The snow started to fall several hours before her labor began－ a few flakes first, in the dull gray late－ afternoon sky, and then wind－ driven swirls around the edges of their wide front porch﹙门廊﹚. He stood by her side at the window, watching
Sharp gusts of snow billow, then swirl and drift to the ground. All around the neighborhood, lights came on, and the naked branches of the trees turned white.
After dinner he built a fire, going out for wood he had piled against the garage the previous autumn. The air was bright and cold against his face, and the snow in the driveway was already halfway to his knees. He gathered logs, shaking off their soft white caps and carrying them inside. The kindling﹙因火柴﹚ caught fire immediately, and ha sat for a time at the stove, cross－legged, adding logs, watching the flames leap, and feeling sleepy. Outside, snow continued to fall quietly through the darkness, bright and thick. By the time he rose and looked out of the window, their car had become a soft white hill on the edge of the street. Already his footprints in the driveway had filled and disappeared.
He brushed ashes from his hands and sat on the sofa beside his wife, her feet propped on pillow, her swollen ankles crossed, a copy of Dr.Spock balanced on her belly. Absorbed, she licked her index finger absently each time she turned a page. Her hands were slender, her finger short and sturdy, and she bit her bottom lip lightly, intently, as she read. Watching her, he felt a rush of love and wonder: that she was his wife, that their baby, due in just three weeks, would soon be born. Their first child, this would be. They had been married just a year.
She looked up, smiling, when he tucked the blanket around her legs.“You know, I have wondering what －it－ is like,” she said.“Before we are born, I mean. It is too bad we can not remember.” She opened her robe and pulled up the sweater she wore underneath, revealing a belly as round and hard as a melon. She ran her hand across its smooth surface, firelight playing across her skin, casting reddish gold onto her hair.“Do you suppose it is like being inside a great lantern? The book says light permeates﹙渗透﹚ my skin, and that the baby can already see.”
“I do not know,” he said.
She laughed.“Why not?” she asked. “You are the doctor.”
“I am just an orthopedic surgeon,” he reminded her.“I could tell you the ossification pattern for fetal﹙胎儿的﹚ bones, but that is about it.”He lifted her foot, both delicate and swollen inside the light blue hands, and began to massage it gently. Her breathing filled the quiet room, and her foot warmed his hands, In pregnancy she seemed to him beautiful but fragile, fine blue veins faintly visible through her pale white skin.

On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,
36 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 38 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 39 with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.
40 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 42 could happen in a disaster . All over the world people
43 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week
in a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45 had been received and sorted.
As 46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us 47 and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 49 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 52 we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 54 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you 55 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan

So you think your teacher hates you? You're not the only one. Teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes, just like any two people who don't get along. After all, teachers aren't perfect.
However, most of the time, there are lots of reasons why you and your teacher might not be getting along. So try to figure out if your teacher really dislikes you, or if something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
* Is your teacher's anger aimed at you personally, or at something specific you've been doing ?
All teachers have something that they strongly dislike. Maybe your teacher hates it when people whisper in class. If you try hard not to do these things, the situation might get better.
* Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher being rough on the whole class?
l. The writer thinks that it ________that a teacher and a student don't get along.
A. causes no harm B. is unusual
C. often happens D. is dangerous
2. The purpose of the four questions in the passage is to________.
A. help students find out the reasons why don't get along wit
h their teachersB. help teachers find out the reasons why don't get along with their students
C .help students understand why it’s good to get along with their teachers
D. help teachers understand why it’s good to get along with their students

C篇：1.C。 第一段说如果你觉得老师不喜欢你，你可不是唯一的一个，师生之间有时候会有个性冲突，就像任何两个人关系处不好一样；毕竟，老师也有缺点。由此判断，作者认为师生之间处不好关系是一件很自然也是经常会有的事情。
2．A。 本题首先要从全文判断出作者是为学生所写。第二段作者说绝大多数时候，师生之间处不好关系的原因会有所不同，多种多样，因此你需要弄清到底是老师真地不喜欢你呢还是其它原因。接下来说这儿有几个问题，问问你自己吧，由行文逻辑可知作者提供这些问①Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. 有保证的薪水，史密斯认为，是努力工作的敌人，在那个时刻，学院很懒，没有竞争力，学生们也很懒。
②Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education. 因此，是个人而不是政府，应该向大学教育买单。
③Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.双方都想和平，但是哪一方都感觉没有能力来制止这场冲突。
④Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress .不幸的是，只要父母和孩子认为自己知道得比对方多得话，他们就永远为战斗下去，不会取得任何进展。
⑤The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. 孩子接触谈话，阅读，读书和写作越多，对于他们来说成为主动的读书人就越容易。
⑥There's nothing wrong with being sensitive, but if you react to criticism differently than most kids, this could be a factor in which you think your teacher doesn’t like you. 敏感没什么，但是如果你对批评表现得比别人格外不同的话，这可能就是老师不喜欢你的一个因素了。
