Mom was a teacher most of her life.When she wasn't in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren:correcting our grammar;starting us on collections of butterflies,flowers or rocks;or inspiring a discussion on her most recent "Book of the Month Club" topic.Mom made learning fun.
It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her illness in her later years.At eighty-five,she suffered a stroke(中风)and she went steadily(不断地)downhill after that.Two days before she died,my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair.While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back into bed,Mom fell asleep.Not wanting to wake her,we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.
After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us.We went to her side.
"Whirr," she said weakly.
"Where?" I asked."Mom,is there something you want?"
"Whirr," she repeated a bit stronger.
My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.Mom opened her eyes,sighed,and with all the energy she could gather said,"Not was,say were!"
It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim's last sentence."If it was up to me…"
Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek."Thanks,Mom," he whispered.We smiled at each other and once again shook our heads…this time in awe (敬畏) of a remarkable teacher.
4. When Mom said, "Whirr", what did she really want to do? ______
A. She wanted to tell her sons her will.
B. She wanted to have something to eat before she died.
C. She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking.

A child who suffers bullying(霸凌)usually has low self-respect and their ability to learn and be successful at school is greatly lessened.Therefore, bullying must be stopped.
The best and most obvious way to stop bullying in schools is for parents to change the way they treat their children at home.Of course,this is much easier said than done and everyone treats their children differently.Bullies,however,come from homes where physical punishment is used and children have been taught that physical violence is the way to handle problems and "get their way".Bullies usually also come from homes where the parents fight a lot,so they have been modeled on such violence. Parental involvement is often lacking in bullies' lives and there seems to be little warmth.
Early intervention(干预)is truly the best way to stop bullying, but parents of the victims or therapists(治疗师)cannot alter the bully's home environment.Some things can be done at the school level,however.
Most school programs that address bullying use a multi-faceted (多方面的) method to the problem. This usually involves the advice of some sort,either by peers, a school adviser, teachers, or the principal.
Hand out questionnaires to all students and teachers and discuss if bullying is occurring.Define exactly what constitutes(构成)bullying at school,The questionnaire is a wonderful tool that allows the school to see how widespread bullying is and what forms it is taking. It is a good way to start to solve the problem.
Get the children's parents involved in a bullying program. If parents of the bullies and the victims are not aware of what is going on at school, then the whole bullying program will not be effective. Stopping bullying in school takes teamwork and concentrated effort on everyone's part. Bullying also should be discussed during parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings. Parental awareness is the key.
In the classroom setting, all teachers should work with the students on bullying. Oftentimes even the teacher is being bullied in the classroom and a program should be set up to teach about bullying. Children understand modeling behaviors and role-play and acting out bullying situations is a very effective tool. Have students role-play a bullying situation.
8. In the author's opinion,bullies usually ______ .
A. have extremely high self-esteem
B. don't know the harm of violence
C. look forward to parental involvement
D. experience or witness violence at home
9. What does the underlined word "alter" in Paragraph 3 mean?______
A. know B. change C. remove D. compare
10. It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that it's important to ______ .
A. make a bullying program effective.
B. find the key to solving bullying at school
C. make parents aware of bullying at school
D. let parents know their children are bullies
11. What is the passage mainly about?______
A. How to stop bullying in schools.
B. What leads to violence in schools.
C. What parents can do to stop bullying.
D. How to comfort those who are bullied.
D
Of course,the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork,but that's only on the surface.Besides,in proper restaurants,you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork,if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough.The real difference is that in the West,you have your own plate of food,while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time,he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes,to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food(主食)ranging(包括) from rice,noodles to dumplings.If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes,you should say so in good time,for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.
Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests.In formal dinners,there are always public chopsticks and spoons for this purpose,but some hosts may use their own chopsticks.This is a sign of friendship and politeness.It is always polite to eat the food.If you do not eat it,just leave the food in the plate.
People in China tend to over order food,for they will find it embarrassing(尴尬的)if all the food is consumed(吃完).When you have had enough,just say so.Or you will always overeat!
12. The real difference on the dinner table between China and the West is that __.
A. you're treated to a formal dinner for the first time
B. on the Chinese dinner table,chopsticks replace the knives and forks
C. the host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes
D. you have your own plate of food in the West while in China everyone shares the dishes
13. If you have a dinner in a Chinese home,in which order will the food be served? ______
a.serving soup.
b.a set of four cold dishes.
c.staple food such as rice,noodles or dumplings.
d.the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.
A. b d a c B. c a b d C. b a d c D. c d a b
14. The public chopsticks and spoons are used to ______ .
A. taste different dishes
B. eat the food in the plate
C. put food into the plates of their guests
D. show the friendship and politeness
15. According to the passage,which of the following is WRONG? ______
A. A western visitor will be surprised if the Chinese host put food into the plates of the guests.
B. The host may use his own chopsticks to put the food into the plates of the guests.
C. In formal dinners,you must eat all the food in the plate.
D. Guangdong style restaurants won't serve soup to be followed by staple food.

In the U.S., people are celebrating Arbor Day(植树节) today, the last Friday in April. This holiday encourages people to plant and care for trees.
I remember receiving a tree seedling(树苗) on Arbor Day when I was 7 years old. My parents helped me plant the tiny tree in our front yard. 16 More than 25 years later, I am still proud and amazed when I see it! Now it’s a tall flowering tree that reaches to the top of our two-storey home.
17 Switzerland was the first country to create a national tree day. Other countries, such as Korea and South Africa, celebrate trees for a week! And India holds a national tree planting festival every July.
What’s so important about trees anyway Trees create oxygen, which we need to survive. 18 And tree roots can clean the harmful water. Trees also help stop soil erosion(水土流失).
19 Studies show that areas of cities with a high number of trees have fewer violent crimes. And living near “green spaces”(parks with trees and plants) lowers children’s risks of getting seriously sick. Trees also help lower noise, heat and pollution levels in cities.
20 Some call this experience“forest bathing”.This time with nature may even improve one’s immune system(免疫系统).
So maybe you should hug a tree today—or at least sit quietly under one!
A. I was so proud of it!
B. Trees are very important for city life, too.
C. I was used to celebrating Arbor Day every year.
D. We should plant more trees in the countryside now.
E. Tree leaves also help clean the air, keeping us healthier.
F. The U.S. isn’t the only country that recognizes the importance of trees.
G. Finally, it’s no surprise that spending time in nature just relaxing lowers stress.

Dear Albert,
I hope this letter finds you well. Learning that you wonder whether a career planning course is needed for Chinese high school students, I think it really makes all the difference.
The society, as you know, is increasingly competitive now. It can’t be better for our high school study and college major selection if we have a general plan and a top-level design for our future career in high school. It is highly recommended to invite university professors or career planners to guide students in career planning. Organizing students to participate in various social practice is also preferable, which helps to expose the students to the characteristics of all walks of life, and locate their employment directions. What about your opinion Looking forward to your reply. (126 words)
Yours,
Li Hua
