Emma would find her comfort in school, even as a C student, thanks to one teacher. When she moved on to middle school, Emma was alarmingly far behind her classmates. She kept her head down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up, and feeling like an outsider.
Then one day, when Emma was 16, a teacher named Mr. Potts changed everything. Looking his students in the eye, Mr. Potts said, "Being a C student does not mean you do not have a valuable contribution to make. Some of you have to work in the fields in the evening and do not have time to study. But if you do your best, you have a gift to give."
The teacher’s words made Emma believe she could do well, and she worked harder. In the end she won a scholarship to St. Paul’s College, graduated with a degree in elementary education in 1967, and got a job in the public-school system. Then, at George Washington University, she received a master’s in education in 1970, and afterwards in the same year she married Ron Smothers.
Over the next six years, Emma taught in public schools in Miami. In 1976, after saving $10,000, she opened her first restaurant in Los Angeles. Eventually Emma stopped teaching, and her business expanded (扩展) to six restaurants.
In gratitude (感激) for what she has been able to achieve, Emma donates a lot. She has no idea how much money she’s given away. She says, "Those I want to help are the C students who just need help, direction and confidence."

解析
试题分析：本文讲述了Emma成功的故事，关键在于老师对她的鼓励，让她有了自信心，能够发挥自己的才干，取得了很大的成功。
小题1:A 段落大意题。根据文章第一段Growing up on a tobacco farm, Emma Avery was used to hard times. When she was seven, her family’s farmhouse burned to the ground. Her father made a temporary (临时的) shelter, where eight people had to sleep in two beds. As soon as Emma and her four brothers and two sisters were big enough, they were out in the fields.可知她出生贫寒，很早就要到地里干活，没有时间去学习。故A正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据第三段内容，尤其是文章第4段第一句The teacher’s words made Emma believe she could do well, and she worked harder.可知老师的鼓励，让她有了信心，努力学习。所以她对这位老师很感激。故C正确。
小题3:B 推理题。根据第二段最后2行. She kept her head down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up, and feeling like an outsider.说明她没有自信，很自卑。故B正确。
小题4:A 主旨大意题。本文讲述了Emma成功的故事，关键在于老师对她的鼓励，让她有了自信心，能够发挥自己的才干，取得了很大的成功。故A项符合。
点评：本文主要讲述自信心对人的发展的重要作用。在解题时要立足已知，推断未知。立足现在，猜测未来。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点;要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调，揣摸作者的态度，摸准逻辑发展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音。

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined regularly .Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about---creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens Winners don’t have few problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “Whose fault it is”. Once you are confident about power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

Friendship can be seen. It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands. It is seen in a child freely 38 the last cookie. It is not 39 to see friendship; it is always there for eyes that can see.
Friendship can be heard. It is heard in the words of two friends squeezing in lunch together on an extremely 40 day although they have a lot of things to do. It is the way they 41 each other, not the words. Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen.
Friendship is 42 in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, and the wet kiss from the family dog. The touch 43 more than words or gestures. It is 44 understood and clearly shows the feelings.
Friendship has a taste. It tastes like homemade bread: the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully 45 , then the quiet 46 as the dough(生面团) rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients 47 there are the thoughts of the baker as her hands mix the flour or her 48 as she waits for the dough to rise. 49 and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that 50 . Warm, fresh from the oven, the difference you taste is 51 .
Friendship has a smell. It smells like the slightly burnt cookies your brother made especially for you. It smells like your home when 52 it after being away for a long tome. Friendship has 53 smells.
Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is a(n) 54 of the heart. It is the language of the heart --- a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the 55 . Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

| A．it is unfair to other people |
| B．it does harm to their heath |
| C．teachers should punish them |
| D．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once |
| A．the material in the test is very difficult |
| B．they want to do better than the others |
| C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy |
| D．they have little time to study |
| A．cheating isn’t a good idea |
| B．why kids cheat in the test |
| C．some kids can’t pass the test without cheating |
| D．some kids don’t spend time studying |
| A．cheaters are often thought highly of |
| B．people show no respect for those who cheat |
| C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble |
| D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice |
| A．spend more time on school than on sports |
