The history of Teachers' Day traces back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC － 220 AD). According to the record, during the Han and Jin dynasties, on August 27 each year, the birthday of Confucius, the emperor would go to the Confucius' temple and pay tribute (敬意) to the ancient philosopher followed by court officials, and would also invite royal teachers to the imperial court for a banquet. On this day, teachers around the nation enjoyed a day's vacation and were given dried meat as gifts.
The capital, all states and counties would also hold ceremonies to worship Confucius. Excellent performing teachers would be chosen from academies and learning institutions nationwide, reporting to the royal court and given 500 liang (两) silver coins as awards.
Until the Qing Dynasty, the ceremony, on August 27, was of a larger scale. The teachers' salaries in schools and academies around the nation were raised, and well performing teachers would be awarded official titles or promoted to higher positions.
Normally, an ancient teacher's income included salary, accommodation and festival gifts. There was no fixed tuition fee. Generally the parents paid teachers according to their household income. Both money and basic foodstuff could be paid in exchange for tuition.
In private schools, teachers always received money or gifts from the host family at certain festivals or at the beginning and end of each semester.
The festivals in which teachers received gifts varied from region to region, while the most valued ones were the Duanwu, Mid Autumn and Chinese New Year festivals, as well as Confucius' birthday and the private tutor's birthday.
Among all the gift giving festivals, the first meeting gift was a must. When students met their private tutors for the first time, they had to kneel down to Confucius' spirit tablet and then to their private tutors, before presenting a “gift”．

Does Happiness Have a Scent
When someone is happy, can you smell it
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness Surprising new research suggests that happiness does have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell.
For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain_from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, obviously because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling.
“When a person is happy, his sweat brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，” said study co author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate (分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies (香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
7．What is the main finding of the new research
A．Men produce more sweats.
B．Women are more sensitive to emotional signaling.
C．Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
D．Negative emotions have a smell.
8．The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．practice B．avoid
C．try D．enjoy
9．What is a potential application of the new research
A．Perfumes could help people get closer to each other.
B．Scent therapies could be produced to cure physical diseases.
C．Some smells could help us fight against psychological problems.
D．Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
10．Which of the following statements would the writer probably agree with
A．Social surroundings can influence our emotions.
B．Women can definitely smell one's happiness because of their better sense.
C．Positive feelings have already been proved to have a smell before.
D．Researchers have developed happiness perfumes and scent therapies.

Many years ago my grandfather had a small farm and chickens. One morning he sent me out to collect fresh eggs. He became concerned when I didn't return after a short interval. When he came looking for me I jumped with joy, but he saw tears in my eyes and noticed that I was in an empty chicken_house.
Noticing I was not in a good mood he asked, “What was wrong？” I told him tearfully, “That dirty rooster,_who was now gentle, in my grandfather's presence, came pecking (啄食) after me and all the hens started cackling (咯咯叫), which scared me, and I ran into the next hen house for safety.” He took me by my hand and we walked right by the now quiet dirty rooster and comfortable hens. We sat under the apple tree, and he related the following story. “Did you notice how that rooster and hens behaved when I came_in Totally different than when you first came in.” I shouted, “The rooster and hens seemed to come at me.”
My grandfather then said, “That's a new rooster the neighbor gave me. All your life you are going to come across people who will act like that rooster and hens. Only in different ways! It's natural for that rooster to protect his house and his hens. The rooster is the leader and the hens are followers. Same with people! It doesn't matter whether they are men or women. There will always be people who will try to lead your life and if you let them, you will become like the hens.”
“But to be the leader, you have to first be able to lead your own life and be the rooster of your actions. You can be like the rooster leading the hens. Most of us in life are followers, like the hens and some stay hidden in their own chicken houses, like you did.”

Does Happiness Have a Scent
When someone is happy, can you smell it
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness Surprising new research suggests that happiness does have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell.
For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain_from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, obviously because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling.
“When a person is happy, his sweat brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，” said study co author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate (分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies (香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
语篇解读：最新的一项研究表明，愉快的心情是有气味的，并且这种气味能够被人们所感知。
7．What is the main finding of the new research
A．Men produce more sweats.
B．Women are more sensitive to emotional signaling.
C．Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
D．Negative emotions have a smell.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“Surprising new research suggests that happiness does have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell.”可知，新的研究表明，快乐是有气味的，并能够被人们闻到。故选C项。
8．The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．practice B．avoid
C．try D．enjoy
解析：选B 词义猜测题。由第三段第二句“All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers ...”可知，所有参加实验的人员必须是健康的。由此可推断，研究期间，他们不能喝酒和吃味道大的食物，以免影响研究结果。故选B项。
9．What is a potential application of the new research
A．Perfumes could help people get closer to each other.
B．Scent therapies could be produced to cure physical diseases.
C．Some smells could help us fight against psychological problems.
D．Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.

Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Tins of cooling ointment (清凉油) have become a currency for Chinese traveling in Egypt.
__36__ (visit) the complex of ancient temples at Karnak, Chinese tourist Mr. Ye lost his way among the stone churches and pillars.
An Egyptian guide gave him directions. To show his __37__ (appreciate), Mr. Ye handed him a small red tin the size of a large coin. Inside __38__ (be) a cooling ointment that has the function of refreshing mind and preventing pain. Mr. Ye brought 50 tins with him on his six day tour to hand out as tips.
“Before I came to Egypt, the tourism agency told me __39__ (repeat) to bring the cooling balm as a gift to make the trip __40__ (easy)，” said Mr. Ye, a 25 year old __41__ family sells Chinese medicine online. Egyptians, he said, are very nice to Chinese tourists, __42__ they love this little gift.
Egyptians sometimes demand the balm by running a thumb across their foreheads. Li Xiaodong, an Egyptologist at China's Northeast Normal University, believes Chinese travelers initially brought the cooling balm for __43__ (person) use because it's very hot in Egypt, and then __44__ (discover) Egyptians liked it.
Some Chinese tourists said giving gifts was better than handing over money. “If you give essential balm, __45__ is more like you're giving it to friends，” said one Chinese tourist.
语篇解读：前往埃及旅游的中国游客必定会带上清凉油并把它们作为小费送给当地人。没想到在中国随处可见的清凉油竟然成了埃及人们眼中的宝贝。
36．Visiting 考查非谓语动词。中国游客叶先生在参观卡纳克神庙时，在石头教堂和石柱间迷路了。这里visit动作是Mr. Ye发出的，故用现在分词形式作状语。
37．appreciation 考查名词。一位埃及导游给他指了路。为了表达谢意，叶先生送给了导游一个硬币大小的红色锡盒。show是及物动词，后面接名词作宾语。
38．was 考查动词的时态及主谓一致。盒子里面便是有提神醒脑、镇痛作用的清凉油。本句以Inside开头，使用了倒装结构。因此，谓语的单复数取决于后面就近的主语a cooling ointment, 而且事情是发生在过去，故填was。
39．repeatedly 考查副词。在来埃及之前，旅行社反复告诉他，为使旅途更轻松要带上清凉油做礼物。这里要用副词来修饰动词told。
40．easier 考查比较级。这里指有了清凉油，在埃及的旅途就会更轻松，故用比较级。
41．whose 考查定语从句。25岁的叶先生家里就是在网上卖中药的。Mr. Ye后面接了一个定语从句，family前缺少定语，所以用whose来引导。
42．and 考查连词。埃及人对中国游客非常好，而且他们很喜欢这样的小礼物。前后句显然是并列关系，故用and。
43．personal 考查形容词。中国东北师范大学埃及古物学者李晓东认为，中国游客一开始把清凉油带到埃及，是为了方便个人使用。personal意思是“个人的”，为形容词。
44．discovered 考查动词的时态。中国游客一开始把清凉油带到埃及是为了方便个人使用，但后来发现埃及人喜欢清凉油。根据“... brought ... and then ...”可知，bring和discover 属于并列的谓语动词，都是讲过去的事情，故使用一般过去时。
45．it 考查代词。如果你送清凉油，就像是给朋友送礼物。这里用代词it来指代前句“送清凉油这件事情”。

Arrange your daily timetable properly and obey it strictly. Never stay up too late because the right amount of sleep can make you energetic. Try to achieve a proper balance between work and play, as the proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Finally, you should take some exercise and most importantly, be in a good mood every day.

Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Many years ago my grandfather had a small farm and chickens. One morning he sent me out to collect fresh eggs. He became concerned when I didn't return after a short interval. When he came looking for me I jumped with joy, but he saw tears in my eyes and noticed that I was in an empty chicken_house.
Noticing I was not in a good mood he asked, “What was wrong？” I told him tearfully, “That dirty rooster,_who was now gentle, in my grandfather's presence, came pecking (啄食) after me and all the hens started cackling (咯咯叫), which scared me, and I ran into the next hen house for safety.” He took me by my hand and we walked right by the now quiet dirty rooster and comfortable hens. We sat under the apple tree, and he related the following story. “Did you notice how that rooster and hens behaved when I came_in Totally different than when you first came in.” I shouted, “The rooster and hens seemed to come at me.”
My grandfather then said, “That's a new rooster the neighbor gave me. All your life you are going to come across people who will act like that rooster and hens. Only in different ways! It's natural for that rooster to protect his house and his hens. The rooster is the leader and the hens are followers. Same with people! It doesn't matter whether they are men or women. There will always be people who will try to lead your life and if you let them, you will become like the hens.”
“But to be the leader, you have to first be able to lead your own life and be the rooster of your actions. You can be like the rooster leading the hens. Most of us in life are followers, like the hens and some stay hidden in their own chicken houses, like you did.”
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
“That doesn't mean that the rooster in us is bad or dirty, like the one you just experienced.
Paragraph 2：
Then he did the smartest move.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
“That doesn't mean that the rooster in us is bad or dirty, like the one you just experienced. That's just the way some people naturally are, at least in their own minds. But did you notice the respect and the way he quieted down when I came_in He saw me in his sense as a bigger, stronger and probably smarter rooster than he is, which I am and so are you. But you didn't think or believe it strong enough for him to feel. Next time before you walk in, believe that the rooster is just a tiny, sweet chick, and those hens are laying beautiful golden eggs that we can have for breakfast.”
Paragraph 2：
Then he did the smartest move. He took me back to the chicken house, walked away and said, “Now go in and pick those golden eggs for breakfast.” Strangely, even while I was still scared,_I bravely walked into the chicken_house,_ignored the rooster and picked up our golden eggs for breakfast.
