There was a story many years ago of a school teacher— Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水).
Teddy said, ―Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.‖ After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encourage him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).
The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, ―Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.‖
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, ―Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.‖ ( ) 36. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?

Professor Martin’s report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally（精神的）affected.
The professor says, ―It’s true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject.‖
Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father or two, said, ― I ’ve never heard such rubbish. Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children who change schools regularly— if they keep to the same system (体制),as in our Army schools. In my experience—and I’ve known quite a few of them—Army children are as well- adjusted(调整) as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn’t appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt(适应)much better than grown-ups.
When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency(倾向).
―Our findings show that while the very bright child can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, most children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation.‖ ( ) 41. Professor Martin’s report suggests that_________.
A.it may not be good for children to change school too often B. parents should not move around the country C. children are now making slow progress
D. more and more children are mentally affected
( ) 42. According to the passage, Professor Martin’s personal feelings______.

C.can get used to regular change of schools.
D.discuss their education regularly with their father
( ) 44.About children and grown-up , Captain James says that children_____

Moods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one’s outlook(way of looking at things) for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely.
Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology(药理学) offers a lot of tranquilizers(镇静剂) and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug store―try the following method.
Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercises (有氧运动) seem to be the best cure for a bad mood. ―If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits,‖ says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.
Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercises compare favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercises – running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation(循环), and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.
( ) 46. What is the main subject of the passage?
A. How to beat a bad mood. B. How to talk bad moods out. C. How to do physical exercises. D. How to do aerobic exercise. ( ) 47. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very well. B. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself C. some drugs are more effective than physical exercises D. taking drugs is at risk of being poisonous
( ) 48. The phrase ―feel out of sorts‖ , as is used in the second paragraph, could be best replaced by ___.
A. put things in order B. are in a bad mood C. search for tranquilizers D. want a mood-raiser
( ) 49. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?
A. An exercise and its importance are explained B. A problem is examined and solutions are given C. Two different views of a problem are presented D. Recent developments in medicine are described
( ) 50. According to the passage, all of the following are true except ________.
A. moods can have an effect on people’s feelings B. aerobic exercise can help people better use oxygen C. scientists have provided people with many tranquilizers
D. swimming, walking, or running is an effective cure for a bad mood D
