For one thing, parents are often not aware 【4】the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the【5】 (compete) is stronger, that the required standards of work are 【6】(high), and that their children may not be prepared for 【7】change. They may be upset by their children’s poor grades. At their kindest, they may【8】(gentle) ask why John or Mary isn’t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten 【9】 (take) children out of college or cut off living expenses.

【题目】Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls(颚骨), “turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes.

The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature(过早的)signs of ageing. “If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown(皱眉)while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines,” Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck. “

Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy(脾气暴躁的)face’ without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”

He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”

Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that, after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.

【1】In what way do women develop a “computer face”?

A. Frowning every now and then.

B. Concentrating on computers frequently.

C. Working for too long in front of a screen.

D. Sitting in the same place for a long time.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following are signs of ageing?

A. Saggy jowls and short necks.

B. Turkey neck and frown lines.

C. Deep-set wrinkles and angry faces.

D. Second neck and stressed muscles.

【3】From the last 2 paragraphs, we can learn that ______.

A. “computer face” is avoidable

B. we should give up using computers

C. we should break the habit of “grumpy face”

D. the younger generation is worse at computers

【题目】When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home. My mom warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost. After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk.

The very next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another. In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees. After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back. Turning around I easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad. I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on. Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again. Instead, I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature. I’d sit by the streams and listen to them sing. I’d watch the birds and squirrels. I’d bend down to smell the flowers. And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow.

There is an old Native American Saying that goes “We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.” As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day. I have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same. May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love.

【1】When the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because ______.

A. he lost his way in the woods

B. he could find his tracks so easily

C. he left many trails of destruction

D. God was very disappointed in him

【2】The boy took off some branches to ______.

A. protect himself

B. make his way out

C. see the sun clearly

D. leave some marks

【3】The author wrote the passage to ______.

A. call on us to leave tracks of virtues in life

B. inform us that we shouldn’t destroy trees

C. tell us how to avoid getting lost in the woods

D. show us ways to get back home in the forest

Dear Xiaohua,

It is four days since mother recieves the operation. She is feeling much more better. The doctors told me the operation was successful, but because her old age she had to stay in hospital for other two weeks. The doctors also say it was quite necessary for him to do so. We expect to get a full report in two and three days. Please tell the good news to the rest of the family as soon as possible. You need’t come here. I’m able to look at mother by myself. You can send some flower to her. She will feel very happily.

Yours,

Xiaohua

【题目】根据短文内容，从下面所给的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段(1-5)主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。

A. Give more aid to weak schools.

B. Children should share the same educational rights.

C. Heavy load is supposed to be taken off the students’ shoulders.

D. Bring the industrial management of education to an end.

E. Balanced education may stop school choice.

F. Key schools and classes are unreasonable.

【1】 Education should be intended to make better citizens instead of making money. Money can be earned by starting business. It’s time to abolish(废除，消灭) the industrialized education so that all the people can benefit from real education.

【2】 Concrete（具体的） measures should be taken to lessen the students’ heavy burden. Not empty talks but concrete and solid policies can make sure all the students grow soundly.

【3】 My parents are farmer-turned workers. I think we should be treated equally with the local children. We should have equal chance to go to both the local public schools and take the national college entrance exam rather than go back to our native places.

【4】 School choice has become a serious educational problem. To solve this problem, we must stick to the balanced development. The government should offer more support to weak schools and have all the teachers exchange their work among all the schools.

【5】 The government’s unwillingness to spend enough money on education makes key schools turn to parents for money to build new buildings and increase teachers’ income, widening the gap between key schools and common schools. Therefore, in order to realize the balance of education, the government should offer more help to weak schools.

【题目】In today’s competitive economy, ______ everyone is trying to do more with less, you’ve got to figure out a way to profit from the very beginning.

A. which B. that C. how D. where
