School Counseling（咨詢）

In our grandparents' time, it was unthinkable．In our parents' time, it was unusual and nobody spoke openly about counseling．These days, more and more schools are asking for this service and it is considered a necessity for most．Why is it? What has changed in the last fifty years to have made counseling at schools so important?

“One reason is that we expect schools to do more to protect their pupils than we did in the past," says school counselor, Mike Hudson．“ Also, our society doesn't work as well as it should．Many parents are either under pressure of work or face the economic problems of unemployment, while children are under more and more pressure to do well at school．Many pupils feel they are pushed to their limits by their parents and teachers．"

Most school children face some kind of relationship problem at some stage with family members, teachers or other pupils, so．it helps to have somebody to talk to．

From the pupil' s point of view, it is easier to talk to a counselor in confidence rather than a family member or teacher．This solution is less embarrassing to pupils, who are not forced to face the person that they had problems with in the first place．They can calmly talk things through without arguments．

School counselors advise not only students but also their teachers and parents, and offer other services as well, such as deciding learning disabilities or assisting parents and guardians to make the correct decisions about their children' s education．

Counselors can help students with problems ranging from the most serious, like a death in the family, to what an adult would consider really trivial, like an argument with a friend．

In a society that is becoming more and more stressful, this service is providing children with a supportive way to express their fear and worries．

1.Why is school counseling becoming important?

A．Pupils are not well protected in school．

B．Parents can't help their children in learning．

C．Parents and pupils are under too much pressure．

D．The relationship between parents and schools is worse．

A．The development of school counseling．

WHEN people speak about the Chinese women’s volleyball team, most of the time they don’t just refer to a sporting group.____ 1.________.

The team won its fourth World Cup victory by defeating host team Japan 3-1 on Sept 6. This has been its first world title in the 11 years since it won at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004.

What has the team gone through, and what has made it rise again?

Once a world superpower in women’s volleyball, China was almost unbeatable (不可戰(zhàn)勝的) between 1981 and 1986. ___2._______.

But the retirement (退役) of the players who won in Athens led to a period of difficulty. The newcomers didn’t perform well enough and coaches changed too often.

______3._____. She had led the Chinese to the 1981 and 1985 World Cup titles as a player. As head coach, she “brought in fresh air, using more young players boldly (大膽地)”, according to Xinhua. As a result, young players got more chances to train and play for the national team.

But things never go exactly (恰好) as planned. 4._______. Lang had to find replacements (替補(bǔ)) quickly from her two years of buildup (積累).

There were more things to do. She had to calm down her girls. “It’s still too far to see who will win,” she told them. Assistant coach Lai Yawen knew all about the effort made by 54-year-old Lang, who spent less than four hours sleeping every day during the World Cup. “Lang has to study the videos showing the other countries’ players’ movements and skills every night,” Lai told paper.cn.

Her players fought just as hard as she did. Zhu Ting, 20, asked to return to a game after South Korea took the lead. She had left because of an injury.

She said the injury was “not a big deal”. Only after she had helped the team win that game did she tell reporters: “My ankles (腳踝) were really in pain, but I hid it.”

_5.___________. “Luck finally gave us a chance to win. I believe chance only favors prepared people,” Lang told Xinhua.

Or, as Xinhua said, it was the girls’ “hard work, unity and perseverance (堅(jiān)持)” that won them the World Cup.

A.Chinese team was known by many people at that time.

B. The term has come to mean an amazing team spirit.

C. Though the team has met many injuries, they still overcome(克服) them.

D. After the team finished fifth at the 2012 London Games, Lang Ping took over as head coach the next year.

E. Before going to Japan, some key players were injured.

F. During that time, the team won two world championships, two World Cups, and one Olympics.

G. The 2015 World Cup title didn’t come easy but the team made it.

As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to．Yet re readers are everywhere around us．For certain fans, re reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually．One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times．

New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re reading．Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17．Since then, she has read it again every five years．With each re reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鳴) differently．Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines．These kinds of books grow with us.

Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re reading．Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”．Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express．As researcher CristelRussell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”

It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages)．These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then．We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience – by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.

More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life．A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.

Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re read more often．After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once．We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one time delight．A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.

1.The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________．

A．a(chǎn)ttract the attention of readers

B．introduce the topic of the passage

C．provide some background information

D．show the similarity between re readers

2.The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．recite them

B．read them

C．recall them

D．retell them

3.It can be learned from the passage that __________.

A．reading benefits people both mentally and physically

B．readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading

C．we know ourselves better through reading experience

D．writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do

4.The purpose of the passage is to __________.

A．call on different understandings of old books

B．focus on the mental health benefits of reading

C．bring awareness to the significance of rereading

D．introduce the effective ways of reading old books

Where do the turtles go?

Every summer, thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world. Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away.

Two months later, the eggs hatch(孵化), and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean. They don’t reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates. Until now, no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do.

“if we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them,” says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery.

Her teacher, Karen Bjorndal, has studied green sea turtles for more than 30 years. Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands. Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood.

These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters. In fact, their name may be a result of what they eat. The turtles don’t look green but they do have green fat. Scientists learned that the turtles eat green sea plants, which may turn their fat green.

Between 2002 and 2004, Bjorndal caught 44 green sea turtles in the Bahamas. After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants. In fact, they eat animals that live in the open ocean.

Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow. We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place.

“It is really a problem,” says Bjorndal. The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal.

1.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A. baby turtles go to the ocean when they are two months old.

B. Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them.

C. No one knows when turtles appear on the beach.

D. Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates.

2.Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to _________.

A. help her teacher B. prove an idea

C. protect turtles D. become a scientist

3.What does Karen Bjorndal’s research prove about green sea turtles?

A. the young live in the Bahamas Islands.

B. The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants

C. They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time

D. They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters.

4.What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Finding out where young turtles grow.

B. Protecting this endangered sea animal.

C. Changing young turtles’ eating habits.

D. Living in the open ocean.

A

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky rice.

Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.

1.What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?

A. He became good at most sports.

B. He began to build up his body.

C. He joined a sports team

D. He made friends with a runner.

2.The underlined word “exploits” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ______.

A. journeys B. researches

C. adventures D. operations. W

3.What does the story mainly tell us abut Saunders?

A. He is a success in sports.

B. He is the best British skier.

C. He is Ridgway's best student.

D. He is a good instructor at school.
