If it was not because of the few medical instruments around, it didnt really look like a _31_ room. While looking at the carefully chosen wallpaper, I remembered back to that day, not so long before, when this adventure first began.It was a cold October day. While leaving the school, my mother mentioned that she had gone to the doctor that day. What for? I asked, becoming nervous so I _32_ through all the problems in my mind. I wondered what problems my mother could possibly have.Well She stopped and my worry _33_ . Im pregnant.Youre what?I am having a baby.I was speechless. I couldnt believe this happened to my parents when I was already in junior high school. It hit me that I would have to _34_ my mother, the mother who had been all my own for 14 years! Id never wanted my mother to have another child after she had me. This was a selfish feeling, but when it came to my mom, I was unwilling to share even the smallest bit of her.However, when I saw the joy in my parents eyes, I could not help but feel excited and my joy showed on the outside. On the inside, though, I was trying to deal with my fear and anger.My parents involved me in all the _35_ , form decorating the nursery to picking out names and deciding that I could be present for the babys birth. Though pregnancy brought excitement, it was _36_ to hear people keep talking about the baby. I feared that I would be pushed back when the baby came. Sometimes when I was alone, the _37_ was overcome（超越）by all the fear and anger for what this child would take from me.Sitting in the delivery room that June 17, knowing the baby would soon be here, I began to feel all my insecurities（不安全）surface. What was my life going to be like? Would it be one endless baby-sitting job? What would I have to give up? Most importantly, would I lose my mother? The time to think and worry was rapidly melting away（消散）. The baby was coming.It was the most unbelievable experience of my life, being in the delivery room that day, for birth is truly a miracle（奇跡）, full of happiness and expectation. When the doctor said that it was a girl, I cried. I had a baby sister, Emma.All my fears and insecurities have passed now. I cannot explain how especial it is to have a _38_ person who wakes up with me and wave her little hand good-bye to me as I leave for school.Now I realize there is plenty of love in my home for Emma. My fear and anger had been eased with the realization that she took away _39_ . Instead, she brought so much to my life. I never thought I could love a baby this much, and I would not _40_ the joy I get from being her big sister.31. A. museum B. hotel C. school D. hospital32. A. looked B. ran C. read D. got33.

He just finished his university study and needed to get a job fast. He was almost broke（身無分文的）. He decided that he would start a new project called Living the Map. He wanted to get 50 jobs in 50 states in only 50 weeks.Daniels idea may sound crazy, but it is really clever. Daniel said that one of his goals was to get as much job experience as possible.

So, he tried to get jobs that were related to each states identity（ 特點(diǎn)） .

In Vermont he made maple syrup, and in Maryland he was a crab chef.Daniel not only had fun trying all kinds of interesting jobs, but he also made 60,000 dollars and became famous. He plans to publish a book about what he learned from his project. In the beginning, Daniel wanted to get as much job experience as possible, but instead became famous - or was he hoping to become famous from the beginning? You decide.

