The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.‎ My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesion, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her 1 would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label (标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. ‎ As we worked together, we learned how to built Marie’s self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make progress and was able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.‎ As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.‎ ‎24. According to the text, Marie is a woman who .‎ A. has three sons B. has good memory C. has difficulty in writing D. has difficulty in walking around ‎25. After getting help from the author, Marie felt .‎ A. shy B. proud C. confident D. peaceful ‎26. What did the author get through the program?‎ A. Some beautiful presents.‎ B. More ways to help others.‎ C. More confidence and knowledge.‎ D. A sense of achievement.‎ ‎27. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Woman Who lacked Self-confidence B. The Volunteering Work Benefited Both of Us C. A Challenge during My Volunteering Work D. The Literacy Volunteer Changed Our Lives C Five eggs the size of Ping-Pong balls crack open as the tiny desert tortoises inside break through the shells. The two-inch-long babies immediately crawl off in search of flowers and grasses to eat. These animals may be newly hatched, but they already have survival skills that will allow them to thrive in their severe and hot habitats.‎ Desert tortoises live in the deserts of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. During the summer, ground temperatures in parts of their range can hit ‎140°F. To beat the heat, desert tortoises use their strong forearms and tough nails to dig underground Holes where they can hide from the sun. Some of these tortoise tunnels are up to 32 feet in length. And the holes can get pretty crowded. As many as 25 desert tortoises might stay together in one ‎ shelter.‎ The animals also dig grooves (沟) into the ground^ surface to catch rainwater. After a storm, they’ll return to these holes to drink the water that’s collected inside. Once it has had a good drink, a desert tortoise can go up to a year without requiring fresh water again. The tortoise stores the water it has consumed in its bladder and can later absorb the liquid when it needs to hydrate.‎ Despite sometimes hanging out in holes together, desert tortoises are pretty solitary. And sometimes when males come across each other, they’ll fight to establish governance. The fighting tortoises may use horns (角) on their chests to try and knock each other over. The contest ends when one animal turns over the other on its back. The losing tortoise can turn right side up by wiggling (摆动) its body back and forth until it flips (翻转) over. But after that, the tortoise knows who’s the boss.‎ ‎28. What do the desert tortoises’ babies mainly eat?‎ A. Insects.‎ B. Small animals.‎ C. Flowers and grasses.‎ D. Their mothers’ milk.‎ ‎29. The underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.‎ A. play B. fight C. hang out D. grow up ‎30. How do the desert tortoises fight the summer heat?‎ A. By drinking much water.‎ B. By staying under the tree.‎ C. By digging enough grooves.‎ D. By living in the underground holes.‎ ‎31. What do we know about the desert tortoises?‎ A. They use their holes to save water.‎ B. They fight mainly for the opposite sex.‎ C. They can survive without drinking water for a year.‎ D. They usually live in the northwestern United States.‎ D Agatha Lee described her reaction as “disbelief” when School Board Chairwoman Sue Dickinson called her name last Thursday night at Flagler Auditorium.‎ Lee, a second-grade teacher at Belle Terre Elementary School, was named Flagler County’s Teacher of the Year today. “I was in such a great group of excellent teachers and I was just shocked.” Lee said in an interview after the announcement.‎ Every Flagler school names a Teacher of the Year once a year and those nominees (候选人) are considered for the district’s award. That winner, along with winners from the state’s other districts, is then considered for the Florida Teacher of the Year Award, which is announced in July.‎ To be qualified for the teaching award, teachers must encourage continuous learning, show skillfulness in their subject area, use creative teaching strategies (策略), show leadership and create a caring and respectful environment.‎ Jill Stirling, a kindergarten teacher, Flagler’s 2016 Teacher of the Year, said she also met winners from throughout the state to share teaching strategies and the best practices. “I often think of those little guys that have made me the teacher I am and the person that I am,” Stirling said.‎ Lee, the following new winner, who is now in her thirteenth year of teaching, came to Flagler County in 2004 after working in Pasco and St. Johns counties. She worked at the former Indian Trails K-8 School and came to Belle Terre Elementary School when it opened in fall 2005.‎ Lee, who comes from a family of teachers, said she has always enjoyed being with children. “I love watching their faces when they have that ‘aha’ moment,” she said.‎ ‎32.
