Hi Peter,Hope you’re well.
You know I’m doing that secretarial (秘书的) course? Well, there’s something on my mind, and maybe you can help. I know you were in a similar situation last year when you did this course. The thing is the course is really boring and I hate it. But I’ve already paid for it, and it runs till the end of June. What do you think I should do? Any ideas? Thanks for taking time to help me with this. Your advice is always helpful. Please let me know what you think—write to me or give me a call.
All the best,
Sandra

Hey Sandra!Great to hear from you!
I’m good. Same old things—work, music. I’m really into a band (乐队) called The Virals—ever heard of them? I’m really sorry you’re struggling (斗争) so much at the moment. But being honest I think you should finish the course. You only have a few months to go. There are always things in a course like that which you’ll find useful later, like increasing your typing speed.
If you’re desperate (急切的), then what about going to a careers (职业) advice center? It might help to talk to someone there. I think it’s better than giving up the course and doing nothing. Or maybe do something crazy, like traveling around India for a year. That way, you could think about what you want to do with your life.
Hope that helps, but you have to decide in the end!
Cheers,
Peter

It was a Friday morning, 7:30 a.m. I felt too lazy to drive my car so I asked my son to book a taxi. In five minutes, the taxi arrived. I just saw the car number and entered the car. I was so busy that I didn’t pay any attention to the driver. I was searching for an important paper from my bag, so I said, “Please, go quick! I’m in a hurry!” The voice came, “Yes, madam!” I was surprised when I heard a woman’s voice. I stopped for a second and looked at the driver. She was a young lady, around 30 years old. I had never had a woman Uber driver before. I became interested in why she chose this job. I started the conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”
“Yes, madam! No problem,” she said.
“I guess you are well-qualified,” I said.
“Yes, madam! I have completed my education. I have even gotten my MBA (工商管理硕士).”
“What made you choose to do this job?” I could see her smiling face in the rear-view mirror (后视镜).
“I love driving. I don’t care how big or small my job is. I wanted a job where I can get satisfaction (满足). I haven’t made much money from it yet, but as I told you, I love driving! That’s all there is to it.” Very politely, she said, “Driving has been my dream since childhood.” Of course, I respect (尊重) each and every job. In this case, at least I realized my dream.”

Do you ever feel like you are running from one activity to another, or studying one subject after another at a mad rush?
When things happen at such a fast pace (节奏), you will easily fail to notice what you are doing, or what you are learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning. This is called self reflection (自我反思).
There are mainly two forms of self reflection. Some people prefer to do their self reflection in their minds, while others keep written notes. Whether the reflection is done in mind or on paper, either of them can work.
School textbooks are often divided into units. It is a good choice for a student to get started a self reflection. When one unit is over, there are always some kinds of tests. You can use these natural breaks as chances to stop and reflect. Find a quiet place. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out a piece of paper or your reflection notebook. Just take down the important points but not everything. Let your mind think over the notes you have written and make some connections.
Sometimes just stopping to think deeply allows your brain to make connections so that new information can be quickly recalled (回想起) when you need it again. Next, think about things that you still wonder. For example, maybe you learned a new way to solve a maths problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to continue looking for answers the next time you come across the same topic.
Self reflection is an essential skill for a successful student. If you have never taken time to reflect, try it now.
62．What will happen if we study at a too fast pace according to Paragraph 2?
A．We will be very tired. B．We will get good grades in exams.
C．We will not notice what we are learning. D．We will have more time to do other things.
63．Why should we do self reflection?
A．To have more activities and subjects.
B．To make things happen faster and better.
C．To make our brain more and more active.
D．To have a better understanding about what we learned.
64．When we study a textbook, how can we do self reflection correctly?
A．Find a quiet place and think deeply.
B．Reflect after finishing the whole book.
C．Take down everything that you learned.
D．Have a discussion with classmates about the questions.
65．What does the underlined word “essential” mean in the passage?
A．Important. B．Difficult. C．Impossible. D．Harmful.
66．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Self Reflection in Mind or Taking Notes B．Self Reflection Makes You a Better Learner

