The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who decided that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this ______ (36) girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

I could hear everyone whispering “Who in our school could draw ______

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket —anything with a round ball, I was useless.” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, He ran his first

marathon.

The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of adventure in Scotland. And he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits there. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first

long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite (冻疮), ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.

Saunders has once become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.

b. He skied alone in the North Pole.

When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,” you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this in the 21st century and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.

Stage schools often act as agencies (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.

A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn’t settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day.

Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year, those over 13 to 80 days.

The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don’t make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.

50. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they’re talking to ______.

A. attend a stage school

B. are going to the theatre

C. have got some work to do

D. love singing and dancing

51. In the writer’s opinion, a good stage school should ______.

A. produce star performers

B. help pupils improve their study skills

C. train pupils in language and performing arts

D. provide a general education and stage training

52. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?

A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.

B. He favors an early start in the training of performing arts.

C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.

D He doubts the standard of ordinary education that have reached.

C

Attitude is an internal (内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; other believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.

The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas —all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired (获得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.

Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice, but the internal state which remains

unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.

Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them, and frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. While there are some differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification (修正) of attitudes.

53. According to the passage, attitudes ______.

A. come from different situations in one’s life

B. are largely affected by one’s behavior

C. remain unchanged in one’s daily life

D. could be chosen according to one’s will

54. The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show ______.

A. people often make mistakes when they are not noticed

B. people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds

C. particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action

D. an individual may change his or her attitude fairy easily

55. Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?

A. Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.

B. Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.

C. copying others behavior is not a good idea.

D. Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.

56. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Differences of Attitudes

B. Nature of Attitude

C. Choices of Attitudes

D. Modification of Attitude

When I was young, I was kind of shy. Fortunately, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of success, but it doesn’t have to hold you back. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it.

Sahra is living and working in a town about 30 minutes’walk from where Helen lives. They work on reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.
