One possible version £º

Dear Sir/Madam.

I'm very glad to know in the post bar that our school broad-casting station needs new members this term. I'm writing to ap?ply to be one of you £¡

I am Li Hua£¬ a boy from Senior One. I have ever been a broadcaster for one term before? and in Junior Three I gained the first prize in the contest of putonghua of our grade. My friends around always tell me my voice sounds beautiful. Of course, I

know clearly being a broadcaster calls for extra devotion and more hours after school 

are necessary for better performance. Perhaps, my high school life will be busier with such a task every day, but I'd like to develop myself and hope to obtain more knowledge af?ter class to make my new school life more fulfilling.

I'm eager for your reply and I'll be more than happy if you can consider my application. Please contact me by telephone at 5103123 or e-mail at lihual01@hotmail. com.

Yours faithfully, Li Hua

While success is surely sweeter than failure, it seems failure is a far better teacher, and organizations that fail mis?erably often flourish (·±ÈÙ)more in the long run, according to a new study by Vinit Desai, assistant professor of manage?ment at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. Researchers have found that people missing their goals per?form much better in the long run. That is because they gain more knowledge from their failures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds.

"We found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years," said professor Desai, who led the study. "But compa?nies often ignore failure. Managers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.£¬£¬

Professor Desai compared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger. During the Atlantis' flight last year, a piece of insulation(¾øÔµÌ壩broke off and damaged the left solid rocket booster (»ð¼ýÖúÍÆÆ÷£©but didn't influ?ence the programme. There was little investigation. The Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. This time the shuttle and its seven-person crew were destroyed. The disaster led to a major investigation re?sulting in 29 changes to prevent future disasters.

The difference in response in the two cases came down to this £º Atlantis was considered a success and the Challenger a failure.

"Despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable," he said. " The number of failures is extremely small. And past researches have shown that older airlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of acci?dents. "

Professor Desai doesn't recommend finding out failure in order to learn. Instead, he advises organizations to analyse small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures.

1. Why did experts pay little attention to the problem of At?lantis?

 A.     Because it worked perfectly.

B.     Because the right booster was still OK.

C.     Because nothing serious happened then.

D.     Because fewer people died in the flight.

2.Fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that . 

A. their planes couldn't fly high in the sky

 B.      they gained much from experience in failure

C.      their planes were often checked by the experts

D.     they were unpopular among passengers

 3.The passage is written mainly to_____________ .

 A.     show failure is a better teacher than success

B.     explain why the Challenger failed

C.     introduce something about Professor Desai

D.     tell managers how to achieve success

4.Which writing strategy is NOT used in developing the passage?

 A.     Giving definitions.

B.     Making comparisons.

C.     Analysing causes.

D.     Providing different examples.

B [2015 •ÄϾ©ÊС¢ÑγÇÊиßÈýÄ꼶µÚÒ»´ÎÄ£Ä⡽According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) £¬ the UK has about 7. 7 million families with dependent children, of which 3. 7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1. 1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 per cent and will likely rise to more than 50 per cent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, "It ap?pears that families are getting smaller."

One obvious reason for this could be that women are put-ting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an in?creasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers' online forum Mums-net, where one member announced that she "just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child".

She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one child, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.

Not all products of single-child families are as keen to re-' peat the experience.  In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to "squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart" as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a "brattish, wilful" rejection of eve?rything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being "misery".

Writer and clinician Dr Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society £¬ says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.

However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find them?selves looking after their own parents as they become older.

5.The passage is written with the purpose of___________ .

 A.     illustrating the strength and weakness of having an on?ly child

B.     analysing the reasons why having an only child be?comes popular

C.     presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

D.     guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives

6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

 A.     Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.

B.     All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child.

C.     Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.

D.     People brought up in an only child family resist down?sizing the family.

7. From what Dr Dorothy Rowe said, we know that____________ .

 A.    journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable child?hood

B.     she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's re?action

C.     it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D.    some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

8.What can be inferred from the passage?

 A.     It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.

B.      Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.

C.      Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.

D.     Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents.

Happy April Fool's Day

In celebration of the day, we have put together a list of some of the greatest hoaxes in history. They are the lies that have been designed for innocent people who are ready to believe them.

