Amy
I have always admired students who hand in their homework on time. Me, on the other hand, I should say my big problem is that I can’t get myself organized! So I am wondering what your ways of getting organized are. Reply below. I’m hoping you can offer some suggestions on better study skills.
Replies

Ted
Lately, I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping.

Hana
Good question, Amy. I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desktop on my computer. I make a copy of important documents (文件).

Gloria
The most important thing is to start a few weeks before the exams and not to leave it until the night before! That’s just common sense, I think.

Lou
My tip is to have a big noticeboard in your bedroom, divided into different parts. I’ve got one. It’s a whiteboard. I’ve got a part for each school subject and another part for other things. I use board pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at them every day.

“Then why is she here today?” Jason asked.
“Well, I did tell her I’d do it today, but that was before you said you’d take me to the skate park.”
“So you promised her you’d work on it today but then you got a better offer and canceled on her?”
“But I’m still doing the project with her, just not today.”

When Jason walked back into the room, he was on the phone.
“Great! I’ll be right there.” Jason hung up the phone. “You’re never going to believe this, but Scott got tickets to a minor (较小的) league baseball game for tonight.”
Lee’s face fell. “You’re going to the ball game? What about the skate park?”
“We’ll go tomorrow. You don’t mind right?” Jason said carelessly.

Jason’s smile disappeared. “Like you promised Alice you’d work on your project today?”

“No. I just thought you should see how Alice is feeling.”
Lee looked out of the window. Alice was still standing by the mailbox. “I’ll go to get her and work on the project.”
“Good for you,” Jason said. “And ask her if she wants to go to the skate park after you’re finished.”
“Really? You’d take us?”

Dear Li Hua,
How’s everything going? Congratulations on your graduation from junior high school!
I hope you have a great time during the holiday, but there is something important for you to think about——a plan for your personal growth. Here is some advice for you.
Firstly, study by yourself. Understand what you like, what you value and what you want to be. In studying yourself, you check your strengths (长处) and weaknesses. Find out what you need to prepare for your dream job.
Secondly, write down your plan. When writing, you can try using Mind Maps. It is a good way to help you to think more clearly. And you may find a proper way to work your plan out.
Thirdly, go over your plan with your teachers, parents or friends. They may give you some advice. Think carefully about their advice and make some changes to your plan if necessary. And then you can go on with it.
Finally, ________. For example, if you want to be an English teacher in the future, you should spend more time reading English books, learning more about English culture and practising your listening and speaking from now on. You can make your dream come true only through hard work.
You may find it difficult to make a plan now. Don’t worry. All you need is just a rough one. Once you enter senior high school, you’ll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers.
And your personal growth plan may change with your age, your interests and social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Fang

What is the best virtue (美德)? What can we learn from water? Laozi, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家) who lived around 2,500 years ago, might give us an answer.
The top goodness is like water, benefiting all, competing with none, and is pleased with all that others disdain. Therefore, it is close to the Word.
—The Word and the World《道德经》
A Chinese teacher called Zhen Daqian from a high school in Beijing gave further explanation: Laozi tells us the top character is just like water. All life in the world cannot live without water, but water never asks for anything in return. It just keeps giving quietly. Also, water often stays where people don’t like, such us low-lying wetlands and deserted valleys (空旷的山谷). This kind of low profile (低调) makes water the closest to the law of the universe. It seems that we have always taken qualities like bravery and strength as great virtues, but we should not forget what water has taught us.
In dealing with people, we can act as water. Do our best to help others without trying to get fame or benefit. At the same time, stay modest (谦虚的). It’s unwise to always talk about the favors you gave to others. Even if no one cares about you in a difficult situation, you need to stay calm. After all, water will not choose where to be, it just flows to where it is needed.
We know that the Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water. In 2014, President Xi Jinping mentioned it at the welcome dinner of the 22nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Beijing. He said APEC members are brought together by the water of the Pacific Ocean and have a shared responsibility to make the Pacific an ocean of peace, friendship and cooperation (合作).
31. Which of the following is not the quality of water?
A. Low profiles. B. Bravery.
C. Giving quietly. D. Never asking for anything in return
32. What does the underlined word “disdain” mean?
A. like B. hate C. enjoy D. admire
33. What is the right way we should act as water in dealing with people?
A. Staying proud.
B. Helping others for fame and benefit.
C. Staying excited in a difficult situation.
D. Never talking about the favors you gave to others.
34. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. We Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water.
B. The water of the Pacific Ocean is very important.
C. All the APEC members should cooperate well with each other.
D All the APEC members should keep the peace of the Pacific Ocean.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?
A Laozi — A Famous Philosopher in China
B. Zhen Dagian—A Chinese Teacher
C. Water — The Best Virtue
D. Goodness — The Word and The World
【答案】31. B 32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文主要讲述了老子上善若水的思想及其在现代的运用。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“All life in the world cannot live without water, but water never asks for anything in return. It just keeps giving quietly. Also, water often stays where people don’t like, such us low-lying wetlands and deserted valleys. This kind of low profile (低调) makes water the closest to the law of the universe.”可知水教我们低调、默默付出不求回报，不包括勇敢。故选B。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“The top goodness is like water, benefiting all, competing with none, and is pleased with all that others disdain. Therefore, it is close to the Word.”（上善若水。水善利万物而不争，处众人之所恶，故几于道。）可知，带划线的单词意思是“憎恶”。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In dealing with people, we can act as water. ... It’s unwise to always talk about the favors you gave to others.”可知,与人相处时，我们应像水一样永远不要谈论你给别人的好处。故选D。
【34题详解】
段落大意题。根据“We know that the Chinese nation has always valued Laozi’s ideas about water.”及整段内容可知最后一段主要讲我们中华民族历来重视老子关于水的思想。故选A。
【35题详解】
标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了中国哲学家老子关于水的思想。老子认为最好的品德就像水一样，造福于众，不与任何人竞争，并且乐于接受他人所不屑的一切。所以，最可能做标题的应是“水——最好的美德”。故选C。
Ⅸ. 任务型阅读（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
Have you ever thought about where the things you use come from? If the things you use do not come from nature, they are man-made. We use millions of man-made things every day.
To begin with, you have to tell what things are natural. Now take a look at the beautiful river covered with ice. The ice on the river is natural while the ice in the fridge is man-made.
How about glue, pencils and money?
Is glue natural or man-made? Well, glue used to be natural in the past. People just found some materials sticky (粘的). Then they were used as glue. In modern times, many glue companies put at least four materials together in a new way to produce glue. So glue is changed to be man-made.
Pencils are made mostly from wood, graphite (石墨) and clay that come from nature. The materials are changed by adding other materials and heating to make something new—a pencil!
Think about money! We have paper money made of paper and coins made of metals, so they are natural, right? No. Its production is not an easy task. Creating money requires special machines and printing skills to make the paper or metals into money.
We are living in a world full of man-made things. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?You must decide for yourself.
