It is the first time in over one hundred years that voters in this area of N

19、ew Orleans elected a non-democratic Party lawmaker. And, Anh Cao is the first Vietnamese-American to be elected to the United States Congress (議會) .Anh Cao went through difficult times to get to where he is now. He was born in Saigon in nineteen sixty-seven during the war in Vietnam. In nineteen sev

20、enty-five, North Vietnamese troops took control of Saigon. He was separated from his family for many years. Anh Cao lived with his uncle in Indian, then later moved to Houston,Texas.He decided to work for social justice in a non-religious way. So, he worked as a lawyer in New Orleans.He joined the R

21、epublican Party and became active on local and state political committees. He decided to compete against his local representative in Congress, William Jefferson, who had been in office since nineteen ninety-one. Minister Jeffersons reelection campaign was not helped by federal corruption charges aga

22、inst him.Mister Cao won the election. That night he said that never in his life did he think he could be a congressman. He said the American dream is alive and well.1、Which statement according to this news is true?AAnh “Joseph” Cao was elected a Vietnamese-American Democratic party member.BIt is the

23、 first time ever that voters in this area of New-Orlearis have elected a non-Democratic Party memberCThe first Vietamese-American elected to the United State Congress is Anh Cao.DAll the voters in USA made a historic choice.2、Which description about Anh Joseph Cao is true?AAnh Cao went through diffi

25、a century.CAnh Joseph determined to cooperate with William Jefferson.DAll the Candidates in New Orleans always supported William Jefferson23（8分） It is not only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kidsparticularly by givi

26、ng instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situatio

27、n, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do.Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse. For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able t

28、o do it. When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is

29、far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clearly, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on f

30、irm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think Ill feel if you drown?” The changes are small but difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it

31、 pays to be positive.1、Positive choice of words helps kids to _.Ado things carefully Blearn in different situationsCimprove their imagination Dbuild up their confidence2、What can we infer from Paragraph 2?AOne cant help imagining what is heard.BA child will act on what is instructed.CA child will fa

32、ll off the tree when told not to.DOne wont think of a blue monkey when given money.3、Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?AFasten your seat belt.BDont play by the lake.CHow do you think Ill feel if you get hurt?DDont you dare to walk through the red light?4、The main idea of the pass

33、age is that _.Apraise makes kids confident Bright instructions keep kids safeCpositive instructions guide kids Dclear commands make kids different24（8分） “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy - they re given after all. Choices can be hard.-Jeff Bezos.I got the idea to start

34、 Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and Id bee

35、n married for a year. I told my life MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expect.

37、alk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said. “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job. That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decisio

38、n. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but eventually, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion,

39、and Im proud of that choice.
