He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach. I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers－that they make money from the misfortune of others. “I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me.” Be honest. What do you make?” I wish he hadn’t asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him a lesson. You want to know what I make? I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best? I make parents tremble in fear when I call them: I hope I haven’t called at a bad time. I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today. Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you?” And it was the bravest act I have ever seen. I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be. You want to know what I make? I make kids wonder. I make them question. I make them criticise. I make them think. I make them apologise and mean it. I make them write, write, write. And then I make them read. I teach them to solve math problems that they once thought impossible. I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.

A growing number of workers at Google Inc., Facebook Inc. and other employers are trading in their sit-down desks for standing ones, saying they feel more comfortable and energized. They also are motivated by medical reports saying that sitting for too long leads to increased health risks. A standing desk sits high off the floor so a worker can either stand at it or sit on a high stool to use it. Officials at Palo Alto-based Facebook say a number of employees asked about standing desks after news articles were published about the health risks of sitting all day. The stories cited medical studies that tied excessive sitting to increased obesity and other health problems because of factors including a drop in physical activity. A 2010 study by the American Cancer Society found that women who sat more than six hours a day were 37% more likely to die prematurely than women who sat for less than three hours, while the early-death rate for men was 18% higher. The American College of Cardiology released a study in January that found increased mortality (死亡率) among people who sat longer at home than those who didn't. No one seems to compile statistics on the standing-desk trend. But anecdotal reports suggest Silicon Valley is embracing the movement. Facebook officials say they have seen an upsurge in requests for standing desks to five to eight a week with a total of between 200 and 250 deployed (配置) at the company of more than 2,000 employees. Facebook also is trying out a treadmill station ─ where a worker can walk or run on a treadmill while tapping at a computer. Google spokesman Jordan Newman said that 'many employees at Google opt for standing desks, and we offer them as part of our wellness program' though he said he didn't know the exact number. Greg Hoy, 39 years old, asked for a standing desk shortly after joining Facebook seven months ago as a design recruiter. 'I don't get the 3 o'clock slump anymore,' he said. 'I feel active all day long.' 1.The underlined word “motivated” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by . A．frightened B．inspired C．missed D．discouraged 2.According to paragraph 3, we can know that . A．a drop in physical activity was the only reason why excessive sitting caused increased obesity. B．women who sat longer were more likely to die prematurely according to a 2010 study by American College of Cardiology C．according to the study, the early-death rate for men was 18% higher than that for women. D．the mortality among people who didn’t sat long at home was lower than that among people who did. 3.According to paragraph 5, which of the following statements is true about a treadmill station ? A．is a computer that a worker can take along when he walks or runs B．has been tried out by Facebook and now is very popular with other companies C．is a place where workers can exercise while working. D．is a treadmill on which workers can run or walk only after work 4.The passage mainly talks about . A．sitting for too long leads to increased health risks B．standing desks have replaced sit-down ones in Facebook Inc. C．more and more workers choose standing desks instead of sit-down ones D．many employees at Google opt for standing desks
I sometimes wonder if old Finchley has the right personality to be a research scientist. He keeps asking when he’ll be coming back. After all, it was his own fault. Nobody tries out what has just been invented on themselves any more but Finchley. Well, he must have pumped about a thousand cc into himself before I noticed he was clearly becoming smaller. It was funny watching him, because his clothes remained the same in size. They simply piled up around him so that he looked like a small boy in his father’s clothes. But he kept getting smaller and smaller. As my colleague Dawson and I watched him, he disappeared! All we could see was Finchley’s clothes on the floor. They looked so strange, because the lab coat was on top, shirt and trousers inside and, I suppose, underclothes inside again. It gave me a strange feeling, and I think Dawson was a bit shaken, too. Dawson was sitting on his chair in front of a microscope he’d been using to examine a family of mites(螨). He looked through the scope kind of absently again, and was nearly scared to lose awareness when he found old Finchley waving back from the other end. It seems as if Finchley had taken a free ride on a dust mite and landed on the land of the mite family. Of course, we didn’t know till Finchley told us later. But anyhow, as I said, Dawson nearly passed out. He jumped off his chair and pointed at the microscope, too shocked to speak. 1.It can be inferred that Finchley, Dawson and the writer have possible invented . A．a machine to make people small B．a new way to study the family of mites C．a new powerful microscope D．some kind of medicine 2.Finchley disappeared because . A．he tried out what has just invented on himself B．his father’s clothes totally covered him up C．he took something poisonous D．he was changed into a dust mite 3.It can probably be concluded that Finchley . A．will remain tiny all the time B．is a devoted scientist C．is not fit to be a scientist D．passed out there and then 4.It frightened Dawson to see Fincley . A．got out of his scope by accident B．was waving through his scope C．suddenly got lost in his clothes D．gradually disappeared in the lad
Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind: Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together.” Logo mania(品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are? Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants! Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way! 1.The author believes that college girls should . A．try to load up on well-known logos B．find their identity by trying different logos C．choose a logo that suits their age D．use logos to show who they are 2.The second paragraph indicates the importance of . A．getting on well with classmates B．dressing appropriately C．impressing professors D．creating a professional image 3.In which magazine would you most likely find this passage? A．Parents. B．Travel & Leisure C．Business Week. D．Style. 4.The author recommends wearing real pants because . A．real pants can present you with appropriate maturity B．people like real pants better than the other pants C．yoga pants and sweatpants are not so comfortable D．leggings and baggy shirts are too common
Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub. But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes(失礼) for the newcomers. A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs－starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have no waiters－you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths were waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose. Pub culture is designed to promote sociability(社交)in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior. “If you haven’t been to a pub, you haven’t been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers’ rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”. The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order. 1.The culture of pub in Britain is developed to . A．encourage more people to consume drinks B．encourage people to communicate with each other C．form its own character of culture D．attract more tourists to the pubs 2.If you don’t follow the local rules in a pub, . A．you may fail to feel the local culture B．you might get into a dangerous place C．you won’t buy good local drinks D．you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff 3.What may be the best title for the passage? A．Manners in British Local Pubs B．Self-service Pubs in Britain C．British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places D．Local Pub Culture in Britain 4.The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”. A．record B．test C．experience D．taste
