【題目】Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.

"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.

Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:

It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐漸灌輸) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.

I genuinely love teenagers.

I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes(坑) on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.

Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.

【1】Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?

A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.

B. Because the writer was insincere.

C. Because the student was naughty.

D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.

【2】What do you think of the writer?

B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.

C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.

D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.

【4】We can infer from the text that _________.

A. the writer was also a good teacher in school

B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond

C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students

D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home

In recent years, more and more parents send their children to famous schools, thought it can ensure that their children can be admitted by better universities after graduation.

It is true that famous schools are furnishing with better teaching facilities. What's more, teachers are excellent, that come from all over the country and even abroad. They have the ability make classes more lively and interesting, so students will be able to accept knowledge better. Besides, not every student is fit to go to famous schools where there is a fierce competition among students. And students there have to work much harder than that in ordinary schools.

I suggest effective measures are taken to make sure all the schools provide equal good education. Only in this way can all the students have equal rights to receive quality education.

【題目】In many cases they have built their reputations over hundreds of years, and they have become names that millions of Chinese love, respect and most of all buy.

At least once a year, Meng Wei visits several shops in Beijing that specialize in traditional goods, longing to buy something for his family in Xi’an.

“It’s a routine I go through before I head home for big holidays such as the Spring Festival,” Meng says.

His shopping list includes Daoxiangcun pastries and Niulanshan Erguotou. “My mother has a sweet tooth and she always has a preference for Daoxiangcun, and my uncles love the kick of Erguotou,” Meng says.

A trust in quality and a desire for things of the past are among the reasons why many people buy these time-honored brands.

However, with such brands one characteristic stands out above all else: Their popularity has endured for years, decades and in many cases centuries. That popularity was evident in the attention the public gave to them in a survey（調(diào)查） of time-honored brands in Beijing last year, which drew more than 4 million respondents.

Yili, a century-old pastry brand, came out on top as the favorite. There are some old brands, too, that have been bywords for older generations, faded from view but then made spectacular comebacks.

One of these is Beibingyang (Arctic Ocean) a soft drink that was the first commercial beverage many Beijingers tasted. It disappeared from the market for 15 years but resurfaced in 2010. It again proved to be a hit, many people saying it took them back to the 1960s and 1970s, and was a natural reference point as older people started recounting childhood stories to their children.

"Such brands are the product of market competition and real quality," says Yin Jie, an official with a committee of experts charged with revitalizing Chinese time-honored brands. These brands are 230 years old on average, and some were highly popular back when the country enjoyed great prosperity（繁榮） hundreds of years ago, Yin says. "To this day what China contributes to these brands is certain rare natural ingredients(成分), and that keeps them going."

【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Big holidays.

B. Time-honored brands.

C. The respondents.

D. The older generations.

【2】What does Meng Wei usually do in the Spring Festivals?

A. He runs several shops selling traditional goods.

B. He shops traditional brands for his family.

C. He misses the things of the past very much.

D. He buys various sweeties and drinks.

【3】What can be learned about the time-honored brands?

A. They are not trusted in quality and competition.

B. Many disappeared and never made comebacks.

C. They enjoy a long time of popularity.

D. They are the childhood stories of the aged.

【4】What does Yin Jie think important in keeping time-honored brands going?

A. China’s prosperity.

B. Historic influence.

C. Certain rare natural ingredients.

D. Bywords for older generations.

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,

Li Hua
