I was then in 9th grade, when my mathematics teacher asked me to take a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the teaching. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.After my post graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. In fact, I feel it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a “Lecturer”, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that taking lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology Lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before going to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam”.To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences and new queries(疑问). I loved to explore their young minds, read their inquisitive faces when a particular topic seemed tough. It was very challenging to motivate them to take part in the classroom, think critically, question and also respect others’ point of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was very exciting to assure them that they really can. That is the reason, I love to teach.24.

About six states have already banned smoking in cars with kids. And Washington may be next.House Bill 2086 is trying to ban anyone from lighting a cigarette, a cigar or pipe while parking or driving if there is someone under 18 in the vehicle.“Harmful chemicals that are coming out of someone smoking in a car are the same as a firefighter fighting a forest fire for four to eight hours,” said state Representative Steve Bergquist.Supporters of the bill say they want to protect the quarter-million Washington kids who live with smokers. “Research shows that kids of smokers are twice as likely to become smokers themselves. I am one of those children,”said Meagan Darrow, director of the Lacey-based TOGETHER, a positive youth development advocacy group. “We also know it’s an asthma（哮喘）trigger; 10 percent of our kids in our state have asthma.”However, some lawmakers say the smoking ban would overburden law enforcement（执行）.“I don’t know how we can expect them to stop everyone who is smoking a cigarette to see if there is a child in the car,” State Representative Norm Johnson, R-Yakima, said.The fine would be $125 for the first offense, and additional violations could be double. It would not show up on a driver’s re cord or be reported to an insurance company but some say the government is still going too far.If it is passed, that means a police officer could simply pull someone over if they see someone smoking and they think a minor is in the car.“When I see someo ne smoking with a kid in the car, I feel bad for the kids. But, on the other hand, it’s one of those issues,…”Thurston County resident Debra Defreyn said. “That’s like coming to my house to tell me I can’t do something in my house.”28.House Bill 2086 is intended to _____.A. ban smoking in public placesB. reduce the number of young smokersC. prevent people from smoking when drivingD. protect children from drivers smoking in cars29.What can we learn from Meagan Darrow’s words?A. His parents are probably smokers.B. He is strongly against House Bill 2086.C. He has successfully given up smoking.D. He suffers from asthma caused by smoking.30.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to _____.A. lawmakersB. police officersC. state representativesD. youth development organizations31. Debra Defreyn thought House Bill 2086 _____.A. is very bad for childrenB. is a safety measure for driversC. will be passed in the near futureD. violate people’s freedom in a wayDStrange fingertipsWe all know well the prune-like fingers we get when we are in the bath. Most people think it’s caused by water making the skin in our fingers bigger. In fact it could be an evolutionary (进化的)feature caused by a reaction in our body’s central nervous system. Rat her than the skin getting bigger, fingertips actually shrink when they wrinkle(起皱纹), because the blood vessels(血管) inside them contract. The lines could have evolved in our ancestors as they collected food from wet vegetation or streams.Dr Tom Smulders wanted to test the theory suggested by Mark Changizi in 2011, which said that wrinkled fingers were an evolutionary adaptation. Like treads on tyres, Changizi said that wrinkles served the function of removing water from between the fingers and objects, making it easier to pick things up.Perfect student projectSmulders saw that it should be easy to prove that wrinkled fingers were better at gripping in wet conditions and it was an ideal student project. He explains, “We had the idea of timing how long it takes to move marbles from one container to another, between thumb and index finger. The people in the experiment did that underwater or not underwater, with wrinkled fingers or not wrinkled fingers – so one person did all four conditions.”They found that people are in fact better at moving objects from underwater with wrinkled fingers than with normal fingers.Adaptation to environmentWhether that means that wrinkled fingers are an adaptation is open to question; it could be a side effect of something that evolved for a different reason. The research suggests that there may be a loss of sensitivity in our hands, which explains why our fingers return to their normal state when not under water.32. According to the first part, the fingertips wrinkled _____.A. only when you were in the bathB. when the water made the skin biggerC. since you picked up things from waterD. since our ancestors adapted the environment33. That wrinkled fingers were an evolutionary adaptation is tested by ______.A. Mark ChangiziB. Tom SmuldersC. studentsD. teachers34. What is the result of the test about moving objects from underwater?A. People with wrinkled fingers are better than with normal fingers.B. People with normal fingers are better than with wrinkled fingers.C. People with normal fingers are the same as with wrinkled fingers.D. People with wrinkled fingers are no better than with normal fingers.35. Which one is the best title of this passage?A. Our AncestorsB. The Science of FingersC. Tom SmuldersD.
