A

This is a true story in Guyana. One day， a child took some silver paper from a cigarette box. He rolled it into a tiny ball and pushed it up his nose. He couldnt get it out again. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldnt get the paper out， either. A week later the paper was still in his nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.

So his mother took his child to the hospital. The doctor looked up his nose. She put a tiny steel rod （钢棒） into his nose and felt the paper. She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out.

The childs mother came home looking sad. She didnt want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly.

Next day， the childs mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child， so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes.

“Yes， I can see it，” May said. “It will be out soon！”

As she spoke， she shook black pepper on the childs nose. He gave a mighty （有力的） sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told her to take the boy to the sea for a swim. She said the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.

So the child didnt have to go to the hospital and have his nose cut.

As a child， I always wanted to be “important”. I wanted to do something great that the rest of the world would be surprised at. I wanted to make my parents feel proud of me. I wanted to be the center of attention and stand out in a crowd. Naturally， in order to make these dreams come true， I thought out all of the noble （高尚的） jobs such as doctor， lawyer， firefighter and so on. By the way， I was six at that time. Finally， after many years of research， I found that engineers were cool.

By the time I was eight， I had already planned my professional career （職业生涯）. I spent the next ten years trying to perfect my drawing skills through competitions and art classes. I enjoyed nearly every second of it. However， somewhere along the way my thought began to change. So much has changed.

Ive learned that life is about learning to accept yourself and let things flow in their most natural state. Success is about finding yourself and your own meaning in this world. I still want to make my parents feel proud of me， but Im more concerned about what I consider as important. I pay more attention to what I really want to do.

As an adult， Ive increasingly realized all the things to be afraid of in life. Ive realized my own limitations. Anyone with good reasoning skills soon begins to see the risk of looking for the “hard to reach” goal. It wasnt until I was twenty-two years old that I began to get in touch with my true self. As Albert Einstein said， “Once we accept our limitations， we go beyond them.” After accepting my true self， I can confidently take care of myself and find the way that is most suitable for me.

8. What has the author probably realized according to the text？

A. He had too high a goal.

B. He owned too many things.

C. He should accept his true self.

D. He should try hard to reach his goal.

A

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However， being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible， but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK， for example， is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt， it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps， but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem， too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However， a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue， encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags， for example.

But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate （联系） packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer（消费者） products， which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle， we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture， but we have a mountain to climb.

1. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to？

A. Using too much packaging.

B. Recycling too many wastes.

C. Having more material than needed.

D. Making more products than necessary.

2. What can we learn about recycling according to Paragraph 2？

A. It means burning packaging for energy.

B. It helps control the greenhouse effect.

C. It means stoping using plastic bags.

D. It helps supermarkets save money.

3. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3？

A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.

B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.

C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.

D. Other products are better packaged than food.

4. What does the last paragraph suggest？

A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.

B. Needless material is mostly recycled.

C. People like collecting recyclable waste.

D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.

B

The city of Rome has passed a new law to prevent cruelty to animals. All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.

This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.

“The civilization of a city can be measured by this， ” said Monica Carina， the councilor （議员） behind the new law.

Volunteer your time. One of the best ways to make a difference is to volunteer your time. Reach out to organizations in your community that do work for your cause， and ask how you can help.

Donate money or supplies.  If you cant afford to donate money to an organization that supports your cause， you may be able to donate other things they need， like clothing or canned food.

Reach out to family and friends. Tell your family and friends about your cause， and invite them to get involved. If they are interested， talk to them about your cause and what you have learned.

Promote your cause on social media. You can use social media to help keep your friends and followers informed about the causes you support.  Also， you can invite your friends to attend events or donate to fundraisers （筹款人） for your cause.

A. Take classes on issues related to your cause.

B. Join an organization that supports your cause.

C. They are driven by passion and a vision for a better future.

D. If you do volunteer work， invite them to volunteer with you.

E. Post useful articles and write about what you are doing to stay involved.

F. Most activists or charitable organizations need resources to do their work.

G. If you cant reach out to them in person， then try connecting people online.

The children were about to set out when Esquith got a note. He had a look at it and crumpled （揉） it up at once. He had worked for two months to get the kids ready for the trip. Their parents were supportive， and many of them were coming to the movies with their children. He couldnt believe the head of a school would make such a foolish decision.

