26、 As each semester begins, my colleague greets his students wearing a jacket and tie.
“You make only one first impression, " he says. So, while the rest of the semester he teaches class in his usual, more casual clothes, the first week he presents a different image.
His thought is that students will remember their encounter positively and more readily think highly of him as the semester goes on because that favorable first impression has an influence on them. The big influence of first impressions is related to the halo effect, where the perception of the positive qualities in one thing or part gives rise to the perception of similar qualities in related things or in the whole.
Here is an example: You meet a friendly person at a party and later are asked to collect money for a worthy cause. You call that person because you think she will make a contribution. In reality, there is no connection between being pleasant and being generous. Yet the halo effect leads you to think that the two are related.
The halo effect is powerful, but is it questionable whether it matters much in long-term relationships, such as that between teachers and students? While dressing up may make students think the teacher must know his subject matter because he creates a professional first impression, the effect wears thin if the person turns out to be a poor teacher after all.
First impressions matter but they don't have the final word. Facts speak louder. If you had never seen or heard of Einstein, the first time you saw him your impression would most likely be negative. Now his face is connected with genius, not madness because he is the person who has come to define what genius is.
The problem is that few of us are Einstein and we often don't get the chance to change a negative first impression.
【1】In the author's eyes, the halo effect_________.
A.is surprisingly powerful B.may affect our judgment of others
C.matters more in the long run D.makes some teachers irresponsible
【2】The author uses the example of Einstein to show the importance of________.
A.appearance B.impressions C.truth D.fairness
【3】The author seems to advise readers________.
A.to mind their first impressions B.not to judge a book by its cover
C.not to follow others’ judgment D.to pay no attention to the halo effect

29、 My dad passed away peacefully at home yesterday, surrounded by his family.
We are feeling grief but also gratitude. My dad's passing was not unexpected—he was 94 and his health had been failing—so we have all had a long time to reflect on just how lucky we are to have had this amazing man in our lives for so many years.
My dad had a great influence on my drive. When I was a kid, he never let me put very little effort into things I was good at, and he always pushed me to try things I hated. He modeled an amazing work ethic(道德准则)as one of the hardest-working and most respected lawyers in Seattle.
My dad's influence on our philanthropy(慈善行为)was just big. Throughout my childhood, he and my mom taught me by example what generosity looked like in how they used their time and resources. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation would not be what it is today without my dad. More than anyone else, he shaped the values of the foundation.
Finally, my dad had a positive influence on my most important roles—husband and father. When I am at my best, I know it is because of what I learned from my dad about respecting women and guiding children's choices with love and respect.
Dad wrote me a letter on my 50th birthday. "Over time," he wrote, “I have told you and others not to overuse the adjective 'incredible'. This is a word with huge meaning to be used only in extraordinary settings. What I want to say, here, is simply that the experience of being your father has been...incredible.”
I know he would not want me to overuse the word, but there is no danger of doing that now. The experience of being the son of Bill Gates was INCREDIBLE. People used to ask my dad if he was the real Bill Gates. The truth is, he was everything I try to be. I will miss him every day.
【1】The underlined part “my drive” in paragraph 3 refers to .
A.my attitude to wealth B.my interest in what is around
C.my choice of work D.my effort to achieve something
【2】Based on the text, which word can be used to describe the author's father?
A.Honest. B.Creative. C.Generous. D.Confident.
【3】At the end of the text, the author implies that .
A.he regarded his father as his role model
B.his father developed a strict parenting style
C.people annoyed him by asking who the real Bill Gates was
D.the family were not allowed to use the adjective 66incrediblew
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To remember his beloved father.
B.To inform people of his father's death.
C.To reflect on his relationship with his father.
D.To explain how his father got on with the family.

Once upon a time, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the top of the tree, ate the apples, and took a nap under the shadow He loved the tree and the tree also enjoyed playing with him.
As time went by, the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day, the boy came back to the tree, appearing sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy gently. “I am no longer a kid; I won’t play around trees anymore,” the boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry, but I don't have money. However, you can pick all my apples and sell them. Then, you will have money.” The boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn't come back after that.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!” the tree requested. “I am sad and becoming old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
Paragraph1:
Many years later, the boy finally returned.