VIII.阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读A、B、C、D四篇材料，从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Jack,
It is quite rude for children or adults to bring electronic games, mobile phones, etc. to the dining table whether at home or in restaurants.
One of my worries is some adults leave their mobile phones on ringer (响铃装置) and have conversations next to me when I am trying to enjoy my meal. When people enter a restaurant their mobile phones should be closed, on silence or on vibrating (震动). If they must answer a call they should excuse themselves from the table and go to the rest room to speak.
Children should be taught the art of conversation at a very early age when dining. They should not be allowed to monopolize (独占) or interrupt, but talk at the proper time. Some family-style restaurants provide coloring materials for young children to play with while they are waiting for their meals. This is a quiet activity and they can still have a conversation, too.
Some adults treat restaurants as offices and talk about business during their meals. When it bothers others who are enjoying their meals quietly, then it should not be done.
The basic rule of having good manners is to treat others the way you like to be treated and that is with respect and consideration.
Thank you for writing.
Best regards,
Tony Black
51．Tony Black thinks it is ________ for people to bring mobile phones to the dining table.
A．helpful B．impolite C．necessary D．important
52．Your mobile phones should ________when you enter a restaurant.
A．be given to the restaurant owners B．be put somewhere else
C．be closed, on silence or on vibrating D．be kept in your pocket
53．Aperson who has good manners for a meal must treat others ________.
A．like in their own offices B．without answering telephones
C．without talking about business D．with respect and consideration

B
Find a Job This Summer
This summer there are things that students can do to earn some pocket money or to help others. Also, many programs are offered by provincial government and its partners to help students find summer jobs. Here are a few ideas.
Deliver Newspapers
Teenagers can deliver newspapers—usually you ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave the newspaper at each house. Normally you have to have your own bike—and you have to get up early too, because people want their newspapers to read with their breakfast. If you are 15-18 and return to school this fall, you can find jobs of this kind.
Wash Cars
It's crazy for adults to drive to an expensive car wash when they can get a teenager to do the job for less money. Wash the car well and carefully and people will want you to do it again. Then you've got customers!
Give Older People a Hand
Lots of older people are happy for teenagers to help them carry their shopping or do small   things for them, like washing or keeping them company (陪伴). You earn money or not, and people in the neighborhood get your help.
Job Programs
If you are a student living in certain communities of the province, you are lucky. There are programs that provide four weeks of paid jobs along with training. After that, you can start and run your own summer business, and you have a chance of winning awards of up to $1000. Go to the government website to learn more about these programs. People under 25 could build skills, find a job or start businesses all year round.
They are all great ideas. Just choose one of them to make some money. Then spend it or save it. But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you are going.
54．What is special about Deliver Newspapers?
A．It requires one to get up early. B．It needs patience and strong body.
C．It offers help to neighbors. D．It gives training before work.
55．Which one provides training?
A．Deliver Newspapers. B．Wash Cars. C．Give Older People a Hand. D．Job Programs.
56．What can you learn from the passage?
A．It's hard for teenagers to find jobs. B．The elders don't want help from teenagers.
C．Washing cars is the best choice for teenagers. D．Whatever you want to do, safety comes first.

C
As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at the ground—I wanted to be anywhere in the world but this school.
I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape (逃避现实), the wooden door suddenly opened to the singsong voice of Mrs. Blackstone, my new teacher.
“We’ve been waiting for you!” she said in an unusually high voice. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left standing in front of the students nervously.
Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone helped find me a new best friend. When I sat down at my desk because I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she would not only call on me but also have me stand up to address my classmates. Her kindness made me smile and finally I felt much more relaxed in the new environment.
One spring afternoon Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda. I want to tell you something.”
“Okay.” My throat all of a sudden felt very dry, I listened carefully to every word.
She said, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, the kindness you show—I think you have great potential (潜力) to do something important. I’ve been a teacher for over 25 years, I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. Remember that and you’ll go far.” She then hugged me and said, “See you tomorrow.”
Her singsong voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of the class, looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me!
57．According to the first two paragraphs, the writer ________.
A．had bad grades B．didn’t like going to this school
C．liked her teacher’s voice D．was afraid of her new teacher
58．What does the underlined word “address” probably mean?
A．look at B．argue with C．speak to D．write to
59．Why did Mrs. Blackstone have a talk with the writer?
A．To tell her about her grades. B．To help her realize her mistakes.
C．To make her feel cared and loved. D．To encourage her to believe in herself.
60．From the last paragraph, we know that the writer felt _________.
A．nervous B．self-confident C．interested D．scared

