My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat which was hanging at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass. While the other coats drooped(低垂), this one looked as if it were 36 itself up. The coat had beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an) 37 price of $28, which was popular just then with 38, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that 39 of classic elegance(优雅). John tried it on and the fit was perfect.
John 40 the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said, 41 folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a 42 came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness (作对) and reasoned discussion replaced fierce 43. He became more mannerly and 44, eager to please. He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him 45 his behavior.
When I mentioned this incident to his teacher and 46 what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It 47 be his coat!” Another teacher told him she was giving him a good 48 not only because he had earned 49 but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend “Could this be John?” he asked surprisingly, 50 John’s new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.
John and I both know we should never 51 a person’s clothes for the real person within them. 52 there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for 53 what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
For John it is a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to 54 as it is to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast landscape 55 all the doors are open. And he could picture himself walking through those doors wearing his wonderful, magical coat.

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.
John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said.
Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “Good dinner, mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never mistake a person’s clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
1.What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?
A. The coat looked like a magical coat.
B. They were good at shopping.
C. The coat was a real bargain.
D. They had the same taste in clothes.
2.What does the underlined word “grin” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A wide smile. B. A worried look.
C. A jealous spirit. D. A joking tone.
3.After John wore the new coat, the author found he _______.
a. was happier and better-behaved
b. received more praise from his teachers
c. was willing to follow suggestions
d. made rapid progress in study
e. would say sweet words to please her
A. a, b, c B. a, c, e C. b, d, e D. c, d, e
4.What message does the author intend to deliver in the article?
A. We should not judge people by their appearance.
B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.
C. It’s beneficial to try different things in our lives.
D. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
I was helping in my son’s classroom when I spotted a poster that reads, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can break my heart”. I started thinking.
Teachers are such an important part of a child’s life. A teacher’s support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a child’s motivating and attitude toward education. And the effect a teacher has on a child doesn’t end when the school bell rings at the end of the day. Rather, those feelings developed in the classroom go home with the child and, in a large part, determine what sort of evening the child and the family have. The importance of a teacher to a child is fantastic and cannot be over-emphasized.
All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms, for example, one of Hannah’s favorite phrases in used when I mess up. She looks at me with understanding and says, “It’s okay to make mistakes, mama, because you’re only learning.” Rachael’s favorite phrase is used to start most of her jobs; with a glow in her eye, she says, “I’m just going to do my best, mama, because that’s all I can do!” But perhaps my favorite is Jacob’s response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesn’t like. With his hand on his heart he says, “Don’t say that because words can break my heart.”
Like most parents, I hear teacherisms daily. And every time I hear one, my heart floods with gratefulness for the wonderful teachers who make my children feel safe, important, and successful in the classroom, and who are helping my children achieve emotional good health. There is much talk today how to measure a teacher’s worth. I think we need only look at the students. Children mirror teachers’ words and actions, and the content of those reflections shows teacher’s greatness.
1.Teachers are important to students in that________.
A.they equip them with book knowledge
B.they help free the parents from worries
they guarantee each family a happy evening
D.they help keep them emotionally healthy
2.The three children’s examples are used to show that________.
A.they are lucky to have wonderful teachers
B.they can eventually develop into good teachers
they are sometimes mentally hurt by the teachers
D.they have a successful performance in school
3.To his mother, what the boy says possibly sounds________.
A.ridiculous B.convincing humorous D.inspiring
4.The underlined word “teacherisms” probably refers to “________”.
A.how teachers normally deal with their students
B.what teachers usually say to their students
why teachers seem important to their students
D.where teachers agree with their students
