In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算).
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I... I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
56. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is enough to do the necessary.
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is important to make an effort.
57. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ________.
A. answer their homework questions orally B. grade their homework themselves
C. recite their homework together D. check the answers to their homework questions
58. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always________.
A. requested her students to finish their usual questions
B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students
D. asked questions in a regular way
59. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because________.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual
B. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
C. several students didn’t come to school
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
60. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

The first results of a groundbreaking (开创性的) music project working with deaf children in Dundee will be announced next week with the aim of rolling it out across Scotland in the future.
In a project developed through his ongoing partnership with the National Youth Choir (合唱团) of Scotland (NYCOS), musician and educator Paul Whittaker has been spending time since February with groups of deaf and hearing-impaired (听力受损的) children at three Dundee primary schools — Claypotts, Craigiebarns and Tayview — as well as with pupils from a handful of other schools in the area.
“What we wanted to do was find out whether deaf children can sing, and how well they can pick up pitch (高音),” said Mr Whittaker. “What we’re doing on Monday is presenting some of the work that we have been doing.”
What gives the project its strength is that Mr Whittaker has been deaf since birth. “Because I’m deaf myself, I don’t like to put any barriers in the way of deaf children,” he said. “What’s important as well is that the children realise I’m the same as them. I can say: ’Look at me. I’ve got hearing aids. I can sign’. It plants the idea in a child that if he can do it, I can do it too.”
Given time and funding problems, the project hasn’t achieved everything it set out to achieve. “But what has been lovely has been seeing how all of the pupils, from being quite shy and quiet at the start of the project, has really grown up. Some of them can sing really well. They pick up things quite easily,” said Mr Whittaker.
To date, there has been little research done into the connection between deafness, singing and signing. Now, following a smaller pilot project carried out last year in the Highlands with participation from pupils at Stonehaven Academy, the hope is the project can show the benefits of such an approach. It may then be rolled out more widely across Scotland.
61. What makes the music project special?
A. It aims to train world-famous musicians.
B. It introduces new approaches to improve hearing.
C. It teams up with primary schools across Scotland.
D. It focuses on supporting students with hearing problems.
62. What part does Whittaker play in the project?
A. He is a health educator. B. He is a peacekeeper.
C. He is a role model. D. He is a caregiver.
63. In what way is Whittaker happy about the project?
A. It has achieved all of its goals.
B. It enjoys plentiful funding support.
C. It has received international recognition.
D. It sees the students’ impressive learning abilities.
64. What is the expectation for the project in the future?
A. To cooperate with the government.
B. To make it available in more places of Scotland.
C. To seek for more funding for better development.
D. To figure out the connection between deafness and singing.
65. What is the text mainly about?
A. A pioneering project by a deaf musician.
B. A large project for unlocking musical talents.
C. A national project to teach music to children.
D. A unique project studying the impact of music.
D
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods ,and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
66. What is the popular images of teenagers today?
A. They worry about school
B. They dislike living with their parents
C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
D. They quarrel a lot with other family members
67. What does the underlined phrase “rock the boat” mean?
A. cause the trouble B. go boating C. change the topic D. make a decision
68. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents _______.
A. go to clubs more often with their children
B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children’s life
D. give their children more freedom
69. According to the author, teenage rebellion __________.
A. may be a false belief B. is common nowadays
C. Is necessary for teenager’s growth D. resulted from changes in families
70. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Negotiation in family B. Education in family
C. Harmony in family D. Teenage trouble in family
