Mr Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record.He was just doing what he loved.But his family, friends, and the people he worked with encouraged him to apply to Guinness to see if he’d set a record.He had.
Mr Durietz says people who want to be teachers should make sure they are patient with their students.He also encourages them to choose subjects that they care deeply about.“Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he says.

(2024·济宁高一下学期月考)In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school.It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well.To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are.Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year.And, most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins.Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school.This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport.Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports.Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school.If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc.These clubs allow students from different grades.By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications.The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

(2024·沧州十校高一下学期月考)I was listening to a speech comparing the challenges faced by today’s teens to those of teens who lived 150 years ago.I agreed with most of what the speaker said until this:“The challenge that teens faced 150 years ago was hard work.The challenge that teens face today is a lack of hard work.”
Uh, excuse me! I said to myself.A lack of hard work? What are you smoking? I think teens are multitasking more than ever.I see it with my own eyes every day.Between school, socializing, extra-curricular activities, clubs, athletics, part-time jobs, dealing with family, and on and on, there’s barely time to breathe.A lack of hard work? Ha! Milking cows and mending fences don’t sound any more difficult than a variety of tasks of a twenty-first-century teen.
Let’s face it.You’ve got a lot to do and there’s just not enough time.After school there’s a rehearsal (排练), followed by work.There’s also that biology test tomorrow.And you’ve got to text your friend relationship crisis advice.On top of that, you should exercise.The dog needs a walk.And your room’s a disaster.What will you do?
The habit of putting first things first can help.It’s all about learning to prioritize (优先安排) and manage your time so that your first things come first, not last.But there’s more to this habit than just time management.Putting first things first can also help you learn to overcome your fears and be strong during hard moments.First of all, you must decide what your first things are.Then, put them first in your life.
12.What’s the author’s attitude to the speaker’s view on hard work?
A.Opposed. B.Supportive.
C.Ambiguous. D.Disappointed.
13.What did the author think of mending fences?
A.It is easier than having a rehearsal.
B.It is harder than having a rehearsal.
C.It is less interesting than a biology test.
D.It is more interesting than a biology test.
14.What does the author try to tell us about today’s teens in Paragraph 3?
A.They lead a colourful life.
B.They are very busy indeed.
C.They don’t work hard enough.
D.They don’t use their time wisely.
15.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To issue a warning.
B.To make a summary.
C.To offer a suggestion.
D.To introduce a new topic.

4 Habits of Very Successful People
Most of the experts agree on one thing: Starting your day well is most important.Here are some ideas on how to start your day off right.
Get up an hour early.
People who get up early in the morning have a jump on the day.For starters, they’re awake! And some studies show that our willpower and attention span (范围) are strongest in the morning. 16 In American English, we like to say,“The early bird gets the worm.”
Don’t answer email or jump into social media as soon as you get up.
Your coffee or tea is ready.So, you decide to look at your email quickly or open up your Facebook account.Well, don’t. 17
We’ve all done it.You see a Facebook post from a friend you haven’t seen in a long time.Before you know it, an hour has passed! This is not the best way to start your day.
Exercise!
18 Exercising in the morning may not be for everyone.Some people like to exercise after work or at night.
Physical fitness experts and trainers often suggest some form of exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a busy time for most people. 19
Think about your day ...at night.
Take time at the end of the day to think back on all the things that have happened.Give thanks, if you want. 20 Some people who talk about “living in the present” may criticize this.But it may help you to prepare if you take a few minutes to think about what you need to do the next day.
A.It may be harmful to your health.
B.Some people may disagree with this one.
C.And spend a little time to think about tomorrow.
D.This is a great way to forget about the day ahead.
E.You shouldn’t put off what you can do today until tomorrow.
F.In fact, the morning may be the most productive part of your day.
G.By the day’s end, you may not have the time or energy to exercise.

teacher from Illinois.On 1 September 2023, he set a Guinness World
Record for the world’s longest teaching career.Mr Durietz has been
teaching for 53 years.

social studies teacher.Social studies is the study of history, and how
people, countries, and cultures are connected.Mr Durietz says he made
up his mind about it when he was just 11 years old, mainly because of his
love of history.
He became interested in history after hearing stories from his father,
who fought in World War Ⅱ.On his mother’s side of the family, he had
connections to a famous person from English history.
Mr Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in
Gurnee, Illinois.Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the
same school.He says he loves sharing his knowledge of history with
students.
Though technology has changed a lot since he began teaching, Mr
Durietz says the students are still pretty much the same — except that now
they have cell phones.With or without technology, Mr Durietz has used
interesting activities to help his students learn.For example, he has
organised virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about
the US Civil War.He has even organised mock (fake) elections at school
to help his students learn about politics.He says these activities are some of
the ones that he and his students enjoy most.
Mr Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record.He was just doing what
he loved.But his family, friends, and the people he worked with
encouraged him to apply to Guinness to see if he’d set a record.He had.
Mr Durietz says people who want to be teachers should make sure
they are patient with their students.He also encourages them to choose
subjects that they care deeply about.“Keep working on what you love to do
in life,” he says.

