21、   It is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside. Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children’s books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.

Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.

Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It’s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.

“Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can’t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”

Yohannes first worked in the children’s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children’s literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children’s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”

He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.

“What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.

“The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly.

【1】How do the children feel when they see the donkey mobile Library ______.

A．Curious.

B．Surprised.

C．Interested.

D．Excited.

【2】We can conclude from the passage that ______.

A．Ethiopian children have no idea about their future.

B．Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiences.

C．donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and tools.

D．most books in the donkey mobile library were brought in America.

【3】Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

A．A news report.

B．a book review.

C．A historical story.

D．An advertisement.

22、Three Signs of True Confidence

Many people mistakenly believe that confident people are somehow special and unique. The truth about confidence is that it's an acquired skill. 【1】Even fewer remain confident through the painful process of adolescence and adulthood. Here is what true confidence looks like:

They are quietly strong and firm【2】They know their self-worth, and they've also learned humility(谦逊).Their achievements are part of who they are, but they're not all that they are. Often they experience diversity in their life. They learn that material success comes and goes, but the steady strength that fuels their core can never be taken away from them.

They are sympathetic and happy to see others succeed. 【3】They never feel threatened by another person's beauty, wealth, talent or success. They don't deny others 'opportunities and support. You will often see a confident person encourage others. They know that another person's success does not diminish(减少)their own.

They are independent from outside approval. Confident people are not afraid of criticism, because their realistic feeling of self-worth acts as an acid test that allows them to differentiate between helpful criticism and personal attacks. They like to learn from the former, and dismiss the latter. They know that they can't please everyone, and they don't waste their time trying. 【4】 The main guiding force in their lives is their own internal compass.

【5】It has to be learned and earned, often through years of questioning and mistakes. It requires open-mindedness, a strong sense of personal responsibility, and much emotional maturity. But it is rarely easy to obtain but it is worth the effort.

A.Very few people are born with it.

B.Gaining true confidence isn't easy.

C.Confident people never seek outside approval.

D.Many people pretend to have confidence, which is wrong.

E.Today, I'm inviting you to open yourself up to true confidence.

F.Confident people don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone.

G.They never tease or put down others to make themselves feel better

23、   Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This, however, has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach?

Of course there will always be learning by osmosis (耳濡目染) in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child’s moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue.

I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed (使融入) itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It’s also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.

Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when a student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, “that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!” we draw out from them the required virtue: “When you’re walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?”

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Winter sports can help you burn calories, increase your cardiovascular fitness, and strengthen muscles. Being outdoors and getting exercise are great for your mental health. Exercise boosts mood, and sunlight seems to help beat back the winter blues. So slap on some sunblock and go.

Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports. If you like to walk, keep walking-on snowshoes. If you want to try an endurance sport, go for cross-country skiing. And snowboarding is just plain fun. Runners can also train during the winter, although beware of wet or slippery roads. Or slip on a pair of snowshoes. One of the easiest sports around, snowshoeing can be excellent cold-weather cross-training for runners and cyclists - or anyone wanting to take a wintry walk in the woods.

Whatever sport you choose, don't rely on a friend for instruction. You wouldn't let an amateur perform brain surgery on you; why let one teach you to ski or skate? That's what instructors are for- to help newcomers start out right. Instructors can give you advice about equipment, techniques, safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen you.

It's tempting for an eager athlete to advance too quickly through learning the ropes. Resist the temptation. If you want to progress, invest your time in learning the basics thoroughly. Everything else you do as a skier, boarder, or skater will be built on these first skills.

Play safely by figuring out what, special equipment and safety gear you'll need. Planning an afternoon of snowshoeing or cross-country skiing? Pack water, snacks, fruit, and extra socks. If you're going out for a long time, keep your water bottle insulated from the cold so it doesn't freeze.

Don't head out onto the slopes or into remote country areas alone. Always go with a buddy and tell a friend what time you plan on returning. If you get in trouble and don't show up when you are supposed to, your friend has your back.