Then be careful, you are one of them who have bad relationship with failure. And this is the only reason why people often keep themselves away from their success. The power of failure is that it helps us to learn fro our mistakes and missteps and we must consider a failure as an opportunity to grow rather than giving up.Lets discover the reasons why successful people believe that opportunity lies in every failure.Disappointment or failure shows that you are tryingThe best way to gauge（衡量）your progress at something is to see how many times you failed. In case you havent failed yet, chances are that you havent tried hard yet.Look at all successful men and women throughout our history, they all had one thing in common. Thats to say they failed not once but several times before they achieved success. Lets take an example of Thomas Edison: he failed a lot of times to find right filament（燈絲）for his light bulb. Henry Ford had a stronger relationship with failure, which inspired him to quote this unforgettable saying “failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.”Achievement lies in looking at failure as an opportunityJust like every successful person had one thing in common, similarly all unsuccessful persons throughout our history had one thing in common - their inability to use failure as an opportunity and a tool. If you feel your one failure is your ultimate （終極的）failure, and that feeling of sinking down is known as an ultimate failure, you are pushing yourself away from your expected success. Achievement is all about finding out what mistakes you made, what is the main cause of that failure, and how you are going to make up for it.Success requires willpower, passion, hard work, intelligence, determination, but all of the above, success requires failure. Use your failure as an opportunity to learn, to become wiser and to reconsider your relationship with failure, the true key to success.49. According to the writer, why do people keep themselves away from their success?A. Because they dont set long-term goals.B. Because they havent got enough time.C. Because they cant deal with failure properly.D. Because they are disappointed in themselves.50. Why does the writer take the example of Thomas Edison?A. To explain the reasons for failure.B. To prove the importance of failure.C. To take pride in Thomas Edison.D. To introduce the process of making a light bulb.51. What can you learn from the passage?A. Failure can build up your confidence. B. Successful people seldom failed.C. Failure is more important than success. D. Successful people use failure as a tool.DMichael Morpurgo is one of Britains best loved story makers whose book War Horse is taught in school. He made a speech at Book Trust Annual Lecture. When talking about tests, he said that too much testing in schools was taking the joy out of reading for children because it destroyed their confidence and resulted in feelings of shame and disappointment.Mr. Morpurgo said testing was supposed to encourage all children, whether they passed or not, but his was not the case. When you fail, it brings a sense of worthlessness. It separates you from those who have passed, rocks confidence, and destroys hopes and dreams. For children who pass, they can have the opportunity to receive the great cultural and material benefits of our society through developing an enjoyment of reading.But for children who fail, they are made to feel that the world of books, stories and ideas is not for them, and they are not clever enough to join that world. It is not the world they belong to, and it is shut off from them forever.As the president of Book Trust, Mr. Morpurgo also criticized schools for taking the wonder of stories and playfulness of language. Schools have been teaching reading by turning stories into a series of comprehension and grammar tests, because they insist that measurable（可量化的） outcomes and results are the be-all and end-all of the education process. But blaming （責(zé)備）governments or schools is passing the buck - it is a society as a whole that is responsible for whether its children succeed or fail in education, and everyone should make an effort to ensure that reading itself is a pleasure experience for all children.Mr. Morpurgo, who was a primary teacher before becoming a writer, wants to see a “story time” introduces in every primary school, when stories are read aloud, at the end of each day. His Book Trust lecture called on schools and the governmemt to keep libriries open, for parents to read to their children every night, etc. “Story time” would be a special time with no testing or teaching. “Let the children go home dreaming of the story, reliving it, wonder All the rest will come later. Once the seed is sown, the fore is lit, children will want to learn. So give them the love of story first; the rest will follow.”Diana Gerald, the co-worker of Book Trust, said, “Reading isnt a tick-list of books. That need to have been read;nor is it just a skill to be learned then put aside. The ability of reading and writing can, and should be tested; reading for pleasure needs to be valued and seen more like exercise-do it as regularly as you can, make it fun and red together whenever possible for maximum benefits.”52. What does the expression “passing the buck” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Valuable. B. Irresponsible.C. Unnecessary. D. Harmful.53. According to the passage, what should children do at their “story time”?A. Enjoy reading. B. Prepare for tests.C. Practise writing stories. D. Tick their book lists.54. Which of the following is Mr. Morpurgos suggestion?A. Test should be canceled in schools.B. Children should join the Book Trust.C. Reading for pleasure should be encouraged.D. The government should build more libraries.55. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Mr. Morpurgo hopes to become a primary teacher.B. Children who are tested cant get the joy from reading.C. Mr. Morpurgo wants his book War Horse to be read often in schools.D. Chilrdren who fail in tests probably wont explore the wonder of stories.七、閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的五個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。每個(gè)選項(xiàng)只能用一次。 （共10分，每小題2分）Ramen noodles are yellow noodles that originally (源自于) came from China.
