After graduating frm Ontari Cllege f Teachers, I became a teacher at a ne-rm cuntry schl in Aldbrugh Twnship.
That first day f schl as a 19-year-ld female teacher was a frightening experience. It was ne thing t have graduated as a successful student; it was anther thing t face a classrm f little faces that were waiting fr the “new teacher.” I had a classrm f 21 children f different shapes and sizes. The yungest was five ging n six and the eldest was 16.
There were tw drs fr entrance in my schl, ne fr the girls, ne fr the bys and just inside each dr was a chemical tilet—n utdr facilities fr us! The heat in the building was a wd-burning furnace(火炉) dwn in the basement. Tending the furnace was ne f my respnsibilities. Luckily, I knew a bit abut starting a fire, s the schl didn’t burn dwn.
What I fund mst difficult was that a parent might take a child ut f schl fr any reasn. I had ne Dutch family, whse father wuld keep the children ut f schl t help with the farm wrk. Finally, I gt tired f this and sent an educatin fficer t slve the prblem. Needless t say, I was very unppular with that father frm then n, but the children came t schl much mre regularly!
In the classrm, the lder students helped the yunger nes with learning, as well as with putting n cats and hats. If smene’s lunch was frgtten, everyne shared a bit f their fd. We were a family. We had gd times and bad times, but we kept learning. Far beynd maths, scial studies, reading, grammar and writing, we learned hw t get alng with each ther.
I lved teaching at this small schl and knew I was teaching the children abut life as much as abut subjects. I’d like t believe sme students will have an influence n the wrld that will last lng after I am gne.
24．Why did the authr feel her first day as a teacher frightening?

It is difficult fr a teacher t decide whether t allw students t listen t music in the classrm. Every time students need t write an essay r wrk n a prblem, they say, “Can I put my headphnes n? I think better that way.” But is that really true? Des music help cncentrate?
Research ffers little t back up (支持) the idea that listening t music imprves cncentratin. In ne small study, 133 students perfrmed reading tasks while listening t either light music, hip hp, r n music at all. Students wh perfrmed the reading tasks in silence scred the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hp was mre distracting and had a greater negative (消极的) effect n task perfrmance and cncentratin.
Vlume (音量) plays a mre imprtant rle than the type f music. The study fund that the luder the music, the wrse the perfrmance in cncentratin. The type f music didn’t matter. Data frm the study shwed nce again that silence was the best envirnment t imprve cncentratin.
Hwever, music has a psitive effect n wrk perfrmance. Studies have shwed that listening t music leads t psitive changes in md, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part f, there’s actually a change in md when the music is taken away.
It’s hard t cnvince my students that music desn’t help with their cncentratin. Taj, a senir tld me, “I wuldn’t be able t cncentrate if I were listening t music and trying t read. Hwever, when I write, I feel like music helps me cncentrate deeply. I dn’t have writer’s blck. It’s easy fr me t put my wrds n paper.”
“Maybe nt with reading, but when it cmes t math, listening t music certainly helps,” Danela tld me. “Yu culd actually be singing alng with what yu’re listening t and ding well in math.”
28．What des the underlined wrd “distracting” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A．Wrrying.B．Exciting.C．Interesting.D．Relaxing.
29．What can we learn frm the small study?
A．Students d well in reading tasks while listening t music.
B．Music can’t imprve peple’s md and creativity.
C．Different types f music lead t different perfrmances.
D．The vlume f music affects cncentratin.
30．What d Taj and Danela have in cmmn?
A．They believe music desn’t help cncentrate.
B．They use music t help with their paper-writing.
C．They can’t fcus n reading while listening t music.
D．They dn’t listen t music while ding math prblems.
31．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A．Shuld Students Listen t Music?B．Des Music Help Cncentratin?

What d yu think when yu hear the phrase “when pigs fly”? 36 This cmmn saying is used t express the idea that smething is highly impssible. Fr example, if yu ask yur parents when they’re ging t buy yu smething very expensive, the answer might be: “When pigs fly!”
37 An ld mentin f pigs flying appeared in Lewis Carrll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wnderland. Hwever, it is believed that Carrll may have picked up the phrase frm the Scttish, wh had been using the phrase fr several hundred years. That may be right.

If it was fggy, peple n the bank culd nly see the pigs’ heads abve the fg. 39 This might have caused the saying t appear.
Other cuntries als use animals t shw impssibility. 40 Other cuntries, such as France and Spain, use phrases like “when frgs grw hair” r “when hens grw teeth”.
A．Lng ag, mst Americans wrked in farming.
B．The phrase was used back then as a clever reply.

Hwever, when I write, I feel like music helps me cncentrate deeply. I dn’t have writer’s blck. It’s easy fr me t put my wrds n paper.”
