Head teacher, teachers, grandparents, parents and classmates, I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today. I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people, so please forgive me if it shows!
As we all know, this is the school leavers’ party, and it’s time to say goodbye to everyone. We’re sorry to leave you at the end of our junior high school education, and we promise that we'll never forget the happy times we have spent in these buildings with you all.
I’d like to thank three groups of people for the three things I’ve learnt while I’ve been a pupil at our school. The three things are friendship, love and knowledge.
The first group is my friends, and what I’ve learnt is the importance of friendship. We’ve worked hard together, we’ve even shared some difficult times together, but we’ve also had a lot of fun. Many of us will go to new schools and we may not see each other so often in the future. Others will go on to senior high school and continue their close friendships. But friends don’t have to see each other all the time. Sometimes the friends you treasure most are the friends you see less often. A life without old friends is like a day without sunshine. We'll always stay in touch.
The second group is our parents and grandparents. We thank you for the love you have shown us during our years at junior high school, for making a home where we feel both safe and relaxed, and where we can prepare ourselves for our school days. We also thank you for your help with our homework. How many of us owe our good grades to the suggestions you have made during those long evenings?
And finally, the third group is our teachers. We can never pay you back for your kindness, your patience, and gift of knowledge which you have offered us; sometimes you’ve made us work very hard. But you have always been fair and you’ll always be our role models. There’s a saying from Ireland which is a favourite of mine: Strangers are only friends you haven’t met yet.
I couldn’t say it better myself. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all and wish you success for the future.
小題1:Who was the speech made by?
A．A teacherB．A studentC．A parentD．A manager
小題2:What’s the purpose of the speech?
A．To thank people.B．To look forward to the future.
C．To say sorry.D．To worry about the tests.

We all, at one time or another , were like a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favourite song. Most of us have done this in our own room when we were kids or even when we grew up. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along, and soon my arms are in the air. I am moving along to the music. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes in my car. Someone may look at me strangely or even laugh at me when I stopped at a traffic light. Personally I love to get lost in the music. That can lead me to share with you the importance of being silly!
The meaning of the word silly, according to the dictionary is : stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they are always serious in their life, but in fact that is really stupid.
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal(樸素的), how rich, and so on … No one is perfect! So why pretend(假裝) to be something you are not?  
Life is so short…_________, so why waste a single second on being so “perfect”?
When we were kids, we had no idea of fear and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that kind of feeling.
So don’t be afraid to be silly. The next time you feel down, go and turn on your favourite song , sing and dance along just like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good.
小題1:While driving to work, the writer often _______.
A．sings and moves along to the music
B．laughs at others at the traffic lights
C．pretends to be serious
D．watches his favourite movies
小題2:What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph Two?
A．He likes wearing his work clothes.
B．Being silly can make him relaxed.
C．He likes listening to music.
D．Laughing at others is impolite.
小題3:Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph Five?
A．Students these days often have a lot of worries.
B．Everyone will face some difficulties in their life.
C．You never know when this beautiful journey will be over.
D．No one knows when they will die.
小題4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．How to be a perfect manB．The importance of being silly
C．Life is so shortD．How to be a rock star

Tips for avoiding traffic jams:
The radio has more than just music. Check the local news station for the latest traffic report. Or go online and check traffic cameras before you set out. If there is a jam, you'll be prepared and can try another route.
Take the road less traveled. Although highways may be the most direct route, back (偏僻的) roads can be much less crowded, which can save you from the frustration of the stop-and-go traffic.
Rush hour isn't just a lovely nickname. It means the morning and afternoon traffic lasts for several hours, but they're still called "rush hour" for a reason - everyone's on the road and in a hurry to get somewhere. Treat rush hour like bad weather - if you don't have to go anywhere, stay off the roads.
Tips for those unavoidable traffic jams:
Don't break the law. You've gone 30 feet in 30 minutes and all of a sudden you see people using the shoulders（緊急停車道）． Don't behave like them. Not only is this illegal, but also there's a good  chance they'll get caught or cause even more problems.
Pay extra attention to zig-zaggers (Z字形行進者). When some people are anxious, they may start changing lanes（車道）every 5 seconds or cut you off, Keep checking your windows and mirrors. for these lane changers.
Look for an escape. If it is possible to exit the road safely, do it. Use a GPS unit, and you can change your route mid-trip if needed.
Be courteous. Good manners could help you avoid a possible accident. Allow people in from a lane that is ending. Speeding up to keep them out increases your chances of an accident.
小題1:To avoid traffic jams,we are advised to do the following EXCEPT_______.
A．get traffic news before leaving
B．choose back roads.
C．a(chǎn)void rush hours.
D．change lanes frequently.
小題2:What should we do when there are zig-zaggers?
A．Keep checking the mirrors
B．Stop and let them go first
C．Sound the hom loudly.
D．Drive quickly to keep them out
小題3:What does the underlined word “courteous”in the last paragraph mean?
A．EnergeticB．PoliteC．CarefulD．Honest
小題4:In which part of a magazine can this passage be found?
A．EntertainmentB．MarketC．LifeD．Advertisement

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people        how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a         to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are         drivers. One has a destination（目的地）in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns.

She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,         she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas (汽油). Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making          and setting goals.       people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must       what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more        to achieve it. Written goals can be         regularly, and have more power. Like a contract（契約） with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also        you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

Many years ago, I had my first chance to visit Russia. "Russians are a very polite people," I had been told before my arrival. One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.
Toward the end of my three-week trip, I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined(婉謝) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied with the meal. But my mind was racing: "What should I do? Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?"
"Would you like a banana?" I asked Yulya.
"Yes," she smiled, but didn't try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.
"Which one would you like?" I asked again.
"That one," she pointed at one of the bananas. So thinking about Russian politeness, f picked the banana Yulya had pointed at. Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.Smiles on Yulya's and Nicolai's faces told me I had done the right thing. Alter this experience, I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.
However, sometime during my third trip i learned I was wrong.
"Oh no, David," a Russian politely corrected me.  "In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady, it means he has a romantic interest in her." How embarrassed (尷尬) I felt.
