閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Dear editor,

I have been getting along well with my father. However, as I’m in Senior Three now, the question whether I should live at school or come back home for the nights has come to our family discussion. My father and I have different opinions over the matter and we are arguing over it these days.

My father insists that I should live at school. In the previous two years, I have been spending about 80 minutes every day to and from school. Living at school can help save a lot of time. In this way, I can have more time for my studies.

On the other hand, what I believe is that I should spend my nights at home. First of all, if I come home for the nights, I will have more freedom to arrange my studies. Meanwhile, I will have more time to communicate with my parents, which will make us understand each other better.

I don’t want to make compromises and neither does my father, as it seems. Could you tell me what I should do? I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.

Your sincere reader,

Teddy

One mile long runway can take people across the oceans, to reach every corner of the world.

That’s the magic power of airplanes as well as airports. Similar as most airports are, some do have their unique features.

Lukla Airport

Lukla Airport, is a small airport in the town of in the town of Lukla, eastern Nepal. A program titled Most Extreme Airports, rated the airport as the most dangerous airport in the world. The airport is popular because Lukla is the place where most people start the climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. High wind, cloud cover, and changing visibility often mean flights can be delayed or the airport closed. The airport’s runway is accessible only to helicopters and small, fixed-wing, short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft. The runway is only 527m with an elevation of 2,845m.

Princess Juliana International Airport

Princess Juliana International Airport is in the country of Saint Maarten. The airport is perhaps best known for very low-altitude flyover landing approaches due to one end of its runway being extremely close to the shore and Maho Beach. The thrilling approaches and ease of access for shooting spectacular images make the airport one of the world’s favorite places among plane spotters.

Gibraltar Airport

Gibraltar Airport serves the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, a tiny peninsula with an area of only 6.8 square kilometers. The lack of flat space there means the peninsula’s only runway is bisected by its busiest road, the Winston Churchill Avenue that heads towards the land border with Spain. It is really scary that there is a four lane highway passing through the middle of the runway!

Kai Tak Airport

Kai Tak Airport was officially known as Hong Kong International Airport from 1954 to 6 July 1998, when it was closed and replaced by the new one at Chek Lap Kok, 30 kms to the west. With numerous skyscrapers and mountains located to the north and its only runway jutting out into Victoria Harbour, landing at the airport were dramatic to experience and technically demanding for pilots. The low altitude manoeuvre required to line up with the runway was so spectacular that some passengers claimed to have glimpsed the television through apartment windows along the final approach.

1.Which of the following pictures can be a scene of Princess Juliana International Airport

2.All of the following can be inferred from this passage Except ________.

A. The transportation of Winston Churchill Avenue might be affected by planes.

B. Lukla airport is the most dangerous airport because of extremely harsh weather

C. An inexperienced pilot might have difficulty landing on Kai Tak Airport

D. People on Maho Beach may have a good chance to view the plane flying overhead

3.Which of these airports is out of business now?

A. Lukla Airport

B. Princess Juliana International Airport

C. Gibraltar Airport

D. Kai Tak Airport

“Men get all the breaks!” the veteran (老練的) teacher announced to me. A cold greeting. Her stare stabbed like an icicle (冰柱).

“Hello,” I countered, extending my hand. “I guess we’ll be teaching together this year.”

“I swear, all you have to do is wear pants and walk into an elementary school and they hire you! It makes me sick!” I would have responded, but she turned her back to me and stomped off down the hall.

Who would have imagined that the biggest challenge I would face during my first year on the job would not be students, but fellow teachers?

“You can’t put that there!” Another teacher burst into my classroom. “You can’t put the teacher’s desk at the back of the room!”

“Pardon?”

“If you put your desk way back there, you won’t be able to see them cheating!”

Next I was told I must not arrange student desks into abutting clusters because “the students might talk too much.”

At home my wife kept assuring me, “You’re there for the kids. When you meet your students, things will be different.” And she was right. One day the bell rang and there were thirty-five wonderful sixth graders sitting at their desks (still arranged in clusters) and it was different. I was happy.

“Welcome to sixth grade.” I began the year as I’d rehearsed for months. “You’ll notice,” I continued, “my desk is at the back of the room.” They chuckled. “I don’t want that desk between us. I want to be involved in your learning and involved in your lives.”

In the days that followed, I ate with my students at lunch (“Wilcox shouldn’t do that!”); I played with my students at recess (“That’s unheard of!”); I read with my students in the library (“He’s wasting time!”); I even stayed after school with some boys who got in trouble with the principal (“He’s undermining the school’s entire discipline program!”).

I went home to my wife. “Don’t worry,” she said. “They’re just threatened by you because you’re new and you’re good. Let the other teachers know you’re not a threat. Just keep being nice to them.”

Obediently, I pulled out the Golden Rule, dusted it off, and vowed to start again. As I did with the children, I started looking for specific, positive things I could build upon and reinforce sincerely in my colleagues: “Nice job on the announcements this morning!” “Wow! I like that worksheet you made up.” “Man, your kids walked down the hall so quietly.” “I heard your class singing great songs. You do a super job with music!”

“I like your bulletin board,” I said to Mrs. Icicle Eyes.

“Really?” she asked. “It’s just the same old thing I put up every year.” She reached out and straightened a sagging border. Then, not unlike one of my students, she added, “Do you really like it?”

“Yes,” I answered firmly. As sure as sun beams, the Golden Rule was shining, and things were finally warming up.

That very afternoon, a few parents went to the principal’s office asking if their sixth graders could be moved into my class. Of course the students were not transferred, but when the grapevine circulated the request, up went the old barbed wire fence. Complete with machine guns.

I continued to do the best job I could. I worked. I taught. I cared. I waited for a breakthrough moment.

Months passed. It was lunch recess. I asked a boy walking down the hall. “Have you seen Mrs. So-and-So?” I was, in fact, searching for Mrs. Icicle Eyes. I needed to consult with her.

Grinning, he came toward me as if sharing a secret. “She’s outside shooting baskets with the girls!”

“She’s playing basketball with the girls?” I asked incredulously.

“Yeah,” he nodded. I smiled. I didn’t say another word. But my smile inside was even bigger than the one on my face.

A. He should encourage the students as much as possible.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 1. Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.

1．Greetings

Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. 2.Getting to the point

There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 3. However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you?”

3．Interrupting without offence

Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 4. Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．

4．Closing the call

This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. 5. Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.

A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.

B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.

C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning.

D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.

E．So it may be difficult to get a word in.

F．Practice English through phone calls.

G．Never fear, though!
