My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” Or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or we are uncertain, but we all, my friends I, consider this .

We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness nonsense（胡鬧）. As an old saying : “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say about Beckham’s good looks.

If we close our eyes, in deep thought, we can find that the things us to be in truth happy, sad or moved a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial（表面的）things, we will find that we have not really gained anything our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant（愚昧無知的） we realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great . If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible (明智的), mature, and intelligent we have .

At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence(獨(dú)立性) is learned from childhood.

From an early age, American children learn responsibility（責(zé)任感）. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.

Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little guidance（指導(dǎo)） from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by doing extra chores.

Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. They are allowed to make some decisions—and make mistakes. Failure（失�。﹐ften teaches more than success.

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（強(qiáng)調(diào)） the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating（欺騙） themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously（認(rèn)真地） about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued（繼續(xù)） to believe that I had cheated on the test.

A. in the teacher’s office B. in an exam room

3.The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____ .

A. to go on writing his paper

B. to stop whispering

C. to leave the room immediately

D. to stay behind after the exam

A. the moment he was asked to stay behind

B. when the teacher started talking about honesty

C. when he was walking out of the room

D. only some time later

Last week, I bought an alarm system for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three small units. I put the control unit in the sitting-room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our telephone number.

Now I will explain how the alarm works:

1. There is a power siren in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.

2. Each of the small units sends out beams or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise which you can hear 50 meters away.

3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work. That night I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar could get into our house. However, at about 2:10 a. m. , I woke up and heard the siren.

"There must be a burglar in the house?" Mary said, "What shall we do?"

"I'll go and see who's there," I said, "Stay here. Don't make a noise. "

I went down stairs quietly. When I reached the living-room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, re-set the alarm and went back to bed.

About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. "Hey! Wait a minute!" I whispered, "It's only me. I'm going downstairs to see what's wrong."

I went down into the living-room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I tamed on the light and switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (a kind of small animals)(壁虎) disappear behind the curtains.

"Oh!" I said to myself. "That's our burglar.”

When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards.

Well, I won't finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. I'll send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar(強(qiáng)盜).

任務(wù)型閱讀（共10小題，每小題1分，共10分）

請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~（每空1詞）。

I used to be the messiest person alive．Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them．

Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen．Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done．

Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans．

You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on．Therefore, different ways are needed at hand．It’s just a matter of being organized．Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will．

Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary．It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done．

If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself．

Don’t try to tackle more things all at a time．All that does can delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy．

Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible．You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time．

Last but not least, you should never abandon things mid-project．It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself．Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money．

So, don’t be afraid of organization．The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way．It pays to be organized, after all．
