A
I would just like to say that I’ve always admired your kindness towards people when you found them in trouble. I’ve noticed that you have always thanked people for simply doing their work. Although you might think it was a small thing，I was touched by what you do. It shows you have got well educated. I remember one afternoon my seeing you offer to drive a girl home because she didn’t have a ride. What surprised me was that you had to stay at school, but it took you much time to drive her home anyway, and drove back to school because she lived far away. I could not have been a good boy in your class and I made a lot of trouble at school, but upon recalling the teachers I had met before, your compassionate(富于同情心的)nature was unforgettable and struck me deeply. I just want to thank you very much for that, even if this letter seems simple.
May your tender heart inspire others as well!
A former student of yours
Dropping this letter off at the mailbox in post office, I felt I was a bit closer to her, and I admired her kindness from a distance. She is so nice and it breaks my heart when seeing many students take advantage of her gentle heart and be disrespectful towards her. I hope the letter means something to her and that it will increase her confidence. She will not know who it’s from because then she will think a lot of her former students will never forget her.

A. a lot of knowledge B. compassionate nature
C. working hard every day D. kindness towards others
42.According to the author in school he was once ______.
A. a clever student B. good at studies
C. a trouble-maker D. a good student
43.The author wrote the letter without writing down his name on it because ______.

B. Mrs. Walmsley didn’t like receiving the author’s letters
C. he knew his teacher would probably guess who wrote it
D. he considered what he did would make his teacher believe many students still remember her

B
The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches（串）of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira. ” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed ,I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing at the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.
I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. He waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him. “ I … I don’t have money to buy books for school. ” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir, ”he said. “Thank you very much!”
When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he’s a cheat（騙子）? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
Over
the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern
“ Oh, gosh! Long time.”
“Are you in school now?” I asked.
He nodded.
“That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “ Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”
He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat（汗水）. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “ I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”
45.What was the author’s first impression of the boy?
A. He seemed to be poor and greedy. B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.
C. He seemed younger than his age. D. He seemed good at bargaining.
46. The second time the author met the boy, the boy _______.
A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts B. wanted to express his thanks
C. asked him for money for his schoolbooks D. tried to take advantage of him
47. Why did the author give his money to the boy?
A. Because he had enough money to do that.
B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.
C. Because he held a higher position in the society
D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.
48. Which of the following best describes the boy?
A. Brave and polite. B. Kind and smart.
C. Honest and thankful. D. Shy and nervous.

The qualities required for a hero are different with times, and sometimes great figures of a certain period would surprise the people of another generation. For example, John Lennon’s death in December of 1980 made his admirers very sad. Few deaths have caused such sadness in so many countries throughout the history of the world. There is no doubt that Lennon was a hero of his admirers. Why? What had he done that was so unusual? “John was not just a musician, ” said one of his admirers. “He had known how to express our generation’s feelings in the late 1960s. He was our voice and our guide; he changed with us over the years ,always a little ahead of us; he opened new horizons（眼界）for us and encouraged us to do what we wanted. To us he talked of love and peace; he was the big brother we needed in a troubled time.” Some of his admirers knew he was not perfect; but they chose to ignore his dark side to remain grateful for the contribution he had made in their lives. There are surely many people who don’t consider John Lennon a hero, who in fact have a low opinion of him. But it is not unusual for one person’s hero to be another’s villain（壞人）. Think of all the leaders and revolutionaries who are deeply respected by one nation or one generation, and hated by others.
Television ,and films offer many shallow（淺薄的）heroes to their young audience. Many parents are unhappy to see their children’s admiration ideas or talent. But such heroes do not last long; for a few years the growing teenagers are laughing at these objects of their admiration. They start looking for better guides. And no matter what they say, they do find them: The student who is clever enough to recognize qualities in his father’s friend has a perfectly good hero of his own, and one who is much easier to imitate than George Washington.
It may be difficult to be a hero in the Western world these days, under the searching eyes of a critical society. But surely excellence has not disappeared completely; there are still individuals who are better than their fellow men by their wisdom, their courage, or their characters. They can be heroes if people are willing to ignore their human imperfections. Heroes are needed everywhere, at any time. It’s a sad sky that has no shining stars.
53.The author believes that a hero_____.
A. will be respected by all generations B. must be a superman
C. is a famous musician D. can be a villain to some other people
54. From the passage, it is obvious that shallow heroes____.
A. are good guides for young generations B. are often admired by children
C. may be father’s good friends D. are difficult to imitate
55. Which of the following statements is true? ______
A. It’s sad for the modern world not to have heroes.
B. A hero must ignore his dark side.
C. Nowadays, there is no hero any more in the Western world.
D. In modern society, everyone does as well as others.
56. All the following about John Lennon are true except ____.
A. John Lennon was good at expressing the feelings in the late 1960s
B. John Lennon contributed a lot to his time
C. John Lennon always changed his way of living to make his admirers excited
D. to some people, John Lennon was helpful when they were in trouble

Recently, the students in our school had a discussion about whether students should stay at school at weekends or not.
Some students are in favor of staying at school. They think if they stay at school, they can have more studying time. What’s more, they can turn to their teachers for help or discuss with their classmates when they come across some problems in their studies. In addition, they can save money on traffic fares by staying at school.
However, other students are against the idea. They think going back home at weekends is a good chance to stay with their parents. They can help their parents do some housework. Besides, they can have a good rest at home.
In my opinion, whether to stay at school or not depends on the students’ own habits and need.
