Being a teacher is always believed to be one of greatest occupations, because teachers make great contributions for the world. Last week, I got a chance to experience teaching students. Our school asked us to teach some kids live in the countryside. The kids was so happy that they gave me a warm welcome. I teach them English and after class, we played games happily. We had a lot of funs together. When I returned back to school, I missed the students so much. They like me but some of them have kept in touch with me ever since. I felt so proudly of being a teacher.

Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. 1.
But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. 2. Although I’m basically shy, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. 3. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or twenty.
4.And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will. No matter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to get your ducks in a row, ---how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close.
When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. 5. A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.
The standard length of a vaudeville (杂耍) act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn’t go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?
A. Some people are born to be good at making speeches.
B. Anybody who can talk can speak in public.
C. Try to relax yourself before making the speech.
D. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.
E. If you can’t express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough.
F. When you know where you’re headed, you can choose any route to get there.
G. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time.
E-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors, researchers from the University of Southern California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.
The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩盖) the 3. 5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use, as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may not sound like a ton, the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .
How, despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts, have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or friend groups.
Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes, which are not very expensive, are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina, high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco, but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes, the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some weren't even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive, which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway drug.
If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool, we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.
1.From 2013 to 2014 student e-cigarette smokers in high school increased by about ____.
A. 3. 5% B. 9% C. 27% D. 40%
2.About one third of teen e-smokers use e-cigarettes because of ____ .
A. e-cigarettes’ low prices B. cool designs of e-cigarettes
C. the influence of people around them. D. their dislike of traditional cigarettes
3.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. E-cigarettes are different from drugs.
B. Teens are unsure whether e-cigarettes can be considered safe.
C. E-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes.
D. Teens are misled by e-cigarette advertisements.
4.What is the author’s attitude to e-cigarettes?
A. favorable B. objective C. opposed D. indifferent
As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦)in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.
Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response, suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.
A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds, roughly the time it takes to blink (眨眼) , two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women, even if they had no children.
Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的)view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.
Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.
1.A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it ____.
A. keeps on crying B. makes people feel strong emotions
C. causes people great pain D. cries harder than adults
2.The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “____”.
A. remove B. cause C. avoid D. cure
3.What may Christine Parsons agree to?
A. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.
B. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cry.
C. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.
D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cries.
4.What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head.
B. How to recognize different babies’ cries.
C. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.
D. How to prevent a baby crying.
