24、As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.

Here’s a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard to achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it’s so hard for us to reach it, said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”

“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes. During World WarⅡ, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “Kaizen”, which means “improvement”.

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.

27、

An unusual school, Notch Peak Elementary, has just one student and only one teacher. The only student is Corinne Gaby. Her teacher is Lisa Geary. Corrine has no brothers or sisters and lives with her parents on a large farm in a mountainous area.

The school is based on the idea that every child has the right to a public education-no matter where that child lives. But the closest public school is at least a one-and-a-half hour drive away. And that road is not considered safely passable during the winter.

A new, separate school was not built. Instead, a classroom area was created on the second floor of a horse barn (马厩). Large windows keep the room bright, and a wood stove provides heat.

Several teachers were considered for this unusual teaching situation. The first lasted a year. The next left after two. Then came Lisa Geary. She says her first year was “harder than expected.” She faced lonely surroundings and severe weather.

“It wasn't easy in the beginning Corinne was strong-headed, and it was tough.” Geary said she became discouraged with their lack of progress .At first, she said it seemed like Corinne did not want to be taught. “We really, really struggled that first year, so it wasn't fun for me as a teacher who is waiting for her cup to be fled up.” Corinne agrees that the start of teaching was difficult.

But over time, Corinne said Geary's teaching methods changed her mind about the unusual one-on-one learning situation. “Now in fifth grade and fourth grade, Ms. Geary and I have seen lots of changes in ourselves.” Corinne says Geary's teaching has taught her far more than just what happens in the classroom.

Geary adds that in every teaching situation, the relationship between teacher and student is very important. She says that her relationship with Corinne is now so close, the two are like family.

Corinne agrees that the two have a much deeper connection than most students and teachers. She describes Geary as the “greatest teacher in the galaxy.”

The two also spend a lot of time together outside the classroom. Sometimes Corinne even gets to sleep over at her teacher's house, and they both love taking care of the animals on the farm.

【1】Geary said her first year was “harder than expected” because________.

A.she had to drive at least one and a half hours to get back home

B.Corinne's parents didn't like the teacher and her teaching ways

C.the life was poor in the cold weather and there was little progress in Corinne's study

D.Corinne wasn't willing to be taught by Geary and didn't like to have lessons at home

【2】Which of the following about Lisa Geary can be inferred from the passage?

A.She got on well with Corinne at first.

B.She changed Corinne a lot but little in herself.

C.Teaching in Notch Peak Elementary is her first job.

D.Geary's teaching methods finally changed Corinne.

【3】How does Corinne's feeling change to Geary?

A.Excited-happy. B.Afraid-glad. C.Difficult- close. D.Strange-satisfied.

【4】Choose a sentence by Corinne that best describes Geary as the “greatest teacher in the galaxy”.

A.“We are living together. We're just a family.”

B.“She is the teacher who is waiting to fill me up.”

C.“She gives me chances and she really believes in me.”

D.“It is she who has spent almost three years with me in the horse barn.”

28、   A headmaster of a primary school in north China 【1】(become)the latest Internet celebrity (网红) for doing the ghost shuffle routine(鬼步舞)with his students during a morning exercise routine.

29、Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you afraid to make a speech?

Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of_______classmates.

"I was wrong. It was very different and much_______ than talking to my classmates during playtime," Li said. "I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (哑巴) and wanted to leave the classroom_______ "

Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same_______ : they can talk about their ideas freely_______   their best friends after class, but can't speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, a teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to writing instead of_______ .
