I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers.As a boy，I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers.
There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up.This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.
It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible.I was one of those who lacked insight.Yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through.She had another superpower and even after four decades，I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers，expanding our horizons.She did this even though her major was not art，nor geography.Her lessons went beyond the textbook.I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.
I know being a teacher isn't the easiest or the most financially rewarding of jobs.And there are occupational risks-your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase，your voice can give in from too much talking.But despite all that，there are those choosing this cause.To them，teaching is not just a job- it is a science，an art and a craft，and it demands emotional labour and investment.
All my life，for three decades now，I've gone to work early each day with a spring in my step.Occasionally，I meet my former students.Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our time together are my rewards.When I meet others who thirst for superpowers，like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on，or the one in a remote rural school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils，I feel proud to belong to the same group.

1．For several days Ⅰ（Jane Eyre） saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening，I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips，and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned around and asked me， "Do you think I'm handsome，Miss Eyre？"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it： "No，sir."
"Ah，you are really unusual!You look like a quiet，serious little person，but you can be almost rude."
"Sir，I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances；I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that."
"No，you shouldn't!I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance（抵消） your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly， "Yes，you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you，and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character，but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this？Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to，because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me，Miss Eyre，" he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me，and laugh，and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage，you'll fly very high.Good night."
（1）Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5？
A．Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B．Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C．Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.

3．My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish：I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours．My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip．
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip，I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook．This could be the answer to my problem，I thought．So I put Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag．When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach，my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats．But after several lines，they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen．
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly．Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip．I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach．We arrived just behind the power crews restoring（恢復(fù)）electricity after a tropical storm．The rain continued most of the week，and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm．When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip．He answered without hesitation，"The book you read in the car． "
Road trips still offer challenges，even though my children now are teenagers．But we continue to read as we roll across the country．And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time．For at least a little while，we are not shut in our own electronic worlds．And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation．
（1）Why did the author start reading in the car？
A．She wanted to have a better journey．
B．She wanted to keep a family tradition．
C．Her children were addicted to reading．
D．Her children were tired of the cassette．
（2）How did the children react after the author read a few lines？
A．They kept fighting．
B．They hid themselves．
C．They soon settled down．
D．They read together aloud．
（3）What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach？
A．They were caught in a storm．
B．They enjoyed reading on the road．
C．They had a good time on the beach．
D．They thought it had passed too quickly．
（4）Which can be the best title for the text？
A．Better Traveling than Reading
B．Books that Changed My Children
C．Road Trips Full of Challenges
D．Reading Makes Great Road Trips發(fā)布：2025/1/30 8:0:1組卷：0引用：1難度：0.7
