| My first experience of modern city life was quite impressive. I was very curious when I arrived in London. First, I noticed so many people were on a trip in a busy way. When I first saw the machine on the underground where you are expected to feed your ticket in and have to run through moving barriers (拦板), I was completely fascinated (被迷住了) at it. Flashing with the light, the little green man, telling you when to cross the road, was also quite interesting, and so were those street advertisements which kept changing subjects as you look. In my native place, my life is so different from people’s here. I am a market gardener from Makono, a village which is led by a market-managing group. People there usually walk two hours a day to get water from a well. What’s more, I am used to going, for many hours, without drinking , so it was strange to be offered cups of tea all the time here in London. In my native place, on market days, I usually walk for several hours with my basket full of fruits and vegetables on my head, carrying them to the market for sale, to earn ￡1per basket. Without the produce from my garden, I could not pay for education or healthcare for my children. Gardening is not a hobby for me - it’s survival . But here people are planting something only to kill their leisure time. During our visiting-time in Britain, we visited some local government agencies, schools, churches and farms in Sussex, Scotland, Yorshire, Loncolnshire and Cambridgeshire, meeting people who were of the same profession as we are. Children in Burley-in-Wharfedale, Yorkshire, prepared a special get-together to greet us and we were also asked a lot about our life which was quite fascinating to them. For example, how we make our houses out of mud and how we get our water for our daily necessities, as well as for our garden. |
| 1. What can we learn from Paragraph One ? |
| A. The writer knew London well. B. Londoners are always in a hurry . C. It was easy to get lost in London. D. Everything looked new to the writer. |
| 2. The most disadvantage in the writer’s native place should be that ___ . |
| A. there are many market-managing groups for gardeners B. the lack of water makes the life there even harder C. people there like to travel about on foot for enjoyment D. people support themselves using the garden produce |
| 3. The underlined word " survival" has the most exact meaning of ___ . |
| A. a means of earning one’s life B. a habit to live a better life C. a kind of very practical idea D. a custom followed by people |
| 4. Which of the following should be the best title ? |
| A. How to Get around in London B. Communicating with the British C. Experiencing Modern Life D. How Can One Live Leisurely(休闲地) ? |

| It might sound ridiculous (荒唐的) that goal setting could actually hold you back from completing tasks and dreams you may have. While it is true that goals can help you sometimes, in some cases they just lead to frustration(挫折) and they actually bring you down. Let's look at this a little closer with an example. Many people jump online and are looking to start a business online as a way to make money from home and let's say they set a goal to make $10,000 in their first month. They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little time so they think $10,000 a month shouldn't be too hard. But what happens when you only bring in $1,000 in your first 30 days online?If this is pure profit(利润) you might still be happy, but this is nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet. So naturally you would feel like you failed to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself. If you continue not to reach this goal month in month, it starts to add up and really weighs on you. I'm not saying that you shouldn't set goals, but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached to your goals. An alternative approach would be to set certain goals when you want to accomplish things and start out small. Build your confidence by accomplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce then it will be a nice surprise. It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing every day you have to complete a few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things. |
| 1. The purpose of the passage is to _________. |
| A. show that it's necessary to set goals. B. prove the disadvantages of setting goals. C. suggest a way of setting goals to reach success D. introduce how to reach success by setting high goals. |
| 2. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the example to ________. |
| A. persuade readers not to focus on making money only. B. prove that goals often result in frustration. C. show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreams. D. advise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration. |
| 3. According to the passage, always sticking to our goals is ________. |
| A. important B. unnecessary C. ridiculous D. natural |
| 4. What information will probably be proved following the last paragraph? |
| A. Benefits of setting small goals. B. Side effects of goal setting. C. Success achieved without goal setting. D. One more useful suggestion for goal setting |

| Since the nineteen nineties, education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen. Last December, the government announced that seventy percent of students passed their final examination to finish high school. In 2008 the passage rate was about sixty-three percent. There have been increases each year since then. Professor Shireen Motala at the University of Johannesburg says access to basic education is no longer the problem in South Africa. She says most children stay in school until they are about sixteen. The problem now, she says, is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school. Students take an examination known as the matric in grade twelve, their final or "matriculation" year. Professor Motala notes that less than half the children who started school in 2000 sat for the matric last year. He said, "Only around forty-five percent survived, which means that a large number of children are falling by the wayside. And the concern is that where do those learners actually go to." Educational researchers also point to another problem. They say South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in math and science. One of those researchers is Graeme Bloch. He says many schools are not well-equipped. "Because of poverty and limited resources, many children do not see laboratories and ninety-two percent of the schools do not have libraries." Also, education specialists say in many cases, teachers and school principals do not have the skills or training to do their jobs. In other cases, they are simply not doing their duty to provide an education. Professor Motala says a number of teachers were poorly trained during the system of apartheid, or racial separation in South Africa. Apartheid ended in 1994. Secondly, she says, teachers have been confused by the many educational reform efforts in the last fifteen years. And, finally, she thinks language differences in the classroom have not gotten as much attention as they should. Subjects such as math and science are taught in English starting at about age ten. But South Africa has eleven official languages and many more unofficial ones. South Africa's minister of basic education promises a number of improvements. Angie Motshega says teacher development efforts will focus on subject and content knowledge, and making sure the correct teachers are in the correct jobs. |
| 1. Which of the following statements is WRONG? |
| A. There is a high dropout rate of students under 16 in South Africa. B. More students with the skills for higher education in math and science are needed. C. Racial separation in South Africa once affected the training of many teachers. D. South Africa has eleven official languages and many more unofficial ones. |
| 2. South African schools cannot provide education of good quality for their students. Which of the followings is NOT the reason? |
| A. Many schools are not well-equipped. B. Some teachers are poorly trained and have no sense of responsibility. C. There is no educational reform efforts to guide teachers. D Language differences in the classroom have not gotten enough attention. |
| 3. What's the writer's attitude towards the future of education in South African? |
| A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. indifferent D. worried |

