26、 I never planned to be a teacher. I was headed for a law school, for a real career. Teaching was something to “get out of my system”. I would teach a couple of years and then go to get a real job. After the first couple of years, I promised myself I would leave if I didn’t love my job any more. Twenty-nine years later, that day still has not come.
So, why do I stay? I stay because I laugh and learn every day. The children are funny, insightful, and honest. If my shoes don’t match my outfit, they tell me. If my argument that Invisible Man is an important twentieth century classic doesn’t convince them, they tell me.
I stay because every single day is different. Some days, my lessons are great, and I have classes of students who are engaged in reading, writing and thinking. Some days, my lessons fall flat, and I realize that I need to start from the beginning - even after 29 years.
I stay because I love to see the children realize that they have learned something; I love to see the children write well; I love the feeling of reading a well-argued essay, and I love smiling as I write a final “Awesome job!” on a paper on which a student has worked hard.
I stay because what I’ve learned in 29 years is that I do have a “real” job - the most real job there is. It’s the one that leads to other jobs, that helps to create good thinkers who go on to be productive in our society, and that supports our community as it grows and times change. My job is among the ones that matter most.
【1】The author became a teacher because he _________.

C.enjoys his time with his students D.doesn’t read many classics
【3】What does the underlined phrase “fall flat” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.end in failure B.pay off C.make sense D.fall into ruin
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.What the author has learned as a teacher.

D.Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.
27、 In 1977, a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto pointed out a simple yet puzzling biological fact: we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but we don’t.
Dr. Peto’s argument was simple. Every time a cell divides, there’s a small chance it will gain a mutation(突变) that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate (聚集) several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as mice—and thus should be far more likely to get cancer.
A number of scientists have assumed that large, long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.
Dr. Joshua D. Schiffman, an oncologist (肿瘤学家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast, 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.
To understand the elephants’ defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.
To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV light.
“In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.
Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Leicester, who was not involved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didn’t firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies don’t actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead, they may act as decoys (诱饵) for enzymes (酶) that destroy p53 proteins.
Dr. Muller said it was especially important to understand precisely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.
【1】What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?
A.Human should be more likely to develop cancer than mice.
B.Cell division can increase the speed of growth of mutations.
C.The bigger an animal is, the smaller chance of getting cancer it has.
D.Dr. Peto’s argument was not simple.
【2】According to the passage, p53 is ______.
A.a protein to prevent cancer B.a gene to defend against cancer
C.a protein to destroy damaged cells D.a gene to change cells
【3】What does Dr. Schiffman say about the extra copies of p53 fighting cancer?
A.They cause the cells to repair the genes.
B.They stop cells from dividing further.
C.They act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.
D.They cause the cells to commit suicide.
【4】Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Dr. Schiffman pointed out that we humans don’t have more cancer than mice.
B.The cancer death rate of humans is five percent higher than that of elephants.
C.The scientists found there are 20 pairs of p53 genes in elephants.
D.Dr. Muller also took part in the studies.
28、Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries?Whether your worries are big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.
【1】
The first step is to find out what you’re worried about. Sometimes you know it, but sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even if it might not be so easy.
Think of the ways to make it better.
【2】 Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem. Grades at school are often a top worry for students. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
★How do I get ready for class?Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?
★Do I have a good place to do my homework?【3】
★Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do-write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, apologize to him or her etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.【4】
Ask for help.
When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with. 【5】 They will help you analyze(分析)your problems carefully and solve them easily.
A．Try to find out the causes.
B．Seek ways to make you feel happy.
C．Consult your teacher when in trouble.
D．You can turn to your parents, friends, or teachers for help.
E．There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried.
F．Actually the grades will improve when you deal with the homework seriously.
G．Things will become better if you are willing to think of various ways to deal with them.
29、In the UK，Mother’s Day is traditionally known as Mothering Sunday. 【1】，Mother’s Day is a lot quieter than others-they usually all stay out of the public eyes.On this day，they’re a lot more like us! Since they already celebrated, keep reading to find out exactly what they do to get inspiration for your own mom--or “mum”!
1. Stay Out of the Public Eyes
There actually aren’t a ton of things on this special day. 【2】as they should! Last year，for example，Prince Harry brought then-fiancée Meghan Marble to see the queen，and they were only photographed out and discussed about the next day，which was Commonwealth Day.
2. Give Flowers to Their Mums
Since the beginning of the Mothering Sunday holiday，children have given their mums flowers，and small gifts，and the royal family sticks with this tradition. 【3】，flowers are still at the top of the list for all British families on this holiday.
3. Release Photos to the Public
Although this doesn’t happen every year，the royal family have been known to release unseen photos to the public on Mother’s Day.For example，Prince William and his family released an adorable family photo on Mother’s Day back in 2014 when it was just little Prince George and his parents.In 2018，the royal family unveiled(揭开)a never-before-seen picture of Queen Elizabeth II and her family-including all of her children and husband Prince Philip-at their more private residence，Frog more，from 1965.【4】.
4. Spend Time With Their Mothers
【5】.Kate Middleton has been known to spend time with her royal side of the family and then head out to Berkshire to see her own mother，Carole Middleton.
A．Like all children try and do，the royal family spend time with their respective mothers on this special day
B．In fact，they just stay out of the public eyes and spend time with family
C．We also have more choices to make as for what to buy on mother’s day
D．It’s basically our version of Facebook photos
E．Though cards and gifts have made their way into the celebration in more recent years
F．And while the royals may hold various activities to celebrate the special day
G．Royal family members would rather go to church to celebrate the occasion quietly

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
