A
The moment Dana stood up from her seat, the crowd at the airport rushed forward. The passengers had been waiting for a couple of hours for an airline employee to open the door leading to the plane outside. And no one was in a good mood. While the crowd was moving, an old man got trapped in the middle of the rush. He fell down without being able to break his fall. His head hit the concrete floor. Blood flooded from his forehead. He appeared to be unconscious. Everyone rushed past him, except for Dana. She called for help.
A minute later, a young airline employee showed up. Hardly looking at the old man, she told Dana to get aboard her plane. She said the old man would be okay, and walked away.
Dana screamed for help. An airport supervisor (管理人员) appeared. He also told Dana to get on the plane. Dana said that she was not moving until an ambulance arrived. The supervisor said her plane would leave without her. Dana said that she didn’t care.
An ambulance and two nurses finally arrived. The nurses said that the man would be okay, but he would need some treatment. They put him into the ambulance and drove off.
On her way out to the plane, which was still refueling, Dana saw the employee who had firstly ignored the old man. The employee said, “You’re lucky the plane didn't leave without you.”

Are you good with money? I learned to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some?pocket money?and tell me it should last for a whole week. So, I learned I had to save some if I didn’t want to?run out of cash?quickly. No surprise there: my dad was an
accountant!
It’s never too early to become?money savvy. That’s what British?personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He is part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school lessons in England. It will be?planted in maths and citizenship education. This includes children from 5 to 16 years old. Lewis says: “We eagerly need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(无知) in the UK” Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be?saving and refuses any suggestion that he is?tight. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express: “the better you are with your cash, the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely.” The British say ‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves’. It means you have to watch your daily?expenses?and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.
Being careful with money?pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to make up for a large number of people who were persuaded to?part with their cash?and buy
insurance policies?(保单)they didn’t need. Many wasted their money on investments(投资) which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the?small print.

A. Martin Lewis is a maths teacher good at financial education.
B. Martin Lewis is a successful personal finances expert.

The Origin of Christmas
Since about 400 AD, Christmas day has been celebrated on 25th December. This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christian times, around the time of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions: Christmas presents, trees, cards, etc.
Presents and shopping
Shops can make about 60 per cent of their year’s income in the three months before Christmas. So most shops get ready for it in October. The shopping centres are beautifully decorated and stay open late at night. The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy’s, a famous shop in new York, stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve (24th December).
Trees
By mid-December, almost every house, shop and street has a Christmas tree. This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 AD. In the northern countries of the world, winter is cold and dark and most trees lose their leaves. The beautiful green trees decorated with lights and coloured glass balls give people hope that spring will come again.
Cards
The tradition of sending cards to friends was started in 1840 in the UK and now millions of Christmas cards and emails are sent all round the world. Cards are a good way of keeping in touch with family and friends who live far away.
Father Christmas
Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bags of toys. Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them. By tradition, he brings the toys to children at midnight, on the night before Christmas.
Food
On Christmas day a traditional meal is eaten, usually turkey and a rich, spicy cake. Some people hate Christmas. Others feel it is a magical and exciting time. They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions. Love it or hate it, Christmas is a time to look back over the old year — and forward to the new one.
11. The best title of this passage is probably _____.
A. Christmas Traditions B. Christmas Histories
C. Original Christmas D. Colorful Christmas
12. Christmas is important for shops because _____.
A. they are beautifully decorated and stay open late at night
B. much of their income is made around Christmas time
C. almost every house, shop and street has a Christmas tree
D. Christmas day has been celebrated on 25th December
The benefit of sending cards is _____.
A. to keep in touch with family and friends
B. to introduce friends and family far away
C. to express one’s friendship and happiness
D. to send greeting emails to friends and family
14. We know from the passage that Father Christmas is _____.
A. a real person who lives in Finland
B. a character in a film on Christmas
C. a magical story for small children
D. a popular father across the world
15. According to the last paragraph, Christmas is _____.
A. a magical and exciting time for all people
B. a special time to have a traditional party
C. a rich, spicy cake shared by family and friends
D. loved by some people and hated by others

Byron Court, a school in north-west London, gets high marks for integration(融合). No fewer than 42 languages are spoken in the playground. The 600 pupils from places as far apart as Iraq, the Philippines, Somalia, India, Romania and Slovakia?study and play together.
Many of these children spoke no English at all when they arrived in the UK aged five to eight years old. But they learn quickly. Martine Clark, the school’s executive?head teacher, believes that unity is very important. She says: “It’s important there’s no?difference?between any languages or any culture. We do that by celebrating?the diversity of the culture in our school. The children that come to Byron Court are?adaptable(能适应新环境的). Having such a variety of backgrounds makes them better learners. Some have struggled, not always understanding instructions in the classroom. But after a few years, many have turned the disadvantage of not speaking English into the advantage of being bilingual (双语的).”
However,?educational standards?can suffer when not everyone speaks the same language, at least to begin with. Though according to Martyn Pendergast, an education officer at Brent Council, this doesn’t last for long: “It takes time to learn English and in Brent our children perform just below the national average when they are?valued at seven years old. But by the time they’re 11 they’ve caught up with national standards and at 16 they’re flying”.
Those who don’t speak English but are used to?discipline?often progress rapidly. But some are concerned about children who are native speakers of English. Christopher McGovern, the chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, says: “The problem is not the migrant children. The problem is the white?working class?children who are doing very badly at school.” McGovern believes many parents think a lot of attention is given to migrant children, while their own children are being?neglected(忽视).
16. Which of the following is referred to in this passage?
A. Children adapt quickly to new environments.?
B. Children who come to a new country feel nervous.
C. Children from every part of the world are competing here.
D. Children who don’t obey the displine?often progress rapidly.
17. Which of the following is the opinion of Martyn Pendergast?
A. No fewer than 42 languages are spoken in the playground.
B. It’s important that there’s no?difference?between any languages.
C. It takes time for children to learn English but at 16 they’re flying.
D. The problem is the white?working class?children are being?neglected.
18. The underlined words “the migrant children” in the last paragraph refer to___________.
A. children who can speak several foreign languages.
B. children whose performances are quite good at school.
C. children whose parents are working at home and abroad.
D. children who were not born in the country where they are living.
19. What type of writing is this text?
A. An announcement. B. A report.
C. An advertisement. D. An experiment.
20. Where can you read this text?
A. In an education magazine. B. In a school announcement.
C. In an official exhibition. D. In a section of business.

Night after night, she came to say goodnight to me, even long after my childhood 21 . Following her usual custom, she’d lean down and 22 my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
　　I don’t 23 when it first started annoying me---her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I cried out at her: “Don’t do that 24 — your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say anything 25 .　But never again did my mother 26 me with that familiar expression of her love. But due to my self-pride, I didn’t tell her I was 27 .

My own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special 32 , I find myself sleep next door to 33 the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a/an 34 hand hesitantly brushed the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so 35 , touched my brow.
　 In my 36 , for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my rudely young voice complained. 37 Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was 38 . She had forgotten—and forgiven—long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her 39 hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was 40 to be found.

Besides, high school life is a time to learn how to live and we should improve our ability to live independently.
