I
had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming
to see me.I was a
new
21
, 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.
22
he
was
a
bright
student.
He
discussed
adult
subjects with nearly
adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected
his
23
.
So
when
Simon’s
mother
entered
the
room,
my
palms(手掌心
)
were
sweating.
I
was
completely
24
for
her
lisses
on
both
my
cheeks.
“I
came
to thank
you,” she said, surprising me beyond
speech.
25
me,
Simon had become a different person. He
talked of how he
26
me,
he
had
began
to
make
friends,
and
for
the
first
time
in
his
twelve
years,
he
had
27
spent an afternoon at a
friend’s house. She wanted
to tell me
how grateful she was for the
28
I had
nurtured(
培养
)
in
her son. She kissed me again and left.
.
.
.
.
I sat, stunned
(
惊呆
), for about half an
hour,
29
what had just
happened. How
did I make such a life-changing difference to that
boy
without
30
knowing
it?
What
I
finally
came
to
31
was
one
day,
several
months
before,
when
some
students
were
32
reports
in
the
front
of
the
class,
Jeanne
spoke
33
,
and
to
encourage
her
to
raise
her
voice,
L
had
sai,
“Speak
up.
Simon’s
the
expert
on
this.
He
is
the
34
one
you
have to
convince, and he can’t hear you in the
35
of the
room.” That was it. From that day on,
Simon had sat up straighter, paid
more
attention,
36
more,
and
became
happy.
And
it
was
all
because
he
37
to
be
the
last
kid
in
the
last
row.
The
boy
who
most
needed
38
was the one who took the
last seat that day.
It
taught
me
the
most
39
lesson
over
the
years
of
my
teaching
career,
and
I’m thankful that it
came
40
and positively.
A small
kindness can indeed make a
difference.

选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Wealth starts with a goal saving a
dollar at a time. Call it the piggy
bank
strategy(
策略
). There are
lessons in that time-honored coin-saving
container.
Any
huge
task
seems
easier
when
reduced
to
baby
steps.
I
f
you
wished
to
climb
a
12,000-foot
mountain,
and
could
do
it
a
day
at
a
time,
you
would
only
have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a
year. If you want
to
take
a
really
nice
trip
in
10
years
for
a
special
occasion,
to
collect
the
$$15,000 cost, you have to save $$3.93 a day. If you
drop that into a
piggy bank and then
once a year put $$1,434 in a savings account at 1%
interest rate after-tax, you will have
your trip money.
When
I
was
a
child,
my
parents
gave
me
a
piggy
bank
to
teach
me
that,
if I wanted something,
I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy
banks
with
children,
but
in
many
countries,
the
little
containers
are
also
popular
with
adults.
Europeans
see
a
piggy
bank
as
a
sign
of
good
fortune
.
.
.
.
and wealth. Around the
world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New
Year’s Day brings good luck and
financial success. Ah, but you
have to
put
something
in
it.
Why is a
pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an
elephant bank,
which is bigger and
holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before
modern
banking and credit instruments,
people saved money at home, a few coins
at
a
time
dropped
into
a
jar
or
dish.
Potters(
制
陶
工
)
made
these
inexpensive
containers
from
an
orange-
colored
clay(
黏土)
called
“pygg,”
and folks saved coins in pygg Middle
English word
for
pig
was
“pigge”.
While
the
Saxons
pronounced
pygg,
referring
to
the
clay,
as
“pug”,
eventually
the
two
words
changed
into
the
same
pronunciation,
sounding the
“i”
as in pig
or piggy. As
the word became
less
associated with the orange clay and more with the
animal, a clever
potter fashioned a
pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting
children
and adults. The piggy bank was
born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the
money, bringing
in
a
sense
of
seriousness
into
savings.
While
piggy
banks
teach
children
the wisdom of
saving, adults often need to relearn childhood
lessons.
Think about the things in life
that require large amounts of money---
college education, weddings, cars,
medical care, starting a business,
buying a home, and fun stuff like great
trips. So when you have money,
take off
the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
41. What is the piggy bank
strategy?
A.
Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B. Setting a
goal before making a travel plan.
C. Aiming high even when
doing small things.
D. Putting aside a little money
regularly for future use.
42.
Why did the writer’s parents give him a
piggy bank as a gift?
A. To
delight him with the latest fashion.
B. To encourage
him to
climb mountains.
C.
To
help
him
form
the
habit
of
saving.
D.
To
teach
him
English
pronunciation.
43.
Wh
at
does
then
underlined
word
“something”(Paragraph
3)
most
probably
refer to?
A.
Money
B. Gifts
C.
Financial
success
D.
Good luck
44. The piggy ban
originally was _________.
A.
a
potter’s
instrument
B.
a
cheap
clay
container
C.
an
animal-shaped

