As we start the second half of the spring term, I thought it important to update you on some key developments.
Post-16 Collaboration(合作)
We have entered into an exciting new collaboration with Bassaleg Comprehension School, Duffryn High School, St Joseph’s High School, and Coleg Gwent—The Newport West Post-16 partnership. We will be working together to deliver nearly 40 different courses at other schools and likewise, students from other schools will study some subjects here. Information about the courses available to students can be found on the partnership website www. Newftartwest. corn. uk.
Uniform
I would take this opportunity to remind all parents that students are not permitted to wear non-school uniform cardigans (开襟羊毛衫) in Newport High School. It is the responsibility of parents to make sure your son or daughter wears the correct uniform to school. This includes completely black shoes. Over the next half term we will be working with students to develop a cardigan with the school logo which will provide an alternative to the current school jacket.
School Catering.
We are currently seeking a new company to provide school meals. Our new catering provider will be in place at the start of the summer term and will be working with students, parents and staff to provide improvements to our current provision. I look forward to keeping you updated on this development.
Some key dates for you to be aware of over the next half term are:
| Tuesday 15March | Year 9&10 Revision Conference |
| Wednesday 23 March | Year 12& 13 Parents Evening (4：00—7：00 p.m.) |
| Thursday 31st March | Academic Review Day |
| Friday 1st April | Teacher Training Day (school closed to students) |
| Friday 15st April | End of Spring Term |
| Tuesday 3rd May | Start of Summer Term |
Your faithfully,

A patent gives you the right to an invention. The patent protects its owner, which means the invention can’t be copied or sold without their agreement. In exchange, the owner must reveal information about the invention. This contributes knowledge that helps other inventors improve on their own research. A patent usually lasts about 20 years.
The first step to getting a patent is the application. The person applying must name the invention, explain its use and describe it clearly. The invention must be practical and contain some new characteristic — something that hasn’t been seen or used before. But not everything “new” can be patented. Many countries don’t allow patents on things like new concepts, scientific theories, medical procedures or substances already found in nature.
You may not be able to see patents, but they’re connected to nearly everything. There are patents on things you use every day, like plastic, medicine and your computer. There are patents on things that are unavailable on the market, too. Apple is well-known for its patents on potential products, such as the “iBike” or the “iKey”.
Of course there are also patents on inventions like this. Take the anti-eating face mask for example. This device locks around your head with a metal cage covering your mouth. You can breathe and speak, but you can’t eat!
Although many patented inventions can be failures, there’s plenty of room for success. So if you have a cool invention, try to patent it.
小题1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
| A．A patent can last for around 20 years. |
| B．Everything new can be patented. |
| C．Your invention is protected after you have applied for a patent. |
| D．Some patents are on the things that we use every day. |
| A．a popular product | B．a mere new concept |
| C．a famous brand in the world | D．a practical bike on the market |
| A．weapon | B．medicine | C．equipment | D．strength |
| A．advertise | B．persuade | C．warn | D．inform |
I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula. Okla. 36 the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I 37 out of old boards.
I got my first 38 job, at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities (职责) were 39 tables and washing dishes, 40 sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would 41 to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 42 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 43 my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working
44 me to have. Because of my 45 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Taste Freeze. This made me 46 .
Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working 47 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊帐) 48 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately 49 a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was 50 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed(欠) the storekeeper $90! So I learned 51 the danger of easy credit. I paid it 52 as soon as I could.
My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a 53 of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, 54 worked three jobs, once told me, “If you 55 sacrifice (奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.”How right he was.

Sometimes you remember things that did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “trick” works the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber(理发师) shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny in incidents（小事） caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness(心不在焉). Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble. （words: 169）
小题1:If you want to have a good memory, ________.
| A．you should force yourself to remember things |
| B．you should make a self-effort of practice and exercise |
| C．you should never stop learning |
| D．you should try hard to remember things |
| A．One night the writer forgot to lock the front door. |
| B．One night the writer forgot having locked the front door. |
| C．The writer remembered to lock the door. |
| D．The writer remembered unlocking the front door. |
| A．we enjoy hearing new stories about absent-mindedness of professors |
| B．we don’t want to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professors |
| C．we will never get rid of（摆脱） listening to new stories about absent-mindedness |
| D．absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people |
A US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock（模拟）interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their general performance, five “handshake raters（评估人）” also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact.
Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with “wimpy” shakes were judged to be more timid（胆怯的）and less impressive.
The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Professor Stewart said: “We’ve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don’t consciously remember a person’s handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal（非语言的）clues we get about the person’s general personality, and that impression is what we remember.”
Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, —as an overenthusiastic “bone crusher” handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of reliability.
The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.
小题1:The passage is probably intended for_______.
| A．job-hunters | B．an undergraduate | C．employers | D．handshake raters |
| A．The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave. |
| B．The undergraduates without a firm handshake are less competitive. |
| C．Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others. |
| D．The handshake dates back to medieval Europe. |
| A．The handshake determines a person’s personality. |
| B．A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake. |
| C．The first few minutes of the interview really counts. |
| D．Job interview success depends on a number of factors. |
