I should not have dressed up. Apparently, no other fifth grader had felt driven to celebrate the first day of school via fancy clothing, and so I stood out not Just as a newcomer, but as an awkwardly dressed one. Scratching at grainy black tights with the toe of my sneaker, I paused uncertainly in the doorway of the Writing room.
Pausing uncertainly, however, was not the way of the world of Mr. Matthews. This red-haired red-bearded, red-faced man beckoned(召唤)wildly to me to enter. I walked over to a seat. and in three minutes of casual observation was convinced that I had never known an adult like him. He laughed from his belly, moved his ears on request, and his face then turned even redder. His students loved him: it was evident from the way they greeted him to the way they relaxed when they entered his room.
On the contrary, I was not relaxed. I was apathetic towards writing. My only previous writing experience had been in cloth-covered books with more room for illustrations(插画) than print. I had no idea what to expect from a class that was just called “Writing,” but I was certain I wasn’t going to like it.
Yet Mr. Matthews spent that first class entertaining us. He told stories, jokes, and then dismissed us early for a rest. Our assignment to write about the best part of summer seemed almost an afterthought for him.
However, I was seized by an inexplicable desire to do my homework. It wasn’t anything specific he had said in class that day, but the way he had acted. I wanted this man to like and approve of me, and the quickest way to earn this was through my writing.
That night, despite having dealt with a word processor all of twice in my life wrote with passion(激情) Proudly handing it in the next morning, I was sure it was the best thing I’d ever written. For the rest of the year, this one-man audience inspired me to improve constantly. The fifth grader would never have guessed that, six years later, writing would become a voluntary, daily activity, flowing from journals to emails to poetry workshops to newspapers.
All because she wanted to win a crazy teacher’s favor!

Shoppers in the United States have many different retail stores (零售店) to choose from. You can shop at large department stores, furniture stores, jewelry stores, electronic equipment stores and many others. Another type of retail store—the catalog store, has become popular in the U.S.
Catalog stores offer much of the same goods as traditional retail stores. However, in these stores, shoppers select the items they wish to buy from large catalogs that are filled with photos and descriptions of all the different goods. The variety of products listed in the catalogs includes everything from baby clothing to video equipment and watches. The prices of these items are very low. In fact, the same items often cost more in other retail stores. And that’s the reason many people prefer to shop in catalog stores.
When shoppers go to a catalog store, they see many brand-name products on display. If they are interested in purchasing an item, they need to follow this simple procedure.
●First, they go to a counter to find the store’s catalog.
●They look in the catalog to find the exact item they wish to buy.
●Then, they fill out an order form with the name of the item, the item number from the catalog, the price, and their name and address.
●After completing the form, the customer gives it to a salesperson, who checks to see if the item is in stock.
If the item is available, the stockroom sends it on a conveyor belt (输送带) to the pick-up counter. When the item arrives at the pick-up counter, the customer’s name is called, and the customer pays for the item.
The whole procedure usually takes ten to twenty minutes. If the item isn’t available, the salesperson can usually check the store’s computer and find out when it will be in stock again.
Catalog stores usually don’t offer all the services that regular retail stores do. They usually don’t have many salespeople, so customers can’t expect to receive much assistance or attention from store employees. Customers need to know about the features and the quality of the items they wish to buy before they shop, since there isn’t much opportunity to ask questions or examine the product in the store. However, catalog stores offer quality items at lower prices, and consumers seem to appreciate this.
【1】What is the difference between the traditional retail stores and the catalog stores?
A.The prices of products in catalog stores are higher.
B.Shoppers select the items they need from large catalogs.
C.Catalog Stores offer more products than the traditional stores.
D.Catalog stores usually offer all the services that regular retail stores do.
【2】Which of the following is the right procedure for a shopper in a catalog store?
①Check the catalog to select the items.
②Fill out the order form.
③Wait at the pick-up counter.
④Find a catalog at a counter.
⑤Find a salesperson to cheek the form.
A.④-①-③-⑤-② B.①-④-②-③-⑤
C.④-①-②-⑤-③ D.④-②-⑤-③-①
【3】From the text we know that shopper of catalog stores______.
A.become salespeople now
B.do the same as in retail stores
C.have more chances to examine the goods
D.should know the information of the goods ahead
【4】Catalog stores are popular mainly because they________
A.offer quality goods at lower prices
B.have many salespersons for service
C.can help save much time when doing shopping
D.offer the exact items the customer wishes to purchase

How to write a good college application essay
Here are some tips for writing that all-important application essay, which can often mean the difference between getting accepted or rejected by the school of your choice.
The essay is your view of the world and your ambitions. 【1】 It needs to tell a story with passion (热情), using personal, entertaining anecdotes that show your character, your interests, your values, your life experiences, and even your sense of humor.
Emphasize volunteer work or other ways you’ve helped people or made your community a better place. It helps if the activity is related to the subject you want to study. 【2】
Mention summer courses. Extracurricular activities or lab work that show steps you’ve taken to learn and understand your field of interest. That will help show you know the field you’ve chosen to study and are passionate about it.
Explain why you want to study at this particular college rather than at others. Say why the school curriculum, atmosphere, or professors influenced your choice.
【3】 Use grammar, svntax(句法) and writing with high level that show you’re ready for college. Never use text- style abbreviations(缩写) or rude language .
After the essay is submitted, check your email and voice mail daily. 【4】 Many students check only exits and sometimes miss emails asking follow-up questions or requesting an interview.
Hafeez Lakhani of Lakhani Coaching summed up the essay this way: “【5】 What will make you the most interesting contributor to that dinner table conversation? What will make you help everyone else have a more interesting experience?” A good essay will answer those questions and stand out from the pile .
A.Every college is like a dinner table.
B.It’s not just a list of everything you’ve done.
C.It is your mind and how it works that are distinctive.
D.Correct spelling, grammar and punctuation are Important.
E.Make sure you see and respond quickly to messages from admissions staff members
F.Colleges see themselves as communities, where people have to get along with others

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)perched on the tree near their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this? ” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you It’s a crow’. ”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ”
At this time some expression of irritation(恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while after, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.
