How does a brilliant teacher get that way? The question of how they developed has as many answers as there are inspired instructors. One example is an original and magnetic woman who has become one of best ever at taking disadvantaged students to a new level.
Jackson was born in Altoona. Her father was a construction worker. When she was in the eighth grade, her father died just before Christmas. Her principal, Mrs. Brown, said not to worry about schoolwork for a while. That upt her. Her father would not have wanted her to do anything but her best. He always said: “Don’t let your first failure be the reason for your next.”
Jackson was an accomplished shooting guard in basketball and a star sprinter on the track team, running the quarter-mile in 57 conds. She thought she might become a sports broadcaster. She gave no thought to teaching until a friend took her to an introduction to a program, which placed novice instructors in schools full of low-income children. Jackson liked the idea of giving back, as well as the chance to have some of her student loans forgiven.
She is a big sports person, and that is how she connects with lots of kids. She couldn’t motivate children until she knew what was bothering or pleasing them. “Students learn from people who love them,” she said. “They will be motivated and inspired to learn if they know deep down that you care
about them.” In class she gave basketball tickets to students who were doing their work. At weekly drawings they could win sticky notes, pencils or other small prizes.
She helped create after-school clubs. A tall student said to her: “I’m a baller. I heard you ball.” There was a basketball league in Paterson, but the school didn’t have a team. Jackson started one with support from local business executives. The student, Esnce Carson, went to Rutgers University, was a first-round draft (运动员选拔机制) lection for the WNBA’s New York Liberty and now plays for the Connecticut Sun.
24.Why did Mrs. Brown's words upt Jackson?
A. Her father just pasd away.
B. She was taught to do her best.
C. Her first failure led to another one.
D. She was concerned about her grades.
25.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The way Jackson turned teacher.
B. The dream job Jackson desired.
C. The student loans Jackson owed.
D. The athletics Jackson did well in.
26.Why did Jackson give small prizes to her students in class?
A. To connect with them.
B. To plea or bother them.
C. To encourage them to learn.
D. To show her love to them.
27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Jackson founded a school team in Paterson alone.
B. Jackson played in the basketball league in Paterson.
C. Jackson lected Esnce to play for WNBA’s New York Liberty.
美女侧面图片D. Jackson should take some credit for Esnce’s professional career.

Have you ever noticed that the stars sometimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There’s a link between cold air and the night lights. “Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter,” said Diane Turnshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it’s invisible, moisture (湿度) can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull.
Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. “Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer,” said Turnshek, who also works with the Allegheny Obrvatory (阿利根尼天文台). And when the light from a star pass through tho bubbles of varying temperatures, “it bends and shifts the light, so that we are eing stars appear to dance or twinkle,” she said.
For star lovers in the United States, there's another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence. During Earth’s journey around the sun, “there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky,” Turnshek said. If you really want to e a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon. At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively clo to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large—nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it ems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.
28.What does the underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. not shiny
B. not exciting
C. not vere
D. not smart
29.How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars?
A. By changing the bubbles around them.
B. By putting the twinkle twinkle in them.
C. By varying the direction of the light from them.
D. By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.
30.What do we know about Sirius?
A. It can be found at any night.
B. It is 20 times as bright as the sun.
C. It is a burning and shiny ball.
D. It is clor to Earth than other stars.
31.What is the author's purpo in writing the text?
