AI have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my English Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist. Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalist's speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good scores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.1. After class, the author _____.A. seldom sees Ms. RunkleB. talks with Ms. Runkle quite a lotC. enjoys introducing Ms. Runkle to her friendsD. often invites Ms. Runkle to different activities2. We can infer from the text that Ms. Runkle is _____.A. friendly and helpfulB. kind and humorousC. clever and activeD. strict and boring3. The author's favorite part of Ms. Runkle's class is when Ms. Runkle _____.A. tells them how to get good scoresB. asks them questions about the worldC. asks them to describe current eventsD. tells them about events that are happening4. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To express how much she misses Ms. Runkle.B. To look back on her special high school life.C. To describe an unforgettable teacher.D. To show what makes a good teacher.BIn my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency: Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.Work with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.5.

Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.A. waste a lot of timeB. find the things you need easilyC. become a top managerD. save seven and a half hours per week7.

The village was so beautiful that the birds never wanted to leave. This story was recited to me during my visit to Fenghuang, adding a mystery to this ancient town.Fenghuang is a snapshot (快照) of idyllic (田园诗般的) village life in rural China. Set alongside the banks of the Tuojiang River, Fenghuang is full of small, winding alleys andsurrounded by green hills. Having travelled directly from the bustling city of Changsha, Fenghuang was a breath of fresh air.When I visited Fenghuang, it was July. My friend and I excitedly explored, walking along the ancient city wall and crossing the beautiful, old bridges. Despite the crowds of tourists, it seemed as if life in this corner of China had not changed for centuries. People were very relaxed. They were never bothered by the hot weather nor by the tourists, walking, eating and playing outdoors. On our first evening we bought spicy, cold noodles from a street vendor and ate on the riverbank as we watched the sun set.We stayed in a small hotel similar to many of the traditional buildings in the village. Our room was built on high stilts (桩子) over the banks of the river. From our window we could hear the rush of the water and the sounds of excited tourists travelling in small boats downstream. Even in modern times, the river continues to be the life of the village. We saw people busy at work catching fish, or ferrying tourists for sightseeing. Young children played in shallow waters and families washed their clothes and dishes.Although there were many visitors to Fenghuang, we did not see any other foreign people during our stay. It felt like we’d found a treasure to know that we had visited somewhere off the beaten track!After two days’ exploring the village, I could fully understand the legend of the phoenix. I was unwilling to leave.8. The author mentions the story of the phoenix birds in the first paragraph mainly to ______.A. show her deep interest in Chinese cultureB. introduce the topic of her trip to the town of FenghuangC. explain how the town of Fenghuang got its nameD. describe the beautiful scenery of the town of Fenghuang9. Which of the following is mentioned in the article about the town of Fenghuang?A. food cultureB. geographyC. living habitsD. weather and climate10. We can infer from the article that the author found her trip to the town of Fenghuang ______.A. boringB. relaxingC. quite an adventureD. a waste of time and money11. The underlined expression “off the beaten track” in the fifth paragraph is closest to “______” in meaning.A. far away from other people and placesB. not on a small pathC. next to a broken railwayD. easy to reach by carDYears ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: “Cinderella” (《灰姑娘》).“Cinderella” made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie got a mixed reaction. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.” Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning re-do.” Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finall y got Cinderella right.” Other people were not as happy with the movie. Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, “This Cinderella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movie's business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for “Cinderella” products.There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo worked with Disney to create “Cinderella's shoes.” You can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the party, even if that is the way you get your prince .The makeup (化妆品) company MAC quickly sold all its products connected to “Cinderella.” HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling “Cinderella” products.So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children's products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Sellers of “Cinderella” productsB. “Cinderella” is more than a movieC. What makes “Cinderella” so popularD. Unknown stories behind “Cinderella”13. The underlined part “a mixed reaction” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.A. many changesB. different storiesC. advantages and disadvantagesD. agreements and disagreements14. Products connected to “Cinderella” _____.A. do not sell very wellB. are not yet on the marketC. are mainly targeted at little girlsD. are designed for a wide group of buyers15.
