Recently,our school has held the meaningful discussion on whether it is reasonable for middle school students to have classes on weekends. Some of our classmates believe we should have classes on weekends because we can make fully use of free time to review the lessons we had learnt. Some others are against the opinion,saying we had better to have a good rest on weekends so that we can work effective during the weekdays. The rest agree with neither of the opinion. They have the view which keeping the balance between work and play are important for us. They suggest one day of the weekend should used to learn our lessons and during the other day we do something interested or have a rest.

  Even if you are naturally shy,these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.

  1. Take pictures 

  One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves,and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say ,“If you’d like I can email it to you. ” This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.

  2. Eat alone in public You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit ： you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious) . Plus,having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.

  3. Join a class,sports team,or club 

  Yoga,salsa dancing,volleyball,Toastmasters (a public speaking club) ，a class for work,etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

  These are all great places to meet new people,primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and o-ver again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.

Tips：

* In the beginning,never turn down an invitation from someone,even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.

* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend) .

* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!

(   ) 5.________can give you an excuse to start new con nections.

   A. approach others to show conscious friendliness

   B. start a conversation with those who have friends aside

   C. invite others to your apartment to eat together

   D. sit on your own in public places

 “I am a historian ,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past,and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country,perhaps the world,has as remarkable a past as Harvard’s. ”

 “And our common enterprise is to make Harvard’s future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don’t do as well as we should,and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better. ”

  My father left for our native place on Thursday. In fact,he had never travelled by 1        before,so I just took this opportunity to let him 2        his first flight. 3      being asked to book a ticket by train,I got him a ticket on Jet Airways. The moment I handed over the ticket to him,he was surprised. The 4        was very apparent on his face as we waited for the time of the 5        Just like a schoolboy,he was 6        himself on that day,using the trolley (手推车) for his luggage and asking for a window seat. He was 7        enjoying himself and I,too,was watching him experience all these things with 8        As he was about to go in for the security check-in,he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and 9        me. He became very 10        for what I had done meant a great deal to him. I told him there was no need to thank me.

  Later,I 11        my life. As a child,how many dreams had our parents made come true? Without 12        the financial situation,we asked for dresses,toys,outings,etc. They tried to 13        all our needs. Did we ever say thanks for all they had done for us? Today 14        it comes to our children,we always think we should give them the best. But we tend to 15        that our parents have sacrificed a lot to see us happy? so it is our 16        to make sure their dreams are realized.

  Old age is like a second childhood and just as we take care of our children,the same 17        needs to be given to our parents. I want to say sorry for making my father 18        so long for this small dream to be realized.

Just the fact that they are old does not mean that they will have to 19        everything and keep sacrificing. They have 20     ，too.

  Take care of your parents. They are precious.

  Shopping green can make an important contribution to protecting the planet and conserving its resources.

  Today’s consumers face a wider range of choices than ever before. Add to that the steady stream of sales campaigns,and shopping smart only gets harder. To buy economically and reduce waste,safeguard health and protect the environment,you’ll need to follow some basic principles and have a clear idea of what you want.

  1. Do your homework Before making any major purchase,take the time to research it. Plentiful resources are usually available online. Avoid buying in a hurry,and don’t be persuaded by over-enthusiastic salespeople. Sleep on it if necessary—you won’t regret giving yourself some extra time to think.

  2. Take the long view Consider the running costs as well as the initial price of any item you buy. Many environmentally friendly products cost more to buy,but save you money in the long run. Choose items that are made to last. For example,pick a sofa that has a hardwood or steel frame rather than one made of softwood,which may break easily.

  3. Skip the disposable option Buy reusable products like washable cloth towels,handkerchiefs,serviettes (餐巾) and cleaning cloths rather than paper,single-use varieties. Avoid other disposable supplies like cups,glasses,and chopsticks,too.

  4. Take the local route Buy local products that are in season. It’s usually cheaper and fresher and has less harm to the environment. Markets and roadside stands are good sources. Some supermarkets also buy from local producers. Support it if you have one.

5. Avoid wasteful packaging Better not buy products that have too much packaging. It’s estimated that approximately 10        per cent of every shopping bill is actually paying for packaging—which you normally just throw away!Moreover,significant amounts of energy are used in the production of packaging. Purchasing refillable and renewable containers can also help cut this kind of waste.

It’s very kind for you to let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about your beautiful hometown. It located on the bank of a river and it is a beautiful place to live in. Its economy has been developing rapid in the past 2 decades. More schools and hospitals are available to people. Besides,there are some problems,such as water and air pollution and heavy traffics in rush hours. On my opinion,my hometown should develop its economy scientifically. Something must be doing to prevent water and air pollution and the growth of its population should be brought under the control so that we’ll have a better hometown.

B An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January,according to UCAS,the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.

Professor John Beath,the president of the society,and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University,said his first-year lectures—which are open to students from all departments— were drawing crowds of 400,rather than the usual 250.

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors,who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. ” He added.

University applications rose by 7 % last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump,with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector,which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters,and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on,although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.

Zack Hocking,the head of Child Trust Funds,said, “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty. ”

(   ) 5. Professor John Beath’s lectures are.

   A. given in a traditional way

   B. open to both students and their parents

   C. connected with the present situation

   D. warmly received by economists

(   ) 6. Incomes in the public sector are more attractive because of their.

   A. greater stability   B. higher pay

   C. fewer applications   D. better reputation

(   ) 7. According to Zack Hocking,the global economic crisis might make the youngsters.

   A. have access to better equipment

   B. wiser in money management

   C. confident about their future careers

   D. get jobs in Child Trust Funds

(   ) 8. What’s the main idea of the text?

   A. Universities have received more applications.

   B. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.

   C. Economics is attracting an increasing number of students.

    D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.
