【題目】
There was a story many years ago of a school teacher— Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn't play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother's perfume (香水).
Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy's mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed “Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D. (醫(yī)學博士)”.
The story doesn't end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference. "
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you. "
【1】 In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?
A. She taught fewer school subjects.
B. She became stricter with her students.

【2】 Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?

【題目】In American high schools, there is a tradition for each year's graduating class( called the seniors) to play a joke on the school—the Senior Prank(畢業(yè)惡作劇).
This usually happens at the end of the school year just before the seniors graduate from the school. It is an unofficial tradition. Al-though the schools don't encourage it, each year the seniors try to make their pranks the most original so that their class will be remembered in the years to come. The joke is supposed to be light-hearted(無傷大雅的)and must not do major damage to the school property .
The best prank at my high school was done several years ago. A flower called the golden poppy(金罌粟花)is the state flower of California ; the state law states that no one can cut them down once they are planted.
The seniors at my school took advantage of the law. They planted golden poppies all over the football field one night, spelling out their graduation year with the flowers ! Since the school couldn't break the law to cut down the poppies, they had to wait until the flowers died.
The greatest prank that I've ever heard was done by one of my history teachers when he was in high school. He and some of his close friends went fishing in hopes of catching big fish for their prank. They were lucky and caught a three-foot shark.
My teacher and his friends took the shark to the school at night and dumped it into the swimming pool. The next morning when students went swimming, they found a dead shark in their pool. The chlorine(氯)in the water had killed the shark ! My history teacher always regretted that his school had put so much chlorine in the pool, or it would have been more fun if the shark was still alive the next day.
The schools won't take it seriously if the pranks don't cause too much damage. But, sometimes the school will punish the seniors for going too far with their prank. My teacher's “Shark Prank “is an example of a prank gone too far. The school had to drain (排水)the pool and have it cleaned before filling it up again, which had cost the school several thousand dollars.
【1】 The underlined word “property “means _________.
A. 資產(chǎn) B. 性質(zhì) C. 道具 D. 所有權(quán)
【2】 The author implies (暗示)_________.
A. the schools encourage the seniors to play the prank
B. his history teacher was punished by the school
C. the law of California doesn't allow planting the golden poppy in the campus
D. after finding a shark in the swimming pool, the school killed it with the chlorine
【3】 We can infer(推斷)from the passage that _________.
A. the “Golden Poppy Prank “is successful and well-meaning
B. the Senior Prank is an unofficial tradition
C. the school had to cut down the golden poppies at last
D. the golden poppy is the state flower of California
【4】 Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Only the graduating class can play the Senior Prank.
B. The schools don't encourage the Senior Prank.
C. The “Golden Poppy Prank " cost the school a lot of money.
D. The “Shark Prank “is beyond the general pranks.

【題目】Now 23,Ye Dong got his diploma in June 2010. But he has barely left the campus. He still eats in the canteens and studies in the classrooms. Living close is convenient and familiar, he said.
Around almost every college and university in China are cheap apartments and bungalows for rent, where lots of graduates like Ye live. They live and look like enrolled students, but they aren't. Such kind of graduates is called “school-drifters “. It became a popular search keyword and triggered wide media coverage and further academic research.
“The number is increasing over the years. A simple reason is that each year the number of graduates rises, while the employment rate remains basically the same. A large portion of the unemployed become school-drifters. Some previously employed also come back after a short, unsatisfying work experience.”according to Hu Jiewang, a sociology professor at Jiaying University in Guangdong province.
Ye landed a job as a production assistant in a local jewelry company in March last year but quit two months later. " The 2,400-yuan($360) a month salary was high among my classmates, but the job was too tiring. I had only one day off every week and the working hours were too irregular, “he said.” Entering society made me feel hollow. "
Hu said most of the school-drifters aim to enter grad school. Some hope to find a better job ; some want to stay in big cities ; and some are simply fearful of the intensely competitive job market.
" Living on school resources " ,Hu said, " is a way of cutting living costs. But they do have some resource conflict with currently enrolled students”.
Why don't drifters return home? " From ancient times the Chinese have had the notion that ‘ going out’ and ‘ going to colleges' were good. Anybody coming back home without achievements is a loser, “Hu said.
After graduation and entering society, many graduates felt lost. As a result, the number who stayed in school——for further education, for better opportunities, or for the comfort——increased.
【1】 " School-drifters” are a group of university students who _________.
A. have dropped out but wouldn't leave the campus
B. have finished school but wouldn't leave the campus
C. have finished school but haven't got their diplomas
D. haven't passed their Graduation Exams
【2】 Why did Ye abandon his job in a local jewelry company?
A. He was too lazy.
B. He wasn't pleased with the job.
C. The salary was low.
D. The jewelry company was very good.
【3】 As " school-drifters " ,they can _________.
A. reduce their expenses B. make more friends
C. decrease pressures D. make more money
【4】 The passage is mainly about _________.
A. a new social phenomenon
B. an event taking place in the campus
C. how to deal with “school-drifters”
D. “school-drifters “are hated by people

【題目】They tell us when to get up or when we’re running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite TV programme. But while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms---the human body’s own internal clock---have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.
In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.
The latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to fib(撒小謊) in the afternoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies---especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.
“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. That’s because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure we get home safely. When our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”
So what effects do circadian rhythms have and what’s the best time of day to take advantage of them?
The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .
A. our clocksB. scientists and experts
C. our daily routinesD. circadian rhythms
