Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior I student in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance.In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.

BRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have advantages and disadvantages .
ADVANTAGES
Free museums. No charge for good collections of art works
Pop music. Britain is the only country to rival(与…匹敌)the US on this point.
Cabs. London taxi drivers well know where they are going.
Choice of food. Visitors can find food from every corner of the world .
Fashion. Not only do fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.
  DISADVANTAGES
  Poor service. People can dine out on the rudeness they have experienced,” says Professor Tony Seaton, of Luton University’s International Tourism Research Center.
  Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to defeat tourists who have the most patience, so the over- crowded London tube is inexplicably(难以理解的) popular.
  Rain. Still in the number one complaint. 
  Overpriced hotels. The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.
Drinking hours. Alcohol(酒) is in short supply after 11 pm even in “24-hour cities”.

The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic(赞同的) audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
  My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
  The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived(察觉) as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s         young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.
小题1: The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _____.
A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior(差的) to that of the older
generation
B.the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough
C.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen
years
D.English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English
小题2: In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.
A.gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B.had exaggerated(夸大) the language problems of the students
C.was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D.could think and speak intelligently
小题3:The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.
A.neutral B.positive C.critical D.compromising
小题4:It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A.it is justifiable(有理由的) to include English as a school subject
B.the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
C.English language teaching is by no means an easy job
D.language improvement needs time and effort
小题5:In the passage the author argues that ______.
A.it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
B.young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their
jobs properly
C.to eliminate(消除) language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D.to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few   41 .On their faces was confidence(信心).This was their   42  exam—then they would graduate and begin to work.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they   43 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 44 and able to take control(控制)of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)   45 task, as the professor had said they could bring  46 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not  47 each other during the test.
  48 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles  49 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed 50 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the  51 faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   52 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished  53 .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   54 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 55 many things about the   56 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common(普遍)in everyday  57 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all  58 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just  59 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the  60 he taught.

“ Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with.It is  36  to find someone who is down-to-earth.A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to  37  accepts other people as equals.A down-to-earth is just the 38 of someone who acts importantly and proudly.
Down-to-earth persons may be  39  members of society, of course.But they do not let their importance “ go to their  40 ”.They do not  41  themselves to be better persons than others of less importance, someone who is filled with his own importance and  42 , often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”.There is no way a person with his nose in the  43 can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that means almost the same  44  “down-to-earth”.The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”.Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person  45  a good understanding of reality.He has what is called “   46  sense”.He may have  47  , but he does not allow them to  48  his knowledge of what is real.The opposite kind of person is  49  who has his “head-in-the-clouds”.A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the  50  world.
Sometimes  51  a dreamer can be brought back to earth 52  words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.
Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very  53  to have both-feet-on-the-ground.
 54  we have both our feet on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act  55  and openly toward others.Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game from the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word "shmily" in a     31    place for the other to find. They took turns leaving "shmily" around the house, and as soon as one of them     32    it, it was their turn to hide it once more.
There was no     33    to the places where "shmily" would appear. Sometimes, "Shmily" was written in the     34    left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath.     35   , my grandmother even unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper to     36    "shmily" on the very last sheet.
It took me a long time before I was able to fully     37    my grandparents" game. It was     38    their funny little game; it was a way of life. Grandma and Grandpa held hands every chance they could. They    39    kisses as they ran into each other in their tiny kitchen. Before every meal they bowed their heads and gave their     40   : a wonderful family, good fortune, and     41  .
But there was a    42   cloud in my grandparents" life: my grandmother had breast cancer, which had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every
    43    of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way     44____    she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too     45    to go outside.   Then one day, what we all     46    finally happened. Grandma was gone.
"Shmily." It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother"s funeral bouquet. As the crowd     47    and the last mourners (哀悼者) turned to leave, my aunts, uncles, cousins and other family members     48    and gathered around Grandma     49   . Grandpa stepped up to my grand-mother"s casket and,     50    with sorrow, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby (摇篮曲).
SHMILY: See how much I love you.
