It was one of the happiest times of my life. I was 29 and had just received my bachelor’s degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother. My parents and five-year-old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma. I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family’s well-being.

But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope. It basically said he had come to get his clothes and wouldn’t be back. We’d been having trouble, but the finality of that note still came as a shock. He had emptied our bank account. We were horribly in debt. I had quit my previous jobs in expectation of interviewing for a teaching position. Plus, I was eight months pregnant.

I had my son, and I was about to bring a new life into the world, so despite my deep sadness, I had to go on. The next morning, I woke up, put my feet on the floor, took a deep breath, fixed breakfast, and basically did everything I always did. I used my routine to keep me moving. After being in the military for six years, I guess you can say I relied on my training, like all good soldiers do in tough situations. One small step after one small step was the way I bounced back(恢复原状).

And in the seven years since, I’ve continued moving forward. I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master’s degree in education, and watched my babies grow to twelve and seven. I certainly would never have chosen to put them through this, but looking back, I’m glad it happened to me when it did. It helped me find my voice and myself a lot sooner. It helped me grow independent, confident, and strong—things I’m hopefully instilling(灌输) now in my children.

1.After getting her bachelor’s degree, the author expected to ________.

A. become a teacher     B. be a wife and mother 

C. work two jobs       D. get divorced

2.What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?

A. Her husband wrote a note to congratulate her on her graduation.

B. She had just been to a job interview when her husband left her.

C. Her husband paid off all the debts from the bank.

D. She was going to have another baby soon.

3.The author’s hardships in life made her ________.

A. become confident and independent

B. work harder in the kindergarten

C. use her routine to move forward

D. feel pleased with what happened to her

4. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. The author’s parents helped her a lot

B. The author received further education later

C. The author earned a master’s degree when she was 29

D. The author didn’t know how to deal with marriage

5.What helped the author to pull through her hard time?

A. The divorce with her husband.

B. Her fellow soldiers in the army.

C. Her decision to find a new job.

D. A strong mind and love for her kids.

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised (组成) mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened(负担过重的)urban school administrators and teachers.

Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.

One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.

Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.

1. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.

A. the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties

B. many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities

C. there is a serious shortage of academic facilities (设施).

D. homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education

2. The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.

A. 350,000

B. 1,500,000

C. 440,000

D. 110,000

3.  One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.

A. the homeless children are too young to be counted as children

B. the homeless population is growing rapidly

C. the homeless children usually stay outside school

D. some homeless children are deserted by their families

4. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.

A. the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized

B. the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine

C. the address of grade-school children should be located

D. all homeless people are entitled(有权利的) to free education

5. The passage mainly deals with ____.

A. the legal problems of the homeless children

B. the educational problems of homeless children

C. the social status of older males

D. estimates on the homeless population

If your recurring(经常性的)dreams are worrying you,you can rest assured and needn’t worry.Psychologists say in the vast majority of these cases,this is just the mind’s way of dealing with stress and conflicts,problems and concerns.It’s a good thing.

They call be surprisingly vivid and real,or fragmented and weird.They can be comforting or frightening.Our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking.Dreams give us an x-ray of our unconsciousness(潜意识).They tell us,particularly when we are at life’s passages or turning points.

Lisa Oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city.It’s always just a feeling of needing to stay safe.Experts say disturbing dreams often occur around major life events.For Lisa,it was moving.For others,it can be marriage or divorce,the death of a loved one or pressure at work.

Doctor Siegel has studied the meaning of dream for nearly 30 years.He believes stressful or upsetting dreams can be a sign of what’s buried deep inside our minds.

He said.“Dreams are important to survival.They are crucial to the balance of our psyche(心灵).They help us work out problems that we’re having every single day.They go to the cutting edge of what’s stressful,what’s bothering us and what we’re working out in our lives.Dreams can guide us and in order to find that guidance,to find that deep source of wisdom that’s in our dreams every night,we need to pay attention to our dreams.”

But many dreams are scary and horrible.How can we understand these nightmares? Doctor Siegel says they are reflecting especially intense emotion or unresolved conflict.The stronger the emotion in the dream,whether it’s pleasure or fear,the likelier the dream is to be important.

Knowing what your recurring dreams or nightmares mean can be liberating.Some nightmares can be a sign of serious psychological problems,such as post-dramatic stress disorder.If they are extremely disturbing or violent or the cause of severe anxiety,you should see a professional therapist(治疗专家).

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

The ultimate (最终的) goal of life is to achieve happiness, and the way to achieve happiness is to wise management. So says The Sims (模拟人生),an American strategic life-simulation computer game that lets you create, direct, and manage the lives of SimCity’s residents.

Similar to the life of a real person, the game begins with the creation of your simulated(模拟的)people: pick a name and a gender, decide on personality/astrological sign (星座), and then choose a look from a variety of heads, bodies, and skin tones. Each little Sim person has all basic needs (Hunger, Comfort, Fun, etc.) like a human which can be satisfied by interaction with other Sims or purchased objects. Name, gender, and appearance don’t affect gameplay much, but personality determines how your Sim plays with others.

One gameplay goal is to improve your Sim and eventually help him or her achieve happiness. With proper management he or she can climb a career ladder, which nets him or her more money. This allows the purchase of higher quality stuff, which lets you improve your Sim even more. With suitable care, your Sim can have a mate, kids, and a mansion with an indoor pool. Mismanage your new, simulated family, and fights will break out, jobs will be lost, and the house will fall apart.

With The Sims, you can create whatever and whomever you desire. Triumph or tragedy? You name it. In your real life, it is the same case.

[写作内容]

1. 约30个词概括短文的要点;