dish

children

enjoyment

B
Here is some must-know information from
a handbook on how people behave
in
doing business in some countries.
In
Brazil
Brazilians
are
warm
and
friendly.
They
often
stand
close
when
talking
and
it is common for them to touch the
person on the shoulder. People often
greet
each
other
(particularly
women)
with
light
cheek
kisses.
Schedules
tend
to
be
flexible,
with
business
meetings
sometimes
starting
later
than
planned.
But
to
be
safe,
be
on
time.
Meals
can
stretch
for
hours
—there’s
no
such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches
also can start in the
mid to late
afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-
to-face
communication over mails or
phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet
and often also greet each other
with a
small, polite bow. Business cards should be
offered and received
with
two
hands.
Arriving
late
is
considered
disrespectful.
So
be
on
time.
Efficiency(
效
率
)
is
the
goal,
so
meetings
and
dealings
often
are
fast-paced. Singaporeans
are direct in their discussions, even when the
subject
is
about
money.
Rank
is
important
and
authority
is
respected.
This
determines both people interact in
meetings. For example, people avoid
disagreeing outright with someone with
a higher rank.
In the United Arab
Emirates
In the UAE, status is
important, so the most senior or oldest should be
greeted first with their titles. The
handshake seems to be longer than
elsewhere.
So,
do
not
pull
away
the
handshake.
Women
should
cover
themselves when it
comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from
neck
to
elbows(
肘部
) and down to the
knees. People do not avoid entertaining
in
their
homes,
but
they
also
hold
business
meals
at
restaurants.
Touching
or passing food or eating with your
left hand is to be avoided. When
meetings
are
one-
to-one,
if
your
host
offers
you
coffee,
you
should
refuse.
It
might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition.
Coffee should only be
accepted if it is
always set out or presented.
In
Switzerland
The
Swiss
tend
to
be
formal
and
address
each
other
by
last
name.
They
also
are respectful of private lives. You
should be careful not to ask about
.
.
.
.
personal
topics. Punctuality (
守时
) is
vital, something that comes from
a deep
respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or
event a few
minutes
early
to
be
safe.
They
also
have
clear
structure
in
their
companies.
Higher-ups
make
the
final
decisions,
even
if
others
might
disagree.
Neat,
clean
dress
is
expected.
The
Swiss
follow
formal
table
manners.
They
also
keep their hands
visible at the table and their elbows off the
table. It
is polite to finish the food
on your plate.
46. The passage is
mainly about ________.
A.
communication
types
B.
the
workplace
atmosphere
C. customs and social manners
D.
living conditions and standards
47. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing
with their boss?
A. They put efficiency in the first
place.
B. They
dislike face-to-face communication.
C. They want to finish
meetings as quickly as possible.
D. They are supposed to
obey the person of a higher rank.
48.
In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if
it is offered?
A.
When
greeting
seniors.
B.
When
meeting
the
host alone.
C.
When
attending
a
presentation.
dining with business
partners.
49.
In
which
country
do
people
care
about
where
to
put
their
hands
at
the
dinner table?
A.
In
Brazil.
B. In Singapore.
C.
In
the
United
Arab
Emirate.
D.
In Switzerland.
C
Last
summer,
two
nineteenth-century
cottages
were
rescued
from
remote
farm
fields
in
Montana,
to
be
moved
to
an
Art
Deco
building
in
San
Francisco.
The
houses
were
made
of
wood.
These
cottages
once
housed
early
settlers as they worked the dry Montana
soil; now they hold Twitter
engineers.
The
cottages
could
be
an
example
of
the
industry’
s
odd
love
affair
with
“low
technology,”
a
concept
associated
with
the
natural
world,
and
with
old-school
craftsmanship
(
手艺
)
that
exists
long
before
the
Internet
era. Low technology
is not virtual (
虚拟的
)
—
so, to take advantage of
it,
Internet
companies
have
had
to
get
creative.
The
rescued
wood
cottages,
fitted
by
hand
in
the
late
eighteen-hundreds,
are
an
obvious
example,
but
