Positive thoughts

Make time for friendships. If you cherish a persons friendship， make time for him or her， whether it is just a phone call， an email or a weekly get-together. Make a note to call your friends regularly. 1 Then call your friends when you are free. Schedule a regular once-a-month lunch at the same time and the same place.

Remember： a true friend doesnt run away when changes occur. A true friend is the one who stays true through it all-marriage， parenthood， new jobs or new homes. 2

Kids have the reputation（名聲） of being picky eaters. Trying to encourage your kids to eat a bit healthier can be difficult. The following are some ways for you to help your kids eat more healthily.

Get rid of the junk. Adults do the grocery shopping， so if the cabinets are filled with chips， sugary cereals， ice cream， soda， fatty meats，and pastries， it is due to the adults in the household.

1 If children have healthy food in the house， that is what they will eat.

Be a good role model. It is not news that kids model behavior after their parents—even starting during infancy（嬰兒期）.

2

3 Many families do not eat meals together - especially dinner. With busy work schedules， sports or music practices and fitting in homework， it can be difficult to find time to eat together. However， studies show that when families eat together， children eat better.

4 Studies have shown that if you allow your kids to get involved in the choosing， preparing and cooking of foods， theyre more likely to choose healthy and nutritious foods.

No more special“kid meals”； everyone eats the same meal.

5 In some cases， parents try to customize（定制） the dinner for each child！ But this sort of accommodation teaches kids that they do not have to try something new or different—instead，they will get what they know they will like.

F. Use this opportunity to work on demonstrating（示范）a good attitude and good eating behaviors for your children to imitate（模仿）.

G. This approach avoids power struggles over dinner by setting up a system in which the child is not forced to eat anything.

How to get motivation for study？

Do you need motivation for doing your homework？ 1

Get Perspective

When you consider homework a drag， it might help to think about the reason why you do it. The work you do now really is important， even though its probably hard to see sometimes.

2 . You see， you may not believe that youll need your algebra（代數(shù)） skills later in life， but algebra sets the stage for understanding principles of science， economics， and business.

3

Most students have a special talent in one particular area， so they enjoy doing homework in that topic. Just pick one area you love and become the self-appointed expert in your school. Get a serious attitude！ Think of yourself as the best at that topic， and then make it a reality. Once you do so， you will gain“confidence”in yourself and enjoy doing homework.

Get Competitive！

If you think youre at a disadvantage to other students， you can turn things around by getting a competitive attitude. 4

Try to surprise everyone， including the teacher， by doing outstanding work.

Get Your Eye on the Prize！

Write Down Every Assignment

3

Miscommunication is one factor that can cause bad grades， despite good efforts on your part. At the end of the day， make sure you understand every assignment. Be sure to ask questions and find out what format（格式）you should use when you write a paper or what type of questions might appear on your exam. The more questions you ask， the more prepared youll be.

Set up a Study Zone at Home

Take time to think about your real needs for the perfect study place. After all， if you cant concentrate， you certainly cant expect to learn very well. 4 . Some need a completely quiet room when they study， but others actually study better listening to quiet music or taking breaks. Just find a place to study that fits your specific personality and learning style.

Try not to put things off

When you put things off a lot， you will lose many chances that once belonged to you. 5 Start with trying to make a voice inside， which tells you to stop every time you set aside the homework.

1

Have sticky notes（便利貼）and a pencil on hand as you read. Try to get in to the habit of keeping supplies on hand for this active reading technique.

Stay alert for important or key information. 2 These are often statements that sum up a list， trend， or development in reading. In a piece of literature， this may be a statement that predicts an important event or a particularly beautiful use of language. After a little practice， these will start to jump out at you.

3 Place the flag in position to indicate the beginning of the statement. For instance， the sticky part of the flag can be used to underline the first word. The "tail" of the flag should stick out from the pages and show when the book is closed.

If you own the book“follow up with a pencil.” You may want to use a very light pencil mark to underline certain words that you want to remember. 4

Once you have finished reading， go back to your flags. Reread each passage that you have marked. You'll find that you can do this in a matter of minutes.

5 Keep track of all your readings by creating a collection of note cards. These can be valuable at test time.

B. Try to take notes while reading.

C Students are Not Blind Followers

Rather than following a well-structured path， like the education system blindly， C students question the belief based on which the system is built， and may come up with their own agenda in case they don't agree with the way the system works. Steve Jobs， for example， dropped out of college， and co-founded Apple Inc.

C Students are Not Defeated By Failure

C students understand the value of struggle. Hence， they dont falter（蹣跚）easily when failure comes in their stride.

