Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important periods in your life？Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind？Probably the main reason is that some aspects of that poem resonates(引起共鳴)with you．In the same way，you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your staff and students．

Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past．Thus，it can inspire whatever and whomever it touches．The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul．

As one of the oldest art forms，poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity(人性)from one generation to another．Referring to poetry，Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement，“With this key mankind unlocked his heart．”

School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves，their students and their staff members．Beyond the simple use of poetry，techniques of poetry such as metaphors，repetitions and imagery can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication，create meaning and a culture of care and attention．

Since schools are mainly about people and relationship，school leaders，like poets，are required to inspire and encourage the human heart．The use of poetry—or even of some techniques of poetry—in school leadership not only helps to improve communication，but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration．

1.Who is the passage mainly for？

A．Students． B．School teachers．

C．School leaders． D．Poets．

2.The underlined part “this common need” in the second paragraph refers to“ ”．

A．the need to read poetry

B．the need to be inspired

C．the need to learn about the past

D．the need to be connected with other people

3.The use of poetry or techniques of poetry in school leadership is in fact to make use of ．

A．the power of language

B．the power of school leaders

C．people’s preference for poetry

D．people’s desire for communication

4.What is the purpose of the passage？

A．To show the readers that poetry is really powerful．

B．To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life．

C．To talk about the art of being a school leader．

D．To encourage using the transformational power of poetry in school leadership．

I was in the college when my father passed away. One evening, a man visited me and after a while, he asked of my studies. I told him I could not go to college so I did not want to study anymore. He reminded how my father had sent me to the best college in our city. Did I want to fulfill his father's dream or did I want to be calling a failure? I wept and said I do want to do my best and I just couldn't concentrate. He gave me all the encouragements I needed to be able to carry on. His calming, gently voice did wonders and I decided to study harder and complete my graduation early.

China is a country on the move—especially around its Lunar New Year holiday. This year, the holiday crush（客流量） promises to be even heavier than before.

Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air, roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel.

Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience. And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope. Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel, and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down.

Much of the criticism has, focused on the railway's online purchasing system, which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers（票販子） from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets.

While insisting that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers, railway officials told reporters that the public need to be patient. Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems. While officials had little good news for rail passengers, they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行費） will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday.

1.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "discounting" in Paragraph 3?

A. Promising.B. Discouraging.C. Pleasing.D. Rewarding.

2.According to the text, getting tickets ________ around the official holiday.

A. is just a piece of cake

B. is more costly

C. takes great effort

D. is convenient for travelers

3.We can learn from the text that ________ around the New Year holiday.

A. there will be 3. 62 billion people going home

B. the railway system will be facing more stress

C. people's complaint .focus on the failure of online purchase

D. not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling

4.Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to the railway service?

A. Objective.B. Doubtful.C. SatisfiedD．Worried.

Sam went to the cinema the other night. Entered the cinema, he thought of taking off his coat. But the cinema was very cold and he has to keep his coat on. As there weren’t much space between the rows, his legs began to ache shortly after he took up his seat. Worse still, they found it difficult to breath easily. Looking around, he saw a lot of people smoking. At last the film started. That made him angry was that the person in front was wearing so big hat that he could hardly see the screen. To top it all, people all around him either told jokes nor laughed loudly. However, Sam missed most of the dialogue.

The winter holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job — looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（資格證書）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

1. What is the author’s present job?

A. Working part-time in a college.

2.When staying with the two girls’ family, the author ________.

A. was paid for extra work

B. often worked long hours

C. got much help from her boss

D. took a day off every other week

3.Why did the author leave her first job?

A. She found a full-time job.

B. She was fed up with children.

C. She decided to attend a part-time course.

D. She needed a rest after working extra hours.

4.What has the author learned from her own experiences?

A. Less successful students can still have a career.

B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.

C. Hard work makes an excellent student.

Some decisions are very important that they shouldn’t made without talking to others first．There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust．For one thing，they can give you valuable，advice and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked．For another，friends may stop，you making big mistakes.

When consult others about important decisions，you should keep two things on mind．The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respected enough to trust his or her judgment. The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person．Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In a word，making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea．
