When Nancy Flexer opened the door to her classroom near the end of her final school year, all 41 years of her career as a beloved first-grade teacher came to life right in front of her.
Cole Elementary School in Tennessee surprised Flexer with a memorable and emotional retirement party featuring former students of all ages, dating back to the first class she taught in the 1973-1974 school year. A video of the event shows an overwhelmed Flexer being moved to tears as she hears former students who are now adults tell her how much she affected their lives.
“I’m one of the luckiest people in this world,” Flexer said. “I remember I opened the door to the classroom thinking no one was in there, and it was wall-to-wall people and banners and everything. It was the coolest thing that could have ever happened in my life. How many times do we really realize the lives we’ve touched, the manner in which we’ve touched them, and that these are memories that stay with them for life?
Despite being young when they were taught by Flexer, students easily recalled the heartwarming notes she wrote them on report cards, the ways she helped them overcome shyness and awkwardness, and how she inspired them to future academic success to earn scholarships and advanced degrees.
Even though Flexer hadn’t seen some of the former students for decades, she instantly
remembered the names of every single one there.
A scrapbook(剪贴簿) of her career was presented to her as one student after another recalled the effect Flexer had on his or her life.
“I’ve had many opportunities to move to a school closer to my home, but I said ‘Cole gave me so much in my life that when I retire, I will retire from Cole school and give back what’s been given to me, ’” Flexer said. “My career could have taken me nowhere that would have made me happier. I think of it as a blessing.”

On Tuesday, scientists announced that they have discovered the bones of four settlers in Jamestown, Virginia. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what became the United States. The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010 and is considered as America’s first Protestant church.
The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions. The men, Rev. Robert Hunt, Capt. Gabriel Archer, Sir Ferdinando Wainman, and Capt. William West, all played a role in the Jamestown settlement. After being lost to history for more than 400 years, the discovery of their remains provides new clues about their life and the importance of religion in the 1600s.
“This is a very important discovery,” Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation President James Horn said in a statement. “These men were among the first founders of English America.”
About 100 people settled along the James River in what would become the first English settlement in 1607. During that time, settlers in Jamestown were faced with famine and disease. The colony was nearly wiped out due to conflict with Native Americans in the area and with other English settlers.
“They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement － when Jamestown almost ended in failure,” Horn said. “The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives.”
The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation found the remains in November of 2013.
Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the exact gravesites of the men. The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery. They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.
Findings from the burials will go on display within weeks at Historic Jamestowne. The site also plans to honor the men and will keep their bones in a safe place for future study.
28. The bones found in a Jamestown church ___________.
A. were first discovered in 2010
B. have been buried for over four centuries
C. have proved to be a family of four
D. are complete and easy to recognize
29. The underlined phrase “wiped out” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. supported fully B. developed rapidly
C. destroyed completely D. protected successfully
30. What can we learn from paragraph 6?
A. How scientists keep the bones in good shape.
B. Why the four leaders were buried in Jamestown.
C. Why the four leaders chose to settle in Jamestown.
D. How scientists identified the four leaders.
31. This text is most probably __________.
A. a history paper B. a research paper
C. a newspaper report D. a warning message
D
One October morning, I got off the all-night train in Mandalay, a city in Myanmar. A rough man came up and offered to show me around. The price he asked was less than I would pay for a bar of chocolate at home. So I climbed into his trishaw(三轮车).
As he was showing me around, he told me how he had come to the city from his village. He’d earned a degree in mathematics. His dream was to be a teacher. But of course, life is hard here, and so for now, this was the only way he could make a living. Many nights, he told me, he actually slept in his trishaw so he could catch the first visitors off the all-night train.
And very soon, we found that in certain ways, we had so much in common － we were both in our 20s, we were both fascinated by foreign cultures － that he invited me home.
So we turned off the wide, crowded streets, and came to rough, wild alleyways(小巷). I really lost my sense of where I was, and realized that I could easily get cheated or something even worse.
Finally, he stopped and led me into a hut. And then he reached under his bed. Something in me froze. I waited to see what he would pull out. And finally he took out a box. Inside it was every single letter he had ever received from visitors from abroad.
So when we said goodbye that night, I realized he had also shown me the secret point of travel, which is to go inwardly(向内心) as well as outwardly to places you would never go otherwise, to go into uncertainty, even fear.
At home, it’s dangerously easy to think we’re on top of things. Out in the world, you are reminded every moment that you’re not, and you can’t get to the bottom of things, either.
32. What do we know about the trishaw puller?
A. He used to be a teacher. B. He works very hard.
C. He is a foreigner in Myanmar. D. He received little education.
33. Why did the author freeze in front of the bed?
A. He was feeling very cold.
B. He didn’t expect to see the letters.
C. He was shocked by the room’s bad condition.
D. He thought the young man was going to hurt him.
34. What is the author’s opinion on travel?
A. Fear nothing. B. Follow your heart.
B. Enjoy the beauty of life. D. Be prepared for the unexpected.
35. What does the phrase “get to the bottom of things” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Solve the problems. B. Find out the truth.
C. Get to know the place really. D. Learn about the bottom of society.

