24、   The high school entrance examination in Chongqing, or zhongkao, will be put off by a month. That is to say, students will get another month to review. However, it's still a challenge for them to face zhongkao. So we interviewed some teachers from Chongqing No.1 Secondary School about how to prepare for the exam. Let's take a look.

Mr. Yang (Chinese teacher): Learning Chinese should be a lifelong business. Although zhongkao will be put off by a month, it's not the reason for you to waste any minute. Keeping on doing the following things is the secret to raising your scores in your future exams: come back to your textbook, summarize (总结) what you have learnt and learn how to write from your reading.

Mr. Wang (math teacher): You should pay much attention to your mistakes in your exercises. Keep all the papers you did in the past and be serious about correcting your mistakes. Those are the most valuable materials for you to think about and review over and over again.

Ms. Zhu (English teacher): Make "Time" our friend and make every moment count. For example, you can make a timetable for your study. And make good use of your morning reading time to help memorize words. Memorizing words in your spare time is also a good choice. Then, do more English reading, especially the reading from the real zhongkao papers.

Mr. Liu (physics teacher) and Mr. Guo (chemistry teacher): Keep your cool and you can progress day by day. While you are organizing what you've learnt, don't forget to think about the ways to solve physics and chemistry problems. At the same time, learn to infer other things from what is known by thinking hard.

Mr. Liu (history teacher) and Mr. He (politics teacher): You should be very clear about every knowledge point. Then, try to find the difference between similar concepts (概念). Making a summary and having a deeper understanding are the basis (基础) of your progress in exam performances.

25、   In my freshman year, I asked myself, “Why am I in school?” I thought I was forced to be there, but I decided just to get along with it until I could find it meaningful.

One day it finally hit me. We were studying Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in our writing class. Each of us was asked to play a part, and I jokingly volunteered to play the nurse. They all laughed, thinking that I, a boy, couldn’t play it, but I decided I was going to be the best nurse ever to appear in the writing class. On the day of the performance, I made it a success, and then I knew what school meant to me. School was then a place where I could explore unknown areas in my mind. Perhaps I hadn’t realized that before because I had never been brave enough to discover it.

To my new-found hunger for learning, I decided that I wouldn’t be shy any more. I began raising my hand higher in class discussions. In oral communication class, I chose unpopular speech topics and made them interesting. In British literature class, I chose to write a song for a creative project. Through these activities, I made classes interesting not only for me, but also for my classmates and teachers.

In short, I have discovered that learning is not something teenagers are forced to experience. Instead, learning is a way teenagers grow. What I want to tell my classmates is that I am a brave and creative actor, musician and writer, whose name each of my teachers knows by the end of their first class, and will be reinforced (增强) each day through my brave behavior.

【1】What’s the matter with the writer in the beginning?

A．He did badly in his studies.

B．He couldn’t get along well with others.

C．He wondered why he went to school.

D．His parents forced him to go to school.

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the idea that ________.

A．I played the nurse

B．learning in school is disappointing

C．we studied in the writing class

D．learning in school is meaningful

【3】What helped the writer change his thought about school?

A．The performance.

B．The teachers.

C．The class discussions.

D．The speech topics.

【4】In the end, the writer became ________ in learning.

A．serious

B．active

C．unwilling

D．impatient

【5】What can we learn from the writer?

A．We should explore learning bravely.

B．We need to play a part in the writing class.

C．We should make teachers know our names.

D．We can learn to be actors, musicians and writers.

26、   Most students have experienced those school nights when they try to stay awake while doing homework. However，is homework the only reason why students stay up too late? For many, the answer may be factors（因素）such as electronics and technology，yet for others，the reply focuses on the balance between schoolwork and extracurricular（课外的）activities.

Most students grow up developing some type of hobby. Whether it is playing baseball on the weekends，or joining a chess club after school，taking part in extracurricular activities is a large part of students' daily routines.However，as schoolwork and pressure increase in high school，many studentsargue that extracurricular activities must fall by the wayside because they are not needed，or not so important.“High school is a time when you're supposed to explore what you love，”Samantha Luk，a high school student，said. When it comes to setting a timetable，however，Luk said she was often under pressure to give more importance to study. This thought of giving up personal interests for study is common among many students. They find it challenging to prove whether developing the interests is advantageous.

