A
Creative Writing — by Mrs. A. McClellan
Creative writing is a course in which we study and apply the methods used in various forms of fiction writing. Writing is a skill of art in itself. We are guided by Ezra Pound’s opinion: “Make it new.” Creative writing does not only provide us with an opportunity to express ourselves, but also holds our attention to word choice, paragraph development, and other skills useful in writing.
B
Journalism — by Dr. E. Brandt
Journalism is a course for seniors, in which we will cover how to gather, write, and report the news. We will discuss how information is, or can be, organized. This course also aims to develop communication skills required of journalists.
C
A classic is a literary work that has stood the test of time. Generations of readers have turned to classics to discover which is ever-lasting. Through both the works themselves and the people they mirror, we may better be able to see ourselves. In this course, we will read works in both British and American literature. We will write reviews of what we read.
D
Technical Writing — by Mr. J. Allen
What is technical writing? It is the course devoted to improving your communication skills in, for, and through technology. Activities for this course will help you develop communication skills that are necessary for writers and speakers working with technology or in business.

Non-fiction — by Dr. M. Tim
The course is a study of non-fiction through reading many different types of non-fiction. The course will also be about the possible changes in journalistic reporting and the sharing of personal stories of various people on various topics such as travel and adventure. We will examine some of the best writing in the world and deal with the techniques used in this text type.
F
World Literature — by Mrs. A. McClellan
World Literature examines the common people found in quality Literature worldwide, from Europe to America, from Asia to Africa, and introduces a variety of cultural background at different points in history. In these worlds, we find not only what is unique to each culture, but what is universal. We are also able to tell what makes a good story, no matter from where or whom the story springs.

【小题2】Joseph is good at the language arts, and in his spare time he likes to write short stories. It is his wish that his stories would be printed in local newspapers. So he is thinking of taking a course to develop his writing skills, such as wording and paragraph organization.

But few of them are accepted because of poor organization of information. She feels the need to improve her writing and communication skills next term.
【小题4】Ian traveled worldwide with his parents when he was very young. Under their influence, he becomes greatly interested in stories of travel and adventure. He hopes to write his own stories in the future. So next term, he will choose a course to study the best writing of this type.
【小题5】Susan comes from China. As a junior back home, she wrote quite a lot of short stories, some of which were published in newspapers. Her parents suggest she read some classics by Asian and Western writers. She thinks it helpful in her writing. So she is going to take a course of this kind next term.
【小题1】C
【小题2】A
【小题3】B
【小题4】E
【小题5】F

【小题3】Anna 由于信息组织能力的缺乏而失去了很多在报纸上发表文章的机会,因此她应该参加 Journalism 的课程来了解“how information is or can be organizes”。选B

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit and that can be a very annoying thing. 【小题1】 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1. 【小题2】
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 【小题3】 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 【小题4】
3. Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 【小题5】 Or go dancing with your friends.
A.Focus on the future. |
B.This can be especially harmful to the aged. |
C.It should be something like learning gardening. |
D.So take a few minutes each day to do some reading. |

阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。把答案填涂在答题卡上相应的题号的答案标号上,如答案是E把AB同时一起涂黑,如答案是F把 CD同时一起涂黑。
首先请阅读下列六种家用电器的介绍:
A. Morphy Richards Coffee Maker
It has a programmable timer, so you can wake up to the smell coffee. The easy-clean filter(过滤器) and anti-drip device make it simple to maintain(保养).
B. Philips Juicers
It gives you all the juice thanks to its patented micro-mesh filter and powerful 700W motor. The extra-large feeding tube easily takes whole fruits and vegetables.
C. Panasonic Bread Makers
It is perfect for small living spaces. You’ll enjoy wonderful fresh bread at the time you choose. It has a digital 13-hour timer, which is great for cooking a loaf overnight ready for breakfast.
D. KDWTTB10 Compact Dishwasher
Stylishly designed in black, it is as good looking as it functions. It promises to leave your dishes sparklingly clean, again and again!
E. Russell Hobbs Regency Kettle
Its features: a rapid boil 3 KW concealed element for last boiling and easy cleaning; blue illumination when boiling; and double water gauges(测量仪) for ease of viewing when filling.
F. Hoover Optima 6 kg Washing Machine
It features a unique “teardrop” door design and is user-friendly, which makes laundry days a little easier. Additional features include a countdown digital display.
以下是用户体验,请匹配与之对应的家用电器。
【小题1】It is a great size for a small kitchen. I think its sleek black design is much more stylish than my old machine. You select the temperature setting your requirements and then shut the door and press the start button. It is very handy. It wipes clean easily as well. It also has an effective drying cycle so items are very dry. The anti flood device gives me much more security and the performance has been brilliant.
【小题2】I think it’s amazing. It looks great. It also cleans great. It has more than enough settings for all your wash needs and is extremely quiet during all washing cycle, even on the 1600 spin. With 1600 rpm speed of spin, the clothes are almost dry when they come out! It leaves the contents spotlessly clean. The big door is very handy if you want to wash duvets(羽绒服). I do love this washing machine!
【小题3】You get what you pay for and it’s not expensive. With an otherworldly light, it tells you how long the pot’s been sitting on the warmer. And after an hour, it shuts itself off. In my experience, the biggest problem is that there is no way you can make a full pot of coffee unless you like it incredibly weak.
【小题4】I have not been disappointed with it. The flip-top lid makes it easy to fill. The large transparent “window” makes it easy to see how much you are putting in—so you can choose the number of cups. It looks great, boils quickly and holds plenty of water. The blue light up display when boiling is a fun feature. I think it’s a good kettle and definitely worthy money.
【小题5】All I have to do is put the ingredients into its pan and select my type and the time when I want it finished. If you want to wake up to fresh loaf, you have to work out how many hours it will be between the time you switch it on and the time you want it to be ready. Meanwhile, the recipe that comes with it is very accurate and after three and a half hour you’ll have the most tasteful bread you ever tried.

Move More
Make it a daily to find ways to move your body. 【小题1】Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator(电梯). Walk your dog; play with your kids. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute dance class. But that’s great when you’re up to it. At the same time, move more.
Give up Smoking
Ever since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products. Just recently, we’ve seen more and more teens smoking. Could it be the Hollywood influence? 【小题2】 Take care! Warn your children against smoking.
