I¡¯d like to share with you my progresses on study in these three years. To be honest, I was not so good at my study when I came to high school, often feel tired out and at loss. Sometimes, I am even on the point of giving up. Therefore, my change happened when my teachers and my classmates as well as came to encourage me one day in Senior Two. It was their encouragement and my own thinking that resulted in my mchievements in study final.

Still not a top student although I am now, I have found myself filled with greatly confidence to face any difficulty and challenge. There is no doubt that I am bound to fight with my dream to the end in the coming months£¡

High school students have always spread gossip (´«ÑÔ) in the halls, on the walls and on the phone. Now it¡¯s on the Internet, too. On various message boards, kids write about whom they hate, whom they think have fallen in love with each other and record other often hurtful things that may or may not be true.

Sixteen-year-old Jessica remembers once when some kids at her school wrote cruel things about her on the web. ¡°They were just making fun of me,¡± she says. They said she¡¯s really ugly, she¡¯s this, she¡¯s that, blah-blah-blah.

Jessica¡¯s 11-year-old sister, Emma, admits she¡¯s used the web to write bad things about another girl, though she regrets it now. ¡°After a while, you may feel like, how could I have been so mean? Or, why did I do that?¡± she says.

Experts say gossip on the Internet can be more harmful than the old fashioned kind. It lasts longer and is taken more seriously. And, unlike ugly words on the bathroom wall, there¡¯s no way to get rid of it.

If your kids are victims(Êܺ¦Õß) of online gossip, Dr. Commanday suggests putting the gossip in to perspective (ÕýÈ·¿´´ý). ¡°Point out to them how what¡¯s being said on the screen differs from what everyone knows about you as a person,¡± Dr. Commanday says.

You can also try what worked from Emma: keep your kids off the offensive (𷸵Ä) website! ¡°When she was using it all the time, her name was there all the time. People were writing things about her,¡± explains Patti Thrift, Emma¡¯s mother, ¡°Since she has no longer had access to that, she¡¯s no longer a topic of conversation.¡±

I believe you can do your best. Not being the best but toughing the limits of what you¡¯re capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.

Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn¡¯t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasn¡¯t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.

As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. ¡°I don¡¯t know the answer,¡± I would say, ¡°I can¡¯t do it!¡± ¡°Perhaps you don¡¯t know the answer,¡± he would say quietly. ¡°Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?¡±

Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.

¡°Don¡¯t be so hard on yourself,¡± he¡¯d say. ¡°Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you¡¯re not a failure,¡± he often told me these words.

Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don¡¯t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best¡ªand that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can¡¯t all be ¡°the best¡±, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that¡¯s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.

A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren¡¯t left out on the playground. Called the ¡°Buddy Bench¡±, students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they¡¯d like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.

The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple: Students who want to partake in playground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies(±íÃ÷) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.

The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell, school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality. The PTSO approved the students¡¯ proposal, and installed(°²×°) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads ¡°Buddy Bench¡± on the school¡¯s playground.

Since it was installed on Nov. 16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with(ÒýÆð¹²Ãù) the students, and already has created a better environment within the school community.

¡°Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,¡± Farrell said. ¡°The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives. It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.¡±

1.Who is Buddy Bench created for?

A. Students who love games and activities.

B. Students who want and continue to be kind.

C. Students who are left out on the playground.

D. Students who are in Farrell¡¯s leadership group.

2.What does the underlined word ¡°they¡± in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The PTSO.B. Buddy Bench users.

C. The workshop members.D. Farrell and teachers.

3.Which of the following statements can show ¡°the bench has been effective¡±?

A. The workshop kids have set a good example.

B. More and more creative ideas have come up.

C. The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.

D. Some shy students have found friends on the playground.

We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body¡¯s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.

A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say ¡°She¡¯s the brains in the family.¡± And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing it. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.

Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase ¡°brain trust¡± became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S. These professors were called his ¡°brain trust.¡±

These ways we use the word ¡°brain¡± all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word ¡°drain¡±. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flow away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, a brain drain is when a country¡¯s most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.

However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.

If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.

1.Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election according to the passage?

A£®Because word experts were popular.

B£®Because he got his brain trust.

C£®Because he was smart at giving advice.

D£®Because he was the brains behind Americans.

2.According to the text, if you¡¯re the CEO of Bai Du you can be called ________.

A£®the organ of Bai Du

B£®the brain drain of Bai Du

C£®the brains behind Bai Du

3.Which of the following expressions is always used in a negative way?

A£®Brainstorm.B£®Brain trust.C£®Brainwash.D£®Brain drain.

4.What¡¯s the main idea of this article£¿

A£®The origin of the word ¡°brain¡±.

B£®The word ¡°brain¡± and its stories.

C£®What is the brain.

D£®The difference between ¡°brain trust¡± and ¡°brainwash¡±.

How to Become an Effective Leader

The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. 1._______ It takes time to become a trustworthy leader.

As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:

Don¡¯t be self-centered.

The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. 2.________ Perhaps that is why Lawrence Bell remarked, ¡°A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely to become a good leader.¡±

3.________

Rare is the effective leader who didn¡¯t learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first.

Work with excellence.

No one respects and follows mediocrity(ƽӹ). Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 4._______

Give your power away.

What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 5.________ If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

A. Become a good follower first.

B. You are meant to be a river, not a pool.

C. They lead in order to serve other people.

D. Leaders help people to reach their potential.

E. Leadership isn¡¯t learned or earned in a moment.

F. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.

G. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.

Living with a roommate can be a great experience as many roommates become lifelong friends. However, roommates living together under the same roof for a long time unavoidably conflict with each other. 1. To prevent this from happening to you, each conflict should be addressed in a productive, healthy way.

1. Set a time for discussion.

Once conflicts occur, you need to set up a time to discuss the conflict. 2. They may think about any problems they want to discuss. It also allows for a better discussion as the both roommates will most likely enter the discussion fairly calm.

2. Make rules for discussion

Before discussing the actual conflicts, set up some rules to guide the discussion. For example, each roommate is allowed to air one problem at a time and the other roommate has a chance to respond to it before another one is brought up. Making rules beforehand can prevent a screaming match from breaking out. 3.

3. 4.

You can use your discussion to point out to your roommates their great traits and specific things you like about them. While this won¡¯t solve the conflict, it can help your roommates be more understanding of your point of view and more willing to compromise.

4. Come up with a written roommate agreement

Once grievances£¨²»Âú£© have been aired by both parties you should develop a roommate agreement that is written down. This agreement should discuss what the rules are as well as what consequences exist for breaking them. For example, roommates having a conflict about overnight guests may compromise to allow overnight guests only on weekends with guests on weekdays being gone by 11 p. m. 5.

A. Talk about your problems openly.

B. Point out good things about roommates.

C. Being honest can avoid unfriendly discussion.

D. This provides both parties a chance for preparation.

E. And disaster can strike when a conflict never gets settled.

F. A consequence may be that the violator(Î¥·´Õß) pays $5 for breaking the rules.

G. This is because both sides know they will have an opportunity to speak.

I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.

In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.

The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Non-imported(·Ç½ø¿ÚµÄ) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.

When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.

When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, ¡°We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.¡±

1.What does the author think of Chinese people?

A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work.

B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud.

C. He dislikes most Chinese people.

D. He praises most Chinese people a lot.

2.What is the author doing in China?

A. He is teaching English in a school.

B. He is visiting the places of interest.

C. He is studying in a college.

D. He is on business.

3.What are NOT cheap in China in the author's opinion?

A. Clothes and shoes made in China.

B. Local foods.

C. Imported foods.

D. Public transportation tickets.

4.We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________.

A. the westerners have got to know China well

B. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US

C. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere

D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China
