ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get 21 looking like it does today. we 22 on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a 23 built rock wall. the front of the house though is another story 24 instead of a wall along the sidewalk the rocks appear to be just 25 onto the dirt as if 26 were in a hurry to finish.we did the best we could with what we had to 27 with and called this area our “rock garden”. 28 we had leftover flowers or plants, denise or i would stick them out front, just to bring some 29 to the area.last summer i had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little 30 that i could not immediately identify. i knew i didnt plant it and denise claimed that she didnt 31 . we decided to let it continue growing until we could 32 what it was.weeks passed and as i made my way back to the 33 plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. it was spindly（細(xì)長(zhǎng)的） looking with a tall skinny stalk（細(xì)小的徑）and only one head on it. 34 i pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds（野草）, i noticed 35 . the sunflower had not started 36 i saw the stalk begin. it actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.thats when i realized that if a tiny little sunflower didnt let a big rock stand in its 37 of developing, we too have the capability of doing the same thing. once our environment begins to see that we 38 ourselves like that little sunflower, we can get the same nourishment as well.stand tall like the sunflower and be 39 who and what you are

have never practiced ever since. a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. he can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears.one explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as cinderella and goldilocks. we not only learn but overlearn.the multiplication tables(乘法口訣表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.the law of overlearning explains why cramming(突擊學(xué)習(xí))for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. by cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. a little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.41.whats the main idea of paragraph 1?a.children have a better memory than grown-ups.b. people remember well what they learned in childhoodc. poem reading is a good way to learn words.d. stories for children are easy to remember.42. the author explains the law of overlearning by _.a. presenting research findingsb. using examplesc. making a comparisond. setting down general rules43. according to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _.a. a skill to deal with math problemsb. a special case of crammingc.a result of overlearningd. a basic step towards advanced studies44. what is the authors opinion on cramming?a. its helpful only in a limited way.b. it leads to failure in college exams.c. its possible to result in poor memory.d. it increases students learning interest. baustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country. the new measures were released by the australian department of tertiary education, skills, jobs and workplace relations in september and will take effect in mid-2012. as a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in australia has been reduced. language requirements for overseas students have also been eased. also, overseas students receiving a higher education in australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic ielts requirement. this change will definitely make australia a more attractive destination for chinese students planning to study overseas, says wang lan, a consultant from education international cooperation group (eic), a beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas. however, in the past few years, many of wangs student clients(客戶) could not start studies in australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. the change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in australia, wang says. a 22-year-old female student surnamed li, in beijing, who is planning to do herpostgraduate studies in australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago. according to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. this is a relief for my parents, li says. she also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans. i believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when i return to china, she says. gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by eic.45. whats the main idea of the passage?a. language requirement for overseas students have been eased in australia. b. australia is a most attractive place for students in china. c. more students will work in australia after their graduation. d. australia widens window of opportunity for international

playing baseball. shay asked, “do you think theyll let me play?” shays father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence. shays father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if shay could play, not expecting much. the boy looked around and said, “were losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).i guess he can be on our team and well try to put him in to bat in the final inning. shay struggled over to the teams bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. the boys saw the fathers joy at his son being accepted. in the bottom of the eighth inning, shays team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. in the top of the final inning, shay put on a glove and played in the field. even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. in the bottom of the final inning, shays team scored again. now, shay was scheduled to be next at bat. would they let shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? surprisingly, shay was given the bat. everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. the first pitch (投) came and shay missed. the pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards shay. as the pitch came in , shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. the pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, the audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “shay, run to first! ”never in his life had shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked. everyone shouted, “runtosecond!” catching his breath, shay awkwardly ran towards second. by the time shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitchers intentions and he toointentionally threw the ball high and far over the third basemans head. all were screaming，“shay，shay，shay，all the way shay.” shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “shay, run to third.” as shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “shay, run home！”shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team. that day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. shay didnt make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home