(2024·济宁高一下学期月考)In America, when the eighth
graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to
the high school.It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as
well.To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still
important to find where their classrooms are.Most schools take students to
the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year.And, most
schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the
first year begins.Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the
school.This can help students and parents to find different places in the
school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to
join a club or play a sport.Schools often offer chances to join different
clubs and sports.Fall activities begin in August before the first day of
school.If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any
interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community
service, etc.These clubs allow students from different grades.By joining
an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving
their chances in future college applications.The school office will have a
list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students
can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and
school workers.

(2024·沧州十校高一下学期月考)I was listening to a speech
comparing the challenges faced by today’s teens to those of teens who lived
150 years ago.I agreed with most of what the speaker said until this: “The
challenge that teens faced 150 years ago was hard work.The challenge that
teens face today is a lack of hard work.”
Uh, excuse me! I said to myself.A lack of hard work? What are
you smoking? I think teens are multitasking more than ever.I see it with
my own eyes every day.Between school, socializing, extra-curricular
activities, clubs, athletics, part-time jobs, dealing with family, and
on and on, there’s barely time to breathe.A lack of hard work? Ha!
Milking cows and mending fences don’t sound any more difficult than a
variety of tasks of a twenty-first-century teen.
Let’s face it.You’ve got a lot to do and there’s just not enough
time.After school there’s a rehearsal (排练), followed by work.There’s
also that biology test tomorrow.And you’ve got to text your friend
relationship crisis advice.On top of that, you should exercise.The dog
needs a walk.And your room’s a disaster.What will you do?
The habit of putting first things first can help.It’s all about learning to
prioritize (优先安排) and manage your time so that your first things
come first, not last.But there’s more to this habit than just time
management.Putting first things first can also help you learn to overcome
your fears and be strong during hard moments.First of all, you must
decide what your first things are.Then, put them first in your life.

4 Habits of Very Successful People
Most of the experts agree on one thing: Starting your day well is
most important.Here are some ideas on how to start your day off right.
Get up an hour early.
People who get up early in the morning have a jump on the day.For
starters, they’re awake! And some studies show that our willpower and
attention span (范围) are strongest in the morning. 16 In American
English, we like to say,“The early bird gets the worm.”
Don’t answer email or jump into social media as soon as you get
up.
Your coffee or tea is ready.So, you decide to look at your email
quickly or open up your Facebook account.Well, don’t. 17
We’ve all done it.You see a Facebook post from a friend you haven’t
seen in a long time.Before you know it, an hour has passed! This is not
the best way to start your day.
Exercise!
18 Exercising in the morning may not be for everyone.Some
people like to exercise after work or at night.
Physical fitness experts and trainers often suggest some form of
exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a busy time for
most people. 19
Think about your day ...at night.
Take time at the end of the day to think back on all the things that
have happened.Give thanks, if you want. 20 Some people who talk
about “living in the present” may criticize this.But it may help you to
prepare if you take a few minutes to think about what you need to do the
next day.
A. It may be harmful to your health.
B. Some people may disagree with this one.
C. And spend a little time to think about tomorrow.
D. This is a great way to forget about the day ahead.
E. You shouldn’t put off what you can do today until tomorrow.
F. In fact, the morning may be the most productive part of your day.
G. By the day’s end, you may not have the time or energy to exercise.

本文是一篇说明文。成功人士具有哪些特点呢?作者跟
我们分享了他们普遍具有的4个好习惯。
17. D 上文在叙述有些人早上起床后做的事:喝咖啡或茶、查邮件、
打开Facebook,显然,做这些事会让我们忘记当天要做的正事,故D
项符合语境。
18. B 根据下句可知,作者认为早晨锻炼不一定适合每个人,故B项
(有些人不一定同意这一建议)符合语境。
19. G 上文指出很多专家建议早上锻炼,并说明了不建议中午锻炼的
原因,接下来应该说明不建议晚上锻炼的原因,故G项符合语境。
20. C 上文先建议我们晚上回顾一下当天发生的事,接下来说我们做
的事可能会受到那些主张“活在当下”的人的批评。由此判断,该建议
是让我们考虑一下未来,故C项符合语境。
谢谢观看!
