When I met Mr Jim Lemon I was a seventeen-year-old freshman at Houston"s Jackson Junior High.The chances of my finishing high school were 36 . I was a troubled teenage.
Mr Lemon taught American history and was quite 37 from the other teachers I had known. Not only was he 38 , but also he was a great teacher. He pushed and never tolerated the mediocrity(平庸) that had become my standard.
On the occasion of our first semester report cards, Mr Lemon 39 me aside and asked how it was possible that I was a B student in his class and a C student in the 40 of my classes. I passionately told him about my 41 parents, the local gangs, the drugs, the fights, the police---all of the evils I had been 42 to. It was then that Mr Lemon 43 explained that the only person 44 for my situation was me. And the only person with the 45 to change my situation was me. He 46 me that I was failing not because I was a failure. He inspired me to become a better student and he 47 my life.
Ten years later I was preparing to graduate from a university when I spoke to him again . 48 I did get him on the phone, I told him that I had been saving money so that I could invite him to come to Hawaii at my 49 to be a part of my graduation.
I"ll never forget his 50 . He said,"Who is this again?" I was just one of hundreds of the students whose life he changed 51 he had no idea of his influence.
Mr Lemon never came to my graduation, but his 52 taught me another valuable lesson. His final lesson for me was that we will never know or understand the 53 we have on other people"s lives. He taught me that we all have the 54 to effect people"s lives for the 55 ... Or for the worse.

A twenty-nine-year-old kindergarten teacher from Maryland was named National Teacher of the Year in 2006. On June first she would begin a year as a national and international spokeswoman for education.
Kimberly Oliver was the first National Teacher of the Year from her state. She taught five-year-old children at a public school in Maryland, near Washington, D.C. President Bush honored her and other top teachers at the White House.
Kimberly Oliver said she wanted people to understand that the first several years of a child’s life were the most important for learning. She said investing in children at a very young age would result in great gains later in school and in life. She called on parents to read to children from an early age so they would not fall behind in school. One of the activities at her school was an event called “ Books and Supprer Night ”. Families read together at the school and received free books to take home. Parents, children and teachers also ate dinner together.
Broad Acres Elementary School was in a poor area. Many of the parents were immigrants with limited English. Kimberly Oliver helped improve learning environment at her school. She received money to buy electronic learning systems, tape players and books in English and Spanish and sent them home with students. Parents said she had shown them how to help their children at home.
She was born and raised in Delaware. She held one degree in English and another in Elementary Education. Kimberly Oliver would follow in the footsteps of another teacher Jason Kamras from the Washington area as National Teacher of the Year. Jason Kamras, as honored for his work, teaching math to middle school students in the nation’s capital.

No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament（锦标赛）last summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.
Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls（假摔以使对方犯规）.
Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties（处罚）on themselves.
“It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was p raised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”
So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(开球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.
小题1:What can we infer from the text? | A．A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag. | | B．Zach returned the medal that he had won. | | C．Zach’s grandparents encouraged him to play fair. | | D．Zach regretted meeting with the professional player. |
小题2:According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.| A．honor comes before victory | | B．players are superior to coaches | | C．referees have to watch each shot | | D．players needn"t care about medals |
小题3: What can be learned fr om the underlined sentence?| A．One should be praised for not robbing a bank. | | B．Bobby looked down upon bank robbers. | | C．Little did Bobby care about the penalty. | | D．Observing rules demands no praise. |
小题4: Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?| A．He remembered the lesson. | B．He lacked self-confidence. | | C．He felt a little too nervous. | | D．He was no good with numbers. |

Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery（谜） inside a puzzle”. Observers of Russia in the 21st century could surely say the same of the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Born in Leningrad, six months before the death of Stalin, the young Putin experienced a poverty-stricken childhood but received a good education. He developed lifelong interests in judo and spy novels, and first applied to the KGB(苏联国家安全委员会) at the age of 17. When they told him to go away and come back with a degree, he completed with an efficiency(效率) that would later serve him well.
Putin used his KGB training, plus his own discipline and common sense, in a series of jobs. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election and in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008.
Due to term limits, Putin was unable to run for a third presidential term. After the victory of Dmitry Medvedev, in the 2008 presidential elections, he was appointed to be Russia’s Prime Minister.
Putin is regarded as one bringing political stability and re-establishing the rule of law. During his presidency, Russia’s economy(经济) bounced back, seeing GDP increase by 72%, poverty cut more than half, and average monthly salaries increase from $80 to $640. Analysts have described Putin"s economic reforms as impressive. At the same time, his conduct in office has been questioned by political opposition at home, foreign governments, and human rights organizations for leading the Second Chechen War, and for his record on human rights and freedoms.
Whether he wants to drive Russia into a new stage, or believes in the values of its Soviet past, he is determined to put his nation back on its feet. To do this, Vladimir Putin may have to show his true colors sooner rather than later.
小题1: What would be the best title for the text?| A．The Mysterious President of Russia | | B．Russia’s High-growth Economy | | C．Russia’s Far Past and Near Future | | D．The Political Situation in Russia |
小题2: Which of the following helps Putin’s success in presidential election?| A．His family background. | B．His belief in Soviet. | | C．His efficiency in jobs. | D．His love for freedom. |
小题3: What happened in Russia during Putin’s presidency?| A．The number of the poor reduced to 50%. | | B．Every Russian enjoyed equal rights. | | C．Russia’s economy picked up rapidly. | | D．Russian people lived a peaceful life. |
小题4: What c an we learn about Putin from the text?| A．He gains respect of foreign governments. | | B．He always fought for human rights. | | C．He ran for president a third time. | | D．He is a politician of great achievements. |

Herta Müller, the Romanian-born German writer, has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. Ms. Müller, 56, immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987. She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Günter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901. She is the 12th woman to gain the literature prize. But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V. S. Naipaul, Ms. Müller is unknown inside of literary circles in Germany.
“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms. Muller said in a statement released by her publisher in Germany. “I can’t say anything more at the moment.”
She has written some 20 books, but just 5 have been translated into English, including the novels “The Land of Green Plums” and “The Appointment.”
At a news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers & Booksellers Association in Berlin, where she lives, Ms. Müller, wearing all black, appeared overwhelmed(不知所措) by all the cameras in her face.
When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich Böll, Ms. Müller remained philosophical(达观的). “I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse,” she said, adding: “My inner thing is writing. That’s what I can hold on to.”
Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Stockholm, Peter Englund, secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Ms. Müller was honored for her “very, very distinct special language” and because “she has really a story to tell about…and growing up as a stranger in your own family.
小题1:.we can learn from the passage that Ms. Muller is_______.| A．the 1st writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature since 1999 | | B．the 12th winner for the Nobel Prize in Literature since 1901 | | C．the 13th woman writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature | | D．a German citizen since she moved to German in 1987 |
小题2: Ms. Müller was surprised at the news about her winning the award because ____.| A．she was born a Romanian person | | B．she had failed many times in winning it | | C．she had never wanted to win the prize | | D．she was only an unknown writer |
小题3: The underlined expression “in the same breath” is the nearest in meaning to ____.| A．instead of | B．at the same moment | | C．in a breath | D．under the same roof |
小题4: We can infer according to the passage that ____.| A．her honored works are based on her own experience | | B．most of Ms. Müller’s novels are unsuccessful works | | C．Ms. Müller is feeling much better after she becomes the award winner | | D．Ms. Müller was honored because she’s described the Germans’ life vividly |