D
Anyone who ever did anything truly great failed first. Failure is a part of trying. It’s going to happen. What matters is how you deal with it.
It is failure that is the key to success. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he invented the light bulb. Abraham Lincoln was defeated in several government elections (选举) before becoming one of the greatest American presidents in history. When Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, he went home, locked himself in his room and cried. He became surely the greatest basketball player of all time.
Failure doesn’t have to be the end. If you let it, failure can be an effective and powerful teacher that finally leads to success. Many teens today don’t understand this. Passing or failing a test, making the team or getting cut, being accepted socially or being laughed at — teenage life can be confusing (令人困惑的) and full of pressure, and, sadly, teenagers think it’s easier not to try at all than to face their fear of failure.
Clearly, failure represents opportunity and growth, not deficit or loss. But if teens don’t try or take chances, great opportunities for success will pass by them. And having an attitude of avoidance (逃避) and a fear of risk-taking can finally lead teenagers to give up themselves altogether. Teens face important decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. It’s an important time for them to know how to properly face failure. They may be about to experience a lot of it.
We are going to experience failure, but no experience in life is wasted if you learn something from it. Make sure you know that failure is just a stepping stone to success.
61．The writer considers that Thomas Edison’s and Abraham Lincoln’s failures _________.
A．let them down B．helped them succeed
C．made them cry D．gave them hope
62．Teenage life is _________ according to the passage.
A．confusing B．hopeful C．boring D．energetic
63．The underlined word “deficit” in the passage means “_________”.
A．happiness B．surprise C．success D．weakness
64．The writer wants to tell us that everyone should _________.
A．never try at all B．have a fear of risk - taking
C．try or take chances D．have a positive attitude
65．What is the main idea of this passage? _________.
A．Thomas Edison was a great scientist. B．Many teens today are confused.
C．Teens should make right decisions. D．Failure is the first step to success.

Once there was a lovely vegetable field with a very big tree in it. Both the vegetables and the tree made the field look wonderful.
At the beginning, the vegetables and the tree couldn't get on well with each other. The vegetables disliked the tree because they thought the tree didn't leave them enough light by covering them with its thick leaves, while the tree thought that the vegetables drank nearly all the water before it could reach him.
The situation became worse and worse. One day, the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree fought back by refusing to offer the vegetables shade. Soon they both began to become weaker and weaker under the hot sun.
Neither of them expected that the gardener would stop watering his vegetable field. When the gardener did that, the tree and the vegetables really felt how thirsty they were. But there seemed to be no way to solve the problem. Then a small pumpkin（南瓜）decided to do something to change the situation. The small pumpkin did what he could to grow though there was little water and it was too hot.
Finally, the gardener noticed the pumpkin among the vegetables. Therefore, he started to water the field again because he still wanted to win the big pumpkin competition. At the same time, the tree and the vegetables were saved. Since then, they realized that it was better to help each other than to fight. From then on, they lived in harmony（和谐）with each other.

People get truly happy and successful by trying to be themselves. Not on the outside—on the inside. It's not about a brand（品牌）or a character. It's about truth. Who you really are. It sounds simple, I know. The problem is , it's very hard to do, it takes a lot of work, and it can take a lifetime to understand who you are.
Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy. If you want to do great work, it's going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And you're going to have to break out of your comfort zone（舒适区）.
But you know, you can't think of a better way to spend your life. I mean, what's life for if not finding yourself and trying to become the best, the truest version（版本）of you that you can be?
That's what Steve Jobs meant when he said this in a speech at Stanford University:
Your time is limited（有限的）, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don`t let the noise of others ‘opinions drown out your own inner voice. You have to trust that the points will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something—your heart, luck, life, whatever. This way has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.
Not only that, but what Jobs was talking about and what I'm talking about require focus and hard work, two things that are very hard to come by these days. Unless you take on the challenge and start up the road to self-discovery, or nothing will be achieved. Whatever you might discover, all you have to do is to start the journey.
31．It is _____________ for you to find out who you really are.
A．simple B．difficult C．funny D．clever
32．If you want to do great work, you should _____________.
A．make as many friends as you can B．pay attention to your outside world
C．set up your own special brand D．get away from comfort zone
33．What can we know from Steve Jobs' speech?
A．Try to become a famous person.
B．Make full use of our time.
C．Earn a lot of money and enjoy life.
D．Spend no time in playing.
34．What underlined word "settle" in the passage means "_____________".
A．stop B．return C．forget D．complete
35．What's the best title for the passage?
A．To Move Forward or Step Back B．To Be Happy or Successful
C．How to Be Yourself Truly D．How to Start Our Journey
