Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the
Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For 61 , it is a
useful way to release their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students. 62 many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one’s
micro blog(微博)will take a lot of time and energy, 63 should be used to study.
In my view, I am greatly in favor 64 this activity. Today the Internet is playing 65 important and essential role in our life. Therefore as high school students of the Information Age, we need
to learn to make use of this 66 (value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What’s
more, opening and organizing micro blogs need various abilities such 67 writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro
blog. As a result, we improve ourselves while 68 (organize) our micro blogs.
In fact, micro blog 69 (oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it 70 matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.
We will go shopping if it ______tomorrow.

How to Babysit
Babysitting a child requires some training, patience and understanding of how to calm a baby when he cries. Here are some tips that may help you:
Prepare for the job. Check your calendar to make sure you are available when asked to babysit. __36__ Find out what time you will be needed, night or day, and again check to make sure you can help. If not, you can ask the person whether you can babysit another time, or babysit another child.
Write down the following information: the cellphone number, the address and the phone number of the place where they will be, the child's name and blood type, the doctor's name and phone number. __37__ You have to know these because you never know what will happen. You technically need most of the baby's medical records. Also ask where the first-aid kit is kept.
__ 38__ The phone numbers of the police, the ambulance and the fire department are very important, and should be written clearly on the refrigerator. If they give you a grandparent's phone number, that's also good, because the parents might be at a shopping mall and may not be able to hear their cellphones.
__39__ It is better if the parents write them down because you could make a mistake when writing. This is another very important thing to do. Find out where all the things, such as baby' s bottles or spare clothes are kept.
__40__ Keep the baby in the place where you're watching, and you can make sure he is safe. If the child you are watching is older, keep him limited to the house, or if you're outside, to the backyard. Smaller children should stay where you can see them at all times. All children should be kept as far away from a street as possible.
A. Never leave the baby out of your sight!
B. These are very important in an emergency.
C. Stay calm in case an accident should happen.
D. Never answer the door unless you know who the visitor is.
E. Make sure you get all the emergency phone numbers needed.
F. Make sure the parents give you instructions on how to care for a baby.
G. This will help avoid the frustration of a change of plans at the last minute.

During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.
Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”
Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”
She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You’ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”

French surgeons have performed what they said on Wednesday was the world's first partial face transplant(移植)--- giving a new nose, chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog.
Specialists from two French hospitals carried out the operation on a 38-year-old woman on Sunday in the northern city of Amiens by taking the face from a brain-dead woman, who had hanged herself just hours before the operation. Her family agreed on the operation.
“The patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,” the hospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery.
The woman had been left without a nose and lips after the dog attacked her last May, and was unable to talk or chew properly. Such injuries are “extremely difficult, if not impossible” to repair using normal surgical techniques, the statement said.
The statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered, but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face.
The operation was led by Jean-Michel Dubernard, a specialist from a hospital in Lyon who has also carried out hand transplants.
Skin transplants have long been used to treat burns and other injuries, but operations around the mouth and nose have been considered very difficult because of the area's high sensitivity(敏感) to foreign tissue.
Teams in France, the United States and Britain had been developing techniques to make face transplants a reality
There was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked, a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers.
Experts say that although such medical advances should be celebrated, the transplant had thrown up moral(道德的)and ethical(伦理的)issues. Little is known about the psychological effect of thee transplant.
29. The best title for the passage would be ________.
A. French Woman has First Partial Face Transplant B. First Face Transplant Opens Debate
C. Risks and Ethical Problems of a Face Transplant
D. A Complete Face Transplant of a French Woman
30. Why did the woman need such an operation?
A. Her face had been bitten by a dog B. Her face had been burnt in a fire.
C. She was born especially ugly D. She wanted to test such an operation.
31. What can we learn about the operation?

B. There has arisen(引起) a debate about the operation.
C. The woman will suffer from psychological damage soon.
D. Such transplants have been performed by doctors.
32 . Which of the following is NOT one of the risks of the operation?

Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmer. During this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings. However, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring. We need to look at ourselves, set new goals, and decide how to improve ourselves.
In England people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we’d like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year’s resolution. These can be anything from improving one’s health through exercise or cutting out bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance.
Luckily, we don’t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better people. We can do this whenever we like. The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.
Sometimes it’s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals, but an old saying is "to begin is to be half-way there." I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easier. For example, spending less time on QQ or playing video games and more time studying or communicating face-to-face can be difficult habits to change at first. But once we settle into the new routine(例行常态)and start to see the results, it’s difficult not to wonder why we didn’t do it sooner.
The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic targets. If we do this, it's easy to lose motivation (动力) because the end goal seems so far away. Try to make many small targets you want to reach on the way to your final goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.
21. In Paragraph one, the author wants to tell us that spring is a time ________.
A. to take a walk around outdoors B. to enjoy fresh air and bright colors
C. to set goals for a fresh beginning D. for animals to have babies
22. A New Year's resolution is ________.
A. a decision made to improve ourselves B. a ceremony to celebrate New Year
C. a promise made to your parents D. a recall of what happened last year
23. Which of the following might the writer agree with according to Paragraph Four?
A. Be swift to hear, slow to speak. B. All that ends well is well.
C. Well begun is half done. D. All roads lead to Rome.
24. What does the underlined word "daunting" probably mean in Paragraph Four?
A. changeable B. difficult C. extreme D. confusing

People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔)each day.
Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work
The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.
