Advantages and Disadvantages of Mobile Phones
Nowadays, nearly everyone has a mobile phone. In our daily lives we make phone calls to others, and we need to send messages to exchange information. Now, you can surf the Internet by using your mobile phone. I have to say that I enjoy using my phone, but I am worried at the same time: Is it healthy and safe to use?
Mobile phones have many advantages. Firstly, we keep in touch with people by using them. Because of our busy life, we have little time to meet friends and our beloved ones. Thanks to mobile phones, we can tell them how everything is going. When an emergency happens, we can call for help using our phones. It is convenient and important in our lives.
But every coin has two sides and it is the same with mobile phones. As people are used to making phone calls, they are spending less and less time with their family and friends. Phones give them more excuses to stay out of reach. Because of the convenience, the love and care between people has changed into a few words in a message or a phone call. For students, there are more chances to get distracted(分心的) from their lessons. When I was in middle school, I often looked out of the window to rest my eyes, but now I spend those moments on my phone.
In the end, I hope you can think about the advantages and the disadvantages, and use your mobile phone correctly. We humans created mobile phones, and we should keep them under control.

As the semester(學(xué)期) ended, students had a chance to turn the tables on their teachers.
They got to grade me anonymously(匿名地), assessing the ability of my thinking, my organizational skills and the depth of my knowledge. Such evaluations keep me alert to what works and what doesn’t. Students reflect my performance back to me, and I’m glad to learn what they think of my teaching so that I might try to improve.
This system reflects many aspects of my work. There is, of course, nothing wrong with it. But this system assumes that what students need is the same as what they want. Reading my evaluations every semester has taught me otherwise. Actually many students’ expectations for their courses have already changed, reflecting, in part, the business model many universities are following: classes are considered services, and parents are eager to get their money’s worth from their children’s education. Students feel pressure from their parents to get practical use from their courses.
This could make sense for an engineering course, but in my field, creative writing, which rarely trains up excellent 21-year-old writers, it is more difficult to provide the results that the career-minded students desire. Then I tried some teaching techniques to change the criticism of those unhappy students to the opposite and improve my student evaluations. My record would accurately reflect a smart, attentive, encouraging teacher. However, I would admit that they loved me simply because I agreed writing should be easy.
I know other teachers have done the same thing: teach your heart out to the teachable but be sure to please the unteachable; keep your ratings high, like a politician trying to improve his poll(民意調(diào)查) results. I believe in the struggle. But I still can’t help wincing(退縮) when I read, “The instructor is mean.” “Marcus is not committed to my work.” “This class sucks.” The business model has taught me that customers are always right. And maybe a few more dissatisfied customers would mean a better learning experience.
小題1:What can we know from the underlined phrase “turn the tables on their teachers”？
A．Students get a chance to have dinner with their teachers.
B．Students judge and grade their teachers.
C．Students begin to criticize and punish their teachers.
D．Students take action to praise their teachers.
小題2:Why have the students’ expectations for their courses changed?
A．Because students want to improve other abilities.
B．Because students feel great pressure from universities.
C．Because students have to satisfy their parents.
D．Because the business model has changed.
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Parents don’t care about their money spent on their children’s education.
B．The writer adopted some teaching methods so that he improved his student evaluations.
C．Similar to other teachers, the writer struggled to work as politicians.
D．The students intended to punish their teachers by giving comments.
小題4:What is the author’s attitude towards being graded by his students?
A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Satisfied.D．Scared.

After we finished thirteen miles of hiking, we were tired and our muscles ached as we made our way back to New England. The car ride to the airport followed by a two-hour flight left our legs more worse condition than they were when we first came off the mountain we just climbed.
When we heard that two seats in first class on our next flight were available for a bit higher price, we jumped at the opportunity. Our spirits lifted immediately. After all, flying first class was a new experience for us, and we would end our adventure in comfort and style.
As we boarded the plane, we noticed that the stewardess(空姐) was working non-stop to ensure the comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without receiving an order. How much she must love her job! She smiled kindly at each one while attending to their needs.
As the stewardess walked by our seats near the end of the flight, I looked at her and said, “Thank you and I hope you have a great night.” She stopped, bent down, looked at me and said, “Excuse me.” I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather funny way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she did not know how to answer.
After a few moments she returned to our seats. “I can tell you work with the public,” she said. “Why do you think so?” I asked. She answered very quietly, “Because you are the only passenger here to say something nice to me tonight and I really appreciate your kindness.”
The sense of belonging to the elite(精英) group of people in first class disappeared as we heard her words. Our first class seats offered us more than a comfortable ride. We were reminded that without kindness, we would be flying in no class.
小題1:Where did the writer ever go hiking?
A．In a forestB．In a mountainC．Along a riverD．Near an airport
小題2:Why did they choose to take a first class flight?

Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers when he was employed as a patent  clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.
If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiter tables—and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft（手藝）in the off hours.
While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness  into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.
Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.
小題1:According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_______.”
A．Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for
something else
B．The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at it
C．I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won’t give physics up
D．I must wait until I find my favorite job
小題2:If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.
A．have enough spare time for his hobbies
B．have no time left to make his dream come true
C．do nothing else
D．make a good living
小題3:Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?
A．Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.
B．We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.
C．We shall do practical things rather than dream.
D．We shall dream big dreams and practice as well.
小題4:According to the passage, the author encourages us to ________.
A．start work quickly B．select job carefully and patiently
C．dream oftenD．make up our minds quickly

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（學(xué)會）of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm（熱情） for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（準(zhǔn)時）for meals. In general, the controls imposed（強加的）represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community（社區(qū)）as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.  Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach（說教）, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
小題1:Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _____.
A．should be avoided
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D．will make him lose interest in learning new things
小題2: When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.
A．a(chǎn)chieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
B．not expect too much of them
C．encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
D．create as many learning opportunities as possible
小題3:The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
A．parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
B．parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C．parents should be strict with their children
D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
小題4:The underlined word “precept” （in Paragraph 3） probably means “_____”.
A．ideaB．punishmentC．instructionD．behaviour
小題5:In moral matters, parents should _____.
A．satisfy their children’s needs
B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D．observe（遵守，奉行） the rules themselves

There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family game night
Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.
________________________
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones, twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________.
A．is a computer gameB．is too difficult for children
C．involves acting out wordsD．should be played by more than four people
小題2: What is the best title to be put in the blank of part two? ____________.
A．Family art timeB．Family gardening time
C．Family music timeD．Family cleaning time
小題3:According to the passage, the family picnic____________.
A．should be held in the middle of winter
B．can be held inside your house
C．will be very meaningful if held in offices
D．will cost much money if held on a farm
小題4:Who might be most interested in this passage? _________.

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
  　When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
  　I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有團(tuán)隊精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
  　He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
小題1: Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?
A．He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B．He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C．He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D．He wants to use the words to test a person.
小題2:Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A．To see whether he was confident.
B．To see whether he was good at sports.
C．To see whether he was selfish or not.
D．To see whether he could get along with others.
小題3:During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A．played best all the timeB．was strong enough to play
C．was not confidentD．wanted to be the team leader
小題4: The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A．please （使?jié)M意）B．know aboutC．helpD．look for
