On Punctuality

A punctual man is in the habit of doing everything at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. 【1】 There is a proverb that says, “Time flies never to be recalled.” This is very true. 【2】 Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself, and the unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his own valuable assets as well as others'. The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or to return calls, or to keep appointments promptly. 【3】 He knows that he can't get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

【4】_ If a person is invited to a dinner and arrives later than expected, he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting him alone. This is great disrespect.

【5】 Imagine how it would be if those who are entrusted with 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 his fellow men. And the unpunctual man is a source of annoyance both to others and to himself.

A.Failure to be punctual is a sign of disrespect towards others.

B.A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained.

C.He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both his time and his good name.

D.Unpunctuality is very harmful when it comes to doing one's duty.

E.Of these the former are the majority.

F.But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it.

G.Broadly speaking, humans can be divided into two classes.

【4】如果一个人被邀请去参加晚宴而迟到,让主人和其他客人只等他一个人,这就是对别人的不尊重。所以不守时就是对别人的不尊重,故选A。

【5】如果一个人被委以重任却不能守时,那么就会失去朋友同事的信任,所以不守时是非常有害的,故选D。

College is not just about studying, writing essays and burning the midnight oil in the library. Making friends and enjoying yourself is also necessary for the courses. Parties are social events for students to gather and chat with each other.

Drinking and music College parties in the US are always lacking in creativity and full of wine and music. The basic form rarely changes drink until you cannot anymore and play loud music at an earthshaking volume. There is plenty of beer involved, and some mixed cocktails.

Creativity in dress The creativity comes in how parties are dressed up. Parties often have a specific theme, like a 90s party or a sports party. At a 90s party, guests might show up dressed like oncefamous celebrities. At a sports party, guests might wear their favorite team's uniforms.

Held in apartments The party is usually held in the apartment of a particular outgoing friend. Everyone will be invited, which means strangers will wander in and out of the apartment where you can get to know and make some new friends.

Ugly sweater party On holidays, parties frequently take on a proper theme. A popular theme around Christmas is the ugly sweater party. The goal is to wear the ugliest sweater you can find, creating an atmosphere of fun.

Whatever the occasion is, there will be no shortage of booze. If you are smart enough, you won't have so much as to lose your consciousness. Parties are always better when you can remember them the next day.

Dear Mr. Wolfson,

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated (敬业的) community service. The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson. I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator (协调员).

I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor. During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees. As far as I know, she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work. I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition.

Just last year alone, she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes FundRaising Banquet. In addition, she is a weekly driver for the MealsonWheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis. Whenever a project or committee needs her, she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly. I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years, they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here. By the way, Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this. She is a humble (谦虚的) person, and if she were aware of it, she would not allow me to send it.

I thought about writing such a letter about her a nmber of times in the past but just never took action. Then last week, I noticed in the paper that you sponsor (主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth. In fact, I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!

I urge you to correct that omission (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.

Sincerely,

Linda Sullivan

【1】Linda is Elizabeth's ________.

A.friend and colleague B.neighbor and leader

C.neighbor and worker D.friend and neighbor

2From the letter we know that Linda ________ Elizabeth much.

A.depends on B.looks down upon

C.ignores D.respects

3According to the letter, Elizabeth ________.

A.wants to be asked to take part in the annual event

B.contributes much to the community

C.has been invited to the annual dinner

D.has been given a lot of honors

4What can we learn about Mr.Wolfson from the letter?

A.He knows Linda quite well.

B.He is a careless person.

C.He tries something to reward those who have done much community service.

D.He tries his best to find Elizabeth and do something to reward her.

The Benefits of Keeping a Journal

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it. 1

* It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever got an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 2 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

* It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve got. 3 You can use the ideas to push yourself forward.

* 4 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

* It helps you expand your idea. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 5 In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A. I often experienced that myself.

B. It trains you to express your thoughts.

C. It allows you to see your progress over time.

D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

E. Here are some benefits you will get by keep a journal.

F. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.

【题目】阅读理解。

One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word Poems appeared in big, hot pink letters.

Is it good? I asked her.

Yeah, she answered. There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too. I leaned forward.

‘Patty Poem,’ she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:

She never puts her toys away,

Just leaves them scattered where they lay,… 散乱的

The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:

When she grows and gathers poise, 稳重

I’ll miss her harum-scarum noise, 莽撞的

And look in vain for scattered toys. 徒劳地

And I’ll be sad.

A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.

It’s you, honey, My mother said sadly.

To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the she in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.

What’s wrong? my mother asked.

Oh Mama, I cried. I don’t want to grow up ever!

She smiled. Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?

Okay, I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking aboutthat silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.

I have since fallen in love with other poems, but Patty Poem remains my poem. After all, Patty Poem gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.

【1】 Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?

A. It was a thick enough book.

B. Something on its cover caught her eye.

C. Her mother was reading it with interest.

D. It has a meaningful title.

【2】 After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.

A. sad B. excited

C. horrified D. confused

【3】 The writer’s mother liked to read Patty Poem probably because______.

A. it reflected her own childhood

B. it was written in simple language

C. it was composed by a famous poet

D. it gave her a hint of what would happen

【4】 It can be concluded from the passage thatPatty Poemleads the writer to _______.

A. discover the power of poetry

B. recognize her love for puzzles
