As a high school dropout myself, I often feel it is my duty to defend my fellow non-scholars. Common wisdom would have you believe we are the "bad kids", the future criminals, the worst sort of people. But not all dropouts will deal drugs, shoplift, or even shoot pool all day.

My own favorite hooky hangout was always the public library. My early retirement meant that at last I had the time to read everything I wanted to.

Best of all was the time I finally had to myself. I felt uncontrolled and free. I had been in school nearly my whole life. I wanted to find out for myself who I was, and until I did, everything else felt like a waste of time.

To be honest, though, my daily life as a dropout consisted mostly of long hot baths, afternoon naps, and microwave food. After nearly three years of such self-centered pleasure, a series of strange thoughts began to enter my mind continuously.

Images of myself at the age of 35－still living at home, collecting dust balls on the couch, reading the same book over and over－began to bother me in my sleep. And a voice in my head began asking over and over, "Who is paying the hot water bills? Who buys the microwave pizza?"

The answer, of course, was my poor old parents. Sure, I was having a wonderful time doing plenty of nothing, discovering myself and all, but they were getting a raw deal. What parents long to see their child drop out of school, with no plans for the future? Could they be expected to support me forever?

Certainly not. I had been visited by Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility, and there was no looking back. I immediately moved out of the house and out of town, in search of a future for myself.

And it is here, in my new home of San Francisco, that I have decided to do what was once unthinkable: go back to school. I plan to take adult education classes and get me GED (General Educational Development), and then enroll in City College.

So next time you see a dropout, that unchangeable anti-student, be understanding. And please don't push him to do something he doesn't want to do. It never works. He'll come around when he's ready.

1.Which question is NOT answered in the article?

A. When did the writer leave school?

B. How was the writer's life as a dropout?

C. What future plans did the writer have in San Francisco?

D. What did the writer's parents say when he dropped out?

2.The writer went back to school because __________.

A. he wanted to learn something and support himself

B. he found the life as a dropout was very unbearable

C. his parents couldn't support him anymore

D. he didn't want to be looked down upon

3.What do we know about the writer from the article?

A. He didn't like studying.

B. He had a busy life as a dropout.

C. He was concerned about his future.

D. He wanted to become a teacher.

4.The writer writes this article mainly to _________.

A. explain why he became a dropout

B. tell people how to treat dropouts

C. prove that not all dropouts are bad

D. show what a dropout's life is really like

I Am a Litter Picker!

Two years ago, I became a "litter picker".

Looking at this scene, I came up with an idea: my school really needed a ________programme.

I believed that one person could make a ________ －one person with initiative (主动性), ________ I wrote out my recycling plans and one morning got a pass to the schoolmaster's office. As I told her about my ________ , my heart was beating wildly.

That night, I designed a dozen ________ and planned to arrive at school early to stick them up and hand out ________ to classrooms on Monday.

But when I arrived, I was very disappointed－the night-watchman had ________ down all of the cardboard boxes I had saved. I was so upset that I expressed my anger throughout the day to anyone who would listen. I began searching for other boxes, but I met with ________ success.

A few days later, however, my English teacher took me into the new computer lab, and before my eyes sat a mountain of cardboard boxes.

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as others. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.

Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.

1.What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person?

A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time.

B. An unpunctual person never does anything at the right time.

C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments.

D. An unpunctual person has little time to do anything.

2.According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that _______.

A. he has more work to do than other people

B. he is always in a hurry when he works

C. he doesn’t care much about time

D. he always mismanages and wastes his time

3.If someone isn’t punctual in keeping his appointments, he might ________.

A. lose his life

B. mismanage his asset

C. be thought to disrespect others

D. do harm to others

4.According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there ________.

A. after other guests

B. before other guests

C. at the appointed time

D. after the host getting things ready

5.Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?

A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.

B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.

C. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs.

D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.

No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world，but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.

In the United Kingdom，about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people：as we get older，many of us will become less mobile，hard of hearing or have falling eyesight．

Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities．Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases．The longer time goes on，the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents．Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them．

Disabled people face many physical barriers．Next time you go shopping or to work or to visit friends，imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or onto buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through，so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability，not their disability，which counts．

1.The key word in Paragraph 4 is_______.

A. disability B. ignorance

C. prejudice D. Barriers

2.The last word of the passage “counts” most probably means_______.

A. being most important B. being considered

C. being included D. being numbered

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.

B. There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.

C. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.

D. There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.

4.It can be concluded from the passage that_______.

A. we should try our best to prevent disablement

B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down

C. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled

D. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled
