Age has never been a problem for 16 year old Thessalonika Arzu Embry. After all, she's already got her master's degree.
The North Chicago area teen started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational (鼓舞人心的) speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor's degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.
She doesn't stop there, though. The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off—a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it's a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.

One of the hardest things to do when you are a small child is to start school, and have a new teacher every year. I remember when I was in the fourth grade, there were tons of rumours (谣言) about my teacher. They said that he would hit kids with erasers. Nothing_could_be_farther_from_the_truth,_and to this day I still remember him as one of those people who really helped me in life.
One of the things that you can do to help your kids get ready for a new teacher is to go to meet him or her before the year starts. This allows students to know who the teacher is, and break the ice.
It is common for students to be fearful of the teacher for the first few days. Maybe he or she looks scary (可怕的). However, as a parent, you need to teach your kids that teachers are people too, and that they want nothing but the best for students in life.
If your child is still having trouble adjusting to (适应) a teacher, you could ask your child to be taught by a different teacher.
Adjusting to teachers can be an uncertain thing for a young child. Whether your child knows nothing about this person, or maybe he has heard a rumour about him, it can be a scary thing. As a parent, all you can do is to make sure that your children know the teacher is there to help, not be scary.
5.When the author was in the fourth grade, he ________.
A.liked his teacher very much
B.got little help from his teacher
C.got along well with his classmates
D.was hit by his teacher with erasers
6.What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean
A.Nothing can be true in the world.
B.Truth lies in the rumours.
C.What they said was wrong.
D.They did well in their lessons.
7.At the beginning of the school year, kids are most probably ________.
A.excited B.fearful
C.surprised D.proud
8.This passage is mainly written for ________.
A.teachers B.parents
C.students D.kids

Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.
The woman, 85 year old Janet Fein, received her bachelor's degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018.
Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology.
Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary.
After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her life, including being a secretary at a Dallas hospital. That is the job she retired from in 2011. She received an associate degree (专科学位) in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor's degree. Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texas.
She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she required oxygen. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.
Renee Brown is one of Fein's caregivers. She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her, “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.”
9.When did Janet Fein start to work
A.In 1933. B.In 1950.
C.In 1995. D.In 2012.
10.What does she study for her bachelor's degree
A.Sociology. B.Secretary.
C.History. D.Health.
11.What does the underlined word “inspired” probably mean in the last paragraph
A.Shock. B.Disappoint.
C.Employ. D.Encourage.
D
One Moore Elementary School teacher is showing students the importance of communication through “shout outs”.
The third grade teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout out is a compliment (称赞) that students can say or write down. “Like, ‘Hey, I noticed you doing a really great job solving your maths problems yesterday. I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that,’” Winders said.
Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout outs to her students every day. “I might write them a sticky note, or write them a quick little note in their planner. I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom. But most importantly, I try to do it every day,” Winders said.
In addition to the compliments, Winders has the students greet each other every morning during the morning meeting. She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings (场景). A third grade student Nayelli Moranchel said he had given at least six shout outs this year. “It makes me happy, because they always write something back,” Moranchel said.
Recently, Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalised note on each of her students' desks. “In our classroom, sometimes it can be challenging for me to give a compliment or a shout out to each and every one of them in a way that is equal and valuable at the same time. So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desks that can stay for as long as they want it to,” Winders said.
Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act and give each other compliments without her guidance.
12.How does Winders show her students the importance of compliments
A.By helping them take notes.
B.By making practical plans for them.
C.By serving as a daily example herself.
D.By greeting them during the morning meeting.
13.What is the best way that Winders finds to give her students compliments
A.Leaving a note on each student's desk.
B.Praising them as long as they want it.
C.Explaining the value of compliments.
D.Giving them shout outs at the same time.
14.What can we infer about Winder's way of praising students
A.It is very successful.
B.It is facing challenges.
C.It needs proper guidance.
D.It is copied by other teachers.
15.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Giving a shout out.
B.Solving maths problems.
C.Teaching important lessons.
D.Writing down the names of students.

第二节 故事续写(25分)
The Voice of Rigo
Rigo had a_loud_voice. People were always telling Rigo to be quiet. His mother would tell him to use his quiet voice inside the_house because the baby was asleep. His_father would ask him to speak quietly in the car so that he could concentrate on his driving. His teacher would tell him to talk quietly so he would not bother others who were studying.
Not only did he have a loud voice, but Rigo liked to talk a lot. Whenever he had time, he would talk with his classmates, sharing everything he considered fun. He liked to yell and shout.Sometimes he just yelled, “Hey!” for no reason. He liked the sound of his very loud voice for he thought it had more penetrating (穿透的) power than that of an_actor. But not everyone felt the same way.
When Rigo shouted goodbye as he left for school, his mother shook her head, “Rigo! Be quiet!” When his father drove him to school, Rigo said, “Hey! There's Chris!” He pointed at his friend, who was walking to school. His father shook his head. “Rigo, use a quiet voice in the car.” At school, his teacher talked to him three times about using his quiet voice. His classmates shook their heads, throwing an upset look at him when he talked aloud.
Later, Rigo had to sit by himself for a while. His teacher wanted him to practice being quiet. Rigo had to sit quietly for five minutes. It felt like five hours or five days. When the five minutes was up, Rigo went to his desk and sat quietly. It was not easy.
After school, Rigo was waiting for his father when he saw Chris again. “Hey!” he yelled. “Chris! Hey!” The_headmaster was walking by. Rigo was sure he was going to get in trouble for his loud voice. He looked quickly at the ground. Maybe the headmaster would keep walking.

Paragraph 1:
The headmaster stopped and looked at Rigo. He waited at the roadside until Rigo raised his head. Confusingly, it seemed as if the_headmaster had found a great treasure. Rigo twisted uneasily. “Do you like acting?” asked the headmaster. “I've never seen an_actor who speaks louder than you. You're sure to become an extraordinary actor.” “Me An extraordinary actor?” Rigo couldn't believe his ears. “Yes, you,” the headmaster said. “A good actor must be able to speak aloud on the stage to make himself heard by everyone of his audience. You can do that!” At that moment, Rigo saw his_father. “By the way, a good actor knows he should use his quiet voice off the stage,” added the headmaster.
Paragraph 2:
He said goodbye to the headmaster and ran to get in his father's car cheerfully. “Dad, the headmaster said I was going to become an extraordinary actor!” he yelled proudly. The next second, he seemed to remember what the headmaster had told him, and lowered his voice, “Yes, I know when to speak at a_loud_voice.” His father was surprised at his change. Rigo then told him what happened just now and promised he would practice speaking quietly. Pleased, his father smiled, “Yes, you're to become an extraordinary actor, for yourself, and for the headmaster. ”
