I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher,I always 31 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher 32 I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a 33 idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they wouldlaugh atme. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my ‘going for it ’, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a34 .
Getting up the courage to gotothe tryouts(选拔)was only the half ofit! When I first started attending, the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much less what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 35 and take a shot at a wrong direction ---which made me feel really stupid. 36 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not to be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 37 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the challengingpart in me was winning over my lack of 38 . With time, I learned how to play and make friends in the process ---friends who39 my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun.
With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “40 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand ---even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
31.A. hated B. failed C. chose D. led
32.A. explained B. suggested C. remembered D. warned
33.A. special B. wonderful C. simple D. crazy
34.A. help B. try C. hope D. plan
35.A. confused B. interested C. excited D. relaxed
36.A. Luckily B. Quietly C. Normally D. Slowly
37.A. steps B. orders C. rules D. games
38.A. confidence B. energy C. knowledge D. practice
39.A. stopped B. brought C. lent D. respected
40.A. playing B. standing C. hiding D. moving

Mary Cassatt is considered one of America’smost famous female artists.
She was born in Pennsylvania in 1844. When she was a child, Mary and her family spent five years traveling and living in Europe. Mary saw the great art museums, and she wanted to become an artist.
When she was seventeen, she said that she wanted to go to Paris to study art. At that time people thought that only men could become painters. It was not considered proper work for a woman. Her father refused to let her study art. Finally he said she could study it if she went to a school near their home. She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
At her graduation in 1866, she again said that she had to go abroad to learn more about painting. Her father agreed to let her go. At 22 she sailed for Paris. She lived in France, but she went to other countries in Europe. She spent a lot of time in museums. She worked hard to improve her work.She studied the famous paintings of the old masters, and she copied and sketched(画素描) for hours.
She found, though, that she preferred the new ideas used by a group of artists living in Paris. They called themselves impressionists (印象派画家). Like them Mary Cassatt tried to show real people and the real world. Because these ideas were new, it took some years before people knew her as the great artist that she was.

People living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in this country each year.Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.

Has everyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons become changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.
Take the kitchen sink(水槽) for example.
Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter, carefully cleaning the sink.
“Don’t do that. What are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism.
“Mum,” she said, “you really should put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”
But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?”
A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.
Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.”
“It looks absurd.”
“Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”
“Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said successfully, as if that proved her point.
But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.
She had returned home for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my friend left me at the front door, it was about 2 am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightdress stopped me.
“Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”
Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through.
53. The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen well because of her ___.
A. laziness B. carelessness C. unhappiness D. poor-quality glasses
54. What does the underlined word “absurd” mean?
A. stupid B. pretty C. lovely D. proper
55. The writer wants to prove that _____.
A. their relationship became stronger
B. her daughter cared about her very much
C. their roles changed as time passed
D. her daughter got upset as she grew up

Pay attention to special behaviour.
When someone doesn’t behave as usual, you should pay close attention. ___59 ___ Janine Driveruses the children song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” as a way to learn about that person’s true feelings.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her
side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院).I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a
ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of anunusualbuilding and would sit looking atinto the darkness, saying nothing.
In the early morning, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much should I pay?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended when she said, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
bend and hug

Hello,everyone. I’m an inventor. My job is to invent new things, and I work when I’ve got an idea. My workroom is in my house, so I can work whenever I want to. Sometimes I work seven days a week; sometimes I don’t work for days. I usually get up at about five o’clock. I make some tea, and start to work at six. I drink tea all day, but I don’t eat anything until evening. First I clean the
workroom and turn on the answer phone because I can’t talk to people when I’ve got an idea. Then I start to work. I usually have a rest every two or three hours, but I don’t leave the workroom. I do something different to help me relax. Sometimes I do some exercise and, at other time, I listen to music. I usually stop working at about nine o’clock in the evening. I think about my work
most of the time, even when I’m out. I’m interested in what’s around me and I like looking for new ideas and new problems to solve.
