    Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
    Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.
    Other people think that work adds too much stress（压力）, which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.
    The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.
    小题1:The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.
    A．something that encourages teens to study
    B．something that helps teens improve study
    C．something that prevents teens from studying
    D．something that makes teens lose interest in study
    小题2:What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
    A．Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.
    B．Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.
    C．Teens are worried about being independent in the future.
    D．Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.
    小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Working makes teens get lower grades.
    B．Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.
    C．Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.
    D．Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.
    小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．What money means to teens.
    B．Why teens should work after school.
    C．Whether parents should help teens find jobs.
    D．How teens get money for after-school activities.

    试题分析：高中学生在学校积极参加体育、戏剧、和各种各样的组织活动。他们是从哪里得到的钱来做这些事情呢? 不是每个人都从父母得到钱的。大多数学生是通过一份工作来赚取钱的。如果高中生向成年人一样有工作，会对他们有影响吗？我的看法是他们应该找适当的工作。接下作者对其有必要的原因进行了详细的说明与举例。
    小题1: 细节理解题。问题：在第二段中划线词的意思是什么？分析原文：Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.句意：应该看着现实的教育，而不是考虑毕业后工作阻碍。结合选项表示阻碍的短语prevent sb. from doing sth.故选C
    小题2:细节理解题。问题：从第三段中了解到了什么？联系第三段的句意，将来年青人参加工作会有一些压力，但是面对压力，年青人应该学会如何更好地处理好忙碌的日程表。（原文Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules.) 因此选择第四项。故选 D
    小题3: 细节理解题。问题：通过短文，下列的描述哪一个是正确的？分析原文： The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. 句意：孩子越早赚钱, 他们可以学习如何明智地用钱。结合选项只有第二项符合。故选B
    小题4:细节理解题。问题：这篇短文主要谈论了什么？分析原文的中心句：Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.句意：一些成年人问，对于高中学生是否应该有一份工作。我的回答是确实应该有必要。接下作者对其有必要的原因进行了详细的说明与举例。故选B

    Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.
    How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians (行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements(人行道). We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens(青少年) should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.

    The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.
    Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理学) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.
    Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.
    In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
    Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols(标志) on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
    “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the computer.”
    小题1:Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
    A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
    B．Spelling ability is closely tied to writing ability.
    C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
    D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
    小题2:What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?
    A．Window.B．Emotion.
    C．Picture.D．Imagination.
    小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Computers can help people with their choice of words.
    B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
    C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
    D．Spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

    Millions of British people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and took the place of it with the less formal “cheers”, according to a survey.
    Although the common person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to add a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed to show they are fashionable.
    One in twenty now say “nice one” instead, while the younger are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”.
    “Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common phrases to use, as “much appreciated(感激)”.
    One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly won’t say thank you if they are in a bad mood. Most people stated that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say thank you to a person’s face without even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.
    It seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. Half of them admit (承认) they’re not good at thanking those closest to them. Many of them explain that they don’t say thank you because their family “already know I’m grateful”.
    When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.
    One third will still send a handwritten thank-you note---but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they tried to send one.
    A quarter of British people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake.
    It follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)
    they feel they should receive.
    小题1:Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _______.
    A．when they are in good moodB．completely out of habit
    C．when they feel truly gratefulD．purely out of politeness
    小题2:The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.
    A．gave upB．usedC．sharedD．knew
    小题3:It can be learned from the passage that _______.
    A．different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionable
    B．people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays
    C．a thank-you note is still appreciated by most people
    D．people in a bad mood never say “thank you”
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them.
    B．About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.
    C．Most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others’ gratitude.
    D．Many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members.

    Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(论坛) asking what “PK” meant.
    “My family has been watching the ‘I Am the Singer’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
    To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
    In the case of the “I Am the Singer” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition raking.
    Like this father, Chinese teachers at Middle schools have also been finding their students using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write the compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
    “My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
    “GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” is Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl).“FB” means Fu Bai (corruption).“KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
    Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, meaning an ugly looking femal) or a Qing Wa (frog, meaning an ugly looking male ) is, you will possibly be regarded as a CaiNiao!
    小题1:By writing the article, the writer tries to _________.
    A．explain some Internet jargons
    B．suggest common Internet jargons
    C．laugh at the Beijing father
    D．draw our attention to Internet jargons
    小题2:What does the underlined word Internet jargons mean?
    A．Internet languageB．Internet action
    C．Internet behaviorD．Internet fashion
    小题3:What does the writer think about the word “PK”?
    A．Fathers can’t possibly know it.
    B．The daughter should understand it.
    C．Online game players may know it.
    D．“I Am the Singer” shouldn’t have used it.
    小题4:The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons____.
    A．are used not only onlineB．can be understood very well
    C．are welcomed by all the peopleD．cause trouble to our mother tongue
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．A Puzzled Father!B．Do You Speak Internet English?
    C．Keep away from Internet English!D．Kong Long or Qing Wa?
