【題目】The Greatest Gift

Kerrie and I had always been close friends through elementary school and middle school. But when high school started, everything seemed to change between us. I was more independent and did whatever suited me. However, Kerrie wanted to be liked. She was willing to do anything to become ________, which was the only thing she wanted.

At the end of our first year, she finally got invited to the biggest ________of the year. As her best friend, I helped her get ready for the party. After I watched her leave, I headed into the house with a big sigh and ________ that everything could go back the way it used to be between us.

At about 2: 00 a.m., my phone rang. It was Kerrie's mother. I could hear the worry in her voice. "Kerrie's been in an accident," she said. My mind began racing in _______.

"She was hit by a truck," her mother continued to say." _______, it wasn't too bad. She has got a fracture (骨折). The doctor said she'd be OK in a month."

After taking control of my thoughts again, I ________ to calm down and hurried to the hospital.

Over the next few days, I learned more about what had happened. Kerrie had wanted to _______ in so badly at the party that she tried to please everyone. After the party, some girls told her to get a taxi for them. While Kerrie was standing in the cold waiting for a taxi, a truck came out of nowhere and hit her.

In the following weeks, I visited Kerrie every day. However, no one at the party ever came to see her, even the girls that she had tried to get a taxi for.

It was Kerrie's birthday when she left the hospital. I asked her what she wanted and she told me she had already received the greatest gift from me — unconditional love and true friendship since I had always been there to ________ her no matter what happened.

【題目】 Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night, I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30a.m. When I arrived to collect my passenger, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we talked slowly toward the car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’ re such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive me throughout the downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said, “I’m on my way to hospice. I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long time.” I quietly shut off the meter(計(jì)價器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, and the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the day broke, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much shall I give you?” she asked.

“Nothing,” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

【題目】 Yang Yu, 14, of Jilin, hasn’t adapted (適應(yīng)) himself to the changes in his classroom since the first day of this term: teachers now hold classes with a computer and screen. “Instead of writing on the blackboard as before, they click the mouse and show us the Power Point (PPT) slides (幻燈片) on the screen. Sometimes, there is not even one word on the blackboard after a whole class,” Yang said. “I’m not quite used to the multimedia (多媒體) class.”

More and more middle schools in China now use multimedia in class. Teachers put their courses on a computer and show their lessons with a PPT. To make the lessons more interesting, they play animations (動畫) and movies.

Hu Wei, an English teacher in Sichuan, thinks multimedia class seems to be more interesting than traditional classes. His students practice their oral English by following music and animations on a computer. “It helps them speak English bravely and actively,” Hu says. “Besides, it’s also a helpful tool for teachers because showing PPTs saves us more time than writing notes on the blackboard.”

However, multimedia class makes things more difficult for students like Liu Yifang, a 15-year-old Beijinger. She can’t take all her notes as before. “There are no words on the blackboard, but many on the screen,” Liu says. “Besides, my teacher speaks so fast that I can’t catch up.”

Liu thinks it is not the best way to learn. “For me, I like the old way. I agree that the multimedia is helpful, but so is the blackboard,” Liu says. “If teachers can use both tools properly in class, I think that will be really good for everyone.”

【1】What equipment (設(shè)備) do Yang Yu’s teachers use in multimedia class?

____________________________________

【2】According to Paragraph 2, what can teachers do to make their lessons more interesting?

____________________________________

【3】How do teachers save students more time in class according to Hu Wei?

____________________________________

【4】How many reasons does Liu Yifang mention why she can’t take all her notes as before?

____________________________________

【5】What’s Liu Yifang’s advice on class teaching?

____________________________________
