I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And __31__ otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always ___32__ to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the __33__ to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “__34__ for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the __35__ of it! When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much __36__ what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get__37__ and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the __40__ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive __41__ in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the __42__ —friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “__43__”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, __44__ raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent __45__ I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

Being connected to the Internet has become a necessary part of modern life. Some people actually need it as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it.

To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like this in just about 15 years makes one wonder –just what will the future bring?

It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday.

The Internet will have a revolutionary（突破性的）effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy and download music and movies from the Internet but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD stores to rent the latest movies. However, it’s quite possible that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will become completely virtual although hopefully people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways.

With the Internet we need only relax in the rocking chair. The Internet, however, has problems to be solved.

Next Thursday, November 27th（the fourth Thursday in November）, Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving. They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together.

Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people. From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100-year-old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgiving.

But he says it was different when he was a child. Mr. Rosa was just three when his family came to America. “When we were small c hildren, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually didn’t pay too much attention to it.”But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty. “They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here.”

And the family had little money. There were six children. Mr. Rosa’s father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania. The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the har d time of the 1930’s. But Mr. Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.

This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great-grandchildren.

On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California. We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year; her first answer is “The election.” She said she is also deeply grateful for her very large family. Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter. She has five younger brothers and sisters. She also has eight stepbrothers and stepsisters. Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.

54. At Mr. Ro sa’s childhood, Thanksgiving was not a big holiday for the following

reasons ECEPT ________.

A. the family couldn’t afford expensive dinners

B. the family couldn’t communicate well with the local people

C. the family didn’t rec ognize it as an important holiday

D. during the 1930’s no one could afford expensive dinners

55. From Ms Dahlstrom’s words, we can infer that ________.

A. she is content with both her family, relatives and the society

B. she is thankful for her effort in the election and her family

C. she has always been celebrating Thanksgiving this way

D. her daughter has a large family with stepbrothers and stepsisters

56. As a whole, Thanksgiving in America is________.

A. a happy gathering with family members, relatives and friends

B. a grand family dinner party as well as a tourist holiday

C. a great social gathering of entertainment and achievement

D. a large gathering of people of different generations

57. Who probably wrote the passage?

A. A close friend of Mr. Rosa.

B. A journalist for a radio or TV station.

C. A university student who majors in history.

D. An actress who wants to experience real life.

第二节：阅读下列材料，然后从所给的五个选项（A、B、C、D和E）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项是多余选项。

Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job’s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult’s need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not, Here Life Comes, which parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unreadiness.”

58. _________You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Regularly review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings, like difficulty in communicating well or cooperating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.

Set a Good Example for Your ids

ids need a range of real role models. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying “I have no idea.” They can change their minds 200 times, but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.

59. _______Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. ids need plenty of practice developing effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities(优先).

60. _________Playing video games encourages immediate content（满足）. And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. At the same time, listening through earphones to the songs for a long time encourages kids to stay inside instead of participating in other outdoor activities. All these activities can prevent the growth of children’s communication and thinking skil ls and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained (持续的) concentration they will need for most jobs.

61. _________They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice

doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.

What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. Most of all, these new adults must feel that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them.
