It was a normal school day for senior Solymar Solis until an unexpected visitor arrived. Her dad, Sgt. Carlos Solis Melendez, surprised her by coming home early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.
After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected. He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student’s desk to blend in with the crowd. “It came across my mind like, ‘How is she going to react?’〞 he recalled the heartwarming moment. “Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry? That was all going on through my mind.〞
As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth. She didn’t talk. She was just crying. She was overwhelmed with everything. She thought it was a dream.
Melendez was a single parent so while he was deployed (调动(diàodòng)), he got his sister to live with his daughter. When he was coming back and talking
to his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter. Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this thing, and it turned out perfect.
The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy–daughter time now that he’s home. “It means everything,〞 Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way. “After all the sacrifices(牺牲(xīshēng)) she’s made, she deserves all the special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations. I’ll do anything for my daughter. I believe I’m doing good parenting.〞

Nearly everyone is bullied (欺负(qī fu)) at some time in their lives. If you are being bullied, you may feel scared, but you owe it to yourself to try and sort out the situation so that the bullying stops.
It is surprising that all sorts of people who are now very successful adults were bullied when they were young. It is encouraging to know that it is possible to succeed, in spite of being bullied at school. All of these well–known people were bullied at school: Phil Collins, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise and many others.
WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM BEING BULLIED?
If your school has an anti–bullying system, use it to get help. If you’re not sure how it works, then talk to a teacher. Some schools ignore bullying, but don’t become resigned (听天由命(tīng tiān yóu mìng)) to being a victim. You can still help yourself and ask others to help you.
Tell a friend what is happening. Ask him or her to help you. It will be harder for the bully to pick on you if you have a friend with you for support.
Don’t fight back if you can avoid it. Most bullies are bigger or stronger than you. If you fight back you could make the situation worse, get hurt or be
blamed for starting the trouble.
Try to avoid being alone in the places where you know the bully is likely to pick on you. This might mean changing your route to school, avoiding parts of playground, or only using common rooms when other people are there.
Keep a diary of what is happening. Write down the details of the incidents and your feelings. When you do decide to tell someone, a written record of the bullying makes it easier to prove what has been going on.
28.What could be the best title of the passage?
A.What to do if bullied
B.How bullying occurs

—whose fault?
29.From the first two paragraphs we can infer that_____ .
A.bullying seldom happens among people

31. By writing down the details of the incidents, you can______
A.change the bad situation

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙(jiàn xì))with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示(ànshì)) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use
silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈(zhì yù)) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32 What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A.It implies anger.
B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific.
D.It is content-based.
33.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A.The Chinese.
B.The French.
C.The Mexicans.
D.The Africans.
34.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B.Break it while
treating patients.
C.Evaluate its harm to patients.
D.Make use of its healing effects.
35.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Sound and Silence
B.What It Means to Be Silent
C.Silence to Native Americans
D.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

书面(shūmiàn)表达
Recently, the students in our school had a heated discussion on whether it is right for students to carry smart phones all the time or not. The opinions about it vary from student to student. Some in favour of it hold the view that it’s convenient to contact others, especially it is necessary in emergency.
However, those who are against think that students are not supposed to. In their opinion, some students can’t resist the temptation to play games and watch something improper for them at improper time, wasting their precious time they should spend studying and taking sports. Besides, playing games may cost them too much.
As far as I’m concerned, we should take full advantage of time and value our studies and safety mor e than other things. As for relaxation, we’d better do what is beneficial to both mind and body.
