24、“Blue skies,” I sang, “smiling at me…” But no one was smiling. My classmates looked bored as they waited to rehearse (排练). It was just hours before the talent show, and my voice wasn’t sounding good. I sadly sat down on the floor. My act was too bad.

My parents were on their way. My mother had been my age when she started painting seriously, and had shown and sold work into her thirties. But her hands were now too busy washing, cleaning and making salad. Still, I kept hoping she’d start again. I gave her sketchbook (写生簿) every Mother’s Day and Christmas.

“Maybe I should read poems.” I found the show’s host and let her know.

“Next up, Sandra Beasley,” came the introduction.

No one had warned me about the spotlight (聚光灯). I squinted (眯着眼看), looking for my parents, but I couldn’t pick out either of their faces. My first poem was one to blueberries. Then I read a poem about chemistry class and found a rhythm, “This last one,” I said, “is for my mom.”

The poem described our laundry (洗衣) room, which had once been her studio. She was the artist. Where was her art?

“How can I learn,’ the poem finished, “if you do not teach?”

“Thank you,” I said. The audience (观众) gave a big hand. A friend took my arm as I left the stage.

“Wonderful” she said. “Jeez. Is your mom here?” My heart dropped. My mother had expected to hear me sing Blue Skies. Instead , she had been chastised (谴责) in front of all the audience.

When the house lights came up, I noticed my dad waving me over. “Well, hey,’’ he said. “That was something else.” She was standing on his other side．She could have said, “That’s not your story to tell.”

Instead she pulled me toward her. I laid my face to her shoulder so quickly that I’d never know for sure if her eyes were wet. There are some tears that a mother is not willing to show, there are some tears a daughter is not ready to see.

26、   Some English words have more than one meaning. These are called multi- meaning words.

Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, let's look at the word “ball” You could have a “ball” which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball” which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball” which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball” which means a dance.

_______Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can” which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job.

How about “fly”? You can “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants” which means you don't make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that the “fly” of the zipper.

There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why don't you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used?

If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly? …you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air …which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can!

A.do the can-can B.get canned C.be on the ball D.go to a ball

A.Let's try another word. B.Let's make a word list.

C.Here's a survey report. D.Here's the guessing game.

27、   When Tom was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing too much housework. But when Tom was an adult, he had more job satisfaction, a better marriage (婚姻) and was healthier. Most of all, he was far happier.

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more worthwhile lives than those who had not. "Boys who worked in the home or community gained the ability to do things well and came to feel they were useful members of society," said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."

Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health (心理健康) scores with  their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problem.

The relationship between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with different people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been out of job. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

【1】What do we knew about Tom?

A.He got little love from his parents.

B.He enjoyed his career and marriage.

C.He had few friends in his childhood.

D.He was disliked by others when young.

A.严厉的 B.敏锐的 C.稳定的 D.明显的

28、任务型阅读

阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，每空一词。

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is， the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking， Although I’m a shy man， I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned：

Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas， and they can only remember one or two of them， not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say， then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say， your audience won’t， either.

Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is， you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin， what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的)： the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not， they will be confused.

Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time， which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course， your speech will fail.

Following these suggestions above， you can make a good speech in public， and you will be an excellent speaker， I think.
