the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague"s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn"t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student
had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher. Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction — I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.

小题1:These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer. They also give students practice in four basic reading skills: skimming, scanning, reading for thorough comprehension, and critical reading.
Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or小题2:
Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more concentrated. 小题3:When you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning.
Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage. At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author’s ideas小题4:.
Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reedit requires posting and answering questions such as “小题5:”, “Do I share the author’s point of view?” and “Am I convinced by the author’s arguments and evidence?
| A．Does my own experience support that of the author? |
| B．Reader’s Choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world. |
| C．but has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas. |
| D．The book contains many types of selections on a wide variety of topics. |

G. when there is no time to read something carefully.
阅读下面五篇短文，从每题后所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
The Worst PartMom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house.
I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”I thought about that.“Something on your mind?” he asked.“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”
I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”41．From the story we know that______ . A．Leigh’s dad never had a rest on Sundays B．Leigh was a deserted boy C．Leigh’s dad lived in another city D．Leigh’s mother often went to golf games42．What happened to Bandit? A．It was frozen to death. B．It was let out of the cab and got lost C．It was killed by a truck. D．It ran off Highway 80 and into the mountain.43．The underlined sentence “Keep your shirt on” probably means “ ______ ”. A．Listen to reason B．Stop talking C．Calm down D．Keep warm44．The worst part in Leigh’s eyes may be that______ . A．his dad got remarried B．his parents got divorced C．his dad didn’t love him D．his mom didn’t take him to pizza

Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse(丧失), your brain never forgot what you should have done.
Memory works mainly by association. For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re heading out of the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter. Your brain knew where the keys were all along. It just took a round-about way to get there.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.
First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的) pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol(cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.
Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.
“We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkey made the wrong choice, although it apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.
Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex (ITC), an area of its brain used for visual pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the
activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.Meanwhile, more than half the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”
57．The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between __________.
A．memory lapse and human brain B．memory and association
C．memory and television ads D．memory and our daily life
58．Which of the following best expresses the general idea of the text?
A．Your brain may forget something, but not always.
B．Activity is a round-about way to memory.
C．Your brain remembers what you forget.
D．Monkeys have better memory than us.
59．The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice ________.
A．also knew the correct answer B．had the worst memory
C．failed to see the objects well D．had some trouble with its nerve system
60．The underlined word “endures” may be best replaced by __________.
A．disappears B．increases C．improves D．remains
A：Hello, Simon. Have you seen Billy this afternoon ?
B：No, Maria. Why ?
A：Oh, dear. I can’t find him anywhere. I don’t know what to do. He should have been back an hour ago. 61
B：Don’t worry, Maria. He could have, but he probably didn’t. Did anything happen this morning? 62
A：His birthday party.
B：Is it possible that you said something to upset him ?
A：I must have. I told him we hadn’t received Mr. White’s reply to our invitation.
B： 63
A：No, he left home right after that. 64
B：Maria, I’m sure there is nothing to worry about. He is probably on his way to see Mr. Smith, or else he is with Mr. White.
A：Oh, wait! There he is ! And Mr. Smith is with him. 65 He must have been to Mr. Smith’s.
A．I suppose I should have called you earlier.
B．Anything else?
C．I wonder if he could have had an accident.
D．I’m afraid he might have an accident.
E．Where could he have been?
F．You are right, Simon.
