     I am truly saddened about what is going on in my school district, especially in the school where I am
currently working.
    Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban
and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to
discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are
doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I
have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did
poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be
given a second chance.
    And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a
huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in
school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how
to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the
parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not
doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect
recipe for greater achievement gaps.
     I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years.
What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make that  horse drink. You can't
force kids to change bad habits over  night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can  pass
a class.

1. The seventh grade team leader in the author's school called    a meeting to ________.
A. analyse the reason for the huge achievement gap between students
B. find out who is to blame for the huge achievement gap between students
C. talk about giving students who are doing poorly a second  chance to redo the work
D. discuss how to narrow the huge achievement gap between students

2. The author believes that a student can be given a second chance ________.
A. if he did poorly the first time
B. for whatever reason he did poorly the first time
C. if he failed the first time in spite of his efforts
D. if he comes from a suburban area

3. In the last paragraph, the author intends to tell us that ________.
A. a student can make improvement only when he is willing to
B. teachers are to blame if his students are doing poorly
C. the school should force those students to work harder if   they're doing poorly
D. the school should treat different students with different standards

Everybody cheats. Whether it’s the taxi driver who tricks a visitor and takes them the long way round, or the shop assistant who doesn’t give the correct change, or the police officer who accepts a bribe (贿赂) – everybody’s at it. Cheats in the nest include the scientist whose research was based on fake data, the game show competitors who worked with a friend in the audience or win a million pounds, and the doctor who made up his qualifications and wasn’t really a doctor at all. Everybody cheats; nobody’s playing the game.

    Is cheating acceptable, a natural way of surviving and being successful? Or is it something that should be frowned on, and young people discouraged from doing? If it’s the latter how can we explain to children why so many bend the rules?

Take sport for example. The Word Cup was filled with cheating. Whether diving, pretending to be hurt or denying a handball, footballers will do anything for a free – kick or a penalty shot. France striker Henry denied cheating to win the free – kick which led to his side’s second goal in their 3 – 1 victory over Spain. Many footballers, however, are often putting it on. Whatever the nationality there’s one common ploy: the player rolls over holding their leg, ankle or head seeming to be in great pain. As a result a yellow card and / or free – kick is given for the foul and then, a few seconds later, the player is up and about as if nothing had happened ! The ref (裁判) may be taken in by it but youngsters watching the game aren’t. they also see their heroes getting away with it.

Of course it’s not just football. In 1998 the Tour de France, the world’s greatest cycling event, was hit by a drug – taking scandal (丑闻). The 40 bottles of forbidden drugs found with the Fustian team caused a massive investigation that almost caused the Tour to be abandoned. One rider, Veronique, was banned for 9 months. He claimed: “You have cheats in sport, just as you do in business – there will always be people trying to take a short cut. At least we’re not turning a blind eye to the problem, which other sports are.”

Is it all unavoidable? There’s huge pressure on all athletes to perform for their fans and for their sponsors. It’s success, money and power that rule professional sport rather than an honest at tempt to do the best one can.

Meanwhile companies around the world are losing billions of dollars to fake products. From cut price CDs and DVDs to sportswear, cheap fake products are everywhere. It has become socially acceptable to buy fake Gucci bags and illegal copies of films. If parents are doing this, their children will follow.

So perhaps it’s not surprising that around the world more pupils than ever are caught cheating during exams. In one case missing exam papers were put up for sale on the Internet. In another, widespread cheating took place by pupils using their mobile phones to receive tested answers. They blame the pressure put on them to do well in exams. It doesn’t help that their role models are also cheats. Surely we can’t complain when we’re setting such a bad example.

1.According to the passage, in which way can a game show player cheat?

A.By taking an indirect way.    B.By gaining aid from a friend.

C.By taking forbidden drugs.  D.By selling fake products.

2.The phrase “be frowned on”(Paragraph 2) most probably means           .

A.to be disapproved of            B.to be pushed forward

C.to be taken the place of       D.to be stuck with

3.The writer’s suppose for writing this passage is to         .

A.explain why people in almost every field cheat

B.complain about cheats in school education

C.persuade young people not to cheat in exams

D.blame the society for tolerating cheats

4.The writer mentions the example of the World Cup in Paragraph 3 in order to           .

A.show cheating is a common phenomenon nowadays

B.discuss the relationship between sport and cheating

C.explore the nature of cheating in important events

D.warn coaches and athletes of the danger of cheating

5.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

A.Exams are not a good way of testing children.

B.Children are natural cheats.

C.If adults cheat, children will cheat too.

D.Everyone including children cheats.

阅读下面短文并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求 )

[1] You can never get to peace and security without first knowing all of the good things in your life. So you need to learn how to appreciate your life and here are some simple steps you can take to achieve this goal.

Work hard to have an attitude of gratitude.

[2] As you learn to appreciate the small things in your life, you’ll find a sense of happiness. You’ll also find it easier to appreciate the big things in your life, which will help you appreciate your life as a whole.

[3] To begin with, find five things to be grateful for each day. Call this your “Gratitude List,” and write it down before bedtime. At first,      to find even just five things to be grateful for. That’s okay. You won’t learn how to appreciate your life over night, just like you didn’t become dissatisfied over night either. List small things, and go from there. The longer you keep a “Gratitude List,” the easier it will be to find things to put on it. Soon you’ll be able to list more things than you thought!

Learn to appreciate others.

[4] Take note when someone does something nice for you. If anyone does a job that’s normally yours, stop and thank them sincerely. Value the moment, and look for other opportunities to find the good in others. This will help you appreciate the people around you, who are also part of your life.

Appreciate yourself.

[5] This can be extremely hard, especially with all the criticism we hear from others. Appreciation also includes respect and you can’t appreciate or truly enjoy your life if you don’t respect yourself . So, think of one small thing you can appreciate about yourself every day, and take the time to really enjoy it. Be thankful for it, and know you’re learning how to really appreciate your life.

[6] It takes 30 fays of doing something before it becomes a habit. But after this, keeping a “Gratitude List,” appreciating others, and admiring yourself will become second nature to you. In no time, you’ll realize you know how to appreciate your life.

1.What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 10 words)

                                                                           

2.Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2.(no more than 5 words)