As a cross-country runner，journalism fan and violin lover，I disagree with those who decrease the importance of after-school activities. There are many reasons why involvement in after-school activities is beneficial. The most important point is that sports，clubs and regular meetings give students time to enjoy each other's company（陪伴）and start up friendships. These activities also allow teenagers to follow their interests and to reduce stress. So in spite of （尽管）heavy schoolwork, students should keep on following their hobbies although it is very hard.

Some students，on the other hand，choose the opposite way. They spend too much time on their hobbies that they are passionate（狂热的）about.Sometimes this passion helps students get recognition or prizes for their surprising talents， but generally speaking，it just makes one student different from the other.

Schoolwork and interests are of different values，so one should never have to choose between study and extracurricular activities，unless he or she wants to. Each student should try to balance them，and your balance may differ from others’．Achieving this kind of balance is to find out what is important for you. It completely depends on your personal preference.

【1】From what Samantha Luk said，we know that

A.she was good at setting a timetable

B.she often stayed up studying at night

C.she spent a lot of time on her hobbies

D.she put her study before her interests

【2】The writer probably agrees that

A.surprising talents can help students succeed

B.after-school activities are necessary and important

C.students should choose either study or their interests

D.students need to develop hobbies different from others’

【3】What might be the best title for the passage?

A.Managing Your Time Wisely

B.Living a Relaxing School Life

C.Developing Different Interests

D.Discovering Your Own Balance

28、Liyuan Library

Liyuan Library (篱苑书屋), known as one of China's most beautiful bookstores, is located in a small hillside village near Beijing.

The project, designed by architect Li Xiaodong, was built with 40,000 wooden sticks. In the village, Li found large amounts of wooden sticks piled around each house. The villagers gather these sticks all year round to fuel their cooking stoves (炉子). Thus they decided to use this o【1】 material in a special way.

“This project is about the relationship of a building to the surroundings and i【2】 role (角色) in serving the community (社区), rather than a building as an individual object,” Li told the visitors.

In the two-and-a –half years of the operation, Liyuan Library has experienced unexpected levels of use and appreciation. A new bus s【3】 has opened close by for the frequent visits by thousands of people, including local villagers, tourists from the Beijing urban area, and many international visitors as well.

“Everybody is f【4】 to visit,” explained Li. “However, visitors are encouraged to bring two books to the library, and take one back home from the collection in order to keep the place a center of k【5】 exchange.”

Instead of adding a new building in the village, they chose this site in the nearby mountains, a pleasant five-minute walk from the village center. In doing so, they could p【6】 a place for clear thoughts when one takes the effort to head for the reading room.

Li described his practice in the following way: “We try to m【7】 technology, community, local materials, modern thinking and a traditional sense of identity together.”

29、   As a new teacher at Dull Primary School in Denver, Kyle Schwartz thought of a simple way to get to know her third graders, most of whom came from ______ families. She asked them to complete the note, "I wish my teacher knew..." and share something about themselves.

Their honest answers gave the teacher a chance to understand her students' difficulties. "I wish my teacher knew I have no pencils to do my homework," ______ one child. "I wish my teacher knew sometimes my reading homework is not signed, because my mom is not free a lot," wrote another. Some showed hope for the ______,"I wish my teacher knew that I want to go to college."

"Some notes are really heartbreaking." Schwartz tells ABC News. "I care ______ about each of my students and I don't want them to be poor forever." She explains, "I hoped to know ______ I could better support them. So I ______ to let them tell me what I needed to know. That was why I created the fill-in-the-blank exercise."

______ the third graders were allowed to answer anonymously (匿名), most wanted to include names. And some were even excited to read their notes out loud, ______ one shy girl who bravely said that she was lonely. "After she told the class, 'I don't have friends to ______ me,' I was worried what they would do," Schwartz tells US Weekly.
