    Good afternoon, everyone, I feel honor to stand here to share my ideas about the topic of communicate with our parents.

    Parents are the people which love us most, so it is necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here are my suggestions with how to make it easier to communicate with parents.

    First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t be rude to them even if they had done something wrong. They have been experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Second, whether we often talk with them about our life and experience, we will know each other better. Third, if sometimes we don’t agree with our parents decisions, we should try to put themselves in their shoes and we will soon understand them. Remember they really want is only the best for us.

    Thank you for listening.

    Since the nineteen nineties, education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen. Last December, the government announced that seventy percent of students passed their final examination to finish high school. In 2008 the passage rate was about sixty-three percent. There have been increases each year since then.

    Professor Shireen Motala at the University of Johannesburg says access to basic education is no longer the problem in South Africa. She says most children stay in school until they are about sixteen. The problem now, she says, is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school. Students take an examination known as the matric in grade twelve, their final or "matriculation" year. Professor Motala notes that less than half the children who started school in 2000 sat for the matric last year.

    Educational researchers also point to another problem. They say South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in math and science. Many schools are not well - equipped. They do not have libraries at school. Ninety - two percent of the schools do not have libraries.

    Also, education specialists say in many cases, teachers and school principals do not have the skills or training to do their jobs. In other cases, they are simply not doing their duty to provide an education. Professor Motala says a number of teachers were poorly trained during the system of apartheid(种族隔离), or racial separation in South Africa. Apartheid ended in 1994.

    Secondly, she says, teachers have been confused by the many educational reform efforts in the last fifteen years. And, finally, she thinks language differences in the classroom have not gotten as much attention as they should.

    South Africa's minister of basic education promises a number of improvements.

    1.How was thepassage rate in 2008?

    A. uncertain B. just so-so

    C. high D. low

    2.What's the Motala's attitude towards the basic education for students in South Africa?

    A. Confident. B. Hopeless.

    C. Negative. D. Worried.

    3.From the passage we know the matric is ________.

    A. an examination difficult for students to pass

    B. an examination for students in grade twelve

    C. the number of students leaving school

    D. the number of students taking exams

    4.Students in South Africa find it hard to get improved in math and science because ________.

    A. they drop out of school without finishing high school

    B. teachers don't have the abilities to teach them

    C. most schools can not provide enough equipment

    D. there aren't such subjects in most schools

    Knowing how and when to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. 1. It will help you maintain your relationships and let people know you care. It’s also easier than it seems sometimes. Read on to learn how to recognize opportunities and predict others’ needs when you leave.

    Recognize when to leave. When you’re at any kind of party, or even a one-on-one conversation，it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a goodbye much easier. 2. If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave.

    3. Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don’t like telling you that they’d like you to leave，so try to watch for signals. This may be some other family members starting to check their watch or even pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left.

    Make plans to see each other again. Saying, “See you at school tomorrow” or “Can’t wait to see you again at Christmas” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven’t already made plans, use it as an opportunity to make them.4.

    Tell the truth. It can be tempting to come up with a “good excuse” when you’re ready to leave. You don’t need to. 5. It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

    A. Watch body language.

    B. Leave when you want.

    C. Notice if the crowd seems to be decreasing.

    D. Even saying, “See you soon” suggests just that.

    E. If you want to leave, just say, “I’ll be going. See you later.”

    F. But learning to say goodbye appropriately is a must-have skill.

    G. Don’t make plans with people you don’t really care about saying goodbye to.

    第二节 读后续写（满分25分）

    阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

    On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled (骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.

    Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that's a big dog!” he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him.

    Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of hear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac's relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac's bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase（追赶）。

    Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to show down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that manfen5 once he hit the hill, he’d be easy caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh.

    At this moment, Paul and Beeky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.

    注意：

    1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

    2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

    3. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好；
