After graduating from Ontario College of Teachers, I became a teacher at a one-room country school in Aldborough Township.
That first day of school as a 19-year-old female teacher was a frightening experience. It was one thing to have graduated as a successful student; it was another thing to face a classroom of little faces that were waiting for the “new teacher.” I had a classroom of 21 children of different shapes and sizes. The youngest was five going on six and the eldest was 16.
There were two doors for entrance in my school, one for the girls, one for the boys and just inside each door was a chemical toilet—no outdoor facilities for us! The heat in the building was a wood-burning furnace(火炉) down in the basement. Tending the furnace was one of my responsibilities. Luckily, I knew a bit about starting a fire, so the school didn’t burn down.
What I found most difficult was that a parent might take a child out of school for any reason. I had one Dutch family, whose father would keep the children out of school to help with the farm work. Finally, I got tired of this and sent an education officer to solve the problem. Needless to say, I was very unpopular with that father from then on, but the children came to school much more regularly!
In the classroom, the older students helped the younger ones with learning, as well as with putting on coats and hats. If someone’s lunch was forgotten, everyone shared a bit of their food. We were a family. We had good times and bad times, but we kept learning. Far beyond maths, social studies, reading, grammar and writing, we learned how to get along with each other.
I loved teaching at this small school and knew I was teaching the children about life as much as about subjects. I’d like to believe some students will have an influence on the world that will last long after I am gone.
24．Why did the author feel her first day as a teacher frightening
A．So many students were in class. B．The situations were quite different.
C．No outdoor facilities were provided. D．The students were curious about her.
25．What do we know about the school
A．It was poorly equipped. B．The playground was large.
C．It was once damaged by a fire. D．The students were of similar age.
26．What was a headache for the author
A．A Dutch family hated her.
B．The students preferred farm work.
C．The education officer offered little help.
D．Some parents ignored children’s education.
27．What can be inferred from Paragraph 5
A．They cared about each other. B．They had an influence on the world.
C．They laughed away bad times. D．They did well in almost every subject.
C
When it comes to being fit and healthy, we're often reminded to aim to walk 1,000 steps every day. This can make many unhappy because it is a task difficult to achieve, especially when we're busy with work and other businesses--and yet where did this number actually come from
The 10,000 steps a day target sens to have come about from a trade name pedometer (计步器)sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called "Manpo-kei", which translates to"10,000 steps meter". This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It's even included in daily activity targets by popular smart watches,such as Fitbit.
Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that,on average, around 4,400 steps a day is enough to clearly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it's uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it's one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.
Recent research at the University of Texas has also shown that if you' re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person's likelihood of developing heart disease and diabetes. This is further supported by earlier research which showed people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.
If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you're working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk -- rather than in a cafe or pub -- can also be useful.
28. What does the author think of the 10,000 steps every day
A. It is hard to achieve for many people.
B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.
C. It is obviously good for women only.
D. It is helpful to slow fat metabolism.
29. What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target
A. It matters as much as 7,500 steps a day.
B. The more steps, the lower risk of death,
C. A bit more than the target can improve health.
D. About half that target appears to be enough.
30. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A. Absence of earlier research,
B. Recent findings of fat buildup.
C. Problems of less daily walking.
D. Possible causes of physical challenges.
31. Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage
A. Working at home. B. Treating friends in a cafe or pub.
C. Driving to work. D. Signing up for online exercise programs.
D
Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in.
Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things, do chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not and about what they're allowed to do.
Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up.
Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected.
32．What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers
A．Being strict from the start.
B．Developing a good relationship with them first.
C．Saying"No" to their requirements.
D．Avoiding close talks with them.
33．Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow
A．Doing some housework. B．Having a good reading habit.
C．Cleaning the bathroom. D．Finishing your homework by five.
34．What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean
A．In a hurry. B．On the plane. C．By oneself. D．Another day.
35．What's the best title for the text
A．Growing Pains B．Teenage Problems
C．Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D．Knowing the Conflict

