Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to

another culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide

variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps

adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.
“ Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “ Cinderella（灰姑娘）, or the central idea of a good child

protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too,

helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they

are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in

business,” she says, “ there is a greater need for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker

relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of

storytelling are found everywhere, she says.
“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “ What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into

their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.”
52．What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?
A．They share the same way of storytelling.
B．They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.
C．They learn their stories from the American natives.
D．They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.
53．The underlined sentence （Paragraph 4） suggests that prisoners can _____.
A．start a new life                        B．settle down in another place
C．direct films                           D．become good actors
54．Pugh has practised storytelling with _____ groups of people.
A．2              B．3               C．4             D．5
55．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Storytelling can influence the way people think.
B．Storytelling is vital to the growth of business.
C．Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.
D．Storytelling helps people understand themselves and others.

I began working in journalism（新闻工作）when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better

start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For

several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.

When it was suppertime, I walked back home.
“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“ None.”
“ Where did you go?”
“ The corner of Belleville and union Avenues.”
“ What did you do?”
“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“ You just stood there?”
“ Didn’t sell a single one.”
“ My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle（五分镍币）. It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence（自信）, and persuade them by

saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I

should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that

I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her

husband’s people for true life and love.
56．Why did the boy start his job young?
A．He wanted to be famous in the future.
B．The job was quite easy for him.
C．His mother had high hopes for him.
D．The competiton for the job was fierce.
57．From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.
A．excited          B．interested          C．ashamed             D．disappointed
58．What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?
A．She forced him to continue.              B．She punished him.
C．She gave him some money.              D．She changed her plan.
59．What does the underlined phrase “this battle”（last paragraph） refer to?
A．The war between the boy’s parents.
B．The arguing between the boy and his mother.
C．The quarrel between the boy and his customers.
D．The fight between the boy and his father.
60．What is the text mainly about?
A．The early life of a journalist.

第三节 参考样例
（1）
I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only . As we all know , a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well . Classes taught in English provide students with such an environment . When English is the only language used in the classroom , students will have more opportunities to practisse listening and speaking . Therefore , they will be able to learn more quickly .
However , there are also some problems with this teaching method . As we haven’t mastered enough English words , sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the teacher . Slow learners may even lose interest in English .
Practice makes perfect . To learn English well requires a lot of practice. Therefore , I like my English classes to be taught completely in English .

（2）
I prefer my English classes to be taught in both Chinese and English . In my opinion , learning English is a step-by-step process. As middle school students, we only have a small vocabulary . If the teacher can use some Chinese in an English class , we will understand the lesson better .
Of course , an English class taught in two languages has its shortcomings . Such a class cannot create a good atmosphere for English learning . Some students will speak Chinese all the time cannot learn English well.
