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.

D.Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.
27、 Recent research shows the importance of friendship, and its influence on mental and physical health. Preschool friendships are helpful in developing social and emotional skills, increasing a sense of belonging and reducing stress. People who feel lonely tend to be more depressed, have more health problems and may have a shorter lifespan.
Paul Schwartz, a professor of psychology and child behavior expert, has noted the many benefits of childhood friendship. “Friendships significantly help the development of social skills, such as being sensitive to another’s viewpoints, and learning the rules of conversation and age-appropriate behaviors,” Schwartz said. More than half of the children with emotional behavioral problems have no friends or find difficulty interacting with peers.(同龄人).”
“Friends also have a powerful influence on a child’s good or poor school performance, and may also help encourage or discourage deviant(反常的) behaviors,” he continued. “Compared to children who lack friends, children with good friends have higher self-worth, act more socially, and can deal with life stresses and transitions(过渡期).”
Both boys and girls form strong attachments to others and both need social and emotional support. Unfortunately, stereotypes(固有形象) of boys often send the message that boys don’t feel as strongly or form the same type of attachments in their friendships, but this is wrong. It’s human nature to attach to certain people and want closeness and support from others, regardless of gender.
At Powell Elementary School in Washington, all the teachers make an effort to place children in classes with others with whom they have developed friendships. This is designed to help children maintain(维系) special relationships.
Jason Harris, a prekindergarten teacher at Powell, said efforts to place children in classes with their friends have proven to be beneficial. “This year I am sending half of my class to kindergarten,” Harris said. “They will probably be nervous in the fall but less so because they will have a few warm faces who are happy to see them when they step in that classroom for the first time.”
“I do not believe that children can learn if they do not feel comfortable and valued the classroom,” said Amy Symonds, another prekindergarten teacher at the school.
There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for friendship; people develop socially in different ways. There’s, however, ways to help children develop relationship skills that will build deep, meaningful connections with others. And it’s important to note that the benefits of friendship are based on quality, not quantity.
【1】What can we learn from Paul Schwartz's words?
A.Kids should stay away from friends who are bad influences.
B.Children who lack friends are less likely to be respected by peers.
C.The development of adults' social skills depends on preschool friendships.
D.Over half of children's behavioral problems are caused by their interaction with peers.
【2】What is the fixed idea that people have according to the text?
A.Girls don't need to form strong attachments to boys.
B.Loneliness contributes a lot to a person's shorter lifespan.
C.Boys need less closeness and support from other than girls.
D.It's hard for boys and girls to form the same type of friendship.
【3】The strategy used at Powell Elementary School is to help children ________.
A.develop special relationships with their teachers
B.lessen their fears about the transition to a higher grade
C.learn as much social and cultural knowledge as possible
D.follow class rules and change age-in appropriate behaviors
【4】Following the last paragraph, the author would most probably further talk about ________.
A.when and where to develop friendships
B.what developing childhood friendships is for

28、Bill Bowerman was a track coach. He wanted to help athletes run faster. So he had learnt how to make running shoes. He had also started a shoe company with a friend. It was 1971.Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes(鞋钉)on the sole(鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.
To make a lighter shoe, Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole, he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill dug through his wife Barbara's jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern. He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked. Bill was defeated.
Then, one Sunday morning, Barbara made Bill waffles(华夫饼)for breakfast. Bill watched her cook.
He studied the criss-cross pattern on a waffle iron.
Inspiration struck. The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were flatter and wider than sharp spikes. The pattern would help the shoes hold any surface without tearing into it.
When Barbara left the house, Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that, when mixed, would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron---and the Waffle Trainer was born.
Bill’s company put the Waffle Trainer on market in 1974.It was a huge hit. Maybe you’ve heard of that company---it’s called Nike. And today it’s worth around $100 billion.
It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill’s life---and helped turn Nike into a well-known name. Today, the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters. It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying, we can find a solution to even the most difficult problems. And those solutions can come from unlikely places, even the breakfast table.

A．A cheerful wife is the joy of life.
B．Two heads are better than one.
C．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
D．A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
