It was sunny and warm so Jane and I decide to go for a swim. When we got the beach, Tim, Paul and Mary were already here. We joined them and spent the afternoon swimming. The sea was as smooth as the mirror. I was pleased and Tim and Paul were a little disappointing as they like swimming in huge waves. When we got hungry, we bought hotdogs from a shop closely to the beach. After that, we had enough energies to play football on the sands. Paul and I won the game, in which surprised the others because we had three in their team. We really enjoyed the afternoon.

What has become of these women in white? 【2】 One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the workforce, but their options have greatly increased. 【3】In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. 【4】

Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. 【5】 Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal（致命的）diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.

A.The answer lies in not one but several causes.

B.Many students are actually away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.

C.Today, however, many nurses have lost their jobs and led a poor life.

D.There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers.

E.Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I.

F.Women are treated unfairly when applying for jobs for quite a long time.

G.In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years.

It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.

Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.

By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said. “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”

In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said. “No one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.

A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 102. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action.

Paragraph 1: The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me.

Paragraph 2: I’m still going to school.

Many high school students in the United States get training in construction skills by building real houses. The project 【1】 (run) by the Waterloo Career Center. The center offers students different programs designed 【2】 (prepare) them for careers in technical fields.

Students from the Waterloo Community School District 【3】 (recent) took part in construction training that centered on the skill of masonry (砖石建筑)—work done with stone, brick or concrete materials. The students spent five days at their school learning 【4】 experienced workers from the Masonry Institute of Iowa, a 【5】(profession) organization. The workers taught the students 【6】 to mix mortar (砂浆)and build walls with bricks and blocks. The students moved the mortar onto 【7】 (piece) of wood and then added bricks and blocks to form walls.

Chris Busch helped oversee the students’ efforts. As the students worked, Busch 【8】(offer) them an important piece of advice. He told the students to be sure to use a leveling tool to check that the wall stands straight and level. West High student Nathan Elliott told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier newspaper that this kind of learning was much better 【9】 sitting at a computer. Other students also said it got them 【10】(excite) about future careers in construction.

In the years since that painful season, I have come to look back upon New Year’s Eve. New Year’s Eve brings a halt to the endless commitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect. New Year’s Eve is full of possibility and anticipation. What will be the surprising experiences and delightful successes in the coming year? But also, what disappointments are waiting for us in the next twelve months?

In many ways, New Year’s Eve and the days that surround it are a line between past and future. That line is made up of a series of moments of transition (过渡) that take us out of the old and into the new. Transition can be challenging for many of us. It’s about letting go of the familiar and diving headlong (迅猛地) into the unfamiliar.

Just as, back then, I had to face letting go of the life I had led with my beloved husband and stepping into a new world as a widowed mom, I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.

Last year at this time, I sat in a chair in southern France and drank in the stillness (沉静) and beauty of the countryside around me. The three children I had brought into this world talked and laughed around the table beside me as we enjoyed a lunch of bread and cheese.

I was filled with a sense of joy and I had a glowing (热情洋溢的) heart that was full of hope. It was another ending and another beginning. May we all transition into the best of what lies ahead. May we all find happiness in this holiday season.

Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious, some bold. On the author’s land, there are three oak trees growing close together. One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can’t be the explanation. So what’s happening? Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.

Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes. A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees don’t have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.

But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil. But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible? Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years!

Why do trees do such a thing？It’s simple: it’s better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.

【1】Why does the author mention the three oak trees?

A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.

B.To show trees can make independent decisions.

C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.

D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.

【2】According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees?

A.Anxious and bold.

B.Smart and adventurous.

C.Helpful and wellbehaved.

D.Adaptable and supportive.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?

A.Give warnings.B.Offer assistance.

C.Depend on others.D.Provide nutrients.

【4】Where does this text most probably come from?

A.A public lecture.B.A science book.

C.An experiment report.D.A travel journal.

It was raining hardly outside, which made it difficult for me to go home for lunch. Just as I was wondering what I should eat at noon, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom. I rushed out and found it was my mother, already in fifties, which brought me lunch in spite of the heavy rain. In China, many parents make great sacrifices for our children. But what had the children done in return? All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parent should serve for them unconditionally. My dear mum or dad, thank you very much for bringing me up. How shall I do for you?

Dear Sir or Madam,

Sincerely yours,

Wang Lei

Recently, I’ve noticed this whole system stresses out my 11-year-old daughter, Audrey. “It seems that if my grades do decrease, I’m worried on what my parents are going to say,’’ Audrey said. Hearing her say this breaks my heart. I wonder: Do other parents and kids feel this way? I put a call out to my network and found Carrie Du Bois.

“I thought it was a mistake,’’ says Du Bois.

About three years ago, Du Bois called the leader of the Sequoia Union High School District in San Mateo County to find out why she was receiving a daily email of her son’s grades. The leader told her the portal was working as it should.

Du Bois called every mental health professional she knew and they all told her the same thing: The supply of constant data on academic progress can overemphasize the importance of grades. Her district has since changed systems and no longer sends out daily grade updates. However, hundreds of other schools in the Bay Area still do.

A spokeswoman for the Santa Clara Unified School District said the feedback they’ve received from parents is overwhelmingly positive. Other parents have also told me the portals give them insights into their kids’ lives and open up conversations beyond “how was your day.”

Most of the portals offer parents the option of turning off daily notifications. Mental health care professionals advise that a healthier and more accurate measure of progress is checking grades once a week or even once a month. It’s what I have decided to do.

【1】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Education System Has Gone Wrong

B.Parents Are Worrying about Their Kids

C.A Good Way to Motivate the Kids to Work Hard

D.Open Grade Books Are Stressing Kids Out

【2】What do we know about the “open grade books”?

A.They allow parents to get their kids’ daily grades reports.

B.Neither parents nor kids like them because they create anxiety.

C.Most kids make progress in school due to them.

D.All parents have to receive daily grade updates online.

【3】Why does Du Bois’ district no longer use the system of sending out daily grades?

A.Because Du Bois doesn’t like it.

B.Because of Du Bois’ effort against it.

C.Because Du Bois knew many mental health care professionals.

D.Because the supply of constant data on academic progress hurt kids.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Most parents will turn off daily notifications.

B.No parents agree with the mental health care professionals.

C.The author will pay less attention to Audrey’s daily grades.

D.The author doesn’t care about her daughter’s accomplishments.