INSTANT COLOUR TV

In 1962 there was only one TV channel inSweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's tech?nical expert? Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display colour reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favourite shows in colour. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people were taken in. Actual colour TV transmission only started to ap?pear in Sweden on April 1£¬ 1970.

SAN SERRIFFE

In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement (Ôö¿¯)in honour of the tenth anniversary of San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this un?known nation. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers asked for more information about the beautiful holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the is?land was made up.

NIXON FOR PRESIDENT

In 1992 American National Public Radio s Talk of the Nation programme announced that Richard Nichard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, "I didn't do any?thing wrong, and I won't do it again. £¬£¬ Accompanying this announcement were audio clips (Ƭ¶Ï)of Nixon de?livering his election speech. Listeners responded imme?diately to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and anger. Only during the sec?ond half of the show did the host John Hockenbcrry re?veal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon's voice was copied by comedian Rich Little.

1.Which of the following countries is NOT mentioned in the text?

A. India. B.  TheUK.

C.TheUnited States.      D.Sweden.

2.Who worked as a host on the radio?

A.Kjell Stensson.  B.  Rich Little.

C.Richard Nixon.     D.  John Hockenbcrry.

3.When did the small republic San Scrriffe come into being?

A.In 1962.     B.  In 1977.

C.In 1992.  D. Never.

4.Where can we probably read this article?

A.In an ad.    B.   In a magazine.

C.In a novel.    D.  In a textbook.

Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time 9 in many ways.

Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a 10 meaning to the event. It is not a 11 to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, 12 he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that something is urgent and 13 immediate at?tention.

The same meaning is 14 telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think it is a 15 of life and death. The time chosen for the call 16 its importance.

 In social life, time plays a very 17 part. In the Unit?ed States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the 18 to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not 19 in all coun?tries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered fool?ish to make an appointment too far 20 because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be 21 .

The meaning of time 22 from place to place in the world.  23 £¬ misunderstandings often arise between people from different cultures that 24 time differently. For ex?ample, promptness(׼ʱ£©is 25 greatly in American life. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as 26 or not fully responsible. In the US, no one would think of keep?ing a business partner 27 for an hour; it would be too rude. A person who is five minutes late is 28 to make a short apology.

  If you've ever dashed into the grocery store to pick up a tube of toothpaste, you're likely to stop before so many op?tions available. There are at least more than a dozen brands? each one presenting several different specialties of cleaning ability. Sometimes before you have enough time to take the costs £¬ flavours and colours into consideration £¬ you are warned the store is closing.

But it's not just the number of options that gives us pause for thought¡ªit's the amount of information each option has that trips us up, too. Social scientist Barry Schwartz thinks that in part, an abundance of choices and information may make us falsely believe that even a fairly ordinary task like shopping for toothpaste has great significance than it re?ally does. He also points out that the Internet can actually make matters worse.

Our goal is to make the "perfect" choice. When we make decisions, we're motivated not only by the opportunity for gain, but also by the fear of loss. The decision-making process isn't a purely analytical one¡ªresearchers discovered that the process of making a choice lights up parts of our brains that deal with regret and emotional memories. But what we may regret most is the extra time spent analysing and comparing each and every bit of information, which can lower our decision-making ability.

One good approach is to place a value on the time it takes to make your decision, compared to the value of the decision itself. In the case of toothpaste, you probably serve your in?terests sufficiently by quickly choosing any toothpaste that keeps white teeth securely rooted in your minty(±¡ºÉζµÄ£© mouth.

1. We can learn from the first paragraph that .

A.     more options help people make the right decision

B.     different kinds of toothpaste function similarly

C.     people's personal preferences affect their choices

D.     time is wasted on making insignificant decisions

 2.  What can we infer from the second paragraph? 

  A. People often make wrong decisions.

B.  There are no small decisions in life.

C. The Internet provides more options.

D. Careful choice is worth the effort.

3. In making choices,people have to balance ____________ .

 A.     time and place

B.     gain and loss

C.     regret and memories

D.     opportunity and motivation

4.The writer's purpose in writing this text is to .

 A.     give advice on how to make a quick and right choice

B.     show how valuable time is wasted for nothing

C.     describe the choice-making process in our brain

D.     offer tips on how to save time when shopping
