26、Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad took out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

29、The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt. She was Myrtle C.
Manigault, the wife of my mother's brother Bill. She taught me in second gradeat all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn't dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre-not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favourite niece". Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
【1】Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A.She lent her some serious classics.
B.She cultivated her taste for music.
C.She discovered her talent for dancing.
D.She introduced her to adult plays.
【2】What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A.A book of great fun.
B.A writer of high fame.
C.A serious masterpiece.
D.A heartbreaking play.
【3】Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ________.
A.develop her capabilities for writing
B.give her a chance to collect material
C.involve her in teenage social activities
D.offer her a series of writing jobs
【4】We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who________.
A.trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B.gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C.emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils
D.helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。
Take notes, not notepads
If you were allowed to bring a laptop to class, would you prefer to take notes by typing or with a pen and paper? Most people would probably prefer a laptop. And the reason is obvious: they can write much more quickly using a keyboard and therefore take down more information.
But the truth is that faster isn’t always better. A new study, done by Princeton University and University of California, found that students who took handwritten notes actually learned more than those who used laptops, reported The Atlantic. In the study, 65 college students watch a video of a lecture and take notes either with pens or laptops. Students were then asked to complete different tests based on how well they remembered and understood the lecture. Results show that pen users performed better than those who took notes with their laptops.
Curious about the results they compared the notes of the two groups and immediately saw the difference-pen users’ notes were shorter and taken mostly in their own words. Laptop users, however usually type down word by word what the lecture said in a “mindless” way. They found that students with laptops always try to take more notes, so they usually write down information without processing is meaning while pen users know that they cannot possibly record every word in a lecture. Instead, they listen, think and focus on understanding the content of the lecture. Besides brain activities, there is another reason that laptops are not so useful in class. According to Scientific American, when college students use laptops in class, they spend on average 40 percent of class time doing things such as visiting social media sites or shopping, which obviously harms their school performance.
Indeed. Technology is making our lives easier and doing things more efficiently. But learning may not be one of those things. As scientific American put it: “When it comes to taking notes, students need fewer gigs (电脑性能) and more brain power.”
