    Do you know how to tell a story? The following are some tips:

    Who Will Listen?

    Will you tell your story to people of your own age? Will they be friendsor young people you haven’t met before? Perhaps you will tell it to younger children, or will it be an audience of adults? Will it be just a few people, a small group, or a large audience?

    Why Are You Telling It?

    There are many reasons for telling a story. Knowing why you are telling it may be the most helpful reason in choosing a story for a particular audience.

    Many storytellers choose tales just to entertain(娱乐). They tell jokes or silly stories. Others want to teach something, such as how to be kinder to animals, the environment, or other people. One storyteller likes to encourage his listeners to try new things. Some babysitters tell stories to help children not to be afraid of thunder, lightning or frightening shadows in their rooms. Others want to make people think or to help people remember. Some like to frighten their audience with ghost (鬼) stories.

    Where Will You Speak?

    How you tell your story and what story helpers you use will depend on where you will be speaking. Will you be talking at an evening party, in your classroom, in a library storytelling program, at a family dinner, at a museum, or at a storytelling festival?

    1.The passage is mainly about ___________.

    A. the audience to whom you tell stories

    B. the situation where you can tell a story

    C. the reasons for telling a story

    D. important tips for telling a story

    2.The author shows his ideas by ______.

    A. description B. listing questions

    C. making comparisons D. reciting

    3.The purpose of knowing why you are telling a story is to ____________.

    A. decide what helpers you need

    B. do something good to animals, the environment or other people

    C. choose stories suitable (合适的) for certain audience

    4.What decides how you tell your story according to the passage?

    A. The place where you will tell your story.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    If you are studying at school, do be a polite and clever student! There is no excuse for not doing your assignments (作业). If you can’t come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask about homework. It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of the missed assignments.

    You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test, you should take the test again within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

    Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

    In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of “teacher”. Also you should use Mr. Miss, Ms or Mrs. before the last name (such as Mrs. Smith or Mr. Jones). This is polite. The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don’t do these until the break. Also, removing your shoes in the classroom is not polite.

    1.What should you do if you miss a class?

    A. Give an excuse for missing the assignments.

    B. Tell the teacher you can’t come to school or do the assignments.

    C. Call your teacher or your classmate to find out what assignments were given.

    D. Ask your teacher to remind you of the missed assignments.

    2.What does “a make-up test” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

    A. A test for all students.

    B. A test for the students missing the last test.

    C. A test for the students with low scores.

    D. A test for whoever missed the last test.

    3.When can a student miss a test according to the passage?

    A. When he/she is late for the test.

    B. When he/she doesn’t want to have the test.

    C. When he/she failed another test.

    D. When he/she is really sick.

    4.In America, if your teacher’s name is Susan Black, what should you call her politely?

    A. Teacher Black. B. Ms Susan.

    C. Susan Black. D. Ms Black.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    Werewolves (狼人) aren’t the only creatures affected by the moon’s cycles（周期）. A full moon also affects people’s sleep more or less, reports a Swiss team of scientists. Even people who sleep in a lab without windows could reduce their sleeping time a little once a month.

    To test the moon’s influence, 33 adults of both sexes and ages of many kinds spent several nights in a sleep lab. As they slept, researchers recorded their brain activity, eye movements and hormone levels (荷尔蒙水平). On nights closer to a full moon, the sleepers took an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep, and slept for 20 minutes less. In addition, brain activity fell by 30 percent during the sleep. And hormone levels that help control sleep cycles went down. On these nights, the sleepers complained they couldn’t sleep well even though they didn’t know the moon’s cycle. On the bright side, no sleeper turned into a werewolf.

    The Swiss team doesn’t know how the moon affects sleep. The gravity (重力) of the moon causes ocean tides（潮汐）to rise and fall. But that force is too weak to affect sleep, Gajochen says. He believed some body’s biological clock may be affected by the moon cycles. There may be another reason, says David Dinges. This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive（敏感的）to light at night. Those sleepers could have been affected by having too much moonlight before arriving at the lab.

    1.The writer mentioned “werewolves” in the first paragraph to ________.

    A. show there are the moon’s cycles

    B. attract people’s attention to the report

    C. introduce a creature to readers

    D. ask people not to sleep alone in the lab

    2.What happened to the sleepers during the experiment on a full moon?

    A. They slept for about five minutes longer.

    B. They could only sleep for 20 minutes.

    C. Their brains were not as active as they were

    D. They complained they were too tired to sleep.

    3.The last paragraph is developed mainly by ________.

    A. analyzing (分析) reasons B. explaining differences

    C. making comparisons D. following the time order

    4.The passage is mainly about ________.

    A. the sleeping problems caused by the moon’s cycles

    B. the influence of the moon on human sleeping habits

    C. the moon’s influence on sleeping and its possible reasons

    D. the ways to get a better sleep on a full moon night

    There is 1. old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the 2. (busy) day of the week”. How many 3. (time) have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? I’d say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here are the reasons.

    Tomorrow is not promised. Nobody likes to talk about 4. (dead), but the reality is—5. is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave 6. unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.
