This school teacher who used to be a professional lawyer with a six-figure salary gave it all up so he could help young people in his neighborhood which is one of the poorest areas in England. Mouhssin Ismail left global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright lo become a teacher in his old inner city neighbourhood of Newham in 2009.
He is now in charge of Newham Collegiate Sixth Form, where in his first year of results 190 of the 200 east London students have been offered places at Russell Croup universities.

I was never particularly kind to my grandfather. I remember him coming into the sitting room one night, and when he went to sit down, I said to my brother, “I hope he doesn’t sit down. ” I was 12 years old then.
My grandfather wrote poetry on great rolls of thin white paper with a paintbrush, but over the years I wouldn’t listen to him read his poems. I’d let my Chinese go by then, which made listening to him too much of an effort.
On Monday, he’d be sitting at Dragon Boat Restaurant with other old Chinese men. Tuesdays to Friday, he was at a small square table by himself with a pot of tea and the Chinese newspaper. But he was diagnosed (诊断) with brain cancer and, three months later, he died.
At the funeral, my sadness was overshadowed by a sense of regret. I’d rejected my grandfather the commonest of kindness. I was 16 years ole.
I am now 26. A few weeks ago, during a family dinner at a Chinese restaurant, the waiter complimented (恭维) my mum on my speaking to her in Chinese, saying with a sigh that his own kids could barely speak a Chinese sentence. Mom told him I had stopped speaking Chinese for some years and then had suddenly started up again in my late teens.
I have often wandered how aware my mum is of the connection between Granddad’s death and my ever-improving Chinese. Whenever I am stuck for a word, I ask her. Whenever I am with her, or relatives, I practise. Now I am confident that the next time an elderly relative wants me to listen to them, I am not only willing, I am able. In fact, the more I learn, the more interest I have in the fantastic Chinese culture. The learning process seems to me a journey to rediscover my roots.
28. What can we know about the author’s grandfather? A. He struggled to be a poet.
B. He kept little tradition of his motherland. C. He went out to meet his friends every day. D. He had deep affection for Chinese Tradition.
29. Why did the author feel regretful at her grandpa’s funeral? A. She could speak little Chinese. B. She failed to cure him timely.
C. She hadn’t showed enough love to him.
D. She could no longer learn Chinese from him. 30. What made the author learn Chinese again? A. Family pressure. B. The waiter’s compliment. C. Her grandfather’s death. D. Her mom’s encouragement. 31. What can we conclude about the author from die passage? A. She went all out to understand her grandpa’s words
B. Her young relatives are eager to learn Chinese. C. Her mother urged her to speak Chinese. D. She came to love Chinese culture.

When Vivek Sodera, 30, awoke with a swollen knee after a night out with friends, he knew he should probably see a doctor. Problem was, “I couldn’t move from my bed, and I didn’t want to pay for taxis to and from the hospital,” says Sodera.
So he grasped his mobile phone hurriedly and opened Doctor on Demand, a new app that allows users to video-chat with doctors to get medical help in real time. He typed in symptoms, got paired with a nearby specialist and sent him a few photos of his knee. Within minutes, the doctor informed Sodera that he Likely dislocated his knee and would need an MRI—which he scheduled for the following week.
Nowadays, telemedicine is becoming increasingly mainstream, thanks to apps like Doctor on Demand, which is hacked by Dr. Phil, and HoakhTap, which attracts more than I million users.
For patients, telemedicine apps are a cheap, easy alternative to nonemergency consultations. Asking text-based questions on HealthTap and AskMD is free, and a 15-minute appointment via Doctor on Demand costs $40. For doctors, the apps are a tool to build a public profile, attract new patients and make a little extra cash during their downtime. And for hospitals, they’re a means to streamline rare for existing patients. As Murray Aitken, executive director of the health care consultancy IMS Institute, puts it, “We are going to see a major shift in how medicine is practiced and where.”
But there are concerns. Although telemedicine apps can be useful for diagnosing routine illnesses, they’re not meant to totally replace in-person doctor’s exams especially for potentially serious diseases like chest pain. It’s also not ideal to get prescriptions (处方) from a doctor who doesn’t have your electronic medical-record history on hand.
The key, says Aitken, is striking a balance—and using telemedicine to replace unnecessary visits. “If there is a way to keep healthy patients out of the doctor’s office through telemedicine,” he says, “that’s a good thing.” 32. Why does the author mention the example of Vivek Sodera? A. To introduce the topic. B. To prove the danger of a night out. C. To advertise a new app. D. To show the usage of telemedicine apps. 33. What can we learn about the telemedicine apps? A. They are suitable for routine disease consultations. H. They save severe disease sufferers time and money. C. They are tools to publicize medical information. D. They help hospitals to attract more patients.
34. What is Murray Aitken’s attitude towards telemedicine apps? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Opposed. D. Concerned. 35. What’s the best tide for the passage?
A. The Doctor will Video-chat with You Now
B. New Mobile Phones Can famine Patients’ Knees C. Vivck Sodera rented a New Telemedicine App
D. Telemedicine Apps Replaced In-person Doctor Exams 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often, parents and teachers don’t allow our children to have this same right. _36_
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games and answering
