As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影響) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.

During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科醫(yī)生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.

After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(機會) to go on working as a life-saver.

1.When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ___.

2.At the age of 14, Sanders ___.

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walter Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said, “Stop! That’s our duck!”

The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody, like Mickey.

In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.

Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on the television and hear that famous voice.

B. A writer.

C. A film maker.

D. The man who made the voice for Donald Duck.

4.Where do today’s children see Donald Duck cartoons?

As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of the Independence. He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a result, he became famous.

Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.

Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.

Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.

Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bill which Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.

Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American Independence.

1.From the passage we can infer that America won its independence in ________.

A. 1786 B. 1776

C. 1842 D. 1800

What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher？I think the following would be generally accepted.

Firstly，the teacher's personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain?looking，or even ugly，because many such people have great personal charm. 1..

Secondly，it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a capacity for sympathy，a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of children. 2.—not of what is wrong，but of the weaknesses and immaturity of children，which cause them to make mistakes.

Thirdly，I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations，and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. 3.. That is part of the technique of teaching，which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven(使生動)a lesson，correct a fault，or award praise.

A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. 4.，for we are none of us born like that.

Finally，I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. 5.；there is always something more to learn about. There are three principal objects of study：the subjects which the teacher is teaching；the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching；most importantly，the children，young people，or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught.

A．This，I may say，is largely a matter of self?discipline and self?training

B．Closely related to this is the capacity to be tolerant

C. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect

D．Children，especially young children，live in a world that is rather larger than life

E．There is no contradiction (自相矛盾)in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor

F．But it does rule out such types as the over?excitable，sad，cold，and frustrated

G．There are two fundamental principles of British education today

Good morning，everyone，

The Anchorage Museum is expanding to the north with the addition of 25,000 square feet of new gallery space for the museum’s art collection and exploration of art of the north.

Construction timeline: February 2016〜September 2017.

An expanded museum will:

•Provide greater public access to the museum’s art collection

•Create physical space for each kind of the museum’s mission—art, history, science, culture

•Tell the story of the north and Alaska through art that represents its landscape and people

•Create positive, engaging and relevant museum experiences

•Help museum visitors understand Alaska and the north through a variety of experiences

•Connect people and encourage global dialogue about the north and its different environment

I was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s. We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow（平房）in Michigan. Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us. The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in (汽車影院）movies!

We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with homemade popcorn. On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy. We were so exited as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the cartoon began.

We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen. As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race back to the car to get our candy.

There were always two cartoons playing before the movie, like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry, But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream. That came on right before the movie. It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.

We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us. Mom help?ed us drug ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.

I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town. It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.
