Dear editor,
I have been getting along well with my father. However, as I’m in Senior Three now, the question whether I should live at school or come back home for the nights has come to our family discussion. My father and I have different opinions over the matter and we are arguing over it these days.
My father insists that I should live at school. In the previous two years, I have been spending about 80 minutes every day to and from school. Living at school can help save a lot of time. In this way, I can have more time for my studies.
On the other hand, what I believe is that I should spend my nights at home. First of all, if I come home for the nights, I will have more freedom to arrange my studies. Meanwhile, I will have more time to communicate with my parents, which will make us understand each other better.
I don’t want to make compromises and neither does my father, as it seems. Could you tell me what I should do? I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.
Your sincere reader,
Teddy

Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people's attention again.
The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. "The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago," Herrera told us in an email. "The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes."
Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching (画) figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称)pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he'll have even more work in the future.
Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren't for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.
1.From the text, we know that Herrera ______.
A. can make snowflakes with his daughter's help
B. made more complicated designs before 2013
C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011
D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes
2.Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______
A. he has to design detailed and different patterns
B. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cutting
C. he spends much time designing, scanning and cutting
D. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like
3.By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.
A. offer us more information about Herrera’s paper cutting
B. tell us how to download picture of snowflakes
C. instruct people to be a real creative artist
D. remind us of being patient with Herrera’s designs

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
My mother has always instilled in me the importance of education. Education is essential. It will help me get accepted to college if I perform well academically and advance my opportunities for success in the future. Most jobs now require at least a high school diploma, and for many jobs, a college degree is preferred. It is important that all students have excellent educators in their life to help them achieve and have the opportunity to go to college, get a job, support themselves and their family, and impact the community.
As we celebrate and honor all teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, I’ve reflected on the impact my teachers have had, and will continue to have, in my life. From Mr. Bowker, who challenged me in math, to Mr. Bernsteen, my health teacher who taught me the value of hard work, my teachers have helped shape the student I am today. But one of the teachers who left a lasting impression on me was my summer school teacher, Mr. Davis, who impacted me beyond the classroom. He found time to connect with me on a personal level and talk to me after class. I felt like Mr. Davis cared about my academic success and was committed to setting an example of what’s possible.
Mr. Davis could relate to what it was like to be a rising ninth-grade black male in today’s society. He taught me how to speak up confidently and share my ideas with others. He told me that I was brilliant and that when I spoke, the world should listen. And when I would put my hand down because I was unsure of my answer, Mr. Davis would immediately say, “No guts, no glory.” He never made me feel inadequate; he encouraged me to always pursue knowledge because he, too, was learning every day. Mr. Davis helped me navigate the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities.
I think having more black male teachers like Mr. Davis in the classroom could increase student success. They would share the background and experiences of many of their students and help build long-lasting teacher/student relationships. But, unfortunately, the likelihood that students of color in Nevada will have a teacher that looks like them is one of the lowest in the country.
As the student population becomes more ethnically diverse, teachers in Nevada still are predominantly white. According to a 2012 Education Week report, in the Clark County School District, nearly 70 percent of students identified as students of color, but 76 percent of teachers were white. The numbers for black male teachers are more discouraging. Just 2 percent of teachers nationwide are black men.
But you can help change the numbers. Whether you decide to study education in college or graduate school, or apply to programs in Las Vegas such as Teach For America, I hope more black males will consider teaching as a career.
My peers and I need more examples of excellence and success in classrooms—examples who look like us. You can be the model to impact our life and push us to achieve. You can ensure that, when we look to the front of the room, we can see a little bit of ourselves reflected back.
1.Mr. Davis left the author with a very deep impression mainly because he ________.
A. was extremely knowledgeable and hard-working
B. was a role model to teach hearts and change minds
C. spent much time helping the author with his homework
D. kept in close touch with the author even after graduation
2.The underlined word “guts” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. bravery B. connection
C. opportunity D. qualification
3. By writing the passage, the author intends to ________.
A. show students’ love for their teachers
B. appeal to more black males to be teachers
C. express sympathy for students of color
D. advertise for black male teachers

Many years ago, I went through a tough time.One afternoon, I picked my girls up.It was late when we returned home.I went to unlock the door and found my key wouldn’t go in.I kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight.When she returned with it we found somehow the lock had been “stuffed” with sunflower seed shells.Thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good, I really didn’t give it much consideration.
I found all windows were locked up tight.So I returned to the back door.Oh my God, I will never forget the shock of that moment.The house was empty!Other than a few things remaining on the back porch, everything was gone!Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up.They inquired why I had broken into the house.They then asked me for proof that I lived at that address, so I asked them to wait a minute while I went to get my rent receipt and identification from inside the house.I explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock.
At this point they were not buying any of my story.I could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought I was breaking into an empty house for somewhere to sleep.
I asked a neighbor for the phone number of house owner and the officer made a call.The owner was quite shocked to hear my story.She said that my roommate had been going through an eviction(驱逐)process with the court when I moved in with her and had lost the case.She had been ordered to move by 10 am on that date.The court order had been issued the same day I had paid her 1/2 of the rent and a deposit of $300,000.
The owner was very kind and understanding but there was nothing she could do.The house had been rented already and the people were to move in the following weekend.
The officers let me go and I went to gather my girls into the car.They were both exhausted and old.Also very frightened, because they thought their mamma was going to jail.I had to pull over because the tears took control.I couldn’t believe it!Everything we owned was gone, I had used up all our money moving in and paying my “friend” our share of costs.I knew very few people in town, as we had just moved there recently.
I went to sit back in the car with the girls, I talked to the girls, explaining our situation to them so that they wouldn’t be afraid.During this time there was a “street person” with a bag, looking in the garbage for cans, bottles, and anything that might bring him some cash.But I didn’t pay much attention to him.I decided to get the girls something to eat for breakfast.We grabbed some bread, and chips and returned for a “picnic”.When we got there, I noticed that the man was not alone.He was with a small group of others like him and they were passing a hat amongst themselves.
I was busy setting up our little “picnic” when I heard a voice saying, “MaAm, please excuse… but…well…I overheard the situation you are in, and well… I and the fellows took up a collection for you and your little girls.It’s not very much, but maybe it’ll help a little.” I looked up at this man---dirty, needing a shave ----and saw the face of an angel.I started crying.The man tried to hand me $30.I folded his hand back over the money and just hugged him as tight as I could.I told him, “Thank you for your more than generous offer, but we are going to be just fine.” He didn’t believe me at first, but I convinced him that it was okay.
Later that afternoon I went to the market and bought the making for a barbecue and off to that little park.It didn’t take us very long to find those gentlemen and invite them to join us for lunch.I had a wonderful afternoon that day, sitting there with those old guys, singing songs.They had some of the most entertaining stories and they shared the dreams they once had.They shared themselves… from the heart.