5

A letter to the architect

Dear Sanders，

I have read in the newspaper today that you are to be the architect for the new Bankstown cinema. I hope you will not mind me writing to ask if you have thought about the needs of disabled customers. In particular I wonder if you have considered the following things：

◆ Adequate access for wheelchairs. It would be handy to have lifts to all parts of the cinema. The buttons in the lifts should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach， and the doors be wide enough to enter. 1 As disabled people have to use the lifts， this makes them feel they are not as important as other customers.

◆ 2 It would help to fit sets of earphones to all seats， not just to some of them. This would allow hearing -impaired customers to enjoy the company of their hearing friends rather than having to sit in a special area.

◆ 3 For disabled customers it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema. It can be difficult if the only disabled toilet is in the basement a long way from where the film is showing. And if the doors could be opened outwards， disabled people would be very happy.

◆ Car parking. Of course， there are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elder drivers. 4 ， it is easier for disabled people to get to the film in comfort.

Thank you for reading my letter. I hope my suggestions will meet with your approval. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as able-bodied people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with dignity. I am sure many people will praise your cinema if you design it with good access for disabled people. 5

Yours sincerely，

Alice Major

A. Toilets.

B. Disabled people should be respected.

C. Earphones for people who have trouble hearing.

D. If they are close to the cinema entrance and/or exit.

E. Just accept disabled people for who they are， and give them encouragement.

F. But in some cinemas， the lifts are at the back of the cinema in cold， unattractive places.

G. I will also make the cinema owners happy if more people go as they will make higher profits！

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport， but it is really not hard to learn it. 1 . But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.

First， you must ask yourself， “Where is the wind coming from？ Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side？” You must think about this all the time on the boat. 2 .

Lets start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. 3 . Then it will catch the wind best.

4 . In this case， you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind， but it shouldnt flap （擺動(dòng)）. It shouldnt look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping， it is probably out too far， and the boat will slow down.

Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try， the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible， but you cant go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. 5 . When you are tacking， you must always keep the sail inside the boat.

A. This is called tacking.

B. The wind is usually strong.

C. You do not need to be strong.

D. It should be at a 90° angle（角度）to the boat.

E. When the wind is blowing ahead， sailing is difficult.

F. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.

G. If the wind is blowing from the side， it is blowing across the boat.

Online shopping is the process of buying goods and services from merchants over the Internet. Since the World Wide Web came into being， merchants have sought to sell their products to people who spend time online. 1

A person only has to log onto the Internet， visit the stores website， and choose the items she desires. 5 The shopper can remain in her pajamas（睡衣）as she does her shopping， and the process can be conducted in the early hours of the morning or late into the night.

3. C 此處是該段小標(biāo)題，應(yīng)能概括該段主要內(nèi)容。該段主要講述的是，交流的重要，交流才能清楚地知道功課的要求和考試的考查方向，而提問(wèn)題只是交流的一種方法，因此選C不選B。

2. F 本句“差生認(rèn)為第一任務(wù)是完成任務(wù)而不是追求完美”是對(duì)該段標(biāo)題“差生明白完美無(wú)定義”的進(jìn)一步解釋說(shuō)明。關(guān)鍵詞為“完美”。

4. C 本句“差生尋找更便捷的方法來(lái)完成任務(wù)”與該段首句“差生傾向于提出更簡(jiǎn)單的解決方案”構(gòu)成了總分關(guān)系。關(guān)鍵詞“簡(jiǎn)單”。

1. C 根據(jù)空前的設(shè)問(wèn)“How much should you save each month？”推斷，空格處應(yīng)是對(duì)此問(wèn)題的應(yīng)答。選項(xiàng)C中的主語(yǔ)that正好指代前句中的問(wèn)題，翻譯為“這取決于你存錢(qián)的目的”，故C項(xiàng)符合。

2. D 歸納句的考查。根據(jù)空格前兩句的表述，“如果你每月節(jié)省25美元，那么4個(gè)月后你就能買(mǎi)到一部單車(chē)。但如果你每月節(jié)省出50美元，2個(gè)月后你就能購(gòu)買(mǎi)那部單車(chē)了”，歸納出D選項(xiàng)“每次節(jié)省的錢(qián)越多，就越快得到你想要的”。故D項(xiàng)符合。

3. F 主題句的考查。根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，消費(fèi)日記記錄每筆消費(fèi)的內(nèi)容、金額、原因等能幫助孩子反思哪些是不合理消費(fèi)，從而減少支出?！癓ist what you bought， when you bought it， how much it cost， and why you bought the item”解釋了選項(xiàng)中的“keep track of your money”。故F選項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。
