without taking time to reflect, i answered, because someday i might say something that might make a difference in someones life. even though i was sincere, that wasnt a very good answer and my student didnt let it slide. let me get this straight, he said, you went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone? he shook his head as if i were crazy and walked away looking confused. im one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. even though that particular student might no longer wonder why i teach, there are days when i wonder. on those days, i remind myself of the real reasons i teach: its in my blood. my mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. she instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors. teaching is a way to make a difference. if you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. you cant have ripples without a stone. good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and thats what i strive to do. i genuinely love teenagers. i want to share with others what i know and what i have learned through the years. life is full of ups and downs, and if i can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, i want to do so. if theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, i want to do too. teaching isnt for everyone, but i know i made the right career choice.21. why did the student continue to ask the question about the writers being a teacher? a. because the writer was insincere. b. because he thought her answer was unbelievable. c. because the student was naughty. d. because the answer was difficult to understand.22. what do you think of the writer? a. honest. b. stupid. c. conservative. d. polite.23. according to the text, which of the following is not true? a. the writers mother has the greatest influence on her. b. the writers answer made the student confused. c. in the writers opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. d. the writer annoyed the student who asked the question.24. whats the main idea of the text? a. a students silly question. b. a good teacher who likes students. c. the reason why i teach. d. a confused student. beverybody should have some level of first aid ability, because accidents and medical emergencies can happen anywhere at any time. st john first aid courses give you the knowledge and confidence to provide effective first aid whenever its needed.first aid level 1ideal(理想的) for anyone who wants to learn basic first aid or needs to renew their first aid qualification(资格).courses can be held at st john or your workplace.fee: $162(includes gst)duration(持续时间):eight hoursfirst aid level 2includes all course content from first aid level one, plus an additional half day. ideal for special first aiders, health and safety managers and anyone who needs a first aid qualification.fee: $235(includes gst)duration: 12 hourspre-hospital emergency care (phec)advanced training for first aiders who already hold unit standards 6400 and 6402. ideal for people who require advanced first aid skills or a pre-hospital emergency care (phec) qualification for their work.fee: $635(includes gst)duration: three dayschild first aidideal for parents, grandparents and other family caregivers. a recognized qualification for childcare workers.fee: $65(includes gst)duration: four hoursoutdoor first aidfirst aid response for accidents and medical emergencies in the wilderness. for groups of eight or more.duration: one to two days depending on experiencesports first aidfirst aid response for common sporting injuries and medical emergencies. includes acc injury prevention advice.duration: eight hours25. if you want to learn basic first aid at st john, you must _ .a. know a little about first aidb. spend eight hours on the coursec. have a first aid qualification d. take the course at your workplace26. pre-hospital emergency care teaches people _ .a. special first aid skills b. advanced first aid skills c. first aid in childcare d. injury prevention advice27. the main purpose of the text is to _ .a. introduce the courses about first aidb. teach people knowledge of first aidc. change peoples attitude to first aidd. let people renew their first aid qualification c as a recipe for losing weight, taking a slice of chocolate cake at breakfast would seem an unlikely fantasy. a team from tel aviv university found that eating pudding as part of a balanced 600-calorie breakfast that also included proteins and carbohydrates (碳水化合物), could help dieter to lose more weight-and keep it off in the long run. attempting to avoid sweets entirely can create a psychological addiction to these same foods in the long term. so adding desserts to breakfast can control craving(渴望) throughout the rest of the day. over the course of a 32-week-long study, participants, who added desserts to their breakfast lost about 40 pounds more than a group that avoided such foods. whats more, they kept off the pounds longer. a meal in the morning provides energy for the days tasks, aids in brain functioning, and kick-starts the bodys metabolism (新陈代谢), making it decisive to weight loss and maintenance. and breakfast is the meal that most successfully regulates ghrelin(胃饥饿素）, the hormone that increases longer. while the level of ghrelin rises before every meals, it is controlled most effectively at breakfast time. the researchers hoped to determine whether meal time and composition had an influence on weight loss in the short and long term, or whether it was a simple matter of the caloric count.28. according to the passage, the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _. a. the calorie b. the breakfast c. the craving for pudding d. the lost weight29. adding some desserts in your breakfast diet properly will _. a. make you gain more fat b. make you become slim more easily c. help improve your psychological health d. help develop your craving for more delicious food30. through paragraph 5. the author wants to show_ . a. the special function of ghrelin b. some decisive ways of losing weight c. the great importance of breakfast to us d. the nutrition we should take in during the breakfast31. what will the passage develop next?
