Good Work Ethics (规范)

When I was younger, about 14, I was already ready to work.My father was a dairy man and he had been working his entire life.For him, getting up at 5 a.m.and working a couple of hours before I went to school, and then   36   more after school until there was not enough37   to see, were normal.

My father considered putting good work ethics in me to be very   38  .He began to show me these, not through   39  , but through his actions.He would not  40   a job until it was done.He   41   put his all into everything he did.   42   , he showed me this not just in working, but in everything.Like when I was in soccer, I wanted to  43  a game once.and he explained to me-that I had made a  44   and that even if I just skipped one game, then I did not 45   to play the rest of the games.

So the day I started my first job at the age of 14, I was  46   to show my father that I could do it well, and that I was not going to  47 . My entire  48   was to make my father proud of me.

Whenever we do something wrong, Jesus Christ sees it. He loves us and doesn’t say it. Perhaps he’s wondering how long we’ll keep our mind suffering. A little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm and he was given a slingshot(弹弓) to play with out in the woods. He  36  for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little  37 , he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was _   38 back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck. Just out of   39 , he let the slingshot fly , hitting it in the head ,and killed it. In a panic, he    40 the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister Sally   41  be watching him. Sally had seen all this, but she said _42 . After lunch that day Grandma said, “Sally, it’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” And then she spoke _43 to him, “Remember the duck?” So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if  44  wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help me make supper.” But Sally just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because Johnny told me he was too   45 to help you. And she whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishing and Johnny  46 to help make supper. After several days of doing both his 47 and Sally’s, Johnny finally couldn’t 48 it any longer. He came to his Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck .Grandma smiled and gave him a big 49 . “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was watering the flowers at the window   50  I saw you shoot my duck with the slingshot, and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I  51 you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally  52_ of you.”

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

[1] Parents and educators battle over how much homework kids should have, and how often they should have it. This past school year, my eldest daughter's teacher did not assign too much homework, and often gave the kids extra time during class to get it done. Meanwhile, my daughter's dear friend — who attends the same school and is in the same grade — struggled nightly with her lengthy homework assignments. She had work to do every night, extra projects to complete, and assignments to complete over holiday break.

[2] So which was the lucky kid? Some might argue that my child was — she had more time to play, and spent less time stressing over assignments. Others might feel that my child was missing out on a key element of her education by not having what she was learning during the school day reinforced.

[3] To be honest, I'm not really sure which camp I'm in, but it's debates like this one that have sparked a homework revolution between parents and schools all over the country. A New York Times article reported that the school district in Galloway, N.J., is considering a proposal to limit weeknight homework to 10 minutes for each year of school — 20 minutes for second-graders, 30 minutes for third-graders, etc. — and ban assignments on weekends, holidays and school vacations. The school district in Pleasanton, Calif., is looking at a similar proposal. __________, other schools around the country are introducing homework-free holidays, no-homework nights, and goal-work — instead of homework — that can be completed throughout the school day.

[4] Most of these changes are in response to annoyed parents who see lengthy homework assignments competing with what little family time they have each day. The documentary "Race To Nowhere" spurred(激起)more debate by highlighting the unnecessary pressure on kids in today's educational system.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Active listening is an essential skill in learning. It is when you listen carefully to make sure you understand and learn the information that is being conveyed.     1   Here are some things which can help you to listen actively.

    2   . Don’t just write everything down. Listen carefully and make sure you understand what the purpose of this lecture is. As you take down notes, keep the main point in mind and make sure you understand how these notes are related.

◆Listen for an organizational structure. Listen carefully to figure out how the ideas are organized and they will make more sense.

◆Pay attention to organizational cues (暗示).    3   Pay close attention to the introduction, as it will probably show how you should organize your notes. If the lecture begins with, “Today I’m going to talk about three ethnic conflicts (种族冲突) in the Middle East,” then you have a good idea of what’s going to follow. Listen for “signpost” words to show a transition (过渡) from one point to the next, such as “next” and “finally” and numerical signposts like “first” or “third”.

◆Listen with your eyes.   4   Watch the teacher and be aware of how he or she uses hand gestures, eye contact and other body language to convey points.

◆Remove distractions. Put away the campus newspaper, your cell phone and anything else that might be more interesting than the lecturer.

Learning to concentrate and listen actively is an endurance(耐力) skill.   5  

A.Speakers communicate information through nonverbal communication.

B.Unfortunately, many students don’t know how to listen actively when they attend classes.

C.If your teacher indicates that something is important, mark it.

D.Make yourself do it, and it will get easier over time.

E. Listen carefully for words and phrases that reflect the organizational structure of the lecture.

F. Your teachers’ notes are probably organized into some kind of outline.

G. Listen for the main point and major sub-points.
