    The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.

    Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”

    The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump ” .

    Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

    1.The book Gone with the Wind was _________.

    A. first published on a newspaper B. awarded ten Academy Awards

    C. written in “The Dump” D. adapted from a movie

    2.The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.

    A. be very pleased with B. show great respect for

    C. be much taller than D. show little interest in

    3.Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?

    A. Because she was rich enough. B. Because she was injured then.

    C. Because her husband didn’t like it. D. Because she wanted to write books.

    4.Which is the best title for the passage?

    A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.

    B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.

    C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.

    D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.

    Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 1.

    I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

    First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.

    2.However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

    3.

    Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense , but it doesn’t matter.4.

    The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening . You have one mouth but two ears !All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking .

    Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.5.

    A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for nay mistakes he hears.

    B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

    C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

    D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

    E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

    F. Second , they are afraid of making mistakes.

    G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

    Social networks are a big part of nearly every teenager's life in this day and age.Many teens have QQ,WeChat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives.Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced（追踪）back to you.That includes every post,even like,comment,favorite and forward that you have ever committed.All pictures you've posted or will post have been stored in a digital database,and it is the companies' right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.

    With every post comes a consequence;whether it is good or bad,what you post could be seen by anyone.That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.

    If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture,you are probably wrong.Recently,a senior,Aaron,at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year.He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page,ignoring potential consequences.

    This student,however,did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school.Surprisingly enough,he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline（惩处）."When you agree to come to Servite,you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,"the young man said."That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm.It's at all times."

    So,next time you're about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate,think twice,think again,and don't press send.

    A. Avoid using social media.

    B. Remove their own digital documents.

    C. Be responsible for what they put online.

    D. Learn to balance their online and offline time.

    2.What mistake did Aaron make online?

    3.What did Servite do with Aaron's case?

    A. It reached an agreement with Connelly girls.

    B. It helped Aaron get rid of ill effects.

    C. It gave Aaron a severe punishment.

    D. It stood on Aaron's side.

    4.For whom is the text probably intended?
