A group of dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problems with 41 . He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from a teacher? You know what people say about teachers: those who can, do---those who can't, 42 ."
To stress his point he turned to another guest, "You're a teacher, Bonnie. What do you 43 ?"
Bonnie, who had a reputation for 44 and frankness, replied, "You want to know what I make?” She 45 for a second and then began.
"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of 46 time while their parents can't make them 47 for 5 minutes without an iPod. You want to know what I make?"
She paused again and looked at each and every person sitting at the table 48 .
"I make kids wonder and question. I make them 49 for what they do 50 . I make them have 51 for the old and take responsibility for their actions. I teach them to write. I make them read. I make them learn everything they 52 to know in English while they’re preserving their own unique 53 identity. I make my classroom a place where all of my students feel 54 without fearing any danger.
Finally I make them understand that if they use the 55 they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can 56 in life."
Bonnie paused one last time and then continued. "Then when people try to 57 me by what I make, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are 58 . You want to know what I make? I make a 59 ! What do you make? "

My dear teachers and fellow students,
In a couple of weeks, we’ll say goodbye to our mother school.
Some people believe that greed and selfishness have become the basis of modern society,and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fastpaced world,many values are undergoing major changes.While people traditionally prioritize caring,sharing and generosity in life and work,modern people seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life.They say that it is a jungle out there.To survive,you have to fight with whatever means that come in handy.Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company,employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position,even at the cost of colleagues.We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct.It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of common practice,it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness,both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then.But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?There is no fixed answer either.Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.In conclusion,modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure.However,we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
| Main comparisons | Contexts |
| 56________are changing | In the past people put caring,sharing and generosity in the first Nowadays,people seem to be more 57________ |
| 58_______about themselves. | |
| 59_______are changing too. | People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦逊的). |
| People may strive to achieve their own 60_______at the price of their coworkers. | |
| The author’s understanding | |
| 61________for the changes in author’s eyes | Fierce 62_______and great 63________on modern people may be responsible for the changes. |
| The author’s 64_______ towards topic | A relationship which can 65_______ two sides should be established. |
The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.
This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
24. At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage?
A. At about twenty-five B. In their earl fifties
C. At the age of fifteen D. At any age from fifteen to forty-five
25. Many girls, the passage claims, are now likely to_______.
A. give up their jobs for good after they are married
B. leave school as soon as they can
C. marry so that they can get a job
D. continue working until they are going to have a baby
26. When she was over fifty, a late nineteenth-century mother ______.
A. was usually expected to die fairly soon
B. would expect to work until she died
C. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobs
D. was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to
27. Nowadays, a husband tends to_______.
A. play a greater part in looking after the children
B. help his wife by doing much of the housework
C. feel dissatisfied with his role in the family
D. take a part-time job so that he can help in the home
If you get tired ________ staying here,you’re ________ liberty to go wherever you like.
A. of;at B. from;at C. of;for D. from;for
----The light in the office is still on.
----Oh, I forget _________.

First your time for eating , sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.

Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist (打击乐器独奏演员) in spite of her disability.

Computer games are very popular. It is natural for people to want to win,so playing against a computer or against a friend on the computer can be difficult to stop.__36__
Computer games do have their advantages. They are excellent for training hand and eye coordination(协调).__37__Computer games can also be great for teaching students. The students are open to learning while playing.__38__Students can also learn at their own speed and not feel pressured to match classmates. And with computers you can practice a task as many times as you like.__39__

If students cannot stop playing computer games,they won't do as well as in other areas in their life—not just schoolwork,but in developing important social skills such as how to talk with people and how to work with others as part of a team. And if they are no longer taking regular exercise,their health will become worse.
Computer games have their place,but people must also remember it is important to have a balanced lifestyle.
A.Too much time on the computer can hurt your eyes.
