B．Concerned.C．Scared. D．Uninterested.答案：B解析：推理推断题。依据第五段中的“Onefrighteningcase”和最终一段最终一句“Takingthisopportunityawayfromthechildwithoutgivingbackisahugeharmtothechildandthecommunityatlarge.”等信息，可以看出作者对在家教化孩子感到担忧。故选B。Ⅱ.七选五Changeisscary.__1__Itcangohandinhandwiththefearthatwemighthurtsomeoneelseifwethinkaboutourselves.Thetruthisthatyou'resomuchmorecourageousthanyougiveyourselfcreditforandfarstrongerthanyourealize.Herearesomewaysthatyoucanusetohelpyourselfmaketheprocessofcreatingchangemoremanageable.Makechangeintosmallbitesizepieces.__2__Rememberthataslongasyouattempttotakeregularpracticetowardsyourgoal,suchaseatingmorehealthilyeveryday,orwalkingtwentyminutesaday,you'reheadingintherightdirectiontomakechanges.Formahabitofkeepingadiaryeveryday.Writingajournaleverynightbeforegoingtobedcaneffectivelyhelpyoucopewiththeemotionalimpactofthechangeprocess.Gotograbapenorpencilandrememberajournalisnotforbeingneatandtidywithgoodspelling.__3__.Restisessentialtosuccess.Havearestandtaketimeouttobuildyourenergy.__4__Ifwedon'tgiveourselvestimetorest,wejustendupburningoutbytheconstantstrivingandworry.Aswedon'thavetheenergytokeepgoing,wehavetogiveup！__5__Justacceptit!I'msorrytosaythatunlesssomepeoplearereallysecureinthemselvesandtrulyhappyintheirownlife,they'renevergoingtolikeyourchanges.Thishasnothingtodowithwhethertheyloveyouornot.Theyarejustforself­preservation!Therefore,givethemalittletimetoadjustandgetusedtoit.A．Itisastepintotheunknown.B．It'snotbeinglazytohavetimeout.C．Nooneelseisgoingtolikeyourchanges.D．Don'ttrytoeattheelephantinonesitting.E．Creatingchangeisaboutbuildingyourcharacter.F．Keeprepeatingyoursmallstepsoverandoveragain.G．It'saprivateplacewhereyoucanspeakoutyourinnerthoughts.文章教会我们怎样变更，通过什么样的方式去变更。1．A解析：由Changeisscary.__1__Itcangohandinhandwiththefearthatwemighthurtsomeoneelseifwethinkaboutourselves.可知，变更是很吓人的，假如我们只考虑自己我们很可能就损害了别人，所以变更可能是未知的，所以可以推出A。2．D解析：由Makechangeintosmallbitesizepieces.可知，变更要从小事做起，所以D选项“不要试图一顿吃进去一头大象”正确。3．G解析：前文是讲养成写日记的习惯，日记是一个私人的空间，所以G符合题意。4．B解析：由前文的Havearestandtaketimeouttobuildyourenergy.可知，休息可以养好你的精力，所以我们休息并不是懒散，所以选B。5．C解析：由Justacceptit！可知，没有人会喜爱你的变更，所以我们要接受，故选C。Ⅲ.完形填空Atmydaughter'srecentgraduation,aspeakerkeptrepeating,“Youcandoanythingwithadegreeinphilosophy.”Tothat,Ithoughtyoucandoanythingwiththeright__1__.Ididn'thavea__2__jobuntilIwas27.WhenIwashired,Iwasbasically__3__.Mycarhadbrokendown.Iwaslivingwithtwootherpeopleandsleepingonacouch.MyfamilyandfriendsthoughtIwasgoing__4__.Ididn'tfeelthatwaythough.Iwasn'tdoingwell__5__.Sure,friendsofminegotmarriedandboughthouses.Butneitherofthosechoices__6__me.Takingtheroad__7__traveledispartofbeinganentrepreneur(创业者).Iwantedto__8__mydream,whichwastoworkwithmyhandsandbecreative.Iwantedtobemyownboss.Atthetime,Iwas__9__toyanimalsandsellingthematstreetfairs.Itwasn'teasy,butIstayedtruetomyself.Iwas__10__andhardworking.Iknowthosewerethequalitiesthatledmetoget__11__atmyfirstjob.Sodon'tgiveuphope.OneSunday,IreadanarticleaboutatoycompanycalledWorldsofWonder.IknewIcouldmakeabetterteddybearthantheonetheywere__12__，althoughIhaddesignedjustafewcuddlytoysforanothercompany.Thenextday,Ivisitedthecompany'sofficesinpersonandtoldthemtheyneededme.Tomysurprise,they__13__tointerviewme,becausetheycouldtellIwasenthusiastic.Manyofusdon't__14__newthingsbecausewe'resurewedon'thavetheskills.Butfrommyexperience,it'sfarmore__15__tohavetherightattitude.Almosteverythingcanbetaught.Areyouareadyandwillingstudent?本文作者依据自己找寻工作的亲身经验，告知我们对于工作，拥有正确的看法要重要得多。1．A.direction
