A

I dreamed of being a teacher, even though my family was poor．My mother bought me a blackboard, and I would gather the little children of the neighborhood to be my "students"．I would grade their class papers and return them the same time the next day．As the years passed, my dreams to be a teacher went on．

It was my caring high school math teacher —Earlene Satterfield, who inspired me to actually choose teaching as a career．For years I kept in touch with her．And then she always kept an eye on me．,When I took my first job teaching eighth-grade math, she came to watch me in action．She watched．Then we took back-to-back classes, with me teaching the first group and her teaching the same lesson to the second group．Then we compared notes．Experience showed．She was more detailed in her presentation, more skilled in her performance, more relaxed, more confident and so, more entertaining．She was the better actress, selling mathematic and intellectual excitement to these kids．

And as each new school year approaches, I learn from the year past, challenging myself to be better．Maybe my enthusiasm comes from one conviction: When I am in front of a class, I feel I owe each moment to each member of that class．

My teaching philosophy （哲学） is equally simple: My job is to bring out the good in every child．And there is good in every child —a good that that person can contribute to the society．A lot of teachers write off the bad students and concentrate on the supposedly smart ones．But there's more to a person than an "A" on some paper．Even the bad student possesses some quality of value; it's just buried under a load of sorrows．That's why I aim to learn everything about the children in my classes: their backgrounds, living conditions, problems and pleasures．I try to get particularly close to all the children．

31．From the second paragraph, it can be inferred that Mrs Satterfield ______．

A．taught very well B．was a good actress

C．taught the same class as the author D．was full of knowledge

32．The underlined word "conviction" in the 3rd paragraph means " ______．"

A．belief B．memory C．motto D．dream

33．The attitude of the author to the students is ______．

A．fair and caring B．positive but unfair

C．strict and equal D．caring but strict

34．What may be the best title for the passage?

A．My teaching career B．Working with my teacher

C．My teacher, my self D．A dreamer

B

For Wu Jia, a 14-year-old student from Guangdong province, building blocks and model cars—toys with which he used to happily play —are no longer attractive．

An iPad, which he bought with his hongbao a year ago, now occupies his spare time．

He normally uses the device （设备） to go online and play games once a week when he returns home from school． "The iPad and iPhone are the most popular distractions among my classmates," he said．

Just like Wu, Chinese children, especially those living in cities, are developing a strong interest in high-tech electronic devices, analysts have discovered．

"If we look around, children are borrowing iPads and iPhones from their parents．They turn out to be quick learners and have much fun with their new favorite 'toys,'" said Xiong Xiaokun, an analyst at CIConsulting．

"Electronic toys and devices, including iPads and smart-phones, are eating up an increasingly large share in the Chinese 'toy' market," Xiong said．"Traditional children's presents such as dolls and toy care have encountered a strong challenge．"

What is happening in China now has already emerged in the United States．According to a survey conducted by Nielsen, about half of US children, aged between6 and 12, wanted an iPad as the No 1 present last Christmas．The Nintendo Wii, iPod Touch, iPad Mini and iPhone are the top four children's dream gifts, the survey revealed （透露）．

35．What toys do children used to play with?

A．The Nintendo Wii． B．iPads．

C．iPhones． D．building blocks．

36．Why do Chinese children like to use the high-tech electronic devices?

A．For fun． B．For study． C．For showing off． D．For business．

37．What is happening to the children in the US?

A．They want to play with traditional toys．

B．They want iPads as Christmas gifts most．

C．They want to study hard．

D．They want to save money for their parents．

38．What can we know from the sixth paragraph?

A．Traditional toys will be replaced by the electronic toys．

B．Traditional toys will continue be popular．

C．Traditional toys have met great challenges．

D．iPads and smart-phones will disappear in the Chinese 'toy' market．

"What should I do with the diary I've kept for so many years?"

Post your 'advice below, the best responses will be published next Friday．

I've been keeping a journal since I was 18 and I'm now 65．I have more than 80 notebooks in a big box．I don't want my children embarrassed at them when I die, But I can't bring myself, yet, to burn the case．My journals are still part of me．Might my grandchildren, with a bit more distance, be interested? Or is there some way I could turn them into something creative? I'm thinking art, not a book．
