First Days First Days are milestones in our lives. They mark the beginning of a new experience or journey. They are also filed with mixed emotions. They can be a little frightening as we step into the unknown, but they can also inspire us as they give us fresh hope for the future. First days are powerful as we can leave our mistakes and failures in the past and make a new start. I want to share a story that perfectly illustrates this point. It is a story about a little girl named Trisha. Trisha was born into a family of teachers who had taught her that reading was the key to knowledge. She watched her older brother as he read his schoolbooks and could hardly wait for the day when she would learn to read. But when Trisha finally started school, she found that she was not able to understand the words like the other boys and girls. No matter how hard she tried, the letters mixed up together, and she saw only confusion. Trisha fell further behind, the other children laughed and made fun of her, and she began to believe that she was not smart. By the time Trisha entered fifth grade, she had lost all confidence in herself. That was the year she met Mr. Falker. He was different. He praised Trisha’s talents, and he wouldn’t tolerate the other children teasing her. Mr. Falker realized that Trisha didn’t know how to read, but he knew she could with some help. He recruited（招聘）a reading specialist, and together they worked with Trisha after school. They helped her to write letters and hear the sounds until one day Mr. Falker handed her a book and she read it all by herself. She didn't even notice the tears in his eyes. This is a true story. The little girl is Patricia Polacco, the famous children’s author, and thank you Mr. Falker is the twenty-sixth book that she has written. Mr. Falker gave her a fresh new start when she walked into his fifth grade class on that first day of school. And he made a difference in her life. We can all make a difference in the world—one student at a time by using "first days" with wisdom and grace, and giving each individual the chance to start over and become the best that they can be. 【1】Trisha fell far behind in school because she ________. A.was not confident B.was looked down upon by others C.did not know how to read D.did not try her best 【2】The passage is probably intended for ________. A.teachers B.students C.children’s authors D.reading specialists 【3】How does the writer make his point? A.By giving an example. B.By making suggesting. C.By arguing. D.By persuading. 【4】The passage mainly conveys the message that first days are ________. A.frightening as we step into the unknown B.inspiring as they give us fresh hope for the future C.turning points from where we can make a new start D.chances when we can forget our mistakes and failures

Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job．The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker．If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits． Job sharing differs from conventional （常规的） part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment． Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people．Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities． As would be expected, most job sharers are women．A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age．Subsequent studies have come up with similar results．Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status．Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence． The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs．However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position．Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones．In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals． 【1】In what way is work sharing different from job sharing? A. Work sharing requires more working hours． B. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs． C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary． D. Work sharing depends on the employer's decision． 【2】According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because ________． A. they sought higher social status B. they were over ideal working ages C. they had difficulty finding full-time jobs D. they had to take care of both work and family 【3】In job sharing the partners should ________． A. enjoy equal social status B. have similar work experience C. keep in touch with each other D. know each other very well 【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________． A. describe job sharing in general B. discuss how to provide more jobs C. recommend job sharing to women D. compare job sharing with work sharing

A Good Night’s Sleep Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life．While you’re sleeping, your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information. Although we all know the importance of getting a good night's sleep, not all of us know the best way of getting it. A sleep expert, Phil Atherton, gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night, which will leave you ready for action in the morning. According to Phil Atherton, not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good night’s sleep. The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours. So you'd better avoid eating any food three hours before bed, as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help minimize damage from too much sugar floating around. It’s also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep. You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within 1 hour before bed, as your brain uses light to help set internal “body clock”. Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep, the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that it's time to sleep. Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music. Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures. Having a suitable bed, especially a suitable mattress (床垫), is necessary for a good night's sleep. Sleep is a personalized activity, and we all adopt different sleeping positions. Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position. The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user, allowing for space to move around. The recent research is pretty clear that a good night’s sleep in a major component of good health. Since the start of the 21st century, studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you. 【1】What does the author intend to tell us in the passage? A. When to start a sound sleep. B. How to get a good night's sleep. C. What to do with sleep problems. D. Why to form a good habit of sleeping. 【2】According to the author, before going to sleep, you’d better ________. A. free yourself from tension B. check your blood sugar C. relieve your pain in the back D. record your biological clock 【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Not eating food. B. Taking a meal. C. Not sleeping well. D. Having a good sleep. 【4】Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? A. B. C. D. CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear. "When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it." "I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper." Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（审美的）value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them." To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand. 【1】The underlined expression "taking stock in" in paragraph 4 probably means ________. A.getting bored with B.getting dependent on C.becoming crazy about D.getting curious about 【2】The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because ________. A.computers have become a trend and fashion in China B.they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays C.they find it not easy to remember how to write a character D.they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently 【3】Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting? A.Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions. B.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. C.Handwriting can impress people well and build one's self-confidence. D.The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting. 【4】Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A.To Type or to Handwrite? B.The Importance of Handwriting and Typing C.Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand D.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters

Selfie Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie. But not everyone is familiar with the term, so here’s a brief definition. 【1】 Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Some selfies are extreme close-ups, other show part of an arm held straight outward and a few of the great ones even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror so that they can get a full body shot of their reflection. 【2】 Since social media is the driving force of most selfie activity, younger kids interested in staying connected to their friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc. are more active in sharing selfies on a regular basis. Who knows what kind of psychological factors drive any specific person to take a selfies and upload it to a social networking site. 【3】 Here's one. Not only are young people plugged into the web at all times, but they also have more self-esteem issues—and many of these teens or college kids might upload selfies to deal with their own self-consciousness. 【4】 When you feel good or look good about yourself, it's far too easy to reach for you phone and document it all through one or several selfies. Kids who are connected on a social network to someone they admire may be more driven to upload attractive selfies as a way to seek attention, especially if they're too shy to do it in person. Besides, there are people who are bored at work, bored at school, etc. So they will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. 【5】 They just do it because they like to do it, it's fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life. A. Some people don't need a real reason to do it. B. There's so much more meaning behind why we do it. C. It's about getting attention from as many people as possible. D. There are lots of selfie styles, and these are some of the most common. E. Selfie is a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social network website. F. What's more, it's human nature to want to show off your own great achievement. G. Everyone's own situation is different, but here are some of the most common theories.
