26、Cleary was working as a librarian in Washington, when a little boy marched up and asked, “Where are the books about kids like us?” Cleary realized she had had the same thought as a girl. There had been plenty of books about kids but none that appealed to common neighborhood kids. So she set out to fill that gap. The hero of her first book Henry Huggins was an adventurous third-grader with hair “like a scrubbing brush” and a skinny dog named Ribsy.
Cleary was born on her family’s farm. When she was 6, they moved to Portland. Though Portland would become the sting for many of her books, she struggled to adapt to city life. Cleary was a slow reader at first, but in third grade she was going through a children’s novel when she “discovered I was reading,” Cleary said, “and enjoying it” Cleary found both comedy and drama in the smaller incidents of life, but she did not avoid serious themes. In 1977’s Ramona and Her Father, Ramona tries to persuade her dad to quit smoking—hanging a sign at home reading “NO SMOKING”. To attract her own young son to read, Cleary created a new character for 1965’s The Mouse and the Motorcycle—Ralph S. Mouse, a creature who makes friends with a human boy.
For 30 years Cleary answered her fan mails herself. Dear Mr. Henshaw was inspired by two letters asking her to write a book about a boy whose parents are divorced. The novel, constructed as a series of letters between a lonely sixth-grader and his favorite writer, won the Newbery Medal, the top prize for children’s literature. Whatever she wrote, Cleary was always guided by the child she had once been. “That little girl,” she said, “prevents me from writing down to children and from writing an adult recollection (回忆) about childhood instead of a book to be enjoyed by children.”
【1】Why did Cleary decide to write books for ordinary kids?
A.A little boy asked her to do so.
B.It was her dream as a little girl.
C.Ordinary kids couldn’t afford books.
D.Books then didn’t attract ordinary kids.
【2】What can we know about Cleary from paragraph2?
A.Many of her books were set in Portland.
B.She adapted to city life very soon.
C.She disliked reading at the fourth grade.
D.Her books were mainly comedies.
【3】Which novel won the top prize for children’s literature?
A.Henry Huggins.
B.Ramona and Her Father.
C.Dear Mr. Henshaw.
D.The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
【4】Who does the underlined “that little girl” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.One of her fans.
B.The young Cleary.
C.A lonely six-grader.
D.The character Ramona.

Peer mediators help the disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use:

28、My aunt Edith was a widow of 50,working as a secretary,when doctors discovered she had got what was then thought to be a very serious heart illness.
Aunt Edith didn’t accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart doctor,Dr.Michael Debakey,of Houston,Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same illness. The article said Dr Debakey’s fees were very high;Aunt Edith couldn’t possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay?
So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live:her three children,who would be on their own in three or four years and among them a little girl who always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn’t a word of self-pity-only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter,not really expecting an answer.
A few days later,my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn’t wait to come in;she stood in the hall and read aloud:
Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston,there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.
Signed:Michael Debakey
That was seven years ago. Since then,Aunt Edith has been around the world. Her three children are happily married. For her age,she is one of the youngest,most alive people I know.

29、 Certainly, a well-rounded education is the foundation of our growth. I am grateful to the many incredible(难以置信的) teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for lifelong learning! I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children’s lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.
However, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character’s parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.
Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works — the credit card isn’t free money — you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this — they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.
Choosing a career is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It’s not that she didn’t know what she wanted to do. What she “wanted to do” and the degree she chose did not match.
I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven’t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time letting them experience real life — maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high schools that give them a “feel” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.
【1】The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 5 probably means “______”.
A.specific B.regular
C.discouraging D.temporary
【2】The author believes that ______.
A.students need to focus on the skills in learning
B.parents should agree with school in education
C.his daughter is smart enough to make her own choice
D.courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students
【3】What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A.Schools should prepare students for the real life.
B.Students should spend more time discussing practical problems.
C.What students learn in school should be practiced in life.
D.Life experience is of greater importance than school education
