Dear Manager,
     I’m writing to tell you something that happened to me. _______________________________________

Twenty years ago, I was at a party, talking to a man whose name I have long since forgotten. Sometimes I think this man came into my life for the unique purpose of telling me this story, which has delighted and inspired me ever since.

The story he told me was about his younger brother, who was trying to be an artist; it was a real story about how brave, creative and trusting his brother was. For the purpose of this story, let’s call the little brother Little Brother.

Little Brother, a young painter, went to France to surround himself with beauty and inspiration. He lived on the cheap, painted every day, visited museums, traveled to picturesque places, bravely spoke to everyone he met, and showed his work to anyone who would look at it. One afternoon, he struck up a conversation at a café with a group of charming young people who turned out to be some fancy nobles. They took a liking to Little Brother and invited him to a party that weekend in a castle in the Loire Valley. They said this was going to be the party of the year. It would be attended by the rich and famous and by several crowned heads of Europe. Best of all it was a masquerade ball (化装舞会) where nobody would hesitate in their spending on the costumes (特殊场合穿的套服). “Dress up,” they said, “and join us!”

Excited, Little Brother worked all week on a costume that he was certain would be highly impressive. He held back on neither the details nor the imagination of this creation. Then he rented a car and drove three hours to the castle. He changed into his costume in the car and went up the castle steps. Little Brother entered the ballroom, head held high.

Upon arrival, he immediately realized his mistake.

This was indeed a costume party—his new friends had not misled him there—but he had missed one detail in translation: This was a themed costume party. The theme was “a medieval court.” And Little Brother was dressed as a lobster (龙虾).

All around him, the wealthy and beautiful were dressed in fancy clothes, wearing sparkling jewels. Little Brother, on the other hand, was wearing a red coat, red tights, red ballet slippers, and giant red claws. Also, his face was painted red. And he was the only American in the room, too.

He stood at the top of the steps for one long, frightful moment. Running away in shame seemed like the easiest response. But he didn’t run. Somehow, he found his determination. He’d come this far, after all. He’d worked really hard to make this costume，and he was proud of it. He took a deep breath and walked onto the dance floor.

As he moved into the crowd, a silence fell. The dancing stopped. The other guests gathered around Little Brother. Finally someone asked him what on earth he was.

Little Brother bowed deeply and announced, “I am the court lobster.”

Then: laughter.

Not ridicule—just joy. They loved him. They loved his sweetness, his weirdness (怪诞), his giant red claws, and his skinny legs in his bright tights. He made the party. Little Brother even ended up dancing with the queen of Belgium.

This is how you must do it, people.

At some point or another, I have created something in my life that did make me feel like I was the guy who just walked into a fancy ball wearing a homemade lobster costume. But you must stubbornly walk into that room, and you must hold your head high. Never apologize for it, never explain it away, and never be ashamed of it. You did your best with what you knew, and you worked with what you had, in the time you were given. You were invited, you showed up, and you simply cannot do more than that.

They might throw you out—then again, they might not. The ballroom is often more welcoming and supportive than you could ever imagine. You might end up dancing with royalty.

Or you might just end up having to dance alone in the corner with your big, ugly red claws waving in the empty air.

That’s fine too. Sometimes it’s like that. What you absolutely must not do is walk out. Otherwise you will miss the party, and that would be a pity because—please believe me—we did not come all this great distance, and make all this great effort, only to miss the party at the last moment.

B. As Little Brother showed up in the crowd, a silence fell.

 I was really exciting when my dad told me that a British girl was coming to our house for several day. I think she would be typical Western girl with blond hair and blue eyes. But when I met her, I was surprised to find out a Chinese girl smiling sweetly at me and greeting me with bad Chinese. She told me that she was born in London and couldn’t speak many Chinese. We got along well and I showed her many wonderfully things in Chinese culture. She was happy and kept ask questions. Time passed so quickly that before we knew it, it was time for me to leave.

Many people are constantly waiting for their life to start. “When I’m older I’ll do this” and “In a few years I’ll do that.” They think the life they are   41   is boring and meaningless.

Who has never viewed himself or herself   42   worthless and unattractive?

In others’ eyes, you are always “the funny one” and become loud and overconfident to mask what you are actually feeling,   43   few people know about the way you feel.

