         During my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance
    and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries. When I was
    graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going
    onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote,"Enjoy your four years... they go by
    fast." I remember not believing him then, but looking back... he was right. Those four years shaped who I
    was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.
          However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone
    spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends
    together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did only AFTER
     I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I
    would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn't worry about my SAT (美国大学入学考试) scores.
          When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges, I started to wish
    I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was
    living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought
    college was supposed to be different! Why didn't I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I
    ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus (大学校园) atmosphere instead of
    two.
         My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of
    your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to
    go back to my high school days for a second chance!

    1. Why didn't the author worry about his SAT scores?
    A. He wanted to go to community college.
    B. He had been admitted for his gift in dance.
    C. He was well prepared for the exam
    D. He believed his brother would help him
    2. When in high school, the author _____.
    A. drove to and from class every day
    B. buried himself in his study all the time
    C. enjoyed talking about future college life
    D. lived in the school except on holidays
    3. what did the author's brother mean by "Enjoy your four years... they go by Fast"?
    A. He wished the author to have more dance.
    B. He advised the author to value the years.
    C. He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.
    D. He suggested the author aim at a community college.
    4. Talking of his high school years, the author feels  _____.
    A. regretful
    B. lonely
    C. angry
    D. pleased

         Many researchers used to think yawning (打呵欠) was necessary for increasing oxygen intake to the
    lungs (肺), while others insisted it was to increase blood pressure and the heart rate.
         While both findings are correct, new studies show that the main point of yawning is to relax.
    Researchers point out that we have a tendency to yawn before big events-athletes yawn before races, pilots
    yawn before take-offs, and students yawn before exams. Humans are not the only creatures who yawn.
    Animals have been observed to yawn before feeding time. while wild animals have a tendency to yawn
    before fights.
         New findings also show that yawing might be a handover from our ancestors, and represents a need
    for change. Our ancestors passed it to us with other life skills. Even babies yawn as they change positions,
    but children do not begin to copy other people's yawns until the age of four or five.
         Strangely enough yawning is also related to respect. Hundreds and thousands of years ago,the campfire
    (篝火) served as the main gathering point for members of groups. Researchers claim that as people sat
    around the fire, warming themselves, they would yawn if the leader yawned, as a mark of respect. Those
    who were more supportive of the leader tended to yawn more easily.
         Despite all these findings, scientists still haven't figured out why we yawn before bedtime. Then again,
    it may be another way of demanding a change-enough of TV, it's time to go to bed!
    1. What is the text mainly about?
    A. People who tend to yawn.
    B. Why we yawn.
    C. The history of yawning
    D. The disadvantages of yawning.
    2. According to researchers, yawning before an exam suggests that _____.
    A. you need to relax.
    B. you don't like taking exams
    C. you want to control your heart rate
    D. you're sleepy
    3. The underlined word "handover" in the third paragraph probably refers to _____.
    A. a need for change
    B. something our ancestors have passed on to us
    C. the way in which people copy others'yawns
    D. a lost life skill
    4. From the fourth paragraph we can leam that _____.
    A. people used to yaxvn to draw attention
    B. people yawn when they feel warm
    C. yawning happened at night in ancient times
    D. yawning was a social skill in ancient times

         Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what are the values which Americans
    live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
         Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has
    caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values
    listed in this booklet describe most( but not all) Americans, and that understanding these values can help you,
    the international visitor, understand Americans.
          It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in
    Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions-actions which might otherwise
    appear "strange","confusing", or "unbelievable" when evaluated from the perspective ( aspect) of the foreigner's
    own society and its values.
         The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs,
    assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter ( meet) an action, or hear a statement in
    the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this
    booklet.
    1. An ordinary American can't tell you his/her value system because _____.
    A. this is something an American lives by
    B. everyone will have his/her own value system
    C. he/she has never thought about it
    D. values are something often in their thought
    2. The author lists 13 values in his booklet to _____.
    A. invite foreigners to visit America
    B. look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors
    C. describe the confusing actions of most Americans
    D. help international visitors understand Americans
    3. The underlined word "ingrained" in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means "_____ ".
    A. rooted in the minds
    B. found in the grains
    C. planted for food
    D. prepared with grain
    4. Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way,
        probably because _____.
    A. Americans are hard to understand
    B. Americans have values which are entirely different from their own
    C. they view Americans according to the values in their own society
    D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them

         Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning
    through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory (感觉的), communicational and social development.
    Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally
    trained before they are old enough for the kindergarten.
         There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that
    orphan children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure
    in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are
    more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public
    help or go to jail.
         There are also negative parts of putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online
    explains that the younger the child, the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work. I have personally
    witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs became frustrated and bored with
    school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the
    better off he or she is, so they push to start childhood education earlier.
         Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years,
    studies also show that this head start is really a"false start", as the gains are lost in middle and high school years.
    It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education. Head Start programs have
    not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is
    time to find other ways to close that gap.
    1. The purpose of the government valuing early childhood education is _____.
    A. to develop the children's communication
    B. to give orphaned children good care and education
    C. to get the children prepared for the kindergarten
    D. to train the children formally and regularly
    2. According to the studies which of the following is True?
    A. Children with good early education may have a rich life.
    B. The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life.
    C. Children without early education can do well at school.
    D. Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children.
    3. The author's attitude toward early childhood education is _____.
    A. puzzling
    B. objective
    C. indifferent
    D. approving
    4. The main idea of the last passage is that _____.
    A. early childhood education is very necessary
    B. Head Start programs have helped the children a lot
    C. environment is the most important to life's success
    D. better ways should be found to help the poor children

         Our school had a series of activity for Girls' Day. I had
    great difficulty decided to take part in the singing competition with my
    roommates. It was a really challenge for me because I had never sung 
    on the stage. We choose the song Seasons in the Sun and changed
    the words.

    To make sure our performance was good, they made great efforts to
    practise it again and again. Therefore, when time came to
    perform, I  
                   
    was too nervous to remember any words of a song!
    Although result was that we failed to make the finals,for me, 
    Having courage to sing on public was a great experience. I believe the
