A (2013湖南师大附中第一学段考试)
The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
36. The aim of the mother’s plan was to _________.
A. take them to visit the museum B. introduce them to the world of art
C. ask them to read about artists D. show them different painting styles

C. the value of learning D. the power of family education

An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove（火炉）and thus cause a fire.
They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.
When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”
“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”
“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”
“Come now, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”

51 When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. 52 Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them.
53 Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. 54 Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided. 55 .
A. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help.
B. Whether good or not habit are, they are easy to get rid of.
C. We ought to keep from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.
D. Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.
E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habbits.
F. These are all easily formed habits.
G. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.

The pool was filled with child. I put on my bathing suit and tried to swim. But after a minute I had to get out of. A hundred very small pair of legs and arms were splashing（溅起水花）all round me. I returned to a bank and looked out the ocean in peace. Ah, now this was really pleasant. Look at a large fish jumping in and out of the waves, I wandered what kind it was.

One possible version:
Good afternoon, everyone,
Hundreds of millions of students from primary, middle schools and universities all over China joined in a national student sports program. Eleven million students in Shandong took an active part in this program.
The ministry of Education calls on students to exercise for an hour every day, in the hope that they will have good health to work fifty years and enjoy the whole life.
Personally, I think it a good idea for us senior students to have daily exercise. Although we take an hour a day for exercise, it is well worth it. Taking exercise helps us build up our body and keep a clear mind. Therefore we can work more efficiently.
Thank you!
