    Do You Have the Time? In English, this question has two different meanings. The first one is “Do you know what time it is？” While commonly, this is less frequently used than the simpler question with the same meaning “What time is it？” The other is “Do you have the time (e.g.to do this or that)？” This is a very commonly asked question, whether in American, British, or Australian English. I think the response “I don't have the time” is most commonly used year after year. _1.

    Think about how often you (and I) have used this as an explanation of why we couldn't do something, take on a new task, help someone, visit someone, etc. Sometimes it's a statement of fact, and sometimes it's just an excuse. 2. However, deep down we each have a pretty clear idea of the difference. In practical terms, the lack of available time seems to be and often is a true reason for why we cannot take something on. 3. “I just don't have the time” is too often an escape. Once we get to a certain age, when we are generally considered to be grown?ups, we are expected to have developed time management skills. In many instances, “I don't have the time” has the same meaning as “I am not willing to make the time”. Sure, we're all busy, but in the end, it's a matter of which is more important.

    4. It doesn't grow on trees or fall from the sky like raindrops. You make the time as well as most of the related decisions about what is important. 5. If you don't decide on the use of your time, the decision will be taken away from you. It's really up to us to decide on how to balance and manage time, and that's a challenge.

    A．No one gives you the time.

    B．After all, it's so convenient as an excuse.

    C．The key is what criteria you rely on to make decisions.

    D．The distinction here between them is blurry (模糊不清的) and subjective.

    E．Be aware it's the world's most common excuse, whether you speak it out or not.

    F．But it does mean we need to develop a clear approach to time management.

    G．Actually if we try to rearrange our time, or make a sacrifice, we can make it.

    Dear Grandma,

    It was nice seeing you at Christmas. You looked so happy!

    After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on（反思） what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．

    I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks. We made many "playhouses" in the woods．

    We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．

    You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．

    But you taught me how to fix it．

    I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．

    Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．

    Love always,

    Kelly

    You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you're not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?

    If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She's a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.

    “The trophy has to stand for something，” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.

    Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.

    “I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts.”

    Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”

    There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.

    1.According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?

    A．Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.

    B．David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.

    C．Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.

    D．Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.

    2.Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?

    A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.

    B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.

    C．Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.

    D．It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.

    3.The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．

    A．honour B．choose

    C．value D．stress

    4.Which shows the correct structure of the text?

    Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A plot of the story below is true ... but did it really happen quite like this?

    Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt. It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery (谜) of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo.

    One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.

    The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen. It was over 3,000 years old, but in beautiful condition — gold, with bright paintings on it. Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking?price. He gave the man a cheque immediately.

    The cheque was never cashed. That evening the American adventurer died. For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain. However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. The arm had to be cut off.

    After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland. On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. The now?terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London. A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, Jones' mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it. In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.

    Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit, and a manager also died for no apparent reason. In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. They sold it to a collector in New York.

    At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case. For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong?room was the mummy case. Or so they say.

    1.In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to ________.

    A．forgotten B．uncommon

    C．expensive D．unlucky

    2.In what order did the following events occur?

    a．The case was given to the British Museum.

    b．Janet Jones caught a mysterious illness.

    c．Murray's arm was cut off.

    d．The mummy case was sold to an American.

    e．A man who took a picture of the case died.

    f．Warnings were written on the tomb's walls.

    A．f，c，b，a，e，d B．c，f，b，a，e，d

    C．d，f，b，c，a，e D．f，a，c，b，e，d

    3.According to the passage, where is the Egyptian mummy now?

    A．At the British Museum. B．In New York.

    C．In Egypt. D．Under the sea.

    4.What is the main purpose of this passage?

    A．To entertain readers with a story of mystery.

    B．To introduce an important historical event to readers.

    C．To warn readers about the dangers of mummies' curses.

    D．To inform readers about the true cause of the Titanic's sinking.

    It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.

    Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool?headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

    However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

    An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give?and?take (互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

    1.The passage mainly talks about ________.

    A．traffic jams B．good manners

    C．road politeness D．modern drivers

    2.Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.

    A．traffic jams

    B．the behavior of the drivers

    C．the great speed of modern life

    D．terrible road conditions

    3.According to the writer, a good driver should ________.

    A．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to

    B．beat back when forced to face rude driving

    C．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it

    D．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel

    4.It is not always right for drivers to ________.

    A．master the roadmanship

    B．neglect politeness when they see it

    C．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

    D．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

    On Punctuality

    A punctual man is in the habit of doing everything at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

    The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. 1. There is a proverb that says, “Time flies never to be recalled.” This is very true. 2. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself, and the unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his own valuable assets as well as others'. The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or to return calls, or to keep appointments promptly. 3. He knows that he can't get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

    4._ If a person is invited to a dinner and arrives later than expected, he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting him alone. This is great disrespect.

    5. Imagine how it would be if those who are entrusted with important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or his fellow men. And the unpunctual man is a source of annoyance both to others and to himself.

    A．Failure to be punctual is a sign of disrespect towards others.

    B．A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained.

    C．He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both his time and his good name.

    D．Unpunctuality is very harmful when it comes to doing one's duty.

    E．Of these the former are the majority.

    F．But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it.

    G．Broadly speaking, humans can be divided into two classes.
