Dear Kate,

It's really good to know you are covering for me while I'm away on the training course. Thanks so much. Knowing that you'll be teaching the kids has made me relaxed. I'm sure you'll get on fine with them. I thought I should leave you some notes on a couple of things that are planned for this week, and other advice that will hopefully see you through to next Friday!

• Tuesday: The class is going to visit the Dinosaur Museum. Make sure they take their notebooks and remind them on Monday to bring a packed lunch and the entrance money.

• Thursday: I've promised them they can watch a Disney DVD as a special treat. It's in my locker. There are some worksheets (活頁(yè)練習(xí)題) to go with it. By the way, don't worry about marking them — I'll do it when I'm back.

• You know, the head teacher is on the warpath about being late, so be warned! If you get to school even a minute past 8:15, she's likely to give you a real telling-off.

Seriously, though, you'll have a great week — the kids are wonderful. Don't let Mark and Jack sit together and you shouldn't have any disciplinary (紀(jì)律的) problems! Which reminds me, if you do have any problems, just tell the head. She's very supportive when it comes to discipline. One last thing — could you leave notes on what you do, please?

Best wishes,

Stef

A. To talk about the training course.

Too often in life, we focus on the things we cannot do. Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations, health limitations, family limitations, educational limitations, and so on. Sometimes, we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals. We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life.

Through the Internet, I have recently met an individual (個(gè)人) whom I found to be very inspiring. He has a positive attitude; he focuses on what he can do. To name a few of his accomplishments: he has set a world record, and is in the Guinness Book of World Records; he is an international poet with over 900 publications; he is an advocate (擁護(hù)者) for the disabled; he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week; he is an ambassador (大使) for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation; he has created his own website—http://wheelierecord. Tripod. com/ index. html. And the list could go on!

The individual is Robert M．Hensel. You see, Robert was born spina bifida, a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an influence on the kidneys (腎臟). Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements, yet he has accomplished more than many. His attitude to life is one that, for me, is inspiring! To quote Robert, “I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can.”

Let Robert be a reminder for changing attitudes. Use his motto of not focusing on what you can’t do, but focus on what you can do！

1.What stops us from achieving success according to the author?

A. Negative attitudes B. Constant changes

C. Too high goals D. Various limitations

2.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. A disease B. A disability

C. An attitude D. A story

3.Why has Robert M．Hensel made many achievements in his life?

A. He has never changed his attitude to life.

B. He always looks beyond his strengths.

C. He takes advantage of his disability.

D. He concentrates on what he can do.

4.How does the author support his idea in the text?

A. By offering examples B. By comparing attitudes

C. By analyzing limitations D. By telling stories

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：浙江省山河聯(lián)盟2016-2017學(xué)年高一第二學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

When my son was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival in our town. He didn’t come home at lunch time, phoning instead to tell me he was fine and had found a few days’ work helping out at an exhibit. He turned up for supper as usual however after he finished work.

I asked him how he had managed at lunch and he told me he had made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to return the next day to help with other chores (雜務(wù)).

I was glad he had found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. "Oh, Mom, these are just normal everyday people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something". "Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself," he said.

So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had directed me to. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (連體的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn’t thought this fact was noteworthy(重要的) enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, "Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it’s so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面條) for lunch."

What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.

1.From the first paragraph we know that ______.

A. The author’s son could live on his job at the exhibit

B. The author’s son was good at communicating with others

C. The author’s son disliked meeting his parents at home

D. The author’s son usually made his appearance at supper

2.In the boy’s eyes, the Siamese twins were ______.

A. people who had no suitable clothes to wear

B. good cooks with strange appearance

C. just normal people

D. more friendly and kinder than normal people

3.Which proverb may the author agree with according to the last paragraph?

A. Don’t judge a person by his looks. B. It is a matter of opinion

C. Love me, love my dog. D. It’s never too late to learn.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare ( 兔子) and the tortoise ( 烏龜 ). At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady ( 鎮(zhèn)定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “ Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance ( 堅(jiān)忍不拔的 ), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “ He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.” I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be.

1.The writer argued ( 辯論 )with his son because ______________.

A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares

B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish

C. he tried to teach his son a moral ( 品德 )lesson but the son had totally different opinion

D. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.

2.Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.

A. won the race by his own hard working

B. took a risk ( 冒險(xiǎn) )by agreeing to run a race

C. was not given a fair chance in the race

D. in fact did win the race luckily

3.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.

A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

B. boys who Sonny has run races with before

C. boys who Sonny has never raced with before

D. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again

4.The writer thinks that his generation ( 一代人 )______________.

A. are cleverer than Sonny’s generation

B. have the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generation

C. are more hopeful than Sonny’s generation

D. have different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation
