Keeping pace with teachers is a good way to study.Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic.But remember to work in a way that suits you.It's also important to learn from past mistakes.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make --- it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.

B.Zhang Zilu, 17, Xinyu No 1 High School, Jiangxi

This time of life may be hard, but you're not alone.You may be busy studying, but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending a short message.Don't let your friendships die.Some boys and girls in my class were in love, but I'd advise against a relationship at this stage.

C. Zhan Yu, 17, Huanggang High School, Hubei

        It’s as important to live well as it is to study well, I think. I went to bed no later than 11:30 pm. It put me in the right mood for the next day. I didn’t follow a special diet (饮食), but I did make sure I ate a nutritious breakfast each day.

D. Ju Shuntian, 18, Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone Senior High School, Shandong

        The person who plays well, studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn’t mean having to give up on every other activity. I played basketball or took a walk to relax when I felt tired. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.

E. Zhang Qingzhou, 17, Dongtai High School, Jiangsu

Besides taking the big exam, you have other choices for college. I took the independent enrollment (自主招生) exam held by Peking University and some other students even  prepared to study abroad. Pay attention to any relevant information you can find, whether it’s from school, the news media or other sources.

F. Wu Dandan, 18 , Liaocheng No. 1 High School, Shandong

Besides learning from the textbooks, students can also learn a lot from traveling from place to place. In different places you will see different things, meet different people and have different experiences. If you are curious enough, you can explore deeper into the area and obtain more useful information, which serves as your new knowledge.

下面是同学各自感兴趣的内容或需要解决的问题,请配对他们最适合参加的讨论组。

56. Zhang Xu is an active and energetic boy who enjoys many sports like swimming, football, badminton, cycling and jogging. He has a lot of friends at school and they often spend a lot of time on rivers, fields and mountains. Is it good to spend so little time in the library? How to allocate time between academic lectures and outing? That's his problem.

57.Xiao Lili has much difficulty in catching up with her classmates in chemistry and physics. But her superiority lies in music and English, so she is dreaming of becoming a professional singer. She hopes that her strong points can help pave her way to future success. "Can I go to a musical college without taking NMET?" she wonders.

58.Guo Jie is a hardworking boy but, unfortunately, he gets low marks in every test. He is always busy with his own study plan. When he didn’t finish his work the earlier day, he will bury his mind in his work to fulfill his plan, ignoring the teacher’s lectures. “How can I raise my marks?” he is puzzled.

59.Song Siwei is a slim and pretty girl, who works hard at all her lessons. But she was so absorbed in her studies that she is even unwilling to tear herself off at meal times. She is always the last to leave the classroom and the first to arrive. She starts to feel dizzy and have headaches. “What might happen to me?” she wonders.

60.Zhang Lan is a charming girl who is active both in the classroom and on the sports field. She is kind to all her classmates. Some boys in her class tend to talk to her at every possible opportunity and even invite her to meals. That makes her pleased but costs her quite some time. She doesn’t know whether it is right to accept kindness from the boys.

    Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road towards goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

    For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.

    Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

    But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had to take him with me.

    That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour and let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

    We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass, or just simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water. Here was life. And new horizons.

    We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories

    I grew brave with the trip back home. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and I found the best of myself.

B. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health                                

C. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life

D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals

I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.

Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.

Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.

Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies — and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?

    Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.

In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.

I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?

46. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?

A. He’s running his company.                      B. He’s playing golf all day.

C. He’s looking for another job.                          D. He’s playing computer games.

47. Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text?

A. Fred.                    B. Andy.                  C. Liz.      D. Chris.

48. According to the text, Facebook tends to ______.

A. present another side of people                       B. offer some food for free

C. show endless advertisements                        D. get you to more parties

49. The text is developed mainly by ______.

A. giving examples                                        B. following the time order   

C. listing figures                                           D. raising questions

50. The author focuses on the question of ______.

A. what is Facebook                         B. what happened to golf  

C. who is my real friend                      D. who can help me

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be overwhelming and sometimes confusing.
    October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
    However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?
     Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years.
    Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers' Week:
   - Learn rules. Make sure you are aware of British social etiquette. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

   - Be hospitable. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
   - Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves their room.
   - Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you're friendly.

President Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket.

      “I just miss---I miss being anonymous,” he said. “I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk”

        His dream, he said, was to “go through Central Park and watch folks passing by…spend the day watching people --- I miss that”.

Faced with angry criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all. “It's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours.” he told Hearst magazines.

Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disappointed with some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed in his pledge to change, such as the "kabuki dance" among political parties before serious policy discussions begin. His comments may be seen as vindication(证实)by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached(漠然), and being slow to engage in vital issues such as Libya and the near shutdown of the US government last week.

Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr. Obama has already racked up 60 rounds of golf in office, more than George W Bush did in his eight years.In terms of ability, Golf Digest magazine has ranked Mr. Obama eighth out of the 18 presidents who played the game since it became established in the early 20th century.

36. What do the second paragraph and the third paragraph mainly tell us?

       A. Obama likes living a busy life.

       B. Obama used to spend most of his time with his family.

       C. Obama wishes to enjoy simple pleasures.

     D. He used to wash his car himself.

37. According to Obama, he plays golf to        .

       A. release his pressure                                B. keep fit

       C. balance his work                   D. show his ability

38. We can infer from the passage that Obama is         kabuki dance.

       A. curious about                                           B. interested in

       C. content with                                              D. tired of

39. Which of the following statements is from the critics?

       A. The president lost lots of privacy, but he loves the life in the White House.

       B. There are always unnecessary procedures among political parties.

       C. The president seems to be indifferent towards some really important issues.

       C. The public's criticism of Obama.

       D. Obama's regrets for being the US president.

阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文

In junior high school, one of my classmates, Ethan, was addicted to TV. This boy simply knew everything about such pop shows as Who’s the Boss?

Then one day Ethan’s mother made him an offer in order to draw him back to his school subjects. She promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any TV. None of us thought Ethan could do it, but he did quit TV. His mom paid him $200. He went out and bought a TV, the biggest he could find.

       In recent years, hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kids with cash for showing up or getting good grades. All school kids admire this trend. But it upsets adults. Teachers say that we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own will. Psychologists warn that money can actually make kids perform worse by making the act of learning cheap.
