閱讀下面一篇短文，按照要求回答短文后面的問題：

　　Let's travel together to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea. Here we will see one of the most famous places in the world. Here two continents almost meet. The lands of Africa and Europe are on both sides of the sea. There is only a small waterway for ships to come in and go out. It is the entrance to the great Atlantic Ocean.

　　On the northern shore, a big rock comes straight up from the ground. It is called the Rock of Gibraltar. It has been standing there for a very, very long time. Armies have fought battles to take it. Storms at sea have never washed it away. The Rock of Gibraltar has not changed. But its name has changed.

　　The Greeks took the rock a long time ago. They called it Calpe. By ． D． 711 Spain had the rock for herself. Spain used it to guard the entrance to her country.

　　Next came the Arabs with an army of 12, 000 soldiers. Their leader was Tarik Ibn Zaid. He took his army across North Africa to the rock. There his soldiers fought for three days and nights. At last they won the battle and took Calpe for themselves.

　　Tarik and his men were very happy. Tarik ordered a castle to be built at the top of the rock. It was completed in the year 742. From there he could see the beautiful land and water below. His soldiers guarded the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.

　　The rock was almost as high as a mountain. So the Arab soldiers decided to honor their brave leader. Now the Arabic word for mountain is Jabal. So the place was called Jabal Tarik.

　　In Arabic it is still called by this name; but it has been changed in many other languages. The English name is now Gibraltar. If you say both the Arabic and English words you will hear some of the same sounds.

　　Many nations and armies have taken Gibraltar since Tarik. But its name to－day still honors that great Arab leader, Tarik Ibn Zaid.

閱讀下面一則新聞，然后按要求寫一篇１５０詞左右的英語短文。
The headmaster of a middle school in southern England, David Hayes, has suspended（停課）students at his school 478 times over the past year—one in twenty of all the student suspensions in England.
Although some people believe that his actions go too far, he seems to be getting results. The number of students receiving “A” grades in the national senior school exam has increased from 48% in 2004 to 74% this year.
Mr Hayes says that many schools could achieves similar improvements if they improve their school students’ behavior. He also says the British government is wrong for pressuring schools not to suspend troublesome students and points out the harmful effects such students have on the quality of teaching and student learning. Suspensions often get many naughty students to improve their behavior, he says.
The school was below average in 2003. Mr Hayes joined the following year and now suspends two of the school’s 1880 students on average each school day. The total of 478 suspensions over the year means that almost one in four students have been punished this way. This year the school’s academic performance was judged as excellent.
