Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children．In spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children, Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream．They both wanted to pursue their talent for art．After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement．They would toss a coin．The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother who attended the academy．Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy． Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg．Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation（轰动）．By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works． When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant（胜利的）homecoming．Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him to complete his dream．“And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn．Now you can go to Nuremberg to look for your dream, and I will take care of you．” Tears streaming down his pale face, Albert sobbed, “No．．．no．．．It is too late for me．Look．．．look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands！The bones in every finger have been broken at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis（关节炎）so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush．” To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward．He called his powerful drawing simply “Hands”, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it “The Praying Hands”．The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, let it be your reminder—no one ever makes any success alone！ 1.Why did the two brothers work out the agreement？ A．They were so curious as to make a joke． B．Their family couldn’t afford the academy． C．One of the brothers was supposed to go into mines． D．They wanted to support the other sisters and brothers． 2.The underlined word “whose” in Para．2 refers to _____ ． A．the Durer family’s B．the miners C．Albert’s D．Albrecht’s 3.Which of the following statements is NOT true about Albrecht Durer？ A．He began to earn his living after graduation． B．He did perfectly well at the academy． C．He wanted his brother to go to the academy． D．He created great masterpieces． 4.Which of the following is the correct order of the story？ a．Albrecht went to Nuremberg． b．Albert supported his brother． c．The Durer family held a festive dinner． d．Albrecht drew his brother’s injured hands． e．The brothers tossed a coin． A．b, a, c, d, e B．a, e, c, d, b C．e, a, c, b, d D．e, a, b, c, d 5.What can we learn from the story？ A．One can achieve success simply on his own． B．Any success requires the help of others． C．It’s other people who contribute to one’s success． D．Nobody could succeed without good guidance．

“A very destructive seven-year old child kicked my legs and scratched at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents. Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter. Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly. We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching. Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn. 1.What problem do people ignore in the writer’s opinion? A. The school violence. B. The pressure of students’ learning. C. The right to achieve students’ potential. D. Students’ responsibilities. 2.The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of . A. dissatisfaction B. sympathy C. understanding D. tolerance 3.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 may mean . A. children don’t live with their parents in the same room B. parents care little about children’s life at home C. children spend little time with their parents at home D. parents attempt to establish a good relationship with their children 4.From the last paragraph,we can infer that . A. school can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Children’s behavior at school is worrying people B. Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habit C. There is no point in parents’teaching children at home D. Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing
