【答案】Dear David,
I’m happy that you’re interested in our flea market and here is a brief introduction of it.
To raise students’ awareness of making the most of used things, the Students’ Union held a flea market on campus recently. The event attracted a crowd from the whole school, who came here to sell, purchase or swap used goods with their schoolmates. On the market, you could find various things, from second-hand textbooks, magazines to CDs, bikes and clothes at a lower price.
In my opinion, the flea market not only provides a platform to save resources but also helps students learn some practical skills, which may be useful for their future job hunting.
Yours,
Li Hua

【题目】
How to be more creative every day
Creativity isn’t something you either have or don’t have. In fact, it is something like playing the saxophone.【1】So read on to know how.
Be more curious.
It’s important to seek out new viewpoints every day. 【2】To involve this in your daily life, make sure to keep an open mind when you’re presented with an idea, and be curious as to what else is around the comer.
Give yourself space.
Letting every piece of information into your brain drags you from being creative. Try to apply a level of space into your everyday life. 【3】It helps to lead your thinking patterns away from potential distractions (潜在分心的事物), leaving much room to have creative ideas.
Try something new.
Frequent thinking patterns, in effect, cause you to be more likely to think the same things or make the same decisions over and over unless you get out of your comfort zone. 【4】Though not always easy, it does open up a whole new world of thinking!
【5】
Social media has created an environment where we’re constantly shown whether we’ve succeeded in the form of likes or comments, which leads us to doubt ourselves. However, creativity is a journey, and you’re learning every step of the way. Honestly, you’ll learn much more from that than a straight win anyway. So be confident and tell yourself you have already done well enough.
A. Learn from failure.
B. Remind yourself you’re good enough.
C. The 8 p. m. — 8 a. m. phone ban is a great way to begin.
D. Getting physical really helps to sort out your brain space.
E. But it’s not easy to feel or be automatically creative either.
F. Thus you can think and approach things from another angle.
G. Using your skills in a different area is a great way to think outside the box.

【题目】I felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington. Musical Aussie accents, and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee, a public affairs unpaid intern(实习) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.
During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the U.S. for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet. After reading the daily Australian and U.S. news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on, I would attend weekly meetings to listen in on planning and see what I could do to help. Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors' guides.
The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian prime minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording door-stop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. But as an intern, you will not be inside, exposed to top-secret information, when it comes to special events.
Government work is a useful addition to one's experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.
【1】What is the author talking about?
A. Her embassy internship. B. Her trouble in finding a job.
C. Her foreign culture experience. D. Her preparation for future employment.
【2】Why was the author in the Embassy of Australia for three months?
A. To apply for a visa. B. To prepare to study in Australia.
C. To record musical Aussie accents. D. To appreciate Aboriginal art exhibits.
【3】What was the author forbidden to do when the Australian prime minister visited America?
A. Record door-stop interviews. B. Know top-secret information.
C. Take pictures of special events. D. Stand among the Australian staff.
【4】What can we infer about her daily routine at the Embassy?
A. It is tiring. B. It is boring.
C. It is exciting. D. It is relaxing.

【题目】
Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development.【1】No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.
● Respect their belongings.
One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation(侵犯) of personal boundaries. 【2】 And never borrow things without asking first.
● Punctuality.
【3】 Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew(宵禁). Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.
●【4】
Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.
● Be kind.
Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.【5】
A. Be a good listener.
B. Celebrate with them.
C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.
D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.
E. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.
F. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.
G. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

科目:高中英语 来源: 题型:
【题目】Kindergarten—which means “garden for children” in German—is not kindergarten any more. It’s yesterday’s first grade, or even second.
A 2014 study compared kindergarten teachers’ expectations for their students in 1998 to today. The differences were striking. In 1998, 31 percent of teachers thought that kindergarten students should be able to read by the end of the year. By 2014, that figure is now about 80 percent. More than a third kindergarten teachers now think that kids should enter school already knowing the alphabet and how to hold a pencil.
Besides, the researchers found huge decreases in the amount of self-directed, creative play time—dress up, art, sand and water play—and increases in the amount of time students were involved in teacher-directed, whole-class instruction.
Unfortunately, kindergarten today ignores a basic fact of young children’s development that is well-known by early childhood educators: normal development in young children occurs at very different rates and in very different ways. For example, the average age that a baby starts to walk is 12 months, but some kids start walking at eight or nine months and others at 15, or even 16, months.
Similarly, the average age that a child learns to be an independent reader is about six and a half. Some learn to read at four, and others at seven, and both extremes are developmentally normal. In the fourth grade, kids who learned to read at four are typically not any better at reading than those who started at seven. Countries like Finland and Sweden do not even start formal academic schooling until age seven.
We need to respect children’s personal developmental timelines. The idea that “earlier is better” for reading instruction is simply not supported by research evidence. Children’s long-term achievement and self-identities as readers and students can be damaged when they are introduced to reading too early.
【1】What can we infer from the text?
A. Kindergarten has been replaced by first or even second grade.
B. Kindergarten teachers have higher expectations for students now.
C. Kindergarten students’ intelligence has been largely improved.
D. Children should know the alphabet before entering kindergarten.
【2】What will probably happen to children who learn to read at 7?
A. They will perform best among their classmates.
B. They will have difficulty becoming an independent reader.
C. They will catch up with those who learn to read earlier.
D. They will fall behind those who learn to read earlier forever.
【3】What should kindergarten teachers do according to the text?
A. Increase the time in whole-class instruction.
B. Pay more attention to children’s academic level.
C. Encourage children to learn at their own pace.
D. Raise children’s competitive spirit at an early age.
【4】How does the author feel about the present education in kindergarten?
A. Ashamed. B. Cautious. C. Satisfied. D. Concerned.
