One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice. ‎ ‎ About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since ‎ you're so good at it." John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try ‎ it for that reason." ‎ ‎ From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!‎ ‎25. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John's ________‎ A. PE marks B. self-confidence C. interest in sports D. state of health ‎26. Why did John take part in the track team? ‎ A. He had been an excellent runner. ‎ B. He was encouraged by his teacher. ‎ C. He liked running more than tennis. ‎ D. He had no tennis coach to train him.‎ ‎27. The purpose of this passage is probably _____.‎ A. to build a close teacher-student relationship ‎ B. to introduce a new way of sports training ‎ C. to explain the value of sports and games ‎ D. to show the importance of encouragement ‎28. The passage is mainly written for _____.‎ A. teachers B. parents C. students D. players C ‎ "How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi". ‎ ‎ Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?" the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong…" But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone. ‎ ‎ People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person. ‎ ‎ Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.‎ ‎29. When a person in the United States asks "How are you?, he or she wants to hear " _______".‎ A. How are you? B. Hello. C. I don't know. D. Fine.‎ ‎30. When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say "_______".‎ A. You're wrong. I disagree. B. I'm not sure. ‎ C. I'm sure I disagree. D. No, I disagree.‎ ‎31. When a person says "I have to go now" "Someone's at the door", the person may be _______.‎ A. giving an excuse B. hurting someone's feeling ‎ C. ill in bed D. asking you a question ‎32. What does the rule of the game of language probably mean?‎ A. Be polite. B. Don't disagree with people. ‎ C.Always say what you mean. ‎ D. Never say exactly what you are thinking.‎ ‎ D ‎ ‎ When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University.

She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down".‎ She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts.

Riley once said, “The American family is the rock on which a solid education can be built. I have seen examples all over this nation where two-parent families, single parents, stepparents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles are providing strong families support for their children to learn. If families teach the love of learning, it can make all the difference in the world to their children. 36 ”‎ Read together ‎ 37 Show your kids how much you value reading by keeping good books, magazines, and newspapers in the house.

Why did a character act that way? What will he or she do next?‎ Look for other ways to teach children the magic of language, words, and stories. 38 Point out words to children wherever you go—to the grocery, to the pharmacy, to the gas station.
