M：I can't remember when the last time I worked out is．And I always hurry on with my bus in the morning．I have no time for doing it． W：Oh, you should take exercise regularly and should have a well-balanced diet．I know you always go to bed after midnight, even more late．This is not a good habit． M：You look like my old maidservant at this time． W：No, I talk to you because I know that having a strong constitution is an important condition that you can compete with others in you work． M：Ok, let's go on．I don't want to sit here and listen to your lengthy speech． W：Hey, come on．I just can't stand your life style．Working out for an hour every day is good for your health． Conversation 2 M：Is this your umbrella, Miss? W：Oh, yes, it is．Thank you．I was looking for it just now． M：You look a bit familiar to me．I wonder if I have seen you somewhere before． W：Have you? M：May I ask where you live? W：Just two blocks away, in that tall building． M：That's it．I live there too．I live on the sixth floor． W：My family moved in just two weeks ago．We live on the fourth floor． M：It's a small world．May I know your name? W：I'm Chen Hong． M：How do you do, Miss Chen?I'm Xiao Wei． W：I'm glad to know you, Mr．Xiao． M：Are you going to your office now, Miss Chen? W：No, I'm going to do some shopping for the weekend．What about you? M：I'm going to the airport to meet some friends from Beijing． W：See you later, Mr．Xiao． M：Have a good day, Miss Chen． W：You too． Conversation 3 M： Amazing!Look at this news． W：Wow, one of the biggest diamonds was found in South Africa． M：Yes, the weight is 507.55 carat, and it's a white one． W：The impurity content is very low．Wonderful! M：Look, with the biggest one, some smaller diamonds were found．There are 168 carat, 58,5 carat, and 53.3 carat． W：Wow, anyone of them is big enough．But what I want to know is that how they are going to deal with these diamonds． M：I remember hundreds of years ago, there was another big diamond found in South Africa, but because South Africa was one of the colonies of Britain．The diamond was finally set in the crown of British Queen． W：Which king is going to have this one? M：I believe none．The financial crisis and the recovery of the economic are the reasons． W：Yes, but I still believe it would be made as a very wonderful work． Conversation 4 M：I just don't know what's wrong with my son．He always feels tired and weak．We come here to visit you to find out what the trouble is． W：From what is written here I can see that your son had a very bad cold two years ago and had a small operation last year．Did he have any effects after that? M：I can't really remember． W：For example, how long did he stay at home each time he was ill? M：Just a few days, but about three months ago he was home for about a week with a cold． W：Did he see a doctor at that time? M：No, he didn't see a doctor．When he began to feel better, he returned to school． W：And when did he start feeling so tired? M：It must have been about a couple of days ago．When he came back from school one day, there just didn't seem to be any reason to go back the next day． W：Well, it sounds as if his problem may be his schoolwork．The tests I just made don't show anything really wrong．I would like to make some further tests． M：That's fine with us． Conversation 5 W：Hi Henry, it's been a long time since we saw each other last．What have you been up to? M：Hi Penny!It's great to see you again．I've been away on business． W：Really, where did you go? M：Well, first I flew to New York for two meetings．After that, I flew to Atlanta, where I had to make a presentation at a company conference． W：It sounds like you've been busy． M：Yes, I've been very busy．It's good to be home again．What have you been doing lately? W：I have been away for the past two weeks visiting my relatives in Chicago． M：I didn't know you have family in Chicago． W：Yes, that's right．I was born in Chicago and lived there until I went to college． M：How long have you lived here in Colorado? W：I've lived here for over 10 years．I moved here in 1998 because I had a new job as a sales representative． M：Have you lived in the same house since you arrived? W：No, first I lived in an apartment in downtown Denver．I moved here four years ago．I've lived on the street for four years and they've been the happiest years of my life． M：Yes, my wife Jane and I love this neighborhood． W：And how long have you lived in your house? M：We've only lived here for two years． W：That's strange．It seems like you have lived here longer than that． M：No, we moved here in 2006． W：How time flies! M：I have to agree with you on that．It seems like yesterday that I graduated from college．I can't believe I've been working for more than 10 years! W：I've been working for more than 30 years!I'm going to retire soon． M：Really?You don't look a day over 40! W：Thank you．You're a great neighbor! M：Not really．Well, I have to get going．Work is waiting for me．Have a good day． W：You, too．Glad to have you back in the neighbor! Conversation 6 W：Bob, do you know who I saw the other day?Old Jake is looking terribly sad．Did he get pensioned off at last? M：Yes．They made him retire after 50 years at sea．He is pretty upset about it． W：He is all alone, isn't he? M：Yes, his wife has been dead for years．They had one daughter, Dories．But she went off to town as soon as she left school．And he hasn't heard from her since．I hear she is making good money as a model． W：Maybe someone could get in touch with her．Get her to come back for a while to help? M：I don't suppose she'll come．She never got on with her father．He is a bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish．Oh, I expect old Jake will get by．He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly． W：Are you his doctor? M：No, my partner doctor Johnson is． W：That bad-tempered old thing? M：Oh, he isn't bad-tempered．He just looks it．He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family．His wife invites me over there to supper every week．Very pleasant． W：Yes．I teach their daughter Pen at school．She is a bit careless and lazy about her school work, but a bright little thing and very popular with her age group． Conversation 7 Students' pressure sometimes comes from their parents．Most parents are well-meaning, but some of them aren't very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in adjusting to high school．And a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children's difficulties．For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face．They don't realize that the competition is keener, that the required standards of work are higher, and that their children may not be prepared for the change．Accustomed to seeing As and Bs on primary school report cards, they may be upset when their children's first semester high school grades are below that level．They may ask why John or Mary isn't doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on．Sometimes parents regard their children as extensions of themselves and think it only right and natural that they determine what their children do with their lives．In their involvement and identification with their children, they forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way．They forget that their children, who are now young adults, must be the ones responsible for what they do and what they are． |

