AWhen I was young, my father used to grow carnations(康乃罄)—a kind of flower that was red, pink or white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from work, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnation from their stems(枝干) one by one and arranged them on the ground. She believed that dad would be very pleased to see them that way.When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely speechless. However, my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation(欣赏). When dad arrived, he went as usual straight to watch the flowers. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors‟ children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what happened, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”Dad‟s face changed into a smile and then he said, “Do I have better flowers than my lovely daughter?” My younger sister smiled and hugged(拥抱) dad strongly.56.

The passage is most probably taken out of __________.A. a novelB. a diaryC. a newspaperD. a literary workCTo be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasant voice which is fully under your control(控制); and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn‟t sit still before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.There are very important differences between the teacher‟s work and the actor‟s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience take an active part in his play: they ask and a nswer questions, they obey orders, and if they don‟t understand anything, they say no. The teacher can‟t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can‟t keep strictly to what another has written.DKieron Williamson, a seven-year-old British boy, is being recognized as an art genius(天才) after selling 16 paintings for 18, 000 pounds in just 14 minutes. This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and drawn comparisons(相比，对比) to Pablo Picasso, a child prodigy(神童) who became one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century.It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall on the southwest English coast when Kieron was five. Inspired by the beautiful view, he asked his parents for his first sketch-pad (速写纸). From that moment on, he became deeply interested. While supportive, Kieron‟s parents are careful not to push their son. He only paints when and what he wants.He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his works have been flooding in. His father said a sale of Kieron‟s works held in November even drew a buyer from Japan. “We had people driving down that night, there were people on the door waiting to come in the morning who had been standing outside, the phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o‟clock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone, ” he said.All this talent, money and high praise could so easily go t o a young boy‟s head, but Kieron said his friends keep him grounded. “Some of them want to be as good as me and some of them think. . . Umn, …you are not too special‟.” he said.Kieron‟s favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent so me of his earnings buying a work by his hero. The rest is being invested(投资) by his parents until he reaches 25. Kieron‟s parents and his younger sister Billi-Jo don‟t see him as anything but a average seven-year-old boy who likes to tear around the house and who‟s mad about football. But for now, with so much still to learn, t here‟s only one thing he wants to be when he grows up. He said, “I think I‟ll be an artist.”67.
