just started at a local primary school. It is a school that she was eager for her daughter to attend because
it has a mix of racial and social cultures. As a white from a middle-class family, she thought it important for her daughter to go to a local school that was representative of the cultural and social mix of the society in
which we live. Having met, however, some of the other parents and children, she"s becoming increasingly
unsure about her choice. She is worried that along with the accent and vocabulary of her classmates, her
daughter will also pick up what appears to be a very narrow-minded, uneducated attitude. She wants her
daughter to be able to adapt and to fit in with her friends at school, but not necessarily to model her
behaviour on theirs. She wants her to like them but not be like them.
Is she worrying unnecessarily? Or should she abandon her principles and send her children to private
school? A report, published by the Independent Schools Council, shows record numbers of parents want
to send their children to private schools that stress "moral standards" and classroom discipline as they lose
faith in state education, even many Labour voters would consider going private for the first time if they
could afford the fees.
But is it right without question to see private schools as heavens where moral standards are high,
teachers are models of correctness and learning, children all come from open-minded families, and where
our little ones will be protected from the ills of the world? The only difference is that those who can afford
school fees are in the habit of making expensive mistakes. One of my colleagues who sends all his children to private schools tells stories of drug abuse, troublemakers, the decline of discipline and ever younger
age of rebellion (叛逆).
It"s an excellent plan to send our children to a mixed school. Placed in an entirely new environment,
they are at the risk of rejection, bullying (欺负) and maybe long-term alienation (疏离).But as soon as
our children step out of the front door they are faced with a challenging world where boundary between
the good and bad is so complex that young people have difficulty telling them apart. For this reason I
believe that Cook is better advised to bring her children up in the real world.
B. is mixing with trouble-makers
C. is attending a mixed school
D. is applying for a private school
B. a fighter against social ills
C. a model for her classmates
D. open-minded and well-educated
B. It is going from bad to worse.
C. It is experiencing moral decline.
D. It"s a place of high moral standard.
B. it is close to the real world
C. kids there are well protected
D. the competition there isn"t fierce

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but
unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, "You mean _1_." He explained that I should be
glad of the 2 exercise that the hill provided.
My 3 to the hill has now changed. I used to 4 as I approached it but now I tell myself the
following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to 5 and get fit. It will mean that I
live longer. This hill is my friend. 6 , I have a smile of 7 as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and 8 .We cannot achieve anything with a/an 9 life. Helen Keller
was the first deaf and blind person to 10 an University degree. She wrote, "Character cannot be 11 in
ease and quiet. Only through 12 of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared,
ambition inspired and success achieved."
One of the main 13 of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. At times we all face
hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. 14 we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our
attitude towards it.

He was 15 to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces (擅长的人). He was
a/an 16 to others during the war. He said, "Don"t listen to anyone who tells you that you can"t do this
or that. That"s nonsense. 17 your mind, and you"ll never 18 crutches(拐杖)or a stick, then have a go

landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. My mom found a doctor who knew that if the eye
were removed, my face would look ugly, so my scarred (有疤痕的), sightless, cloudy gray eye lived
on with me.
Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was always the
"monster". I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.
Yet Mom would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to rely on that
saying.
As a child, I thought Mom meant, "Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because
you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame (羞愧). But I found that
when I held my head up high, people liked me.
In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a freak (怪物). All
I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and
she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them
see the beauty that is inside."
When I met the man who became my husband, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told
me I was beautiful inside and out.
My mom"s love was the spark (火花) that gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned
not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion (怜悯) for others.
"Hold your head up high" has been heard many times in my home. Each of my children has felt its
invitation. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me lives on in another generation.
B. Because her mother wanted her to be confident.
C. Because her mother didn"t want her to be seen as a "monster".
D. Because her mother thought the author looked prettier when she did that.
B. The author gave her children encouragement and love, as her mother had given her.
C. The author was always confident after the accident.
D. In high school the author was chosen to be president of the student"s union.
B. didn"t quite understand the meaning of her words.
C. faced the same difficulty as their mother.
D. benefited from their mother"s words.
B. How I found my life-partner
C. My terrible childhood accident
D. Disability is no shame
