At 57 you would think I know what my future looks like．But I don’t．I'm still searching for it·Our friends are becoming grandparents．My kids are still in college，so this makes me feel younger than I am．I felt the same way in my 40s when my friends’kids were entering high school and 1 was attending Christmas shows at the elementary sch001．“What do you mean you’ve never heard of Barney or the Rug- rats?”I’d ask．

At the age of 57，I find myself trying to find meaning at a time when some might think my best days are behind me．Each morning 1 wake with the intention of finding the sunshine in the day ahead．

I am working temporary accounting jobs because that is the job I fell into many years ago，but I spend most of my time writing．When asked what I d0 for work，I find myself answering，I am a writer．I've published two novels，I blog，and 1 write pieces here on the Huffington Post，so yes，at 57 I can call myself a writer．

At this point in my life I realize Paul Bowles was correct when he said“security is a false God”．What I am searching for at 57 are not possessions or money in the bank，for all those things call he lost in an instant．Job losses，illness，the loss of a loved one，all these things can and will rock that false sense of security．

At 57 I live with the choices and mistakes I have made，along with the—curve—balls that were thrown in my way．I accept the fact that there will always be more questions than answers．As at any age，the only true choice I have is how I deal with life’s ups and downs but at 57 I have come to accept this．

Time is my most precious commodity and I intend to make the most of it．

B

There is a great need to train cultural diversity for teachers，given that the classrooms of today

consist of diverse groups of students．The most direct way of training teachers is to hold as many interactive(互动的)activities in the class．

One of the simplest and most effective activities is a game called“I Am"．In this game，each student is asked to write something about their name and provide other details about the name--like the meaning，how they got their name，and if they think they are anything like their name．This will provide an insight into the culture and background of that student．In another activity，all the students sit in a circle．Each student is called aside by the teacher and asked to pick two students from the circle whom they know nothing about．They are then asked to state a few things that they think about them，like their background，what their parents do，etc．Make sure that these questions are about the cultural background．It is important that these questions are predetermined so that it does not get too personal or offensive．Once each student is done giving their account，they are asked to come forward and answer the questions on the list．In no way is the choice of classmate and student divulged．This may help student realize what they had assumed about their classmates‘wasn’t necessarily true．

This opens up the minds of the students and changes their attitude to make them more accepting of their diversity．

25．Why is it necessary for teachers to gain cultural diversity training?

A More and more students become active．

B．There are more students from diverse cultures．

C .It’s teachers’duty to make students more diverse．

D．The students want their teacher to have international background．

26．Which of the following statements will most probably be heard in the“I am”activity?

A .Our teacher treats us as good friends．

B．My family loves each other very muck

C .My name Alexander represents bravery．

D．I am from another city far away from here．

27．The underlined word“divulged’’in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“

A.connected B．fitted C. Equipped D．uncovered

28．What’s the biggest advantage of the activities?

A Making students accept cultural diversity．

B．Improving students’future performances．

C .Helping tea6hers handle teaching problems．

D．Helping teachers to remember students’problems．

C
