  • (2017秋•晋江市校级期中) Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job.I'm not a football commentator(评论员),though--just an English teacher in Japan.
        I came to Japan two years ago,and didn't think I would stay,but Japan has that effect on you.People often end up living here longer than they planned.I think it's best to teach in a biggest city where there are other foreigners to mix with.Rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl.Many people choose to live in Tokyo,of course,which is good for the nightlife factor.But I'd say that for general quality of living,cities of neither too large nor too small,like Sapporo where I live,are better choices.
        I teach English privately,which means I'm my own boss.If you want to devote yourself to private teaching,it's well worth doing a TEFL course first.Because your lessons will be much better for it.The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons,so I started out teaching in schools part time.
        Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools.The salary is fine to live on.But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
        The schools are reluctant to take time off--even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had a hard time getting the day off.

  • (2017秋•新化县校级期中) Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment(环境)friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass,paper,plastic,and metal containers are produced,and these are difficult to get rid of.
        However,today,more and more consumers are choosing"green"and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product,they ask questions like these:"Will this shampoo damage the environment?""Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
        A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it.This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are"green,"that is,friendly to the environment.
        Only a few years ago,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets,but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(标签)to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(生产)of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
        The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of"Buy it,use it,throw it away,and forget it."The public pressure is on,and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

    (1)It becomes clear from the text that the driving force(动力)behind green products is
     

    A.public caring for the environment
    B.companies,desire for bigger sales
    C.new ways of doing business
    D.rapid growth of supermarkets

  • Some kids start to drink alcohol (酒精) at a young age. They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs. It is easy for kids to get liquor by using fake identification (伪造证件).
        Parents may start to notice a change in their child's behavior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally liked to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moody (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.
        Parents need to stay involved  in their kids' lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any changes.
        Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.
        Give the children good ideas on how to say "no" to drinking, even when they are at a party. Try not to overreact or panic  if the child tries alcohol. How you handle it can affect their attitude. It may be helpful to talk to other parents about setting up curfews (宵禁令) and rules about parties or other events.

  • Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
        There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
        One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child's leg. He never did that again.
        One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
        Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion(宗教)tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
        Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child's level and taking a more child-friendly approach  can help as well.

    (1)According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to
     

    A. strike them on the bottom

    C. teach them what to do

    A.It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her.
    B.The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.

  • A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don't laugh, it's true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
        Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.
        "We don't get sick or stay well by ourselves," says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.
        The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
        Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.
        Ferrer's research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
        We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.

    (1)Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
     

    A.Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
    B.Because her parents used to quarrel.
    C.Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
    D.Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
    (2)According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?
     

    A.We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
    B.Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
    C.Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
    D.Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.

  • Long school day = More learning? Not necessarily    Recently we talked about how some American schools have made changes in the traditional school year. Their goal is to improve student learning.
        Some have extended the school year, or reorganized it to avoid a long summer break. Another choice is to extend the school day. A new report from the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University examines research into how effective this is.
        The traditional school day has not changed much in more than a century. Activities or special programs might mean a longer day. But younger children usually go to school from about nine o'clock in the morning until about three in the afternoon. Older ones are traditionally in school from about seven a.m. until around two p.m.
        Some high schools have changed to later start times because of findings that teenagers learn better that way. But the new report says results have been mixed. Teachers say students are more awake. But students say the changes interfere with after-school activities or jobs.
        By 2001, almost one-third of all secondary schools had some form of block scheduling(区段时间表). The idea is to provide longer periods in the school day to teach basic subjects.
        More class time should mean better results. This is the thinking, at least. Yet a 2001 study found that secondary schools with traditional schedules had higher test scores by comparison. Schools with block scheduling did have higher scores in science, though.
        In any case, the study agreed with earlier findings that students feel better about their schools in systems with nontraditional scheduling.
        So how useful is a longer school day? Not surprisingly, the policy experts at Indiana say it is what educators do with the extra time that has the largest effect on student learning. They note a criticism that education leaders often make scheduling changes without changing the learning environment of a school.
        The experts say teachers must be trained to use the added time effectively. Professional development is needed. The report notes that simply adding time to a program that is not very good or very interesting will not increase student learning.

  • The producer of a new Indonesian movie about President Obama's childhood years in Jakarta(雅加达) is hoping that interested Americans will flock to see the film, Little Obama, in theatres across the country.
        Little Obama is the creation of Damien Dematra, an Indonesian writer and artist who has worked on the project since November when he was struck with the idea of writing about the time a young Obama lived in Jakarta with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
        The film is based on a novel published in March Obama Anak Menteng, and focuses on the president's childhood friendships in Indonesia.
        The novel and the film are fictionalized(把-编成小说) accounts of the president's time in Jakarta and are based on interviews with people who are childhood friends and neighbours of Mr. Obama. Many Indonesians share a deep pride about a man who spent part of his shaping years in the country and went on to become U.S. president.
        The film star is a 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali, an American who has lived in Indonesia with his family for about 10 years. Like the president, he is the son of a white mother and a black father. Since filming began, he has been under the shine of media attention. "My whole life changed overnight," he says.
        The film, which was made on a budget of ﹩1 million, won't get its first public screening until Wednesday, but ads for the movie on YouTube have got a few thousand hits. It isn't clear whether Little Obama will get a U.S. release(发行), but the film's producer says he is in talks with a U.S. distributor(发行人).

    (1)What is the film Damien Dematra produced mainly about?
     

    A. The friendship between America and Indonesia.
    B. The political views of Obama from his childhood.
    C. The determination and hard work of young Obama.
    D. Mr. Obama's friends when he was young in Indonesia.
    (2)Which is NOT true about Obama and Hasan Faruq Ali?
     

    A. Their nationality is American.
    B. They shoot a film when they are young.
    C. they have the experience of living in Indonesia.
    D. Hasan has a white mother and a black father.
    (3)What can we learn from the last paragraph?
     

    A. The future of Little Obama is unknown.
    B. Little Obama will be popular in America.
    C. Little Obama will be popular in Indonesia.
    D. Ads for Little Obama proved unsuccessful.

  • With your workload growing, you may be telling yourself a vacation is one luxury you can't afford. But the truth is that you can't afford not to take one. A vacation allows you the opportunity to recharge your physical and emotional batteries, disconnect from everyday concerns and return to work rested and refreshed. Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.
        Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time. When planning your vacation, remember to take into account(考虑)any activity that your department will be focused on during that time. For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider postponing your trip until the fall.
        Ask others for assistance. Ask trusted colleagues to handle your projects while you're away. Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.
        Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks' notice before you start off. This will give them enough time to plan for your absence.
        Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e-mail inbox so you don't exceed(超越)your storage limit while you're out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return. Also make sure passwords won't expire(期满)while you are away.
        In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to be work free and worry free on holiday.
