A

They think they're lucky and it's Christmas again. They can't see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren't much good. Johnny and the children can't see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.

The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn't eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer(阴沟).

Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn't rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they're ashamed of their lives. I'd like to see the children would be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.

36. The writer's family is the poorest one on that street.

37. The McGarity girl is characterized as rich and nice.

38. The writer thinks Miss Jackson is an example her children should follow.

39. The writer wants to move out of that district.

40. Watching the rich girl eating cookies, those hungry children cried.

第二节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（共15小题。每小题2分，满分30分）

In my long years of teaching, I often ask my student to read the texts until they can recite（背诵） them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.

In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?

Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.

41. What do the students think about the teacher’s advice? _______.

A．The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.

B．The English teacher is very kind to them.

C．The English teacher asks them to do something useless.

D．The English teacher should let them study on their own.

42. When the students are against his suggestion, the writer_______.

A．often criticizes them

B．patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts

C．wants to give up his idea

D．is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster.

43. Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text?_____.

A．Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying English.

B．Reciting the texts is the best way of learning English.

C．The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them.

D．Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching.

Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behavior when they are watched. Do you?

A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.

Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will