All of us may   44   from depression and frustration, lose guidance and support, and thus need

  45  physically, or spiritually.

Just think like this way:   46   feelings I am feeling will eventually go away.

I need to stop feeling so sorry for myself and actually want to   47  . I am an incredibly lucky person who has come from a family   48   there is full of love and support.

I have to be the one to make the   49   to change my way of thinking.

All the good things and all the wonderful people in my life would pass eventually too.   50   I am feeling miserable, my life is still going on and I am missing out on   51   those precious moments.

We all have terrible things which happen to us and will   52   each of us differently.

The most important thing to remember is that our   53   aren’t what define us. What defines us is how we   54   what has happened to us and how we change the way we think about it.

We can either let it become us or we can use our newly-found   55   to change the little bit of world around us all.

There’s something much bigger than us and our problems. It is always   56   to remember that there is always someone who is in a   57   much worse than our own.

Nevertheless, I am well on the   58   to becoming the person I want to be and I have goals and expectations of myself. I am now   59   that my life has started.

It started years ago and it’s not   60   over yet. It’s happening right now. Yours is too.

Once a farmer lost his watch in his barn, in which lots of grain was kept. The watch,    61    was a gift from his father, was very important to him and he was determined to find it.

After searching the barn for a long time, however, he gave up and asked for help from a group of children who were playing nearby. He promised to give a great reward to    62    found the watch.

   63   (hear) this, the children hurried inside the barn immediately.    64    searched everywhere but still could not find the watch buried in the grain. The farmer was about to give up  65   a little boy went up to him and asked to be given    66   second chance.

The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why not? After all, this kid looks honest.”

So the farmer sent the little boy back into the barn. After a while the little boy came out   67   the watch in his hand! The farmer,    68    (surprise) but happy, asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.

The boy replied, “I did nothing but    69    (sit) quietly and listen for the sound of the watch.”

This shows us that sometimes a peaceful mind can think    70  (well) than an excited one.

Last month, I, as well as my parents, were invited to my uncle’s home in the United States. My uncle, moved to America when I was five, has been living there for nearly ten years. She met us in the airport. I was exciting when I set my foot on the land of America. In the followed days, we visited some places of interest and took photos in the front of the Statue of Liberty. We all enjoyed visiting the Museum of Natural History so it enriched our knowledge great. For me, this is one of the most rewarding trips which I have ever made in my life and I look forward to go there again.

Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream. Some mentioned the inspired Chinese Dream was put forward by President Xi .And others talked enthusiastically

about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future. I also talked about my own dream. I had always wanted to be a doctor. Not only can doctors save people’s life but also they are doing a respectable job. Doctors can also help people to live a better life without their professional knowledge. To realize my dream, I can try to work hard from now on. I must learn as much as I can get into a good medical college, where I can prepare myself adequate for the job of a doctor.

I believe hard work is that it takes to accomplish my goal.

 John promised his doctor he ________ not smoke, and he has never smoked ever since.

A. might        B. should             C. could        D. would

Thinking About Thinking

As a public school superintendent (督导), I believe the best way to prepare students for colleges and careers is to focus on providing instructional programs and opportunities that help them become good thinkers. To do this, teachers and actually everyone else in a community, should play a role as a “cognitive coach” to students, helping develop good thinkers among your youth.

The best way for you to become a cognitive coach is to seek out and engage school children and adolescents in meaningful conversations. The objective here is to get kids talking about what they think, how they feel, and what they believe whenever and wherever you may find them. It may be in a classroom. It may be at the grocery store. It may be at a basketball game. It doesn’t matter where as long as you engage students in a topical conversation and, hopefully even a debate. Mainly, you want to encourage students to voice their opinion about things. Get them to take a position on “this thing, or that thing” and ask them to support their position with evidence. Curiously enough, the simple process of engaging students in real life conversations and debates will serve to strengthen what they have learned in the classroom, and help them create their own knowledge about a subject or a topic.

Learning indicates that a student has been exposed to material, understands the material, and can recall the information. Knowledge, on the other hand, goes beyond recall and includes information processing, application to other situations, consideration of meaning, and contrasting with other concepts. Naturally, the topic of conversation you engage in with one of your learners will differ from student to student, and in the level of complexity based on child’s age and developmental level. Even a kindergartener has an opinion about things that are going on in his or her life. Engaging in conversation with any members of your learning community in ways that get at what they have learned and what they know will help them develop higher order reasoning skills.

