During high school, he taught me more than any oth

11、er teacher had been able to.He developed unusual methods of teaching. He did not give us homework on the first day and have it due the next; instead, he gave us a homework schedule for the term and left it up to us to remember to do it. By doing so, he prepared us for life after high school, where i

12、t would be up to us to make our own work schedule.Mr. Sand was a family man. He made use of whatever time we had left in class to show us his latest vacation videos or his childrens sports videos. It was nice to see a man who balanced his family and his career so nicely in a world where a broken hom

13、e is the average home.Mr. Sand always encouraged us to get out of our little close-minded society of Wethersfield and explore the cultures of the world.

25、ey need to pay _ A12B9C6D27CA bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.The cost of producing a new -for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for

26、 it, so we will market it at 1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to 1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF

27、 all over it.Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesnt. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder

28、 (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper. The real danger starts when unnecessary things become bargains. Many people just cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I

29、heard of a man who bought an electric saw（電鋸） as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “Ive had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for

30、 120, reduced from 400; and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for 600, reduced from 900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted 720. She feels as though she had made 580. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.Some peo

31、ple buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didnt know where to store it until they realized that their toilet was

32、 a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall f

33、or this trick, it serves them right. 28. What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Good quality.B. Low price.C. Curiosity. D. Newness.29. Which word best describes the language style of the passage? A. Polite. B. Foolish.C. Humorous. D. Serious.30. How does the author

34、feel about 1p OFF a product? A. Its a gift for poor people.B. Its an insult to shoppers. C. Its a bargain worth trying.D. Its a real reduction in price. 31. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Bargains are things people dont really need. B. Bargains are often real cheap products.

35、 C. Bargains help people make a living. D. Bargains play tricks on people. DThe famed soprano(女高音)Jenny Lind had plenty of talent and determination. And when she came to America in 1850 she had more than enough publicity. Her promoter was the biggest showman(演出經(jīng)理人) of them allP.T. Barnum.Eager to ri

36、se above his reputation as a promoter of sideshows , Barnum had risked his entire fortune on the singer that he had never heard or seen. He saw to it that the risk paid off. When she arrived in New York, her admirers surrounded Jenny Lind. By midnight, when she arrived at her hotel, a crowd of 30,00

37、0 had gathered just to get a look at her. At one oclock, a band of 130 musicians came to sing for her.Tickets for her first American concert were in such demand that they were auctioned off(拍賣). The first ticket went to a hat maker named Genin who paid 225 for it and got several days worth of fame i

38、n the bargain . At the concert 7000 shouting people crowded into Castle Garden to hear Jenny Lind sing. She received 10,000all of which she gave to New York charities. She repeated her success in Philadelphia, Washington, Richmond, Charleston, and Baltimore.In Baltimore something happened that may h

39、ave made Jenny Lind decide that things had gotten out of hand. She was on the balcony of her hotel, bowing to the masses below when her shawl fell. Instead of returning it, the crowd fought over the shawl, tearing it to shreds and pocketing the pieces as souvenirs. Soon afterward she backed out of h

45、e choice. Colleges compare students from the same high school with the same measuring stick since they read all the applications together.

That person was my stepmother. I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia

50、. My father 41 me to her with these words: I would like you to meet the fellow who is 42 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 43 than tomorrow morning. My stepmother walked over to me, 44 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then

51、 she looked at my father and replied, You are 45 . This is not the worst boy at all, 46 the smartest one who hasnt yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm. That statement began a (n) 47 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 48 as a bad boy. My step

52、mother changed all that. She changed many things. She 49 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors.
