By printing completely different stories which TV doesn’t broadcast.

I studied engineering after enjoying top marks, as high school came relatively easy. Then university life came!
I thought that I must have some learning disorder, as it seemed that everyone else was absorbing the material and making progress while to me it was an insurmountable(不能克服的) struggle. There were never enough hours in the day and weekend to attend the lectures, study the lessons and then do the assignment.
During my darkest hour I called home to speak to my father: “Dad, I don’t think I can handle this.” My father then said something, which cut through me like a knife: “There is no returning home. If you quit, then you are on your own.”
I hung up thinking what a terrible heartless thing to say. Then, I determined to somehow gut it out(堅持到底). There seemed to be no other choices available! Soon afterwards, I noticed a sigh posted in a campus common area stating: “Studying Skills” with a place & time to meet. It said that “there is help available”. I attended that meeting! I soon discovered there were several others in a similar situation and that everyone wanted to help each other get through this challenging first term. I soon found a study partner, who helped me a lot, and I was grateful to him for his kind help.
Yes, it was still a very challenging first year, but I found the needed strength and support to get through it. In fact my father has been helping me since then, but he has done it in another way. I know now in my heart that he did the very best help he could to help me fly. Thanks Dad for the push!

3D cinema has been around since the early 20th century, but Hollywood brought the technology back In 2007. Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first must-see movie in 3D.
But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In 2010, several 3D movies bombed at the box office. And by late 2010, Some people said the technology was dead. Of course, this isn’t the first time Hollywood has struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and color became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we’re going through the same process with 3D.
Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D. Also, a recent study at California State University found audiences don’t actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D. Walter Murch , a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.
But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D. And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2012 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Cameron’s Titanic 3D made even more.
Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, ‘Tm hoping 3D gets to a point where people dorft notice it. Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”
1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies______
A．were not successful B．became popular
C．developed quickly D．were of poor quality
2.The example of sound and color is used mainly to show that______.
A．Hollywood tends to absorb what is new
B．3D technology takes time to be accepted
C．Hollywood struggles with new technology
D．high technology helps to make better movies
3.In Walter Murch7S opinion, 3D movies______.
A．bring moviemakers great profits
B．a(chǎn)re more expensive than 2D movies
C．do great harm to people’s health
D．a(chǎn)re unsuitable for people to watch
4.What can we learn from the text?
A．Avatar was the first 3D movie.
B．3D cinema has existed for years.
C．Titanic 3D has made the most money.
D．2012 witnessed the coming of 3D’s time.

(2)讀寫任務(wù)：（共25分）
閱讀下面的短文，然后按要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged. I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I wrote out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to quit. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done”, he said, “you’re looking after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day. I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunshine to the human spirit; no flower can grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism; we are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why when one word of praise can bring such benefit?
In fact, to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort but will reward both the giver and the recipient with a happy day. Let’s learn to give credit (贊揚) to people around us.
[寫作內(nèi)容]
以約30個詞概括短文的要點
以120個詞就“The Power of Praise”這個主題發(fā)表你的看法；并包括如下要點：
1) 在你周圍，人們對贊美的看法和做法；
2) 你的觀點如何？你怎么做？舉例說明贊美的力量。
[寫作要求]
可以使用自己的經(jīng)歷或聽到的故事，可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容，但不得直接引用原文的句子；
標(biāo)題已經(jīng)給出
[評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)]
概括準(zhǔn)確、語言規(guī)范、內(nèi)容合適。篇章連貫
