Most people remember their teachers as some kind of despotic（专制的）person although it isn't always the truth. Most of them are quite nice and are always there to give us a hand when we need one. Not so long ago, you might think the teacher was The Teacher and was almighty（万能的）and the students were there to learn and nothing else. Now there is some kind of interactivity（相互活动）between the students and the teacher. To my mind, teachers are here to teach us their knowledge and to listen to what we have to say. Indeed, students aren't afraid to tell them what they think any more. However, this doesn’t mean that they don't control their troops. It is just because times and methods have changed. Our teachers are now closer to their students and have created some kind of soft climate that allows us to be in class without a feeling of obligation（责任）or what so ever. Nevertheless, we can but notice that the "power" is still in the teachers' hands. If something goes wrong it is up to him or her to react properly and to carry out punishment if it is necessary.

       A White – bearded ancient man was walking over the hills and valleys of the world．On his back he carried a bag which moved uneasily as if something was trying to escape from it, but he   21   it between his shoulders and walked on．

       He was Father Time, traveling forever, and the bag he   22   was filled with Tomorrows, all struggling to get out．

       Each   23   at twelve o’clock, he opened the bag and   24   a Tomorrow, just one, with its wings of   25   , and its shining feathers rose with hope．All the rest were kept   26   by Time’s strong hands and pushed   27   in the bag．

       Down flew the Tomorrow   28   its lovely feathers, but as it touched the   29   , off fell its blue wings and it changed to a（n）   30   white bird which could not fly．It had become a Today．Everyone knows that Today isn’t as   31   as Tomorrow, for Today can be held in one’s   32   , accepted, unloved, but Tomorrow is full of mystery（神秘）and beauty．It is   33   by all the world．Even those with   34   hope sigh, “Tomorrow may bring a（n）   35  ．Tomorrow’s life will be different．”

       Everybody tried to   36  the Tomorrow before it fell to the ground．They thought if they   37   beforehand what the Tomorrow carries, they could   38   for it．So they put great nets on the trees, seeking to catch one   39   it changed his feather．Yet although they tried every means, the birds   40   and flew to the ground as Todays．

New York City schoolchildren can’t use cellphones at school because of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s ban on cellphones in schools. Many parents are opposed to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s ban on cellphones in schools by e-mail messages.
There was a 13-year-old student who was shot with a gun after school, unable to call his mother for help. There was a high school student robbed three times last year, twice in her school building. There was a girl who got a piece of glass placed in her eye during school and was saved from a possible cornea transplant (角膜移植) only because, having disobeyed the cellphone ban, she was able to call her mother and get an operation on time.
The ban has been on for years, but it set off a widespread parental outcry only in April, after some headmasters sent home letters reminding parents that cellphones are not allowed to be brought into school.
Mr Bloomberg has defended the ban, saying that cellphones are bad and often used to cheat or call in friends for fights. If something is important, he says, parents can call schools directly.
On the other hand, many of the e-mail messages from parents described the ban as “cruel and heartless”, “absurdly(荒谬地) wrong-headed”, “anti-parent”, “ridiculous”.
“We respect the fears that parents have,” David Cantor, a spokesman for Schools Minister Joel I. Klein said, “but after all the fact is that having phones in schools always leads to more problems.”
【小题1】A 13-year-old student was shot with a gun after school, unable to call his mother for help, because ____.

Test-taking tips
Do you sweat, check your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out the test paper? A lot of people feel anxious when it is time to take a test. Here are some tips for taking tests:
  1 .Your memory recall will be much better if you have had enough rest. In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
Read the test through first. Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete.  2 .If something seems unclear before you start, do not panic: ask the teacher.
Focus on addressing each question individually.  3 . Instead, answer the best way you can or skip over the question and come back to it after you have answered other questions.
Relax.  4 .Of course you can not get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle (扭动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths. As we all know, It can be easy to forget things we know well. During a test, if you forget something and start to get tense, it suddenly becomes much more difficult to remember.
Finished already? Although most teachers will let you hand your test paper in early, it is usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work.  5 .On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and you are still writing, wind up whatever you are working on without panic.
