If he/she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts，listen to him/herIf he/she doesnt accept late homework, do yours on time. Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly, but most teachers do know whats necessary to make things run smoothly and what it takes to let the learning begin. And the better the learning environment is, the smarter youll be!Expect him/her to like youTeachers are teachers because they like kids. Given the chance, most teachers want to be your friends too. Respect your teacher, but dont be afraid of him/her. He/She wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have!Put first things firstFriends are a fun part of school.

Gifts are easytheyre given after all. Choices can be hard. I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor. Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “ That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately (最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.25.

We can know from the passage that _.Athe boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorBthe author wanted someone else to try the ideaCthe author might not regret if he failed the ideaDthe author might go back to his boss if he failed28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ACleverness and Kindness BThe Starting of AmazonCFollowing My PassionDWe Are What We ChooseCThe best Mothers Day gift I ever received was a magnolia(木兰)tree. At first, it was a tired little thing, but it was mine, and I know I would treasure it. Magnolia trees were my mothers favorite. We had one in the front yard of our house when I was growing up. I can still remember Moms pleasure upon seeing the buds. “Oh, look,” shed cry out every year, “ the magnolia tree is going to bloom(开花)just in time for my birthday.” And sure enough, on April 19, her birthday, the graceful pink-and-white flowers would be all over the branches, announcing the arrival of spring. Back then, I didnt find the blooming of a tree to be an event worthy of celebration. A new toy, a pretty dress or a trip to the amusement parkthose were exciting. But my mother had a way of appreciating the smallest things as wonders. A babys smile, or a call from an old friend filled her with happiness. On the first Mothers Day following her death six years ago, I wasnt sure how Id live. Reminders of my mothers absence seemed to be everywhere. That Sunday morning I awoke to a quiet house, with warm sun streaming through the windows. I wondered where my husband had gone with our two daughters, Kira,4, and Sophie, 9 months. As I was relaxing in bed, enjoying the peace, Kira suddenly burst through the bedroom door. “Look outside, Mommy!” she ordered. There, in the yard, David was digging a hole. Next to him was a little tree whose roots were wrapped. “Its a magnolia tree,” Kira said, though I didnt need to be told. I raised the window and called out to David. “Happy Mothers Day!” he said. Although I didnt have my mother any longer, I had her tree, and each year since, Ive had her enthusiasm(激情). Now when we pull up to our house on a bright spring day, I say to my daughters, “Oh look! The magnolias about to bloom.” And when it does, we admire its beauty and use it as a chance to talk about my mother and her love for flowers. These moments help keep her spirit alive. 29.

DOctober 15th is Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food. Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-private Partnership for handwashing with soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soaps arc equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (细茵). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, wash well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth. The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again. It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half. 32. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A. To keep healthy by washing hands. B. To wash hands with soap. C. To take action to wash hands. D. To wash hands often.33. Which of the following is the right way to wash hands? a. Washing hands well under running water. b. Covering hands with soap. c. Drying hands. d. Rubbing hands with soap.e. Wetting hands.A. a-c-b-e-d B. e-d-a-b-c C. a-c-b-d-e D. e-b-d-a-c34. Which fact cant explain why soap is important?A. It gives people a longer handwashing time. B. It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands. C. Its smell attracts people to do more handwashing. D. It gets all people into the habit of washing hands. 35. According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that _. A. kills half of the kids in the developing countries a year B. causes the greatest number of child deaths C. can be reduced to some degree by washing hands with soap D. cant be cured without washing hands 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满10分） One of the best ways to change your looks and improve your health is to lose excessive weight.