What’s the easiest way to stay warm in the super cold? 36 . At least that’s what Christmas Father told me.
During Christmas, Dennis and I went to Finland. We brought back some tips for keeping warm in a cold temperature.
1. Three layers(层) work wonders.
Start with the base layer, which sits right on your skin: choose something that can absorb sweat. 37 . A sweater is a good choice. The most important layer is the outer clothes, which should be waterproof(防水的) and windproof.
2. 38 .
You lose heat from every millimeter of uncovered skin, which was the biggest lesson I learned on this trip. My whole body was well covered. But I missed one spot: my face. So it often felt like the wind was going to blow my nose off.
3. Exercise, don’t just stand still.
When it’s cold, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing, but be smart. 39 , and you will feel the difference. When we first got to Finland, we were freezing. But after a couple of minutes jumping around, we felt less cold.
4. If you have a heater…
You may want to turn it all the way up, but it’s best to keep it at between 18 and 20 degrees. 40 , but not create a huge difference between inside and outside.
A. Grow a crazy beard
B. The key is what your layer is
C. Cover every bit of your skin
D. That will keep you comfortable
E. Take a walk, faster than your normal speed
F. Don’t forget to keep your hands and feet warm, too
G. The middle layer keeps your body heat from getting away

Good morning, everyone!
It’s a great honor for me to talk about some changes I’ve witnessed in the process of creating a civilized city. What has impressed me most is the traffic. We often saw pedestrians jump the red light. But now many volunteers stand at the crossroads, reminding the pedestrians to obey the traffic regulations. Of course, as educated citizens, we can do more to help our city to be more civilized, such as arousing the public’s traffic awareness and helping more people to become more self-disciplined.
Just as the saying goes, “Individuals together can make a difference.” I believe our city will become more civilized and harmonious through our joint efforts. So I’m here to appeal to everyone to do your bit for our city. Only in this way will our city take on a new look and become a better place to live in.
Thank you for listening!

M：Mr. Cheng’s briefing seems to go on forever. 1 was hardly able to stay awake.
W：How could you sleep through that? I think it was very important for the work we are going to
carry out.
M：Sorry! I promise I'll listen carefully.
(Text 3)
W：What do you plan to do on your vacation?
M：I'm just going to be lazy at home. 1 will probably do some gardening, watch TV and work on
my stamp collection. However, I once volunteered to protect our plants in the west.
(Text 4)
M：You can sit in my place if you like a window seat.
W：Oh, it’s very kind of you, but mine is right over a wing. I would be able to see anything.
Thanks anyway.
(Text 5)
M：What’s the matter with you, Mary? You looked tired.
W：I didn’t sleep well last night.
M：Maybe a stomachache or headache?
W：Neither. The noise almost drove me mad.
(Text 6)
M：I’d like to make an appointment with the doctor, please.
W：OK. How about the day after tomorrow on Wednesday at 4:00 pm?
M：Do you happen to have an opening in the morning?
W：Um…How about tomorrow at 8:00 am or Thursday at 8:15 am?

M: No, I've got a lot of time to kill.
W: Well, then. Won't you come over to dinner and have a game of Mahjong afterwards?
M: With pleasure.
W: You were not so eager about Mahjong before.
M: That's because I didn't know the fun of playing it then. Why is Mahjong such a popular game,
do you know?
W: I've got no idea. I only know that foreigners are beginning to take an interest in it, besides their
old card games.
M: That's right. Some of them are already experts.
W: Indeed they are. But the trouble about Mahjong is once you're interested in it, you can't shed it
off.
M: Yes. Once I went crazy over other hobbies such as stamp collecting and reading, but I find
them very boring now.
W: I'm sure your former hobbies are more beneficial.

W: The bell's ringing. That must be our partners.

M. What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well?
W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the shop again.
M: Really? What's wrong this time?
W: I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes, I think.
M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all the American cars
like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?
W: He said he would call me later today about the cost.
M: Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, some ill mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they
might try to overcharge that person.
W: Maybe so. But I trust this man. He has done some work for me in the past and his prices
seemed to be fair.
M.. Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, do you need a
ride home after class today?
(Text 10)
It was 2:05 in the afternoon. When I entered the classroom, I was surprised to see a video camera. Our class teacher was operating the camera, and my classmates were all talking among themselves slowly. Most of us had never been in front of a video camera before, so we were quite nervous. As for myself, I had once faced one at home, my uncle was shooting when we were celebrating my sister's birthday. But this was completely different. We had to talk about our articles as if we were reading news on TV. The funny thing was that every time I tried to face the camera and talk about my article, I forgot the article and couldn't resist looking clown at it. It was a completely different experience for me, thanks to our class teacher.
