As a teacher we all have those memories of students—we wonder if we were able to teach or reach those students who had a need to get out of their seats every five minutes or so. I recently received an e-mail from one such student, Paco, Paco’s e-mail brought back memories of one particular class: It was our high school’s first year of block scheduling our classes were 80 minutes long instead of the traditional 40 minutes. On this particular day, I was being observed by two college professors. Of course, I was proud of the fact that the class was conducted entirely in Spanish and the students felt comfortable expressing themselves in Spanish. On that day, Paco came running through the door with a toasted cheese sandwich in hand. “ Senora Mike. I’m hungry and I hope you don’t mind if I just quickly eat this great toasted cheese sandwich. ” I said, “Go ahead, Paco. ” Paco sat down and finished his sandwich, Paco had now noticed our two visitors. Of course, our two visitors noticed Paco the minute he ran through the door. The lesson was going along quite well, and all the students were working in their groups. Suddenly, Paco raised his hand and said, “Senora, esta lloviendo en mis pantalones. ”(“Mrs. M. it is raining in my pants. ”) Now, being Paco’s Spanish teacher, I understood what he wanted. I knew that it was his way of requesting to go to the bathroom. You could just imagine the laughter from the other students. I always wonder just how much Spanish Paco learned in that class, but I know he learned more than just Spanish based on an e-mail he recently wrote to me: I know I was a handful but you actually cared. You knew I had potential. So even though I messed up a lot, you never gate up…I’m deeply grateful to you Senora, everything you taught me about Spanish. My attitude and life will stick with me the rest of my day… You see，Paco was my student ten years ago. 1.What do we learn about Paco? A.He did well in his lessons. B.He didn’t behave well enough.

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher. If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart()疏远). When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything. Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance（表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse. This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel and listening is the key factor to communication. 1.In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children. A.more difficult B.easier C.more uninteresting D.more interesting 2.The main idea of the second paragraph is __________. A.the importance of friendship B.to make your feeling known to others C.the importance of communication D.the disagreement between generations 3.The example in this passage proves that ___________. A.Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her B.Sophie is very polite to her parents C.Sophie did well in explaining her being late D.communication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding 4.All the following statements are correct except “_______”. A.If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know B.It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing C.If you are not able to communicate, walk away D.Communication is a two-way deal

1.Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire. A nearby town, Paradise, was reduced to ash. Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing. Six of the ten most destructive fires in California's history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record, until this year. Why is the Golden State so flammable? 2.There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is becoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur. 3.A second reason is that more people live in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. These areas, which environmentalists call the "wildland-urban interface", are at higher risk of wildfire. 4.A third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western settlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires have been controlled well. This has led to a build-up of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one. 5.Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies(公用事业公司) are acting and investing responsibly. Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on, but some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks (火花) from lines owned by an electricity company. 1.What may directly cause the big fire in California? A.The warm climate. B.Living too close to nature. C.Too much fuel. D.Sparks from electric wire 2.What does the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1 suggest? A.The fires in California are all very destructive. B.The latest big fire in California is very destructive. C.California suffered from destructive fires most last year. D.There have been six destructive fires in California in the past 10 years. 3.What does the text mainly talk about? A.The reasons why California suffered a destructive fire recently. B.The reasons why California suffered destructive fires frequently. C.The facts that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires. D.The opinions that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires. 4.What is the structure of the text? A.1//2-3// 4-5 B.1-2// 3-5 C.1//2-4// 5 D.1// 2-5

Three tips for protecting your eyes during the winter We typically worry about staying warm during the winter months, and think less about protecting our eyes.1.. Here are three things you can do to protect your eyes during the winter months. Tip 1: 2.. During the winter, our eyes are constantly exposed to blowing, dry, hot air that can cause them to become dry. Here are a few treatments: 3.. Distance yourself from direct heat sources while sitting. Use a humidifier(加湿器)to help reduce dryness. Tip 2: Wear sunglasses with UV(紫外线)protection. UV rays in the winter can harm our eyes. 4.. Wear sunglasses when you’re outside, or diving, to protect your eyes from UV rays. This is especially important as days lengthen into spring and the sun gets stronger. Tip 3: Goggles(护目镜) protect in many ways. Goggles not only protect our eyes from UV rays, but they also help keep our eyes from drying out from the winter wind. In addition, think about all those branches, leaves, and dirty snow that can severely injure our eyes upon contact. 5.. Don’t forget them! A. Clean your eyes carefully B. Don’t let your eyes dry out C. Goggles protect the eyes from the wind D. Keep eye drops handy to wet your eyes E. It just makes good sense to wear quality goggles F. In fact, they can do even more harm when they’re reflecting off snow G. However, the winter months can be as hard on our eyes as the summer months