Esquith stormed into the office， gave the crumpled note to the headmasters secretary， and asked her to tell the headmaster that he would stick to his opinion. Because of his behavior， he was told that afternoon that he had been suspended （停职） by the school board until the moral committee （道德委员会） could decide if he had the quality to be a good teacher.

He went home sadly and had the thought of never teaching again. He had spent much of his life planning to be a good teacher and now he had to consider the possibility that he might have to make a hard decision， like going to a law school.

Actually， this response is natural for many young teachers. In truth， for many of the new hands， the first goal is just to remain. They hope their lessons go smoothly and the clock runs quickly. For them， there is no more wonderful sound than the bells ringing at the end of the day. But they are more likely to move back when they have difficulties.

But Rafe Esquith was lucky. Before long， the committee put an end to the labor trouble. They made a judgment that a person who was devoted to children was no doubt fit for the post. So he returned to class happily and continued his career.

1. How did Esquith feel after reading the note？

A. Confident. B. Scared.

C. Angry. D. Excited.

2. What made Esquith think of changing his profession？

A. He wasnt willing to follow the rules.

B. He wasnt supported by parents.

C. He was too tired of teaching.

D. He was greatly disappointed.

3. What does the writer think of Esquiths idea of giving up teaching？

A. Surprising. B. Normal.

C. Unwise. D. Strange.

4. What can we learn from the committees judgment？

A. The headmaster lost his job.

B. Esquith was a teacher of good quality.

C. Esquith couldnt accept the judgment.

D. The committee didnt recognize Esquiths ability.

Does this situation seem familiar to you？ Your English is progressing well， the grammar is now familiar， the reading comprehension is no problem， you are communicating quite fluently.

First of all， remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So， the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.

The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com， which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis， you might still be frustrated by limited understanding.

Here is some of the advice I give my students.

Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

Keep cool when you do not understand—even if you continue not to understand for a long time.

Dont concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea.

This approach usually results in confusion. Translating leads to a kind of block in ones brain which sometimes doesnt allow us to understand anything at all！

By remaining calm， allowing yourself not to understand， and not to translate while listening， your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing： understanding English in English.

A. What should you do？

B. But listening is still a problem.

C. The next step is to find listening resources.

D. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

E. Secondly， most people repeat themselves constantly.

F. Do not translate everything into your native language.

G. This situation leads to less—not more—understanding.

When I was having lunch in a restaurant， I noticed a young man. Dressing in black， he was playing with a smart phone while eating. She smiled at everyone that walked by. All of a sudden， a boy ran into him， making some food dropping on his trousers， what I thought would make him annoyed with the boy. Instead， he laughs it off when the mother made the apology to him. “Never mind！” he said polite. Seeing this， I touched and appreciated the kindness he brought to the world. On the way out， I handed to him a Smile Card which said， “Best wish and good luck to you！”

The State Schools and Private Schools in the UK

英国的公立學学校与私立學学校

For many parents， one of the most important things is to ensure their children have good education.

Britains education system is well known around the world. Thousands of students come from overseas to be educated in the UK in many different places including private schools， tutorial colleges， and international schools.

Private schools like Harrow and Eton are expensive to get into. They are different from state schools.

There are two differences between a private school and a state school. The most important one is that parents have to pay fees to go to a private school. Whereas a state school is free of charge.

But the other difference is that private schools in this country are not obliged to follow the national state governed curriculum， or even to take the state examinations. So they have a much greater degree of freedom.

The pupils at private schools are treated just like pupils in every other school including the state schools in England. They are not pampered; very far from it， they are expected to behave well， to work hard; they are punished if they dont.

对许多家长而言，最重要的事情之一是确保他们的孩子受到良好的教育。

英国教育体系的知名度是众所周知的。每年数千名来自海外的学子在英国不同的地方接受教育，包括私立学校、辅导学院和国际学校。

像哈罗和伊顿这样的私立学校需要支付昂贵的学费才能进入，而且这两所私立学校与公立学校不同。

英国的公立學校和私立学校有两个不同点。首先，父母必须为孩子支付学费才能进入私立学校，而公立学校是免费的。

另一个不同是，私立学校没有义务遵循国家规定的教学课程，甚至不采用国家考试，因此，学校有更大的自由度。

英国私立学校的学生跟公立学校的学生都受到同等对待。他们不会享受任何宠爱，甚至人们期望他们表现得更好，更加努力。如果没有达到要求，他们会受到惩罚。

PS：美式英语中“public school”就是所谓的“公立学校”，绝大部分经费由政府补助。私立学校称为“private school”。
