Shyness once took over my life. When I was 13, in my French lesson, my teacher told us to    16．    ourselves speaking about our families. I recorded myself with confidence.    17．    I pressed "play" to listen back, I heard my strange voice -- just like a little kid. That made me very shy and I    18．   to attend events from then on.

Years after that, I became a teacher in a primary school.    19．    the first day, my hands could not help but sweat(出汗). The weight of my arms was trying to stop me from    20．    the door. Though a little nervous, I opened the door slowly.    21．   , a wave of laughter flew through the air. Then I    22．   , and felt it was a bad    23．    to be a teacher. They did not seem to mind me at all. After class, a little girl walked up to me and asked, "Could you    24．    me to read this？" with the most    25．    face I have ever seen as if she had just gotten a cookie（曲奇饼）. "I like your voice！" she said. I shook my shyness off and my body felt as    26．    as a feather(羽毛). Perhaps this was not such a bad idea after all.

Besides, there was one simple thing that   27．   me most. Every day when the students left, they would clean up after themselves and leave their areas    28．    without ever being told to do so. Actually, they    29．    very well. Looking back it now, I would have to say these students gave me one of the greatest    30．    of my life.

In the future, I want to create a space for shy people like me to shine.

阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate（激活）an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood（情绪）. But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways.

Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling, too. This is specially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves feel good. So why not set off that chain（链条）of good feelings to people around?

Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities（慈善） also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.

In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone's spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.

The story doesn't end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship,doesn't it?

34．The writer leads in the topic by _______________.  

A．telling a story B．asking questions

C．giving examples D．making a survey

35．The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 2 refers to ______________.  

A．The situation B．The family C．The kind act D．That chain

36．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? 

A． B． C． D．

37．If you were an editor（编辑）, you'd put the above passage in "         " of newspaper.  

A．Science B．Tradition C．Invention D．Culture

阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.

One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class. So he asked us some questions, but no one answered. "Let me tell you a story first," he said.

"When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their names in bold（黑体） with the most eye­catchingcolor, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener's name directly. "

"I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances（机会）. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that. "

After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

38．What did Mr. Black want the students to do in his class? 

A．Read loudly. B．Take notes carefully.

C．Be active. D．Listen to him quietly.

39．How did the speaker get to know the students' names? 

A．He got them from the computer.

B．He saw the cardboards on the seats.

C．He asked the students for their names.

D．He got them from the name list on the teacher's desk.

40．What does the underlined word "eye­catching" in Paragraph 3 mean? 

A．引人注目的 B．眼睛疼痛的 C．目光呆滞的 D．泪眼朦胧的

41．What does the writer mainly tell us? 

A．Doing as others do is necessary.

B．Answering questions bravely is easy.

C．Attracting others' attention is interesting. 

D．Showing yourself bravely can win chances.

Dear Mike,

How nice to hear from you! In your letter you talked about your difficulties with your Chinese learning. Here is something I'd like to share.

Chinese was one of the subjects when I was in a primary school. At first, I used to be weak in it, and I felt stressed out. My Chinese teacher advised me to read more books. From then on, reading played an important role in my life. I often went to the library which was near my home. I made much more progress in Chinese.

I think reading books is a useful way of learning Chinese well. Also, it's necessary to practice writing as often as we can. Only in this way can we become a good Chinese learner.

I hope they will do some good to your Chinese learning.

Best wishes!
