We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four．Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner．I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang．Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom．
The guests arrived．I introduced my two daughters to each of them．The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids．
Each of the guests paid too much attention to Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile．They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age．
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt．We do it with the best of intention（意图）．
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child．I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined （使逊色）．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes．I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying．
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and held her in arms to make her feel better．
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point(特意做某事) to speak to the elder child first．
1.The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____．
A．young age B．lovely smile
C．pretty clothes D．beautiful hair

D．she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly
3.From this experience ,the writer changed the way of ____．

I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法院）.
After the accident , my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was amazed. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my accident, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to refuse his help. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience（缺少经验）, I told the insurance（保险） company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent.

Does your school have any problems with discipline(纪律)? What happens when students step out of line?
Here are some examples of bad behaviour:
• Playing truant(逃学) (missing school without permission from parents).
• Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing, running, kissing.
• Cheating on exams.
• Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.
• Not doing homework.
• Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.
• Wearing unsuitable clothes.
Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:
• Exclusion（开除）: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.
• Suspension（停课）: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.
• Detention（拘留）: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.
• Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”
Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, _________when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.
Freya says that repeated detentions ruined her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. So she refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.
Many UK schools now give parents a home&school contract（契约，合同）, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.
1.The expression “step out of line” in Paragraph 1 probably means________
A. jump the queue B. break the discipline
C. be later for school D. fight with others.
2.What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To list common bad behavior in UK schools.
B. To show how UK schools deal with students’ parents.
C. To find out why more and more pupils break rules in UK schools.
D. To introduce how UK schools punish students with their discipline.
3.Which expression can be filled in the blank in the passage________.
A. covered the story
B. corrected her behavior
C. showed an interest
D. made the news
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Punishments in UK School
B. What is Bad Behavior?
C.UK School Discipline.
D. Too Many School Rules in the UK

Which part of the world has the most nearsighted students? Just look around you–it’s East Asia. Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight.
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.
According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsighted–only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore.
“Children in East Asia basically go to school... go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.
But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. “As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of massive (巨大的) educational pressures and the construction (构成) of a child’s day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.”
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.
1.Which of the word has the similar meaning as the underlined phrase “nine in ten”?
A. many B. few C. some D. most
2.What is the main reason for the large number of nearsighted students in East Asia, according to scientists?
A. Too much reading or gaming. B. Lack（缺少）of sunlight.
C. Genetic reasons. D. Lack of exercise.
3.What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A. Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape.
B. Dopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly.
C. Spending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body.
D. The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has.
4.According to Morgan, what kind of people are most likely to suffer from nearsightedness?
A. Those who like watching TV.
B. Those who take exercise regularly.
C. Those who study hard and play hard outdoors.
D. Those who stay indoors studying all day

When I was a little child ，my parents took me to German. 1. .When I came back, I could speak German fluently. “ Can I do something useful with German?” I asked myself.

One day in May, the weather was beautiful. 3. .Those 4,000 words were still waiting for me. After translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn’t make myself turn the pages. 4.
I counted (数)the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting in my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard ,and you will do well!” But then the other one said, “Go and play! It will be more interesting than translating. Do your homework tomorrow.”
I stood up and would turn off the computer. But then I remembered what my parents had told me, “ Whatever(无论什么) you do, don’t stop half way.” 5. .
A. My father brought me a German book
B. So I sat down and went on with it
C. But I couldn’t go out
