    Dear Mom and Dad,
    I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school master is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room .I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket. It caught fire.
    There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon the whole room was burning. The master phoned the fire brigade. The school is a long way from the town and before the fire brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. The master said that the fire was all my fault and I must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
    I'm very sorry for this.
    Much love   
    Sarah

    Juan came to the U.S. with his mother and older brother at eight. He is hoping for the DREAM Act to be      47 . While he admits that there is no obvious prejudice in high school, Juan   48  faces unfair racial treatment.

    A sign can be found in the front yard of a house in the US. The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won’t run into the street. So, they hire a company to set up an “invisible fence”, an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the “fence”, the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog “safe” (away from the street) and “at home” (contained inside the yard).
    The small word “BRAND” printed in blue means that “Invisible Fence” is registered as the company’s brand name. Similarly, the “TM” printed after “your dog safe at home” stands for “trade mark”, a slogan registered specifically to one company.
    小题1: The people set up an “invisible fence” _________.
    A．to let their dog play outside their house
    B．to keep their dog away from the edge of the yard
    C．to keep their dog inside their yard
    D．to warn others not to enter their house
    小题2: Which is NOT true about the “invisible fence”?
    A．The fence does not exist at all.
    B．The “Invisible Fence” is the name of a company.
    C．Without the special collar, the fence won’t work on the dog.
    D．Science and technology play an important part in it.

    We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.
    The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has-discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(降解) in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a ＄10,000 prize, a ＄20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.
    Burd’s strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms (微生物). If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.
    With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted(调制) a solution of household chemicals, yeast(酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth. Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months. Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control. Sure enough, the plastic exposed to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.
    The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.
    “Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me. One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags. The answer: not much. So I decided to do something myself.” Said Daniel Burd.
    小题1:Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair because      .
    A．he found a new kind of microorganism
    B．he contributed much to environmental protection
    C．he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter time
    D．he could encourage microbe growth in an easier way
    小题2: Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to      .
    A．make the live bacteria work betterB．test how effective his method was
    C．know which bacteria worked fasterD．control the temperature in the process
    小题3:
    Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because       .
    A．plastics can get hot easilyB．microbes can produce heat themselves
    C．much carbon dioxide is producedD．the temperature can be controlled
    小题4: Daniel Burd got his idea from       .
    A．his school textbookB．the failure of researchers
    C．his everyday workD．the practice of other people

    One of the most difficult things for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones.
    We once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the Recreation Center all the kids went to. My husband and I looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. I had the kids sign up (报名) the next day so that they could know more kids there.
    Another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. They were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. This also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them I sometimes got some useful ideas for my new books.
    If you’re just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it won’t really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. If they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. Thus, your children won’t feel “lost” without their old friends.
    If you’re able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. I know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the child’s parents. Think how happy the kids will be when they meet!
    小题1:The author had her kids sign up for the summer camp mainly because _____.
    A．she could afford the costB．she was asked to do so by her kids
    C．it could give her kids a chance to meet more kids
    D．it could make the summer holiday not so boring
    小题2:What is probably the author?
    A．A housewife.B．A business woman.C．A teacher.D．A writer.
    小题3:What we can’t learn from the passage is that ____. 
    A．a summer camp at the Recreation Center was very cheap
    B．having the kids take part in sports is good for both the author and her kids
    C．parents should ask their children not to think of their old friends
    D．parents should create more chances for children to make new friends
    小题4:The purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to ______ when they move to a new place. 
    A．get used to the new life in a short time
    B．help their children make new friends and keep the old ones
    C．get along with their new neighbors
    D．help their children get used to the new school life

      What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板).
    Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.
    Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally. 
    By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.
    The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
    小题1: The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is ___.
    A．your supporter and helps youB．under your control and obeys you
    C．under your influence and follows youD．your slave and serves you
    小题2: The author intends to tell you that time __________.
    A．could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
    B．should be well managed for our own interest
    C．should be saved for outside interests
    D．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
    小题3: In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you _________.
    A．how to make up for lost timeB．how to have a good time
    C．how to make good use of timeD．how to keep up with the times

