8．It's strange that a man born on Labor Day has had to work so hard to succeed in life．Jacob seems like a normal person．He likes music，art and photography．His parents both got college degrees．He used to go to a beach house in Portland every summer．He is a big fan of Mexican food．Reading these facts about him may lead to the opinion that he had a great childhood．However，behind all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids growing up．
It started when he was only two years old．His parents divorced and then remarried．Going through elementary school and middle school，he was frightened a lot．This may have led to the worst thing that could have happened to a young man．
He developed deep depression．Doing the smart thing，he talked to his parents about his problem．His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to West Hills Hospital．He stayed there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed．Serious insomnia caused the problem．
The solution was daily medication．The medication took care of Jacob's depression problem．However，it contained a substance with lithium（鋰）．The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate．This led to a weight gain of 25pounds while he was on medication．So he decided he had to lose some weight and stop the medication．
Now he has lost a big part of the weight and he has managed to solve his problem he had in high school．Now he is a happy human being．
Many people would have had a very hard time coming back from depression．Many people probably would have given up their dreams．But Jacob is not like this．He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future．

81．When was Jacob possibly born according to the passage？（no more than 3words）   （2marks）On Labor Day．
82．Why did Jacob suffer from deep depression？（no more than 4words）   （2marks）
Because of serious insomnia．
83．How did Jacob gain the weight of 25pounds while on medication？（ no more than 5words） （3marks）
By eating spoonfuls of sugar．
84．What can we know from Jacob's story？（no more than 10words）   （3marks）
He had a hard time but never gave up．．

分析 文章講述了Jacob出生在五一勞動節(jié)，小時候由于父母離婚導致了失眠從而患上了憂郁，通過自己的努力重獲新生．

解答 81．On Labor Day．細節(jié)題．第一句話 a man born on Labor Day 得出答案，在五一勞動節(jié)出生的．
82．Because of serious insomnia．推斷題．在第二段最后一句話Serious insomnia caused the problem，提到了導致憂郁的原因是嚴重的失眠．
83．By eating spoonfuls of sugar．細節(jié)題．第三段The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate這句話告訴我們通過吃很多的糖導致體重猛增．
84．He had a hard time but never gave up．最后一段告訴我們He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future．沒有放棄，相反把自己變成一個真正的男子漢和有光明的未來．

 Friendship falls apart for many reasons-a huge fight，distance，loss of interest，and some other personal reasons．But if both parties are interested to be friends still，there is no reason why die friendship shouldn't be saved．If you want to breathe life on a dying friendship，here are some tips．

 Forgive the offense．If an offense broke the friendship apart，it is time to forgive，forget，and move forward．If you were the offended party，openly tell your friend that he has already been forgiven．Of course，do this only if you really have forgiven the person．
 Apologize．If_______，let go of your pride and ask for forgiveness．Remember that reconciliation （和解） starts with a word of apology．Make sure to apologize in person，but if that it is not possible，like when you are living in a different country or state，you can do it by some other means．
 Show your concern．Even if you are not as close as you once had been，show your friend that you still care for him．You can show your concern in different ways．If one of his family members is sick，you can send him a short thoughtful note．Send him a gift on his birthday．And wish him well if he is starting a new project．

3．All over the world mentioning of English education suggests a picture of the"public schools"，and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions-Eton，Oxford and Cambridge； but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system．Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12，000students out of a total of over 250，000students at all British universities．Eton is a public school，and the best known of the public schools，which，in spite of their name，are not really public at all，but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years．The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education； only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school，and one out of 1，500goes to Eton．
Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education，which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries．All children must，by law，receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen．Any child may attend，without paying fees，a school provided by the public authorities，and the great majority attend such schools．They may continue，still without paying fees，until they are eighteen．In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools．However，although the public schools are not important numerically，they have been England's most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods，and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure．For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking，insurance，high finance，some industries，the army，the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools．

（Note：Answer the question or complete the statements in no more than 12words．）
81．British public schools are not as their names suggests because they arein reality independent and private （actually）．
82．The public schools are not important in certain senses becauseonly a small number of children are studying there．
83．Why must all British children between the age of five and sixteen attend a school？Because it is required by law．
84．Why do people easily think of public schools when British education is mentioned？Because they have great influence on English education and society．．
