Creative alarm clocks

Dumbbell（哑铃） alarm clock

It is not a real dumbbell, but you have to shake it up and down 30 times to stop the alarm clock. And there is no stop button. Of course you will be totally refreshed by then. Don’t be lazy and take some exercise in the morning.

Target alarm clock

The alarm is ringing at the time you set it for！Do you see the target？Then hit it to stop the sound with a laser gun（激光枪）. Of course you have to be fully awake if you don’t want to miss the target.

Flying alarm clock

I’m sure you won’t be able to simply ignore this alarm as you usually do, because it flies！Its propeller（螺旋桨）flying off the alarm is the key. Before the frightening alarm sounds drive you crazy， you’d better quickly put the key back.

Banclock

Have you been keeping a pocketful of change for some time without knowing what to do with it？Maybe you can put those coins in your alarm. This is both an alarm clock and a money box. It only stops ringing if you put a coin in it.

IQ alarm clock

What about a brain workout in the morning？ IQ alarm will go off and ask you a set of IQ questions. Don’t even think about removing the battery, because it is hard to open. The only way to shut it off is to answer all questions correctly.

Mr. Bump-off-the-wall alarm clock

An alarm clock is so annoying when you are too tired and sleepy to get up. You can release your anger on Mr. Bump. It looks like a blue ball covered with “bandages（绷带）”. Just throw this alarm at the wall to silence it.

1．How can we turn off Target alarm clock？

A．By shooting at it. B．By shaking it 30 times.

C．By putting the key back on it. D．By answering questions shown on.

2．What is another function of Banclock？

A．Improving people’s sleep. B．Asking people to do exercise.

C．Testing people’s intelligence. D．Helping people to save money.

3．What can we infer about Mr. Bump-off-the-wall alarm clock?

A．It hangs on the wall. B．It is difficult to break.

C．It was invented by Mr. Bump. D．It rings louder than any other clocks.

B

You may not know a lot of people when you start senior high school. Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生 ), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?

Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation (迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.

When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern (关注) with your classmates can help you develop friendships.

The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.

Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.

Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.

4．How do the freshmen usually feel on their first day of senior high school?

A．Proud. B．Curious. C．Excited. D．Nervous.

5．What are freshmen probably worried about?

A．The ability to make friends. B．The learning task.

C．The freshman orientation. D．The relationship with teachers.

6．What do after-school activities mainly help students to do?

A．Develop their interests. B．Develop friendships.

C．Build up their strength. D．Improve their learning ability.

7．What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．What you’ll learn in senior high school.

B．What you learned in junior high school.

C．The difference between junior high school and senior high school.

D．The importance of being more independent and responsible.

C

 “Are personal sad stories a must to win talent shows?” “Shouldn’t talent be judged on the basis of itself without needing a sad story of struggle to win?” These are questions Sanya Malhotra posed on a recent Facebook post.

This morning I came across this interesting post by Sanya Malhotra. She revealed that she loved dancing and dreamt of becoming an actress, but got defeated in “Dance India Dance” because her background story wasn’t sad and inspiring enough. That’s when she started doubting her artistic gift.

This really set me thinking. Why are people attracted to sob stories? Why do we always appreciate only those people who have achieved something after going through a lot of hardships?  Why does the headline of a newspaper “Taxi-driver’s Son Stands First In UPSC Exam” find more readers? I think it is because most people, who are in a similar situation, find it comforting that someone has succeeded with so many hardships. I know it is really very difficult for people with financial, health, or family problems to overcome obstacles and succeed. I really feel proud of them and I am often touched and inspired by their stories.

Now come back to what Sanya has said. I think this is a talent show rather than a story-telling competition. When it comes to a competition of singing or dancing or any fine arts, all the competitors should be judged without any bias (偏见). No one should lose because they don’t have a sad story of struggle to tell. It’s very unfair. They can be given opportunities otherwise, but should not be judged because of their stories.

Maybe, the TV channels do it to attract more viewers, because the most important element of any reality show is these touching stories. But as Sanya has said, it’s unfair to those who haven't such a story and are equally talented.

8．What do we know about Sanya Malhotra?

A．She entered a talent show. B．She won “Dance India Dance”.

C．She had a sad story to tell. D．She was rejected in a film.

9．From the second paragraph, we can infer that Sanya Malhotra________.

A．experienced many hardships B．is a famous actress in Indian

C．has a great gift for gymnastics D．used to be confident in her artistic talent

10．Which of the following headlines appeals to the readers most according to the passage?

A．A Millionaire Donated Money To Harvard University.

B．A Gifted Indian Teenager Won “Dance India Dance”.

C．An Armless Girl Was Admitted To Harvard University.

D．A Freshman Paid Off Loans By Getting A Part-time Job.

11．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．Winners Should Be Determined By Public Judges

B．Sanya Malhotra Displayed A Great Artistic Gift

C．Competitors Should Not Be Judged By Sob Stories

D．Talent Shows Competitors Can Tell Their Stories

D

“Patience” is a word that you have probably heard a lot! But you may wonder, “What on earth is patience, and why does everyone keep telling me to have it?”

※Patience is waiting for something or someone. It is accepting delay without getting angry or upset!

※ It is waiting for someone else to speak when you have something to say!

※ It is waiting to eat before everyone is at table!

※It is waiting for your birthday even though you may want a present now!

※ Patience is trying something again when you want to give up.

Patience doesn’t sound like much fun. And to be truthful，sometimes, it’s not. And with so much technology in the world，we don’t always have to be patient. For example, we are able to stream our favorite TV shows on our cell phones, go to restaurants where food is served hot and fast, among many other things.

So, why wait when we can have everything right now? Because just about any successful person has patience. Many good and important things take patience. For example, most great inventors and explorers have a lot of patience!

※When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, it took him over 1,000 tries!

※It took the Wright Brothers years to invent the airplane!

※It took 8 years to send a man to the moon!

※ It takes between 150 and 300 days to travel from Earth to Mars!

If great inventors did not have patience and self-control, you would likely not be reading this right now. In fact, you might be living in a cave or tent somewhere. You would have no electricity, no car, no school and almost certainly no Internet!

12．In which of the following cases is “patience” needed?

A．When you are sitting at the dinner table.

B．When you are speaking.

C．When you are receiving a present.

D．When you have given up trying.

13．What does the author think about a cell phone?

A．It’s a funny invention. B．It makes us less patient.

C．It reduces our waiting time. D．It helps us to communicate.

14．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A．Great inventions call for patience. B．We have to take control of ourselves.

C．Great discoveries can be made in a cave. D．Our society can’t do without electricity.

15．What’s the main purpose of the text?

A．To sell. B．To advertise.

C．To persuade. D．To introduce.

52．Dear Will,

How are you doing these days? It has been a year since you came back to Canada. I miss you so much. I still remember the very day when we met at Canada Culture Festival two years ago. It was at that festival that you shared so many interesting things, such as the special food maple syrup, Montreal smoked meat and Poutine, through which I learned a lot about your food and culture. We really enjoyed ourselves there. What's far more important is that we became good friends then. Though I felt a little sorry that you left China last year, I am pleased to know you are leading a happy life in your hometown.

I hope we can keep in touch often.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua
