名校课堂系列答案The last Monday in March is an important day in China. It is a day for school safety education. This year, the day falls on March 25. It helps students learn more about safety and make sure they are safe. What are some accidents at school? How can you keep yourself safe? Take a look!
The main accidents at school are stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes and fires.
A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, put your hands around your head. Move to one side, and bend(弯) your body and legs.
Earthquakes happen all over the world. When you feel everything is moving, quickly get under a desk and hold on, according to China Earthquake Administration(地震局). If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines(电线).
When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. This way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire, but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself lower to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air.在

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don’t want to work. Instead, you want to stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope(显微镜). They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother won’t let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren’t found only in water . They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger and some of the dust ( 灰尘 ) from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red , and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.

It’s duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. If the man is too lazy to work, he will usually become a not useful man. Everyone, when he is young, should learn some useful work.
But it’s not enough for a man to learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul (精力) into his work, and not waste his free time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good rule for young people as old.
There is no better to help to diligence than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth (青年). There is an English say “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and make good use of time. One must study hard when one is young so that one can make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country. So we can say that diligence is the mother of success.

| A．learn some useful work |

“I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”
Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools taking a hard line on truancy (逃学)．
Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d miss whole days to avoid being caught.
For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.
Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.
The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he told James.
James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”
【小题1】What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James’ study?
| A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies. |
| B．Truants have no interest in school subjects. |
| C．Truants have more interesting things to do. |
| D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers. |
| A．experiencing a problem with | B．having a strict attitude towards |
| C．finding it difficult to solve | D．having little success with |
| A．school education is not efficient and needs improvement |
| B．it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harm |
| C．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concern |
| D．even good students may sometimes need a break from school |
| A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers. |
| B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants. |
| C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants. |
| D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it. |
In one way, it may be thought that failure（失败）is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.
The "spider-story" is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡) , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spir¬it then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal(目标) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: "If I am successful in this, where will it get me?" This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn't be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to "live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, "You can't win them all. “
【小题1】Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that .
| A．people who fail are not lonely |

| A．he liked to do other kinds of work |
| B．he invented many kinds of light bulbs |
| C．failure may be a way towards success |
| D．he was a man of many important inventions |
| A．change your goal | B．go on with your goal |
| C．not care for that | D．work even harder on your goal |
| A．one should try not to fail |
| B． one's failure is another's success |
| C．one should take failures seriously |
| D．one should learn lessons from failures |
| A．two great men |
| B． two sides of failure |

If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.
Every year it's the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.
Here's a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it's so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”
“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War II, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding (重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”.
Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.
【小题1】At the end of December, people usually ___________ .
| A．plan for the last year | B．fail to make big changes |
| C．try to lose their ideas | D．think about the new year |
| A．we should do everything in big steps |

| C．we should try a lot of sudden changes |
| D．how to change one’s life with one small step |
| A．增加成本 | B．提高待遇 | C．提高生产率 | D．增加出口量 |
| A．take a tiny step to achieve big goals |
| B．make changes at the end of the year |
| C．do few experiments with “kaizen” |
| D．do things with hard-to-achieve goals |
| A．You can't find any excuse not to reach a big goal. |
| B．You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy. |
| C．”Kaizen” was brought to Japan during World WarⅡ. |
| D．Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found it helpful. |
In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).
“People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,” says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的,积极的) relationships to your social circle. Here’re the suggestions:
“Nobody is all positive or all negative,” says Luft. “But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.” When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.
While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,” says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.
Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.
Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, “Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.”
“If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,” says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives. While your friend may need to be left alone, you may want caring phone calls. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.【小题1】What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?
| A．How people you connect with feel. |

| B．It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long. |
| C．Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends. |
| D．All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle. |

| B．when your friend leaves you, you need comfort |
| C．friends’ needs may be quite different sometimes |
| D．people may behave differently during hard times |
