Coming to the end of my assistantship (助教) in Barcelona, I start to think about what the future might hold.

H【3】, after a couple of weeks, the excitement started to go away. And I 【4】(begin) to miss my hometown a lot. It was such powerful homesickness (想家) that I spent 【5】 (much) than a few nights thinking about going back.
All that started to change after I spent some good time 【6】 my new friends, practicing languages, eating together and seeing new places. I suppose we should never forget how important it is to have good people in【7】(we) life, because they can make such 【8】difference. Coming back to Barcelona after visiting home for Christmas felt like returning to a【9】(two) home, to a place that was mine with people I cared about.
Now, looking forward, I have some 【10】 (decide) to make. My advice from my experience so far is to try new things whenever you can. You may find something new!

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者去巴萨罗那助教的经历，由一开始的兴奋到思乡到最后把巴萨罗那当成自己的第二个家。作者的经历建议大家不断尝试新的东西，你会找到新的东西。
【1】句意：我到这儿已经七个月零几天了。
现在完成时态中，since/for+时间；I arrived here是时间点，所以用since，自从。故答案填since。
【2】句意：当我第一次来到这里，我是如此的兴奋和紧张，在一个我爱的国家开始新的冒险。
I was so后跟形容词，excite加后缀d表示人很兴奋。故答案填excited。
【3】句意：然而，几周后，兴奋的情绪开始消退。
根据句意以及首字母提示可知，空格处表示“然而”，however。故答案填However。
【4】句意：而且我开始非常想家。
描述过去的经历，一般过去时，所以动词begin要用过去式。故答案填began。
【5】句意：如此强烈的乡愁以至于我花了不止多个夜晚考虑回家。
根据than说明用比较级，much的比较级是more；more than多于，超过。故答案填more。
【6】句意：在我和新朋友们度过一段愉快的时光后，一切都开始改变了。
根据句意表示和朋友一起，介词with和……一起。故答案填with。
【7】句意：我认为我们不应该忘记在我们的生活中有好人是多么的重要。
形容词性物主代词后跟名词life，所以主格we要变成形容词性物主代词：我们的our。故答案填our。
【8】句意：因为他们能产生如此巨大的不同。
固定搭配，产生不同make a difference。故答案填a。
【9】句意：回家过完圣诞节回到巴塞罗那，感觉就像回到了自己第二个家。
根据句意表示第二个，基数词two要变成序数词。故答案填second。
【10】句意：现在，展望未来，我要做些决定。
一些后跟可数名词复数形式，动词decide要变成名词决定decision，是可数名词，所以用复数形式。故答案填decisions。
短文填空，除了考查学生的词汇基础，还有语法能力，如时态。如第1题，题干是现在完成时结构，时间词有since和for，since后跟时间点，for后跟时间段，所以填since；如第4题，因为整个历程发生在过去，所以用一般过去时，动词也要用过去式。

Importance of feeling valued Long before differentiation (区分) was used in education, I was lucky enough to have two teachers who gave me meaningful tasks that were different from my classmates’. I was able to explore in my own way. I learned a lot for sure, but what I really learned was that I was valued as an individual (个人). Now I am a teacher and I differentiate so that my students can learn. They, too, are valued as individuals. — Lorraine Jacques, Connecticut |
Seeing a bright future In the 8th grade, my art teacher, Mrs. Griffin, changed me by saying the following words, “I do not want you to invite me to your high school graduation. I want you to invite me to your college graduation.” Eight years later, I became the first person in my family to graduate from college. When I sent out invitations to my college graduation ceremony, Mrs. Griffin was the first person on my list. — Angela Estrella, California |
▲ In school, I learned not to take no for an answer. In high school, a favorite teacher told me that I would never win a public-speaking contest. It made me so mad that I entered a national contest and won first in the state and third in the nation. I keep my public-speaking medals in my bookcase as a reminder that there is always a way. We should not let anyone else decide what we can achieve. — Lori L. Batts, Maryland |

Lots of kids like to play computer and mobile games these days. Is this good or bad for us? How do we deal with this issue?
In my opinion, playing games responsibly (负责任地) can help us relax. As the old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” For example, when I finish five days of studying, I feel tired. That’s when I like to play a game called King of Glory with my classmates.
We all have lots of fun playing and talking about it. When we win, we feel happy. And when we lose, we still want to play more. I think that’s why so many students in our school like to play this game. It can not only help us relax, but also strengthen our friendship.
In addition, playing games can exercise our brains and help us think more quickly. When we start to play a new game, we’re not very good at it. But we can get better through practice. This process exercises our brains and makes them more active. However, you should make sure that you have finished all of your homework before you play games.
Still, some students seem like they are addicted (上瘾的) to games. They can’t control themselves and will play games for five hours a day. That is not good. It’s bad for not only their eyes, but also their health. They will feel tired in class the next day, which will affect (影响) their studies. That’s not very responsible.
Therefore, I can only say that we should try to be self-disciplined (自律的) and responsible when working out how much time we should spend playing video games.