A student’s synthetic thinking (综合思维) process occurs when a respected adult asks a question, particularly a question that requires reflection. I think all adults in a community have a responsibility to help children with this process, with the goal of producing independent thinkers.

24. According to the writer, what most helps develop students’ thinking?

   A. Enlarging one’s knowledge.                                 B. Learning from respected adults.

   C. Attending instructional programs.                 D. Making evidence-based arguments.

25. Which is the best question raised by a cognitive coach?

   A. What have you learnt recently?

   B. Will you pay by the credit card?

   C. Where are you going this weekend?

   D. How do you like this basketball team?

26. The writer mentions a kindergartener in Paragraph 3 in order to __________.

   A. emphasize the importance of being a good thinker

   B. suggest that education should start at an early age

   C. prove that even children have their own ways of thinking

   D. explain the necessity of choosing proper conversation topics.

27. What is the main purpose of the passage?

   A. To state an education idea.                   

B. To assess a teaching strategy.

   C. To introduce a learning method.           

D. To compare different education methods.

 —Who is to blame for the accident?

A. as told             B. as are told    C. as telling      D. as they told

Dear editor,

I am writing to you to talk about the heavy traffic. Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, I’d like to put forward some advices.

For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. For other, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, that can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is what the number of private cars should be put under the control. Meanwhile, buses should have its own special routes which cannot be using by other vehicles. Therefore, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.

I do hope my suggestions will be taken.

Yours,

Do people stop once they have achieved something? No! in life, we are always trying to do things better or having more of the same success.

Jane Fonda moved from being an Academy Award actress to a successful businesswoman. Her aerobics (有氧体操) workout videos have been sold around the world.. Athletes are constantly making greater and greater efforts to lower time for races; increase heights or distances.

The world of medicine has had its series of successes too. Christian Barnard performed several successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the ages, mankind has found treatment and cures for tuberculosis (肺结核) , cancer, and other diseases. A cure of AIDS might soon be discovered.

Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Turner at 54 is still singing with great energy and attracting sell-out crowds wherever she goes.

At work, we go all out for achievements too. Success may mean organizing a conference more effectively and efficiently each year. Sometimes, it is not a pat on the back or the promotion that makes it worthwhile. Often it is the inner thrill and satisfaction of achievement, no matter how small it may be.

Aiming for success doesn’t mean you are greedy or dissatisfied. It is all part of gaining new experiences and dimensions in life. It finally makes you a more interesting and useful person in society.

25. The author uses Jane Fonda as an example to show that ________.

   A. people need to stand out in more than one field

Everyone knows that fish is good for health.  16  But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.  17  This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.

   18   Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.   19  When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.

There are many common methods used to cook fish.   20   First, clean it and season it with 

your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 

minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.

A.      Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.
F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

 She has expressed her hope ______ the foreign students will spread the good will and sincerity of the Chinese people to other parts of the world.

A Race Against Death

It was a cold January in 1925 in North Alaska. The town was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.

On the 20th of that month, Dr. Welch   21   a Sick boy, Billy, and knew he had diphtheria, a deadly infectious (传染的) disease mainly affecting children. The children of Nome would be  22  if it struck the town. Dr. Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick.   23  , the closest supply was over 1, 000 miles away, in Anchorage.

How could the medicine get to Nome? The town`s   24   was already full of ice, so it couldn`t come by ship. Cars and horses couldn`t travel on the   25   roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didn`t exist yet.

  26  January 26, Billy and three other children had died. Twenty more were   27   . Nome`s town officials came up with a(n)  28  . They would have the medicine sent by   29   from Anchorage to Nenana. From there, dogsled (狗拉雪橇)drivers—known as “mushers”—would   30  it to Nome in a relay(接力).

Conditions were so bad that it was impossible for him to   36   the trail again. The only hope was Balto, Kaasen’s lead dog, Balto put his nose to the ground, 37   to find the smell of other dogs that had traveled on the trail. If Balto failed, it would mean disaster for Nome.
