“Racism (種族歧視) is a grown-up disease,” declares the saying on Ruby Bridge’s website along with a photo of Mrs. Bridge today, a 6-year-old girl four decades ago. In the photo, she is walking up the steps of the William Frantz Public School in New Orleans, a little black girl accompanied by two officers who protect her on her way to school.

       Her name then was Ruby Nell. It was Nov. 14, 1960. She was the first black child to enroll at this all-white elementary school according to the court order to desegregate in New Orleans schools. Her story is moving -- she was a very courageous child -- and remains a significant proof against intolerance (不寬容) of all kinds. Ruby’s photo brings out another powerful image on her website: Norman Rockwells symbolic painting for Look magazine on Jan. 14, 1964, “The Problem We All Live With.”

       Rockwell was an illustrator of exceptional skill and charm. He produced a vast number of unforgettable images over a long career, many of them involving children. His American kids are innocent and appealing, but often, at the same time, decidedly naughty. His method was to photograph his models, and the resulting paintings were photographic． But it is revealing to see how the artist slightly changed facial expressions from photo to oil painting in order to make his paintings communicate with the viewer. Communication, even persuasion, lay at the back of his work; this was art for effect.

       “The Problem We All Live With” belongs to Rockwell’s later work, when he began openly showing his strong belief in liberty. This is a highly persuasive image. Before he arrived at the final copy, one sketch (草圖) shows the little girl closer to the two officers following her than to those in front. In the finished picture, the girl seems more determined, independent, and untouched． The unfriendly tomatoes thrown on the wall are behind her now, and she, is completely unaffected．

Ruby Nell was protected by officers on her way to school, because    .

       A．she was a little fighter against racism

       B．she was very young, short and timid

       C．she was the first black to study in an all-white school

D．she was chosen by the com t0be’wi’th white children

       A．social program for American children

       B．famous painting by Norman Rockwell

       C．photo displayed on Ruby Bridges’ website

       D．exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum

The word “desegregate” in paragraph 2 probably means“    ”.

       A．fight against the white B．end racial separation

       C．struggle for freedom D．stop the black-white conflict

The main topic of this passage is    .

       A．how Rockwell encouraged Ruby to fight against racism

       B．how Ruby won her fight to go to an all-white school

       C．how Rockwell expressed his protest in .Iris work

       D．how persuasive Rockwell’s earlier work of art is

A Good Teacher is a Strict Teacher

    One of the most important parts in the healthy development of a

child is played by education. But the way in which education is

understood has changed completely, as we must not forget that

the severe and unfeeling way of bringing up a child in the past

was primarily based on cruel grounding（基礎(chǔ)）and strict

rules that were supposed to create accomplished individuals, the typical gentlemen. Nowdays,

society is much more open-minded and it does not put a great value on being strict, although this

doesn’t mean that opinions regarding this subject do not differ.

    On the one hand, there are also people who believe that there has got to be a bound between

teacher and student if any satisfying results are awaited. Luckily for us, more and more teachers are

understanding this fact and are doing their best to get over the strict rules and get in touch with us.

    My opinion is that only by having a friendly attitude and accepting other opinions, especially

those of your pupils, you are truly able to do your job at high standards. However, this does not

mean that a teacher shouldn’t be a bit more rough when he feels that things are getting out of hand.

All in all, I must say that a good teacher is the teacher that has the ability to be kind and strict at the

same time, thus achieving to gain his students respect and interest.

The aim of education in the past was to      .

       A．create perfect persons      B．create open-minded persons

       C．bring up a child              D．build a cruel grounding

According to the passage, the narrow-minded people think      .

       A．a(chǎn) pupil is always interested in what he is learning

       B．a(chǎn) pupil himself will improve his studies

       C．children should be made to study

       D．children don’t like a rough hand

The underlined word “job” in the last paragraph can be replaced by      .

       A．controlling       B．teaching    C．learning    D．punishing

The author thinks a good teacher should be     .

       A．kind and strict         B．skilled and clever

       C．rough and cruel              D．friendly and practical

It can be inferred from the passage that       .

       A．society is much more open-minded and being strict is out date

       B．a(chǎn)s long as the teachers are strict with students, the students will certainly get good marks

       C．most people are in favor of strict teachers because they have strict grounding and strict rules

       D．if we expect students to develop in a healthy way, the good relationship between teachers and students is important

Ever since the first computer was built, each new computer

has been smaller, faster, and more powerfully. Most modern             

desktop computer can perform operations that only        

supercomputers could do in past. The trend will no doubt       

continuing, but just how small and fast can computers get?             

Will we get computers that is so small that they “disappear”         

which is, will they become so small that we will wear them          

inside their body? I think it’s possible that future PCs will            

be made of anything other than plastic and glass. The

instead of something very small that you can bring

Many of the stories written by Mark Twain take place in Hannibal, Missouri. The small wooden house where he lived as a boy still stands there. Next to the house is a wooden fence. It is the kind described in Twain's book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," published in1876.
