“Come on,Izz. You can do it. Move those arms. Kick." My 7-year-old daughter was doing laps,and I wanted her to keep up with the other swimmers. She couldn’ t.
Neither could she hear my frustration,because the swimming club would not allow parents on the desk(甲板) . Parents waited in a glass balcony overlooking the pool.
When she came up to greet me,ready to be hugged,I lit into her. “Why didn't you try to finish the lap? How hard could it have been?”
My daughter drew away from me. “You can't even swim,” she said.
She was right. I couldn't swim.
Her words stayed with me. I asked myself: What does it take to learn something new? Did it help when someone criticized me?
I was pushing my daughter to do something I had never tried.
Before next week's lesson arrived,I attended a swimming class for adults. When my daughter went to do laps,I went to the smaller pool at the other end of the club.
Each week,Isabelle and I came up from our separate pools tired but happy. We shared what we had done,hugged,and went out for a treat.
At the end of the eight-week course,I proudly showed her my first swimming badge(徽章) . “You can do laps with me now,” said my daughter.
No,not yet. I had made it across the pool,but couldn't finish its length. My arms had felt like lead,and my legs like rubber.
More important than the swimming badge,though,I had earned a “parenting badge." I had rediscovered the thrill and frustration of trying something new. My child was doing this every day — at the pool,at school,at home. Now,so was her mom.
21. How did the author feel when she watched her daughter swimming?
A. Upset. B. Proud.
C. Afraid. D. Nervous.
22. When Isabelle came up to greet the author,the author.
A. hugged her tightly

I really think the way most young people use modem technology are almost antisocial. Last week my cousin came over for the dinner. She’s seventeen and addicting to her mobile phone. All through dinner she was on her phone,send messages and chatting online. We were both there having a conversation,but she was in her own little world. It was quite strange and annoyed. When I asked her about it,her reply was “Well,I need to stay touch with my friends”. However,I'm really not convinced that this way of using technological really does this. After all,there had lots of us there together but he wasn’t in touch with us at all!

America used to have a strong college education system for prison inmates (prisoners) . It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women in prison by helping them go straight when they got out.
Those taxpayer-supported college classes were put to an end in the 1990s. But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state,setting off a fierce new debate.
A number of lawmakers in New York have promised to kill Cuomo's proposal (提議) .
Cuomo says reintroducing taxpayer-funded college classes in New York's prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes.
“You pay $60,000 for a prison cell for a year，”Cuomo responded. “You put a guy away for 10 years,and that5 s $600,000. Right now,chances are almost half. Once he's set free,he's going to come right back."
Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $5,000 a year per person. He argues ,“It's a small amount of money if it keeps that inmate from bouncing back into prison."
But even some members of the governor's own party hate this idea. State Assemblywoman Addie Russell,whose upstate district includes three state prisons,says taxpayers just won't stand for inmates getting a free college education,while middle-class families struggle to pay for their kids,college fees.
“That is the vast majority of feedback(反饋) that I'm also getting from my constituents (選民） she says. “You know, ‘ Where is the relief for the rest of the population who obey the law? ’ ”
“I was very disappointed that the policy had been changed,” says Gerald Gaes,who served as an expert on college programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the 1990s. In 1994,President Clinton stopped federal student aid programs for inmates.
Gaes says research shows that college classes actually save taxpayers’ money over time,by reducing the number of inmates who break the law and wind up back in those expensive prison cells.
“It is cost-effective,” he says. “Designing prisons that way will have a long-term benefit for New York State."
32. The underlined word “rehabilitate” probably means “ ”. ,
A. let people know more about prisoners
B. help someone have a normal life again
C. allow prisoners to experience the world
D. encourage someone to help other people
33. What is the debate about?
A. Lawmakers,rights in New York.
B. College classes for New York's citizens.
C. Higher education in New York's prisons.
D. Punishments given to New York's criminals.
34. Cuomo does the calculations to prove .
A. almost half of prisoners are likely to come back into prison
B. college classes for inmates can save taxpayers’ money
C. the costs of running prisons in the US are on the rise
D. it is very difficult to reduce the number of inmates
35. Most of Russell's constituents believe Cuomo's proposal .
A. is unfair to middle-class families
B. will benefit citizens obeying laws
C. will be useless for improving prisons
D. is based on most taxpayers’ feedback

Many studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best. Similarly,students’ performance varies in what types of test they are given. Therefore,it may seem reasonable to give students the chance to choose how they wish to be tested. However,this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material. Teachers are already very busy,creating tests,grading,coming up with interesting lesson plans,teaching classes,not to mention holding parent teacher conferences,and creating new tests would only add to their burden.
Another strain teachers would have to face is how to grade fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways. For instance,how do you compare a student who wrote an essay on one small topic of a book to another who answered every multiple choice question correctly over the entire book? Maybe the student who wrote the essay only read a small part of it in depth enough so that they could write the essay. But perhaps the student taking the multiple choice test only had a base understanding of the book and couldn’t write a critical essay about something in it.
This is not to say,however,that students should be graded in the same manner every time. This would be equally unfair as again,different students test better when assessed by different methods. Therefore,teachers need to be sure to give essay tests,multiple choice tests,as well as other multi-media(多媒體） projects to assess their students,just not over the same material. This gives students the opportunity to show off their abilities and make up for tasks that they’ re not good at. For instance,a student that is a bad test taker could make up for their grade with a well-performed project. Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities. As such,students could be allowed to choose the method in which they wish to complete their extra credit. If a student is a strong essay writer,they could write an extra essay to make up for their poor test grade. This would allow students to compensate for poor grades in areas in which they aren’ t as accomplished.
28. We know from Paragraph 1 that if students could choose how they are tested,teachers would .
A. have more work
B. lose their authority C. change their lesson plans
D. prepare more testing materials
29. What does the underlined word “strain” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Possibility. B. Difficulty.
C. Approach. D. Hesitation.
30. The author writes the last paragraph in order to.
A. draw a conclusion B. offer suggestions
C. predict the future D. prove his point
31. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A textbook.
B. An announcement.
C. A news report.
D. An education magazine.
