"So, what do you want to do after graduation?"___ 1._____However, you have to make up your mind as your last high school year begins. Whether your plans include college, heading straight for the workforce, or taking a year off, here are some practical tips to prepare yourself for the journey.

Going to College

Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be and how they plan to get there. _____2.___ According to a recent survey, 75% of students change their majors after they enter college.

B. Many juniors and seniors get bored answering that question over and over.

D

Do you love the holidays，but hate the pounds that follow? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight.With proper planning，though，it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays.Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner，regard eating as a time for tasting a variety of the foods.The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.

Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining physical fitness：

Don't skip meals.Before you leave home，have a small，low-fat meal or snack.This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.

Control portions.Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “l(fā)oad up.” You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have your “tasting” serving，move away from the buffet(自助餐). Doing so will make it less tempting to be eating constantly as your appetite is inspired by the sight of food.

Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.

Stick to physical activity. Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories.

Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of dessert or butter.

1.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．You had better turn your attention away from delicious foods.

B．Drinking some water or soup before eating helps you eat less.

3.Many people can't control their weight after the holidays mainly because they _______.

A．can't help being tempted to eat constantly

B．take part in too many parties

C．enjoy delicious foods

D．can't help turning away from the foods

4.If the passage appears in the newspaper，you think it should belong to ______ Column.

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house.

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he did not realize an alligator（短吻鱷）was swimming towards the shore. His mother in the house, looking out of the window, saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In fear, she ran towards the water, yelling to the son as loudly as she could.

It was too late. The alligator reached him.

From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs. That began an incredible tug of war（拔河）between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother would not let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, ran from his truck, and shot the alligator.

Amazingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His leg were extremely scarred by the animal’s attack, and on his arms were scratches (抓痕) from mothers’ fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs . And then, he proudly said to the reporter: “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom would not let go.”

You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from alligator, or anything quite so dramatic . But the scars of a painful past. Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret.

But some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In your struggle, maybe someone has been there holding on to you.

1.Upon seeing the alligator getting close to her boy, the mother ________ .

A. dived into the cool water at once

B. was too afraid to move

C. shouted a warning to her boy

D. got ready to fight the crocodile

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. There were scars on the boy’s arms and legs.

B. The mother won the “match” because of her strength.

C. A farmer scared the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes.

D. A crocodile attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming.

3.By saying, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too,” the boy really wanted to show ___________.

A. how deep the scars were

B. what a brave boy he was

C. how recently he had survived an attack

D. how great his mother was

4.According to the author, how are we all similar to the boy in the story?

A. We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones.

B. We may be faced with danger in our lives.

C. We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers.

D. We may have scars that come from pain and love.

Learning English can be a difficult task. While many people learn English in the classroom, the vast majority of English learning takes place outside of it.

1. , it is important to know how it is used in everyday life. One of the best things you can do is to read. First ask yourself what you enjoy reading in your native language. If the subject matter is interesting to you, you will be more likely to keep going. Read a variety of different media in English, from magazines to novels. 2. . New York Times takes a more formal approach to the English language than somebody's personal blog.

Consider your English level when selecting reading material. 3. , but do not frustrate yourself needlessly by selecting a complex text . You can choose to be a side-by-side reader, with the English text on one page and its translation on the other page, if you have only been studying English for a couple of years.

4. . So do not look up every word you don't know as you read. It will only slow things down and make the reading process much less fun. Instead, rely on what you have already known. When you come across a difficult word or phrase，use context clues to guess at its meaning. Write down or underline any words or phrases you cannot figure out. When you have finished reading, go to your list of new words. Now you can get your dictionary and look them up one by one. 5. . You will be more likely to keep reading the interesting subject.

A. Challenge yourself

B. To better understand a language

C. When you want to learn English, try New York Times

D. Turn them into flash cards, keep them in mind and use them

F. Your reading goal is to briefly understand what the piece is saying

G. The content and writing styles vary with the group of readers

In this information age, there are plenty of mindless activities to keep a child busy. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Alice wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.

As a writer, I know about winning contests---and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.

A revelation(啟示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自發(fā)地)told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting my daughter’s experience.

While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

1. What do we know about the author’s own writing experience?

A. She was constantly under pressure to write more.

B. Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.

C. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.

D. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.

2. Why did Alice want to enter this year’s writing contest?

A. She wanted to share her stories with readers.

B. She had won a prize in the previous contest.

C. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

D. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.

3.The underlined sentence probably means that the author was .

A. trying not to let her daughter enjoy her own life

B. helping her daughter develop real skills for writing

C. making sure that her daughter would win the contest

D. trying to get her daughter to do the thing as the author wished

4. What does the writer mean to tell us in the last two paragraphs?

A. Children need more room to develop.

B. Parents should co-opt children’s experience.

C. Children should be provided enough help.

D. Parents need to remind their children of their own choices.

Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow.

4.Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.
