【题目】阅读理解。
When I was in college,I was always very passionate(热情的)about music and I was proud to be a member of our band.However,I almost gave up because of my fear of playing solos(独奏).
One day two years ago my director informed me that he wanted me to be the featured soloist in a piece of music.Of course I was terrified,but he encouraged me that everything would be OK,and that he believed me and knew that I could do it.Up until four days before the concert,I could not make it through the solo.I would always seem to get discouraged before I played it.
I decided to ask my director for help thinking that he would tell me that I didn’t have to do it and that he was still proud of me.All he said was“You just have to believe yourself.”I didn’t think trying his advice would hurt,so I started the next morning differently.Instead of wondering how I could mess up,I imagined myself playing through my solo with confidence and I kept on telling myself that I could do it.
The strange thing was...it worked!After that day I played the solo without any mistake.When the big concert came,although I was a little nervous,I knew that I could do this.I didn’t know what was going to happen,but I realized that the only person that was holding me back from being my best,was myself.I believed myself.I thought things would go a little more differently than they had in the past.Of course,I played the solo wonderfully and I gained acclamation from all the audience.
Always do the thing that you fear the most,don’t get discouraged if you fail,and just keep on trying harder.

【题目】What do they really mean?
Food manufacturers and retailers are letting shoppers down. This the view of the CWS, which has just brought out a new report.
According to the report, shoppers believe food labels(标签) because they think there are strict regulations in place. 【1】. So the food industry can get away with all sorts of tricky strategies to make products look bigger and sound better than they are.
The report has identified the different ways in which shoppers are misled.【2】. Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt to oversell the product. One example given in the report is the phrase “haddock fillets”, used for a product that is in fact cut from big blocks of fish rather than individual slices.
【3】. These include “traditional”, “wholesome”, or “premium”. The claim that a brand is “90% fat-free” hides the fact that it contains 10% fat, which above recommended levels. Phrases such as “free from preservatives” make a virtue out of a normal attribute of food.
Labels have a wide variety of text sizes on them. You sometimes need a magnifying glass (放大镜) to read the small print. 【4】.
Another deliberate type of misinformation lies in the image. Many pictures on packets use small plates to make the product look bigger. 【5】.
However, misleading messages on packaging could soon be a thing of the past. The CWS recently produced a code which, if used, would end the current inaccuracies and half truths. It has called on the government to support it as a way of improving food standards.
A. Meaningless adjectives are often used to give a positive message.
B. An officer says the labels will receive very serious consideration.
C. Photographs are sometimes retouched (修饰) to achieve the same effect.
D. By contrast, the hard sell (强行推销) information is given emphasis.
E. The rules are, in reality, very weak at present.
F. This result has not pleased the food industry.
G. The most common of these is poor labeling.

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look . 【1】.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and part of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. 【2】.
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
【3】. “We do not want to kick fashion out.” the headmaster
explained, “but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
【4】. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 【5】. “I don’t really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter, when dressed like that, it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
A.But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B.A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C.He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D.Most students have simply ignored the request.
E.Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request simply for practical reasons.
F.Requests.
G.Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.
