Some years later, my teacher died. I was very sad because I lost such a good teacher. She was a very warm and gentle person. It hurts me to think she may have been 47 that I never returned. I h aven’t taken lessons since then but to be honest, I 48 to. Sitting at the piano, I couldn’t help recalling many 49 -- times of my practising at home and playing before my teacher and one time my teacher50 me after I played entire pieces of music wrong in front of her colleagues. I was so 51 that I could hardly say anything. But her 52 helped ease my shame. These memories, 53 , good or bad, never caused my 54 for playing the piano again.This thought then led me to think that 55 is like music, and that we all try to play different 56 in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is 57 when we play it well, but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own 58 style of music. No matter what style our music is, it is 59that we sing the songs of joy, quietness and love. Though I may never make it back to piano lessons, it doesn’t60 that I’ve stopped making music.41.

Unlike high school where braces are often as common as ponytails, my crooked teeth (歪牙) had been embarrassing me when I had to wear braces (牙箍) at college. At first, my 1 made me feel self-conscious and 2 to smile. The money I had to 3 each month made me less willing to spend money on other things, like nice dinners or a new pair of jeans. And because I went to 4 out of state, I had to find the time to drive several hundred miles back home every time I needed a(n) 5 in hospital, which was usually every 6 to 8 weeks.I got my braces off for the 6 time at the beginning of my last semester of college. I was 7 with the results, although I thought I liked my smile better after the first time I had got them off. Through this experience, I learned that you can 8 find something about your appearance that you don't like. If you can 9 it, cool. If not, it's not the end of- the world. Once I got over the fact that my 10 was going to be a little rough for a while, I was able to go to parties and have fun.I've come to that realization, so I would not like to go through this experience again. That's why my retainer(牙架) 11 in my mouth unless I'm cleaning it or eating. If I had 12 my dentist's instructions the first time around, I could have saved myself a lot of time and money and 13 some pain and inconvenience.In a few more weeks, I'll 14 have to wear my retainer at night. A few months after that, I'll probably be told that I can stop wearing it 15 . I hope my teeth will be healthy and I will never feel embarrassed again.1. A. teeth B. shoesC. bracesD. glasses2.

And it seems that how to draw a line between too little and too much praise has become a high-pressure 1 for parents.Self-esteem(自尊)serves as a kind of tool to measure how much children feel valued and accepted by 2 . This sensitivity to others’ 3 develops because of humans’ need for social acceptance, which is considered to be 4 to survival. As early as age 8, children’s self-esteem tends to rise and fall in response to feedbacks about 5 peers see them as likable or attractive. 6 , it can also be beneficial for kids to feel bad about themselves occasionally, if they behave in selfish, mean or hurtful ways that might 7 their ability to maintain relationships or hold a job in the future.In the past, many parents and educators believed that high self-esteem 8 happiness and success, and kids could gain self-esteem simply by getting 9 and awards from their parents, teachers and people around. But recently researchers have found self-esteem doesn’t 10 these desired results. Instead, if parents praise their kids 11 , their self-esteem becomes focused on being very smart, being the best and being perfect. Building too much self-esteem of the children cannot go as planned, making them feel 12 later on when they hit setbacks(挫折).According to some experts, it can actually be good for kids to have 13 self-esteem, at least once in a while. And praise can be 14 if it disregards the world outside the home. Children who have a 15 understanding of how they are seen by others tend to get recovered more readily 16 disappointment, depression or the like. The best path is a 17 road, helping children develop a positive but 18 view of themselves in relation to others by praising them for the 19 they invest and behavior they are able to sustain, like “It’s 20 that you’re working so hard on your homework.”1.A.balancing B.crashing C.forcing D.embarrassing2.A.themselves B.parents C.others D.teachers3.A.views B.envies C.favors D.blames4.A.irrelevant B.similar C.important D.sensitive5.A.when B.whether C.how D.where6.A.Indeed B.Otherwise C.Therefore D.However7.A.improve B.damage C.change D.develop8.A.promised B.delayed C.purchased D.ruined9.A.support B.help C.challenge D.praise10.A.settle down B.work out C.give away D.bring about11.A.rarely B.carefully C.constantly D.casually12.A.worse B.stronger C.better D.madder13.A.high B.much C.low D.little14.A.powerful B.harmful C.grateful D.stressful15.A.practical B.limited C.basic D.perfect16.A.with B.to C.about D.from17.A.straight B.smooth C.middle D.rough18.A.general B.realistic C.different D.negative19.A.talent B.time C.money D.effort20.A.necessary B.awesome C.worthless D.awfulⅣ.阅读理解A group called Story Pirates goes into schools and performs shows for children. But these shows are based on stories written by the children themselves. The grown-ups are there to help them become better writers. The Story Pirates are active in more than 200 schools across the United States. Their method is designed to help children learn about the purpose and structure of writing.Actors and teachers help students write stories. The children feel the pride of ownership in their work and may get to see their stories performed. About 200 actors and teachers are members of the Story Pirates. It involves two visits to a school. On the first visit, the teachers and actors hold a writing workshop(研讨会) at a student gathering. They help students express their ideas.The Story Pirates is not just a creativity and self-confidence-building program. It is a writing program. And they focus on elements(要素) of structure and style as broad as conflicts(冲突) and creative conflict resolution, and as detailed as grammar.After about a month, the Story Pirates return to the school. This time, they perform the stories they have chosen and prepared for the stage. They sing, dance, and tell jokes — whatever they can do to make the experience fun.Ann Ledo is the arts director for a school, where most of the students are black and poor. She says, “The work of the actors is an important part of the children’s education. As a school that has a focus on the arts, we bring the Story Pirates in to further our students’ experience. ” Some educators may think of the importance currently placed on testing in schools, and wonder how they can measure the effects of a program like this. But Ann Ledo praises the results. She says, “It really is a magical moment when the kids see their stories come to life.”1.What is the purpose of the Story Pirates? ________A.To get inspiration from school children.B.To help the grown-ups to create more stories.C.To help school children to improve their writing skills.D.To encourage school children to be writers when they grow up.2.From Paragraph 2we can learn that ________.A.the teachers and actors pay several visits to each schoolB.the children can build confidence during the process of the activityC.a writing workshop will be held after the performanceD.the children are asked to perform the stories3.What happens at the writing workshop? ________A.The teachers write the stories.B.The actors give acting classes.C.The students are chosen for the performance.D.The ideas of stories are expressed by the students.4.The forms of the performance include the following EXCEPT ________.
