You cannot judge a book by looking at its cover! That’s what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this term.
When they came to school in September, the students were shocked to learn that their class teacher was to be a P. E. teacher. How could someone who teaches table tennis and basketball know anything about academics Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace “Miss Muscle” with a “Miss Brain”. However, the principal(校长) did not give in to the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.
After three months, the P. E. teacher, whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students active in their studies and participate in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is “pretty extraordinary”.
The early negative reaction against Miss Su is an example of bias(偏见). “Bias” is wrong in thinking that has an influence on a person’s opinions and decisions. For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men! ) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They’re just bias.

2. Why is Miss Su considered to be “pretty extraordinary”
A. She is an excellent P. E. teacher.

C. Careless. D. Curious.
三、阅读填句
The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds 1 And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some strategies.
Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. 2 Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss
Get real. 3 Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.
4 To maintain your weight, you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.
Weigh yourself weekly. It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don’t get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture. 5
A. Stay balanced.
B. Once a week is fine.
C. Stick with your healthy eating plan.
D. Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.
E. Being well informed will help you choose the best diet for you.
F. Regular weight check-ins will show you your progress over time.
G. If so, you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination.