Pressure too much?
In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(鐵飯碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.
People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.
But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.
Work should be
a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.
If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.
【小題1】Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.
| A．they will lose their jobs |
| B．most of them find less interest in their work |
| C．they can make more money after work. |
| D．they want to stay at home. |
| A．Where there is work there is pressure. |
| B．Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden. |
| C．All modern men are worried and low in spirit. |
| D．A certain amount of pressure is necessary. |
| A．we should drink coffee with our friends |
B． we can get help and comfort from our friends or families. |
| C．we can go home because it is warm |
| D．to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way. |

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2013屆浙江省慈溪中學(xué)高三第一次月考英語(yǔ)試題（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解
It’s 10:30 p.m. and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “ R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “ If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told TFK.
Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room. With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That’s about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“ These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it’s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “ If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “ It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “ You’ve got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.
Logan Jones, 11, of Maumelle, Arkansas, describes himself as a “game freak”. Still, he is glad not to have unlimited time with his PlayStation 2. “I’ll tell my mom I’m going to play a game, and she’ll say, ‘Okay, but only for 30 minutes,’”, Logan told TFK.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. “ Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “:But parents might have to step in sometimes.”
【小題1】The text is mainly about kids’ _________
| A．cell phone use | B．various hobbies |
| C．favorite video games | D．using electronic devices |
| A．Brandon feels annoyed about his late-night message. |
| B．Olson is against teenagers’ using mobile phones. |
| C．many teenagers lack friends in their middle school |
| D．kids have too many electronic devices to choose from |
| A．Watching TV while using the computer |
| B．Talking on the phone while lying on the sofa. |
| C．Playing video games after having lunch. |
| D．Listening to loud music while relaxing. |
| A．in order | B．in store | C．in sight | D．in control |
| A．do homework while watching TV |
| B．do homework in a place without disturbance |
| C．spend more time on homework |
| D．have less homework |

Editor’s notes: AWL is well known for its dictionaries and English language teaching materials． Some readers have written in to ask us for the latest information on high quality books on English, so here we introduce two texts that aim to improve spoken English fluency．
Let’s speak （Beginner)
By Bev Dusuya, Naoko Ozeki and Kevin Bergman
ISBN: 962001359X
Speak Up（Pre-Intermediate)
By Bev Kusuya, Nako Zeki
ISBN: 0583338050
“Teach the students about your culture and help them talk about their own．” How often are these worthy goals kept from being achieved by the limitations of your beginner level learners? Students at all levels want to talk about culture．
Topics include food, shopping, sports, fashion, the roles of men and women, health, music, and many more．
These are all chosen from surveys of over 15,000 students about their own interests in cross-cultural communication．
“Let’s Speak” and “Speak Up” share a special but excellent way that allows all students to take part in．
The series has questions which start thinking and then help collect opinions about personal topics． Conversation practice is provided by ready to use （現(xiàn)成的)models of basic exchanges on the topic． Also, the cultural information presented in the series comes in the form of interesting, relevant（相關(guān)的）facts and ideas from other countries through listening tasks and Culture Quiz exercises．
Team activities in books provide lively problem solving games to enable sharing and comparison of cultural values．
“Let’s Speak” is fit for entry level students of all ages． “Speak Up” provides for the needs of higher level beginners, offering the same careful listening and speaking help, but with slightly more open ended discussion．