    “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation(回声)．It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side．
    We were both in great anger．“Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father．With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．
    The street lights were shining rather desolately(凄凉的)．I wandered aimlessly．
    A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious．
    But now… I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always imposes his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
    I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on．
    In fact, it was nothing．Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can’t stand his outrageous(蛮横的) words: “ I can throw you away, let alone these old papers．”
    All the lights were off except father’s．
    Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself．After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
    This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
    The light was still on．“Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last, I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love is second to none．
    小题1:Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage．
    a．I opened the door and entered the house．
    b．Sadly I ran out into the street．
    c．I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit．
    d．I thought of my father’s kindness towards me．
    e．I walked about in the street without any aim．
    A．b, e, d, c, aB．b, e, c, d, aC．b, e, a, c, dD．b, e, c, a, d
    小题2:What made the writer think of his childhood?
    A．The sight of the desolate street lights．
    B．The sight of the empty street．
    C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms．
    D．The sight of light in his own house．
    小题3:Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
    A．Perhaps the father is getting older and older．
    B．Perhaps the son has already grown up．
    C．Perhaps they never agree with each other．
    小题4:What conclusion can you draw after reading the passage?
    A．The father is actually kind to his son．
    B．The father treats his son in an unfair way．
    C．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son．
    D．The father is always finding fault with his son．

    One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
    When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different -- we cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that’s ingrained（根深蒂固的）in our culture.
    The root of unhappiness is that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place. We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It’s not bad or good, as it just is.”
    An example: in my recent post（帖子）, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind, quite a few commentators thought my outlook was negative, pessimistic, or fatalistic（听天由命的）... because I said you should expect people to mess up, expect things to go differently from what you planned. Above all, you should embrace that.
    It’s too negative to expect something to go wrong, they said. However, I think it’s only negative if you see it as negative, or if you judge it as bad.
    Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works -- as the way things actually are. And try to understand why they are that way.
    Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But changing things is not because you can’t accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of change of learning and growing.
    Can we make this world a better place? Again, that’s an assumption that it’s a bad place fight now. But instead, you could say the world is just what it is -- and that’s neither good nor bad. You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world -- not because you’re such a bad person now, but because that’s the path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path.
    As you catch yourself judging, and wishing for different -- try a different approach: accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.
    小题1: Which of the following statements is correct according to the author?
    A．We can never change things because we can’t accept them.
    B．We shouldn’t try to do whatever we can to help others and make a difference.
    C．It’s wrong of you to expect things to go differently.
    D．There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
    小题2: What’s the main idea of the whole passage?
    A．The world is a good place for us to live in.
    B．Unhappiness comes from what we want to be different.
    C．You might as well accept the world as it is and try to embrace it.
    D．Let’s make the world more beautiful.
    小题3:Where does the passage probably come from?
    A．A novel.B．A news story.C．A travel guide.D．A magazine.

    Dear All，
    Happy New Year! A list of important dates for this term is attached to this letter．
    Interviews for our April and September Primary One classes will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday，18th&19th January．Now is the time to apply for admission to Peak School．
    Children are expected to weal their uniforms this term．As is usual at this time of the year，mornings at the school are quite cold and l would suggest children wear their sweaters to school．As the temperature goes up during the day，children tend to take off their outer clothes，so it is important that all sweatshirts are labeled(贴有标签)．
    I have received a few requests from parents asking if their children can wear summer uniforms this term．I am of the view that all children in the school should follow the school policy and be dressed in the appropriate uniforms．In the longer term，a number of US at school have questioned the need to have a winter and summer uniform．Perhaps．with careful consideration，we can develop a uniform that will serve children for the whole academic year．
    As the foggy(多雾)mornings start to appear，a number of parents have raised concerns over the safety of those children who walk to school．  Our dark green uniforms are not particularly visible to motorists．Hopefully, the “Uniform Committee” to be set up this term will deal with this particular issue．I will keep parents informed of the channels through which views may be expressed in future newsletters．
    We still have a “No Hat，No Play” rule on the playground，so children need to ensure that they have their sunhats in school at all times．
    Yours sincerely，
    P D Tunesi
    Principal

    小题2:This letter was mainly written to      ．
    A．teachersB．visitorsC．students D．parents
