As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old ，had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes！” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around， looked at me in the eye， clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
小题1:The author thinks music__________.| A．can make children calm down | | B．can connect heart to heart | | C．is difficult for pre-school students | | D．is a good means to find a job |
小题2:According to the second paragraph Vanessa_________.| A．got used to singing songs | | B．was too shy to speak | | C．was the youngest in the class | | D．enjoyed the author’s class |
小题3:When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt________.| A．surprised | B．happy | C．frightened | D．satisfied |
小题4:What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?| A．The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years. | | B．Vanessa became as healthy as other children. | | C．The song made a deep impression on Vanessa. | | D．Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream. |

Many jokes are made up about famous people. Here is one about Bill Clinton, the former(先前的) president of the United States.
Hillary died and went to heaven. When she was met by the Angel Gabriel she noticed behind her a wall of unimaginable proportions(部分) that was completely covered with clocks.
“What are they?” she asked the heavenly angel in complete surprise.
“They are lie clocks. Each time you lie, the hand moves a little bit to the right. See that one?” the angel pointed to one that hadn’t moved at all, “That’s Mother Theresa’s, who has never told a lie. And that one, ” he points to another, “That was Abraham Lincoln’s. He only ever told two lies. ”
Hillary looked around with some interest, then wandered back over to the angel again. “Excuse me, ” she asked, “but where is Bill Clinton’s clock?”“The Lord Jesus is using it in his office for a ceiling fan. ”
小题1:The clock of Bill Clinton is used as a ceiling fan because_____. | A．the Lord Jesus likes him | | B．the wall was already covered by other clocks | | C．his clock moves the fastest | | D．his clock moves too slowly |

In the dining room of my grandfather’s house stood a massive grandfather clock. Meals in that dining room were a time for three 36 to become one. The table was always spread with 37 containing love as the main ingredient (成分). And that grandfather clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the 38 that was a part of our lives.
As a child, the old clock fascinated me. I 39 and listened to it during meals. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s ritual (老习惯). He wound (上发条) that clock with a(n) 40 key carefully each day. I remember watching 41 my grandfather took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the clock. He inserted the key and wound — not too much, nor too 42 . He never let that clock wind down and 43 . He showed us grandchildren how to open the door and let us each take 44 winding the key.
After my grandfather died, it was days after the funeral 45 I remembered the clock! The tears 46 freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there quiet.
Some time later, my grandmother gave me the key. The old house was 47 . No laughter over the dinner table, no ticking or chiming of the 48 — all was still. I took the key in my shaking hand and 49 the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a 50 again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and blue eyes. He was there, 51 at me, at the secret of the clock"s magic, at the key that held so much power.
I stood there, 52 in thought for a long time. Then slowly and 53 I inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my 54 . With the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather 55 again.

I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist(社会学家) proposed that the 36 society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I 37 hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood. 38 the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you 39 have done. Life has become hopelessly 40 . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you 41 things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I 42 at the other end of the town. I was 43 that this simple vehicle could let me 44 long distances in a fairly short time. But how 45 did I really go?
Since I hated to be 46 , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to 47 an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but 48 , “An odometer without a speedometer (速度计) is like a 49 without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (装置) were 50 to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many 51 .” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can’t leave the back part 52 ,” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons 53 the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven(烤箱) when you feel 54 on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to 55 the offer.
“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.
