Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cochran, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School, did something unforgettable. On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.

The kids came into the first period. They walked in, and there were no desks. They looked around and said, "Ms Cochran, where are our desks?" And she said, “You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.”

They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades.”

"No," she said.

"Maybe it's our behavior."

And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior."

Second period, the same thing. Third period... By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochran’s class to find out about this crazy teacher.

The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom." she said, "Now I'm going to tell you."

Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And when they finished placing those desks, those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks.

Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it!"

1.Why did Cochran take all the desks out of the classroom?

A. Because she wanted to punish the kids.

B. Because she wanted to let kids know how they earned the desks.

C. Because kids didn't need any desks at her classes.

D. Because the desks were all broken.

2.Who get kids to have a chance to get education?

A. Teachers. B. The headmaster.

C. Kids themselves. D. Kids’ parents.

3.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?

A. Kids finally understood what their teacher meant by themselves.

B. The headmaster supported Ms. Cochran’s idea.

C. Kids studied without desks on the first day.

D. Kids' parents earned the desks for them.

 

1.B

2.D

3.A

【解析】

試題分析：學(xué)校開學(xué)的第一天，經(jīng)過校長的同意，老師Martha Cochran把教室里的課桌全部移到了教室外。通過這件事，老師想讓孩子們認(rèn)識到來之不易的教育機(jī)會是父母創(chuàng)造的，應(yīng)該好好珍惜難得的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會并好好學(xué)習(xí)。

1.“You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.””可知，Cochran把所有的課桌移出教室的原因是，她想讓孩子們知道他們是怎樣獲得課桌的，這里指怎樣獲得上學(xué)的機(jī)會，故選B。

2.who were fathers or mothers of the kids...each one having a school desk”和最后一段“They did it for you. They put them out there for you...because they paid a price for you to have that desk”可知，是孩子們的父母為孩子們提供了學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會，讓孩子們得到了學(xué)習(xí)用的課桌，故選D。

3."Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom." she said, "Now I'm going to tell you."”可知，沒有孩子真正理解他們是如何得到課桌的，是老師告訴了孩子們原因，A項是錯誤的，故選A。

Society is a web of relationships, requiring all parties to work together to create something good. What makes society work best are effective relationships that are based on mutual(相互的) understanding. If you understand what people want and why they want it, you can usually find a way to make progress together.

High-quality relationships make people happy. Some people living in the poorest communities have almost nothing but turn out to be the happiest because they share a life, together. If effective relationships are working, happiness is always possible.

Here are some simple tips for building effective relationships.

Listen to and try to understand others' positions and feelings. Listening in itself can lead to understanding, and if you understand someone else fully, then you know how to work better with him or her.

Openly express your needs and feeling. Sometimes we expect people particularly those close to us at home or work to understand what we want and to give us what we need intuitively (憑直覺地). However, people are so complicated and so different that even when they have lived together for 60 years, they can still surprise each other. So we need to say what we need and to express how we feel.

In order to make our relationships more effective, we should treat ourselves and other people with respect. Respect is one of the most important elements of any good relationship.

Finally, learn to face differences in a correct way. Learning this takes time and can be uncomfortable. However, if we can try to remove differences in an effective way, we are more likely to build exciting and satisfying relationships with others.

By doing these things you may discover that the happiness you long for is much closer than you thought.

Over 500 dogs being delivered to a butcher house were saved by a Chinese animal protection organization.

The incident then triggered debate among Chinese netizens about the necessity of pouring so much money and efforts into saving dogs.

On Friday, a truck loaded with over 500 dogs were stopped by volunteers from animal protection organization on Jingha Expressway Beijing section.

Beijing Times reported these dogs were being delivered to slaughter houses in the city of Changchun, northeast Jilin Province and would be eventually served on dinner tables.

After negotiations with the truck driver, pet service provider Leepet Holding Corp.and a philanthropic foundation, Shang shan Foundation purchased these dogs, each paying 50,000 yuan. Dogs were then delivered to the headquarter of China Small Animal Protection Association (CSAPA), being taken care of and waiting for adoption.

After the “dog saving mission” was reported, Chinese net users debate over whether saving dogs worth so much efforts and money while there are still many poor and needy people in China lacking assistance.

Some net users argue the “dog saving mission” is placing overt attention to animals while lots of needy people are still left unattended.

A microblogger “Xiaowulaitajie” said on China's twitter­ like website, weibo.com, “Dogs are saved, adopted and they attracted media spotlight. We'd better spend such money and take such efforts in helping the needy people.”

Another microblogger, Liluping, said “We poured such huge sum of money into saving dogs. I would rather the money be spent on disaster relief.”

Some applaud volunteers' actions and show eagerness of offering their helping hands to those saved dogs.

Still many disapprove those “saving dogs” critics, but they argue that such act nonetheless promotes social progress.

A microblogger named “broken bridge” said, saving dogs does not run counter to taking care of people. Such enthusiasm in public affairs will help raise social awareness in helping the needy.

I think people and animals are created equal. Attention should be paid to people as well as animals.

1..Where did the article come from?

A. A storybook. B. A novel.

C. Internet. D. A magazine.

2..Which one has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase “run counter to” in the last but one paragraph？

A. meet with B. go against

C. agree with D. come across

3..Whose opinion is closest to the writer's?

A. Some net users'. B. Broken bridge's.

C. Liluping's. D. Xiaowulaitajie's.

4..The following statements are TRUE except _______.

A. All the people don't think it right to save these dogs with so much money.

B. More than 25,000,000 yuan was given to the truck driver to purchase these dogs.

C. These dogs were finally saved and sent back to their owners.

D. Some people think it better to spend the money in helping the needy people

Three months after the government stopped issuing(發(fā)放) or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security (安全) concerns, some café owners are having financial(經(jīng)濟(jì)的) concerns of their own.

The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the . government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhigh­way, but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.

“I handed in a request to open up an Internet cafe and received the conditions. ” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45, 000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SRI 00,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes. ”

Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop with­out coffee. "I’m avoiding closing the place, but it's been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is,” Obeidallah said “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”

The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet ca­fe, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.

“I did all that was asked and rented a place . And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me , saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can't even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80,000, "Al-Harbi added.

As for the government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way, but security concerns come before profit (盈利).

1.The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes ____

A. to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes.

B. to make cafe owners earn less profit from their business.

C. to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet.

D. to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway.

2.The government’s decision led to the fact that many cafe owners ____.

A. suffered heavy financial losses

B. asked to open up Internet cafes

C. continued to operate Internal cafes

D. asked the government for payment.

3.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means ____.

A. to be studied

B. to be put into practice.

C. to be changed

D. to be improved

4.The cafe owners found the governments decision ____.

A. surprising and unacceptable

B. understandable and acceptable

C. reasonable but surprising

D. surprising but acceptable
