"There's Always a John"By Darla Boyd
My first year of teaching，there was a kid named John in my class．John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy．While talking about him one day，an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said，"There will always be a John．Your job is to learn to discover what makes him different and help him succeed．"The next year，there was indeed another John．But that advice taught me that there is something to appreciate in everyone．
"An Early Key Lesson"By Elaine West
Before I began my first teaching job，my mother，a teacher of 30 years，gave me a very special gift，five simple words that have had an effect on my entire life．"Make friends with the janitor （門衛(wèi)）．"Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continues to enrich my life to this day．Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart．
"Raising Mommy"By Jan Davis
Being a mother can always present challenges and rewards．Someone told me early that children will teach you everything you need to know．Being a mother is being raised．Our children become our advisers．Their dreams become our professors，as we are taking notes carefully．The sounds of their laughter and smiles are a great reward to us．Their tears remind us that it is okey to fail，and that we should wipe the tears away and try again．

33．What did Elaine West's mother advise her to do？D
A．Take care of janitors．
B．Don't treat students differently．
C．Don't judge people by appearance．
D．Respect people from different backgrounds．

1．The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising career in business to study music．My parents，although sympathetic，disapproved of music as an occupation．This was understandable，I thought，in view of my family background．My grandfather taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College，and it was only the threiftiness （節(jié)儉） of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay．As a consequence，My parents insisted upon college instead of a music school．
Before my graduation from Columbia University，the family met with severe fanacial difficulty and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job．Thus was I launched upon a  business career-which I always think of as the wasted years．
Now，I do not for a moment mean to disparage （貶低） business； my whole point is that it was not for me．My one ambition was to save enough money to quit and go to Europe to study music．
I used to get up at dawn to practice before I left for"downtown"，upsetting my poor mother by having a hasty breakfast at the last minute．Instead of lunching with my business associates，I would seek out some cheap café，order a mean meal and draw my harmony exercise．I continued to make money，and finally，bit by bit，accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad．The family being once more wealthy，and my help no longer necessary．I resigned from my position and feeling like a man released from jail，sailed for Europe．I stayed four years，worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it．
"Enjoyed"is too mild a word．I walked on air．I really lived．I was a free man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do．If I had stayed in business，I might be a really wealthy man today．But I do not believe I would have made a success of living．I would have given up all those inner satiosfaction that money can never buy and that are too often sacrificed when a man's primary goal is fanacial success．Money is a wonderful thing，but it is possible to pay too high a price on it．

59．Why did the author's parents object to his decision to study music？A
A．His family was not well off．
B．He had a good family background．
C．His parents were not fond of music．
D．He modeled himself after his grandfather．
60．What caused the author to leave college and take a job？B
A．Expectations of his parents．
B．The financial crisis of the family．
C．His ambition for a business career．
D．His dissatisfation with the college．
61．It was possible for the author to go to Europe to study music becauseD．
A．he kept practicing music
B．he was released from prision
C．he used to lunch with other businessmen
D．his financial condition was improved
62．What does the author intend to tell us through the story？C
A．Whaterver you do，you must do it well．
B．Wherever you go，you can achieve your dreams．
C．Whoever you are，you should follow your inner voice．
D．However poor you are，you deserve equal treatment．