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Society tells us that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But it doesn't have to be that way.A new study published in Human Development points out that using a childlike way of learning can help people of any age take on and deal with new difficult tasks. __36__.
Venture (冒险) outside your comfort zone. As adults, we tend to use similar skills day in and day out: We take jobs in fields we' re already good at, drive on the same roads to the same places, and fall into routines we re comfortable with. __37__ Changing to something more difficult may have more cognitive benefits.
__38___ A fear of making mistakes is another reason why adults are so slow to learn new things; if we try and fail, we can face criticism, lose money, or get fired. That's why it's important to build up a support network of people --- at work and at home --- who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.
Make a serious commitment and don't give up. _ 39 _ If you can afford it, spending money on a new goal --- for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian --- might also make it harder to just give up.
Learn more than one thing at once. We tend to pay attention to one hobby or one skill. But dividing that time and energy into three or four areas will stretch your brain in all different directions.__40__ For example, maybe you started learning a new language last year, and this year you add singing lessons, and next yer you try something else. You can add things gradually to what you can handle.
A. Turn to your friends and family.
B. The following ways will do the trick.
C. Surround yourself with encouraging people and no fear for mistakes.
D. Telling friends about your new goal can help keep you motivated.
E. But all this similar routine limits the parts of the brain that we’re using regularly.
F. That doesn't mean you should start all the new hobbies all at once, though.
G. So feeling comfortable can reduce stress and make you happier and more productive.

The Feel-Good Shoebox
Catherine sat on her bed with her chin in her hands. "Why aren't you getting ready for Grandma's birthday party " asked Mother.
"I can't bake(烘烤) like Sylvia or knit(编织) like Anne," Catherine grumbled. "They made good presents. All I made for her is an ugly card." It's a lovely card. And no one can be good at everything," said Mother. She sat on the bed next to Catherine. "When I was your age, I felt sad when I couldn't do certain things. But one day Grandma showed me the shoebox game, and it made me feel a lot better." Catherine frowned(皱眉), "How can a shoebox make me feel better " "You'll see," said Mother. She disappeared down the hall, then came back carrying a shoebox, a pencil, paper, and scissors.
Catherine watched as Mother cut several pieces of paper into squares. "Now, I want you to write down all the things you can do," said Mother. "Like what " asked Catherine. "Why not start with things you've learned in school Give it some thought while I ice Grandma's birthday cake."
Catherine sat for a while wrinkling(皱起) and unwrinkling her eyebrows. Slowly Catherine began to write and write. Before long she had written on every square of paper. She was so busy that she didn't hear Mother come into the room. "My goodness!" said Mother. "Do you think they'll all fit in the shoebox " "I hope so," said Catherine. "It was fun thinking of all the stuff I can do." "And the next time you feel sad because you can't do something, your feel-good shoebox will remind you of how much you can do—just as mine did when I was a little girl," said Mother. "Now let's finish getting dressed for Grandma's party."

Dear Elisa,
I’m glad to hear from you and share my high school life.
Life at senior high is very different from that at junior high. I have a busier schedule with different subjects such as Chinese, English, maths, and physics. My new teachers and classmates are friendly and supportive. We often take part in discussions and debates in class, allowing for a healthy exchange of ideas.
Thinking about the future, I hope to continue my studies in a famous university. I look forward to hearing about your life in the UK.

Paragraph 1:
"Happy birthday!" yelled the children when they arrived at Grandma's house. "I brought you cookies. I made them by myself," said Sylvia. "It is wonderful," said Grandma. Meanwhile, Anne quietly took out the scarf she knitted for Grandma. When Grandma saw it, she said proudly, "My baby, you are very handy. I like it very much." Catherine looked nervously at the card in her hand and wondered if Grandma would like it. At this time, Grandma looked at Catherine kindly and said gently, "I'm curious about what Catherine has prepared for me."
Paragraph 2:
Then Catherine gave her card to Grandma. When Grandma saw this card, she showed a big smile, "Wow, this is the most beautiful card I've ever seen." Grandma thanked the children again for their birthday gifts. They ate delicious cookies and spent a good night together. That night, when she lay in bed, Catherine thought about her feel-good shoebox and how it made her feel very good. Now, she feels that no matter what difficulties she encounters in the future, she can face them bravely as long as there is a feel-good s
