When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No, sir.” Just nodding your head is not acceptable.
Because I grew up in rural North Carolina, this rule comes 1to me, and it seems the obvious choice to come first. If you want children to respect you, you have to let them know 2. Simply telling them you want them to address you by saying “sir” lets them know 3 you expect them to treat you. I also tell my students it’s a very useful tool when 4with adults, and furthermore it also 5 handy for any adult interacting with another adult. Case in point: I was 6 the phone recently with the phone company discussing the inaccuracies(差錯) of my 7. The lady I spoke to was not8 and seemed annoyed. 9, in the midst of the conversation, I threw in a “yes, ma’am,” and her entire 10 changed. She became far more helpful and 11 to deal with, and she 12 cutting my bill in half.
Some of my students in Harlem were to be 13 for a chance to attend a high-rated junior high school. The school only had thirty openings for the following year, and twelve of my students were 14 the many kids across the city who applied for the spots. I practiced what the interview would be 15 with my students, and one main thing I stressed was, “16 you say ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no sir’ no matter what!” Weeks after the interviews, I was delighted to hear that all twelve of my students had been 17. When I talked with the admissions director at the school, the main 18 he made over and over was how 19 my students were in their interviews. It seemed like just such a simple thing to do, but it gets 20.

Are you afraid of moving up to senior high school? It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide to help you.

You are not alone

   Remember that everybody else in your grade is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they are just as nervous as you are.

   Moving up to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.

The teachers will help

   If you don’t know what to do or are worried about something, then ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to because they have experience in helping new students.

Everything changes

   There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized.

Other points

   If you’ve got an elder brother or sister at senior high school, then ask them for advice.

   Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will respond much better to you if you act naturally.

   Going to bed early makes a difference. You’ll also find it easier to get up in the morning!

Happiness is associated with smiling. But do we always smile when we are happy?

During the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, Spanish researchers analyzed the facial expressions of 22 gold medal winners at the medal ceremonies. The researchers were surprised to see that these medal winners didn't smile very much. In fact, throughout the different medal ceremonies, they only smiled about 10% of the time. But during the brief moment when the gold medal was put around their neck, the medal winners grinned (露齒笑) about 70% of the time.   

The researchers interviewed the winners they had watched to find out how they felt. All the winners interviewed said that they felt intensely(強烈的)happy throughout the ceremony.   

Though they were profoundly(衷心地)happy, they didn't smile a great deal. The researchers concluded that smiling was not the automatic expression of happiness. The fact that the gold medal winners smiled much more when they were actually being given their medals could be explained because, according to the Spanish researchers, smiling was a form of communication between individuals. The happy athletes were smiling at the people who were giving them gold medals. Perhaps we can support the findings of the Spanish researchers by making some observations of our own behaviors. When we are all alone, for example, do we smile at ourselves when we are happy? Probably not very often. If someone greets us with a friendly smile, do we respond with a smile? Yes, we probably do. When a friend gives us a beautiful present, will we show our appreciation with a smile? Yes, of course. But if we are sitting alone watching television, do we smile at a commentator (講解員) who smiles at us?

 How much of the time did the gold medal winners smile during the medal ceremonies?

       A. 10%.   B. 70%.   C. 22%.   D. 92%.

【小題2】According to the passage, when did the athletes smile quite a lot?

        A. Throughout the medal ceremony.             

B. When they were informed of their success.

       C. When the gold medal was put around their neck. 

D. When their national flag was raised.

【小題3】 According to the passage, on which of the following occasions would we most probably NOT smile?

A. When we are sitting alone watching TV.   

B. When someone greets us with a friendly smile.

C. When a friend gives us a beautiful present. 

D. When we feel intensely happy.

【小題4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The gold medal winners were too nervous that they would hardly smile at the medal ceremonies.

B. People will always smile automatically when they feel happy.

C. Smiling is a way of communication.

D. When the gold medal was put around their neck, the gold medal winners were smiling at the audience but not at those who gave the medal.

科目:高中英語 來源:2011-2012年安徽合肥八中高三上學(xué)期第三次段考英語試題 題型:閱讀理解

   For about three years now, I have been writing poetry. It was not until my junior year in high school that I developed an interest, love and skill for writing poetry.

   Back in elementary school, I loved to write stories. I would write stories on post-it notes and anywhere I could. Yet when I had to write a limerick(五行打油詩) for an assignment, I could not wrap my head around poetry. I had a very hard time figuring out how to rhyme words and have the words make sense. I eventually tossed the paper with the attempted limerick in the trash. I did not try my hand at poetry again until several years later.

   Many years later in my freshman year of high school, my English teacher gave my class a poetry project as an assignment. I still remember my limerick assignment and was afraid of doing the poetry project. For the project, we had to analyze a poem and write a response to it. I chose to respond to Robert Frost’s poem Fire and Ice. I also wrote my own poem first. I became really excited when writing the poem.

   Two years later, I started writing poetry as a hobby and for fun. To learn how good or bad my poems were, I handed them in to some magazines and contests. I won second place in the North Carolina Poetry Society’s Sherry Pruitt Award Contest with a poem called The Ocean, and had my two poems published as high merit(優(yōu)等) poems. I have continued to write poetry, and have even self-published three collections of poetry in both print and e-book formats, which can be found at my store on Lulu.

   Now, I love writing poetry, but I don’t hate writing short stories. I just find it more difficult and not my style of writing, even though I still write short stories occasionally.

1.When the author was a pupil, he ___________.

   A. liked writing stories

   B. was good at writing poetry

   C. could understand poetry well

   D. was often praised by his teacher

2.When given the poetry project in high school, the author was___________.

   A. excited        B. annoyed       C. confident       D. worried

3.The author took up writing poetry as a hobby when he____________.

   A. was in Grade Three in high school

   B. worked as a storekeeper

   C. was in Grade One in high school

   D. was at college

4.How did the author increase his confidence in writing poetry?

   A. He wrote a lot of poems and asked advice from his teacher.

   B. He published three collections of poetry by himself.

   C. He submitted his poems to magazines and contests.

   D. He gave up writing stories and only wrote poetry.
