解析试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是手表的发展。虽然现在的青少年们不喜欢用手表，但是手表这一个悠久历史的发明物并不会退出人们的生活舞台。很多二、三十岁的人们仍然喜欢用手表，而且现在的手表不管是从外形，还是从功能上，都发生了很大的变化，它已经不只是一个报时的东西了。
【小题1】根据短文第一段的内容以及A teenager says it’s unnecessary to wear a watch.可知，现在的青少年们都觉得没有必要戴手表，他们可以通过手机来知道时间。这里wear a watch或wear watches都可以。
【小题2】根据短文第二段中However, watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people reach their 20s and 30s.可知，手表制造商们说，当人们二、三十岁的时候，手表会变得又受欢迎起来。那个年龄的人们愿意花钱来买一块好的手表。
【小题3】句意：现在手表为人们提供很多用途，来满足不同个性的人们的需求。他们可以用作指南针、日历，甚至磁盘驱动器。根据句意可知，这里作者告诉了我们现在手表的很多用途，故这个空应该填watches。
【小题4】纵观文章大意可知，短文的最后一句话对这篇文章的中心做了一个总结，是整篇文章的中心句。All in all, a watch has become more important than the time it tells.总而言之，手表已经变得比告诉时间更重要了。故这个题的答案就是短文的最后一句话。
【小题5】这个句子中使用的短语是try one’s best to do sth.，尽某人的最大努力去做某事；create是一个动词，意思是创造，在这里我们可以根据文意翻译成设计或制造；new kinds of watches，新型的手表。因此这句话的意思是：人们一直/总是在努力创造/设计/制造新型/种类的手表。

I was knocked to be unconscious (无知觉的), but luckily, a fireman came in and saved both of us.” She touched the burned side of her face. “This scar will be forever, but until today, I have never regretted doing what I did.”

Tuesday, 1st September
I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited… My heart went down when Miss Chan, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.
Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I’ve ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit (功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us!
We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while, Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.
When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.
It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they gone back to England!
