     I am a senior in college, and my major is elementary education. But the thing is, even though I am
going to become a teacher I have a horrible fear of giving presentations. My main problem is that I shake, which causes my paper to move when I hold it. Also I feel my heart beating so fast that I almost cannot
hear myself or pay attention to anything else. In my other semesters I only had one presentation which
only lasted for a few minutes. This, however, is my professional semester and there are about three
presentations per class and some of them have to be 30 minutes long! Now I feel like I"m in the wrong
field because of how nervous I become. But the thing is, I have already had students taught and have a lot of experience with children, and when I am around children I am completely comfortable. Children don"t
judge people and I just don"t get nervous around them. That is why I don"t understand why they make us
do so many presentations in front of our peers (同龄人) as if they were children!
     I am just so nervous about getting up in front of my class this semester! I can"t stop fearing it and I"m
set for failure. It"s strange. I have a good friend in my class and I seem to be more nervous with her being
there than when she is not there! Maybe that"s because I don"t know or don"t really care about the rest of
the students in the class. 1. The author will have to ____ in his / her future job.A. deal with freshmen in college
B. deal with students in elementary school
C. make many public presentations in front of his / her peers 
D. work with his / her good friends2. Which of the following words can best describe the author"s feeling when he / she is giving
presentations?A. Worried.    
B. Tense.    
C. Exciting.    
D. Disappointed. 3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____. A. the author only feels nervous when his / her friend is present
B. the author performs better when his / her friend is not there
C. the author is disliked by most of his / her classmates
D. the author is eager to get help and support from his / her friend 4. The text is mainly about ____. A. how to get rid of the fear of giving presentations
B. an interesting experience of the author in the professional semester
C. stories about the relationship between the author and his / her friend
D. the author"s problem of giving presentations

阅读理解     The day was Thankful Thursday. It"s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago.
Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive contribution. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do. At noon, I drove to a McDonald"s with my daughters
because they kept complaining that they hadn"t had enough to eat at breakfast. There we saw some
homeless people in the street and we bought lunch for them.
     We were about to complete when we found a small woman standing at the corner, asking for change. We handed her some food, and then started to head home. Suddenly from the mirror of the car, I saw the woman waving at us, so I had to turn around and stopped where the small woman stood. She walked to
our car, and said, "Thank you, lady! No one has ever done anything like this for me before." I replied, "Well, I"m glad that we were the first." Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked,
"So, when do you think you"ll eat your lunch?" 
     She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh honey, I"m not going to eat this
lunch." I was confused, but before I could say anything, she continued. "You see, I have a little girl of my
own at home and she just loves McDonald"s, but I can never buy it for her because I just don"t have the
money. But you know what... tonight she is going to have McDonald"s!"
     I don"t know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our Acts of Kindness were too small to have effect on those poor people. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of Mother Teresa"s words: "We cannot do great things - only small things with great love."1. The author drove to a McDonald"s to ______.

B. meet the small woman                                                      
C. buy food for the woman"s daughter                                  
D. have lunch with her daughters                                            
2. According to this passage, the small woman was ______.                    
A. too happy to stand at the corner                                  
B. too eager to ask for more food                                            
C. too poor to buy McDonald"s                                      
D. too busy to care for her daughter                                        
3. What can we know from the passage?                                        
A. The author finally realized what she did was of use to the poor.          
B. The author would stop doing her acts of kindness to the poor.            
C. The author"s daughters found their mother cried at the end of the day.  
D. The author"s daughters would make friends with the woman"s daughter.    
4. What would be the best title of the passage?                              
A. No Pains No Gains                                          
B. No Pleasure Without Pain                                                  
C. No Small Act of Kindness
