Every day we go to school and listen to teachers, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends --- you are in a situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease in ordinary conversation but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.

A good student is always equated to one who gets good grades. But is that all that a good student is? What is a 1 good student? Is he someone who is the teacher"s pet? Someone who tops every test? Someone who has the smarts? A good student is all this and more, because, you see, it’s not just about books and repetitive 2 .
Being a good student takes much more than that. There are certain 3 that make him a good student. That is 4 what we shall be looking into – the qualities of a good student. There will help you 5 what a good student is and what are the qualities that one needs in order to become one.
A good student has great 6 skills. He has the ability to plan and organize not only his actions but his 7 as well, for being well organized allows a person to be prepared for all the situations that are to 8 . That could not have been 9 if he had taken up the studies at the last minute.
Knowledge is a key 10 that defines（定义） a student. Possessing knowledge that is not only limited to books but also 11 things about current affairs and other things allows him to draw from all that he possesses and use it in his studies.
There is nothing that comes without hard work and that is exactly what a good student has to possess. A 12 student is not someone who will turn away from work, or try to find 13 s to get the work done 14 or for the sake of finishing it. He is instead someone who will do his work sincerely and put in all his efforts without compromising on quality.

All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children. That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. Years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand, the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. Revolutions are led by the young.
Good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students, only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs. Schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used. Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government. The rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands, but their voices must be heard.
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. Indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about he lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them. But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.
小题1:By saying “Revolutions are led by the young”, the author indicates that young people are more .| A．conventional | B．realistic | C．creative | D．heartbreaking |
小题2:From the second paragraph we know .| A．teachers’ basic beliefs should be questioned by students | | B．schools encourage parents to question their education methods | | C．movement is satisfied with the new leaders’ attack on the policies | | D．the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government |
小题3:In order to educate children well, parents should .| A．forbid particular behaviors in their daily life | | B．know them well and set a good example to them | | C．educate them with facts and expect much of them | | D．know as much as possible as their children |
小题4:From the passage we can learn that the author prefers .| A．free parenting | B．traditional parenting | | C．critical parenting | D．smart parenting |
小题5:What is the best title of the passage?| A．Letting Go – for Children’s Independent Life | | B．Parents’ Tasks – in Children’s Development | | C．Way of Growth – for the Young Groups | | D．Teaching Methods – for Teachers and Schools |

Some of Man"s closest relatives in the animal kingdom are under serious threat because of human activity, according to a recently published report.
Almost one in three of all apes and monkeys are now considered to be in danger of dying out and disappearing from our planet, if action is not taken soon.
The report, which was produced for the World Conservation Union (WCU), shows that 114 of the world"s 394 kinds could be lost forever, and the main reason they are threatened is the continuing loss of forests where most of these animals live. In addition, illegal wildlife trade, climate change and commercial（商业的）hunting for meat are also endangering them.
What"s more, the problem is getting worse. The number of species on the organization’s Red List has increased by 3 to 25 since 2005.
Russell Mittermeier, the main researcher of the WCU report, said, "You could fit(安置) all the surviving members of these 25 species in a single football stadium. So the problem is obviously urgent."
The scientists, who drew up the Red List, believe that the situation is now so bad that if action is not taken immediately, it will result in primate(灵长目动物) species dying out - something which has not happened in over a century.
The loss of habitat caused by the clearing of forests for wood, farmland and fuel continues to be the main reason for the decreasing number of primates, according to the report, and the problem was most severe in Asia.
The loss of forest trees is also responsible for 20 percent of all greenhouse gases - more than all the cars, trucks, trains and airplanes in the world combined.
小题1:What is the main subject of the report discussed in the text?| A．Climate change. | B．Loss of animal habitat. | | C．Animal protection. | D．Endangered animals |
小题2:How many animals were on the Red List in 2005?小题3:The spokesman refers to "a football stadium" in paragraph 5 to stress that ______.| A．the animals enjoy playing sports | | B．these animals should be placed there for protection | | C．there are not many of these animals left | | D．the report was announced there |
小题4:What is the main cause of the greenhouse gas problem according to the text?| A．Airplanes. | B．Loss of trees. | | C．Factory pollution. | D．Road vehicles. |

New York City schoolchildren can’t use cellphones at school because of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s ban on cellphones in schools. Many parents are opposed to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s ban on cellphones in schools by e-mail messages.
There was a 13-year-old student who was shot with a gun after school, unable to call his mother for help. There was a high school student robbed three times last year, twice in her school building. There was a girl who got a piece of glass placed in her eye during school and was saved from a possible cornea transplant (角膜移植) only because, having disobeyed the cellphone ban, she was able to call her mother and get an operation on time.
The ban has been on for years, but it set off a widespread parental outcry only in April, after some headmasters sent home letters reminding parents that cellphones are not allowed to be brought into school.
Mr Bloomberg has defended the ban, saying that cellphones are bad and often used to cheat or call in friends for fights. If something is important, he says, parents can call schools directly.
On the other hand, many of the e-mail messages from parents described the ban as “cruel and heartless”, “absurdly(荒谬地) wrong-headed”, “anti-parent”, “ridiculous”.
“We respect the fears that parents have,” David Cantor, a spokesman for Schools Minister Joel I. Klein said, “but after all the fact is that having phones in schools always leads to more problems.”
小题1:A 13-year-old student was shot with a gun after school, unable to call his mother for help, because ____.| A．his mother had no cellphone | | B．his mother wasn’t at home | | C．he didn’t take a cellphone with him | | D．he was too frightened to call |
小题2:From the fifth paragraph we can see many parents _________ the ban.| A．agreed to | B．thought highly of | | C．supported | D．were opposed to |
小题3:According to what the spokesman said, the school might _______.| A．call off the ban | | B．continue the ban | | C．thank the parents | | D．allow some students to use cellphones at school |

44 produce enough food for their people . Little increase is 45 in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East . Poor farming ways are 46 large areas of crop land, changing farms into deserts . More farmland is 47 as cities become larger and more houses are built . 48 will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil .Many of the world’s 49 could disappear as more and more trees are cut down . Energy will continue to be a serious problem . The experts say their picture of the earth for the year 2010 50 . They only carried out the situation that 51 today . By changing the situation, by 52 the problems, the picture can be changed . There is 53 time for the nations of the world to work 54 a plan of action .
