“You must be mad！” said my friends. “Giving up your job now， when there isn"t much chance of finding another one， ever！”
But I had already come to my lonely decision. To wake up in the morning with a sense of fear， to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then to set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual， and I had turned to tranquilizers(镇定剂) to help me along.
It hadn"t always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed quite well.
I， in common with most other teachers， am rather selfcritical， and I knew now I was no longer “managing”.My classes were noisy， the children were not learning very much， and my attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague(含糊的) “Hello， Miss”， and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.
Was it all my own failure？ In fairness to myself， I don"t think it was. I had plenty of ideas， I loved my subject， and I liked children.
I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children， overstimulated(刺激)by videowatching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were given the wrong food at the wrong time， who came without breakfast to school and then stuffed themselves with gum and chocolates bought on the way； who were “high” with hunger in class and talked restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting (漂) to all floors.
I had been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible， but I had failed， and no longer had the stomach for the job.
64.The reason why the writer decided to give up her job was probably that　　　　.
A.teaching children wasn"t challenging
B.she took no pride in her work
C.teaching had become too much for her
D.she disliked the new teaching method
65.“My very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence” means“　　　　”.
A.I"d very well make some students stop talking simply by standing in the doorway
B.when I came to the doorway， the class would immediately quiet down
C.all the students would become silent on my turning up in the doorway
D.my appearance in the doorway could at least comfort the class
66.The following are all reasons that children couldn"t concentrate in class EXCEPT　　　　.
A.they were tired out because they went to bed too late
B.they were burdened with too much homework
C.they were not properly fed by their parents
D.they were over excited by videowatching the night before
67.We can infer from the passage that the writer　　　　.
A.had no love for children at all
B.never truly enjoyed teaching
C.found it difficult to give up her job
D.felt extremely nervous about each coming day

One evening, at a big party,a friend asked if she would like to meet the King of Greece,who was also a guest.She answered in her simple manner, “I don"t see the value of it.” Then,seeing that she had hurt the feelings of her friend, she quickly added, “But …but…of course,I shall do whatever you please.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36－55各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The purpose of a letter of application (求职) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state   16 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   17   . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 18   out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in   19 that things a possible employer is most   20 to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   21 the first few sentences fail to 22   the reader"s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   23 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not 24 your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your 25 in today"s newspaper". You might say "I have made a careful 26 of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   27 your product and why they like it".
Try to 28 generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   29 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I 30 in a letter? Employers want experience---which, naturally, no 31   has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is 32 .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. 33 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 34 is to enclose (内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 35   for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

SHE dresses in saggy (宽松的) pants and is crazy about the pop star, Rain. Bin Xue is in love with South Korean culture. The 19-year-old from Sichuan Province feels a strong connection with the neighboring country.
"The two nations have a long history of friendship and there are many similarities between them," she said. "But Koreans are iron-willed, and we could learn this quality from them."
Bin is not the only Chinese deeply affected by Korean culture. A recent survey shows that most Chinese teenagers think highly of their eastern neighbor.
However, Koreans do not view the Chinese in the same good light. In a recent survey, only 5.5 per cent of Korean teens thought the Chinese people friendly.
The survey among high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the United States, was conducted in 156 high schools. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned on success, family, their self-identity (自我意识), as well as their opinions about the world at large.
Results showed that most Korean teens gave a low score to the Chinese for patriotism (爱国心), responsibility and honesty. In their eyes, Chinese people are not hard-working and don"t obey the rules.
"The result is surprising, but it does reflect a real information gap between teenagers in the two countries," said Lei Li, a psychology professor from the Capital Normal University.
Experts say that Chinese students" positive feelings about South Korea were a result of the booming (繁荣) popularity of Korean pop music. Korean movies and TV series have flooded China. And 73 per cent of the Chinese respondents said they watched Korean TV serials and cartoons.
On the other hand, Lei added, Korean teenagers don"t have much access to China. The survey found that only 6.7 per cent of Korean students have ever read Chinese books or news magazines or watch Chinese TV programmes.1
Professor Lei thinks that Chinese teens should give themselves a better basis for appreciating the cultures of their neighbors. It"s not enough to simply enjoy their music, TV and fashion sense. "The survey shows that Chinese teens should make friends with their foreign peers . They shouldn"t judge other countries by their media alone," said Lei.
Luo Xi"er, 17, from Hunan Province, hopes Chinese people can improve their image. "In my opinion, it is the bad behavior of Chinese tourists which has destroyed our image abroad," she said.
The girl has read several online articles in which Koreans put Chinese tourists" bad manners under the spotlight. "I would like to go to South Korea some day and show them that most Chinese are good-mannered."
1. Most Chinese teenagers think highly of South Korea because _____.
A. they are crazy about pop stars in South Korea
B. Korean people have certain qualities they respect
C. there are many similarities between China and South Korea
D. all of the above
2. Korean teens probably have low opinions of Chinese because ______.
A. they are friendly and iron-willed B. they don"t know much about China
C. they hate Chinese because of historical conflicts
D. they only watch Korean TV serials and cartoons
3. According to professor Lei, ______.
A. Chinese teens should not enjoy the pop music of South Korea
B. Chinese teens should help Korean peers learn more about China
C. we should prevent Korean movies and TV series from flooding in China
D. we should have a better understanding of Korean peers
4. We can infer from the survey _________.
A. Chinese teenagers think highly of South Koreans
B. most Korean teens gave a low score to the Chinese
C. it is necessary to strengthen cultural communications
D. bad behavior of Chinese tourists destroyed our image abroad