| "I wish Central Bank would be robbed," George Pickens said to himself. He had been making this wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller (银行柜员) at the bank. All over the country banks were being robbed, George thought sourly. Why not this bank? Were robbers scornful of its four-million-dollar capital?Were they afraid of Mr. Ackerman, the old bank guard, who hadn't pulled out his gun in twenty-two years? Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. After all, he couldn't simply take the thick bundles of bills that were under his hands all day long. So he had thought of another way to get them. His plan was simple. It went like this: If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B… And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain amount of money… What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and claiming that it was stolen by Bank Robber A?There was only one problem. Where was Bank Robber A? One morning George entered the bank feeling something was about to happen. "Good morning, Mr. Burrows." he said cheerfully. The bank president muttered something and went into his office. At two o'clock Bank Robber A walked in. George knew he was a bank robber. For one thing, he slipped in. For another, he wore a mask. "This is a holdup." the man said roughly. He took a pistol from his pocket. The guard made a small sound. "You," the bank robber said, "lie down on the floor." Mr. Ackerman lay down. The robber stepped over to George's cage. "All right." he said. "Hand it over." "Yes, sir." said George. "Would you like it in ten-or-twenty-dollar bills?" "Just hand it over!" George reached into his cashbox and took all the bills from the top section-close to six thousand dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket, and turned to leave. Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top section of the cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets. The bank robber was gone. George fainted. When he woke he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him. "I'm all right." he said bravely. "Perhaps you should go home, George." Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, said. As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and counted it. He had seven thousand dollars. He was very happy. The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business. But everyone was there, helping to examine the bank's records for the special audit (审计师) Mr. Bell was taking. George was called into Mr. Burrows' office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful. "George," he said, "I want you to meet Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank." "Good morning, George." said Mr. Carruthers. "I was sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all right now?" "Yes, sir. Just fine, thanks." "I'm glad to hear it. That was quite an adventure. It just goes to show how easy it is to rob our bank." "Sir?"said George, confused.? "George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too. That's why I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on his toes." "I don't understand." said George. "What game?" The old man laughed and whipped out a mask. He placed it over his face and said, "All right. Hand it over!" Mr. Burrows laughed but George did not. "And the money?" George asked in a small voice. "Don't worry." Mr. Carruthers said. "I put it all back in your cashbox, all six thousand. We're just finishing up the audit now." George turned cold with fear. Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, put his head into the room. "Mr. Burrows," he said gravely, "may I see you a moment?" |

| Telephone tips If the phone rings and someone speaks in English, don't be afraid to answer it! The fear of talking on the phone in a second language will disappear if you practice often. Here are a few tips for helping you improve your ability to answer a call in English. 1._______ Listening to someone speaking in a second language over the telephone can be very challenging because you cannot see the person you are trying to hear. However, it may be even more difficult for the person you are talking with to understand you. You may not realize that your pronunciation isn't clear because your teacher and fellow students know and understand you. Pay special attention to your weak areas of your pronunciation when you are on the phone. 2._________ Don't pretend to understand everything you hear over the telephone. Even native speakers ask each other to repeat and confirm information from time to time. This is especially important if you are taking a message for someone else. Learn the appropriate expressions that English speakers use when they don't hear something properly. Don't be afraid to remind the person to slow down more than once. Keep your telephone in an area that is away from other noise distractions such as a radio or television. 3. ________. There are many ways to get free telephone English practice. After business hours, you can call and listen to recorded messages. Write down what you hear the first time, and then call back and check if your notes are accurate. Make sure you have a pen handy so that you can repeat the information and check your comprehension. 4._________. The way that you speak to your best friend on the phone is very different from the way you should speak to someone in a business setting. Many speakers make the mistake of being too direct on the telephone. It is possible that the person on the other line will think that you are being rude on purpose if you don't use formal language in certain situations. Sometimes just one word such as could or may is necessary in order to sound polite. Take the time to learn how to answer the phone and say goodbye in a polite manner, as well as all the various ways one can start and end a conversation casually. Listening to someone on the telephone is like listening to a taped recording in class. The only difference is that you have to talk back! Follow the tips above and remember that practice makes perfect! |

| I still remember my middle school life in that small town. I am then in a school for students from Tibet. As we all left home at a early age, we met lots of problems in our daily life. We had to do the washing, cleaning and shopping by us. However, we seldom felt lonely or helplessly. We enjoyed our happy life. At weekends, we would play basketball, swam in the pool or go for a picnic. We are lived in a big family. We treated each other brothers and sisters. If any one of us had any difficulty with his studies, the other student would help him out. It has been five years when we graduated, but those memories are as sweet as never before. __________________________________________________________________________ |
