My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.

At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and joked, “I might have to retire again next year get some more of these biscuits.”

My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!

Our school has set up a column called “Soul Castle” for senior 3 students.

After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?

That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.

However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.

In my room, Mom’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.

True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.

1.Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?

A. They all wanted to have a good rest.

B. The author didn’t do well in the exam.

C. What the doctor said made them worried.

D. They focused on the scenery along the road.

2.How did the author manage to get high marks?

A. By being confident.

B. By reading as many books as possible.

C. By getting help from his classmates.

D. By listening carefully.

3.We can learn from the text that ____________.

A. the author’s sight recovered finally

B. reading made the author more sensitive

C. the author’s mother didn’t work to look after him

D. reading made the author not worry about his sight

4.Which of the following could be the best title of the text?

A. My eyesight trouble

B. An unforgettable experience

C. With ears wide open

D. About Mother’s love

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains and buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends, and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering, and doing the other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, and dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a two-week-visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.

B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.

C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.

D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.

2.When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those ______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of nature.

A. who live in the country.

B. who have spent time working in the garden.

C. who have a garden of their own.

D. who have been digging, planting, and watering.

3.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______________ if they had to live outside London.

A. their life was meaningless

B. their life was invaluable.

C. they don’t deserve a happy life.

D. they were not worthy of their happy life

4.The underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph refer to “_____________”.

A. the rest questions

B. the rest people

C. the rest of the country

D. the rest of the parks and of the sea

About ten year ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and---WHUMP! ---It hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH…immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kids, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it？”“Please, mister, please…I’m sorry！I don’t know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else could stop” Tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the packed car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb(路沿)and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman. “Would you help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.

Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scraps and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK！He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE—a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.

And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.

“But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.

In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.

As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海綿), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!

Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

1.In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.

A. how to get along well with others

B. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers

C. the importance of a good relation with teachers

D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant

2.“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.

A. there’ll be more problems with learning

B. you find an opening to learning

C. learning becomes easier for you at once

D. there’ll be no problems at all with learning

3.Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?

A. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.

B. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching.

C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.

D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 1. Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 2.

2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3. It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3. 4. This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives a good start. 5. And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A. Try new things.

B. Ability is easily improved.

C. Make three or four instead.

D. Understand your food better.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
