A

I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.

So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.

I sat, stunned, for about half an hour, wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without even knowing it? What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon is the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more, and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.

It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

21. We can infer that when Simon’s mother entered the room, the writer felt _______.

A. satisfied B. nervous C. happy D. surprised22. Why did Simon’s mother come to visit her son’s teacher?

A. Because she worried about her son’s poor work.B. Because she wanted to show her gratitude to the teacher.C. Because Simon asked her to do so.D. Because she wanted to know her son’s performance in the school.

23. What the teacher said in paragraph 3 is intended to _______.A. encourage Jeanne to speak louder B. encourage Simon to work hardC. ask Jeanne to convince Simon D. tell the students that Simon was expert on that.

24. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. tell the story of Simon B. tell teachers how to be kind to studentsC. advise the readers to be kind to others. D. share a valuable lesson with readers.

Recently I have discovered it’s often easier for me to do something every day than to do it just some days. I post to my blog six days a week. I take notes every day. I write in my one-sentence journal every day. Many people have told me that they find it easier to exercise when they exercise every day. If I try to do something just four days a week, I spend a lot of time arguing with myself: Is today the day, or is it tomorrow, or the next day? Does the week start on Sunday or Monday?

If you do something every day, you tend to fall into a routine. Routine has a bad reputation for lacking excitement. It’s true that novelty and challenge bring happiness and that people who break their routines, try new things, and go to new places are happier, but I think that some routine activities also bring happiness. The pleasure of doing the same thing, in the same way, every day, shouldn’t be overlooked. By repeating, you can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor as well as in your beloved morning coffee-and-news routines.

Two geniuses whom I know of also wrote about the power of doing something every day. Andy Warhol wrote, “Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.” Gertrude Stein made a similar point, “Anything one does every day is important and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”

So if there’s something that you wish you did more regularly, try doing it every day; if you do something every day, take great pleasure in it.

25. In the first paragraph, what does the author try to tell us?

A. It’s easier to do the same thing every day.B. It’s important to do the same thing every day. C. He has a good habit of following routines.D. He enjoys the habit of following routines.[:]

26. People usually tend to break their routines because they________.A. hope to have a better reputation B. would like to get rid of the old habitC. want to have fun and excitement D. are willing to face new challenges

27. Which of the following statements does Andy Warhol probably agree to?

A. Doing something that is exciting. B. Doing something almost every day.C. Doing something every day, not only once. D. Doing something every day or only once.

28. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. A Way To Form A Habit B. Do Anything Every DayC. Repeat Regularly D. Power Of Everyday Repetition

Playing the piano may seem like nothing special to you, but what about playing it on fruits instead of piano keys? Lin Hai, a 24-year-old graduate, did exactly that, as he made an electronic board by himself. Wearing thick glasses and a simple T-shirt, Lin looks no different to other engineering students. But under his plain appearance lies a true geek（极客）heart. When Lin was little, he loved disassembling things to look at how they work. Even though he often failed at putting them back together, his curiosity was never satisfied and he laid hands on everything, except computers. “My parents told me not to disassemble computers because they’re expensive, so I researched the software instead.” says Lin. When he went to university, Lin chose a subject that was related to engineering and programming.  Lin is a typical geek who often spends days in the laboratory inventing new things. His most successful invention is an electronic board he calls “Crazyer”, the one that turns bananas into piano keys. Lin’s Crazyer electronic board was inspired by a similar device built by two PhD students at MIT. Their device is called Makey Makey, which turns everyday objects into touchpads.

Having seen a video, Lin was so impressed by the device that he searched for its website in the hope of buying one. But he found it’s not for sale. For most people, the story would have ended there. But for Lin, it was about to begin: “Why not make my own Makey Makey” he thought. So he studied the video and website, trying to figure out how it worked. “I found that th
