans.
D. Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are the most popular websites in the US.
29Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. 85% of Americans 50 plus choose the Internet over print media.
B. About 460 people in the telephone survey often use Facebook.
C. About 20% of adults aged 50 plus have access to the Internet.
D. Three quarters of the people surveyed got to know the Internet through their family.
30. From the text, it can be concludedthat ________.
A. many older Americans are open-minded about new developments
B. Kevin Donnellan supports this change among older Americans
C. Young people should introduce their elders to new technology
D. In a high tech age it is difficult to avoid social networking
31. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A novel. B. A newspaper.
C. A technology guide. D. A student’s research paper
D
According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence—the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.
"It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."
32. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ________.
A. always look for praise B. increase self-confidence
C. become strong D. do better in their studies
33. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise teachers to _____.
A. make them live more happily B. let them do more difficult work
C. help them do better in school D. encourage them to improve
34. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Praise makes children become successful.
B. Children don't know what they're really good at.
C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.
D. Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children’s strengths.
35. What is the last paragraph about?
A. It’s important to have the habit of praising children.
B. Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C. We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D. What children with high self-confidence are like.

参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
“Pride goes before a fall,” they say and it certainly didin the case of poor Mary Lee. Happiness and Friendship werethe two subjects for the essay but Mary Lee knew little abouteither of them. As she scratched her head for ideas and wrotesomething aimlessly with her pen, she realized that shedidn’t have any friends to speak of and that she was very far from being happy.She had no idea, so she did not win the prize. Tears came into her eyes when she knew she was a loser this time.
Paragraph 2:
Mary Lee suddenly realized that how silly she had been.She felt so silly because all her money and her clevernessseemed nothing compared with not winning the prize. “Imustn’t be too proud or too sure,” she thought. “The fall istoo hard for me, because I have been too proud all thetime.”So she decided to make a change. She became a very pleasant person after that and herfellow pupils became her friends. She still won many prizes,but she never forgot the valuable lesson that the one prizeshe lost had taught her.
