【题目】When I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 in the morning.
We need every one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you're not just quitting on yourself, but you're quitting on your country. No one's written your destiny(命运) for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.
But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work.You're not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practise.

【题目】 Many years ago, a French naturalist, the Count de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history. 【1】.
Thomas Jefferson did not like what the Count had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that the Count had gone out of his way to speak of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant. 【2】. He, too, was a naturalist, as well as a historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788,Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Count de Buffon. 【3】. He said, “The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”
【4】. However, in 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.”
【5】. Today, belittle is used, not only in the United States and England, but in other countries where the English language is spoken. It seems that efforts to belittle the word did not stop people from using it.
A.The books were a great success even though some people did not like them
B.They talked about the great cultural relics of different countries
C.Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it
D.The Count de Buffon was thought highly of at that time
E.At that moment, Jefferson created a new word -- belittle
F.This expert failed to kill the word
G.This troubled Thomas Jefferson

【题目】 People who sleep fewer than six hours a night are more likely to die early, researchers in University of Warwick have found in a recent study. They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the recommended six to eight hours a night.
The researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. However, the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death. Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early, as an article in the latest Sleep suggested. That directly contradicts another passage in the same journal last month suggesting that people who slept for ten hours or longer a night were more likely to live to 100. This was thought to be because people who lived into extreme old age were healthier and therefore slept better.
However, the authors of the latest research contradicted this and suggested that long sleep was a sign of underlying illnesses such as depression and low levels of physical activity. Professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said: “ While short sleep may represent a cause of ill-health, long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill-health.”
He also mentioned: “ Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take, and this pattern is more common among full-time workers, suggesting that it may be due to social pressures for longer working hours. On the other hand, the worsening of our health is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time.”
“Consistently sleeping six to eight hours per night may be good for health. However, whether to achieve the goal depends on various factors such as the environment as well as measures of public health aimed at favourable changes of the working environments,” Professor Francesco Cappuccio added.
【1】What did researchers in University of Warwick find?
A.People who sleep fewer than 6 hours each night die before 65.
B.Sleeping for more than 9 hours a night does good to one's health.
C.Six to eight hours’ sleep can be appropriate for people.
D.People at an old age are healthier because they sleep longer.
【2】What is Professor Francesco Cappuccio most likely to agree with?
A.Long sleep is what causes our health problems.
B.Modern people sleep less because they work longer.
C.Our health becomes worse because we sleep less.
D.How long we sleep depends on our education.
【3】What did the researcher think may help people have proper sleep?
A.Social pressure.B.Longer working hours.
C.Extension of sleeping time.D.Changes of working environments.
【4】What can be the best title for this passage?
A.How Long Should We SleepB.Longer Sleep Makes Better Health
C.Time to Sleep EarlyD.The Importance of Sleep

【题目】Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by . Newspapers , magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches . Professional boxers earn a lot of money , and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
It seems to me that people , especially men ,find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport . When they watch a boxing match , they can identify with the winning boxer , and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves . It is a fact that many people have feeling of aggression from time to time , but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives . 【1】
However , there is a negative side to boxing . 【2】 Although boxers wear gloves during the fights , and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets , there have frequently been accident in both professional and amateur boxing , sometimes with dramatic consequences . Boxers have suffered from head injuries , and occasionally , fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. 【3】 Sometimes even if a boxer has never been knocked out, he might have suffered severe brain damage without knowing it.
【4】 I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society . I believe that the world is aggressive enough already ! Of course , people like competitive sports , and so do I , but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
A.Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression .
B.I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing .
C.In my personal opinion, boxing can be so thrilling that many people dare not to have a try.
D.Professional boxers are much more at risk than their amateur counterparts.
E.Furthermore , studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing
F.It is likely to threaten personal safety of people.
