第十八天一.美文晨读Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.知识改变命运二.词汇训练1.

The parts for the bodies and engines were hand made and the cars were built from these. One at a time. This took a long time, and the cars cost a lot of money.

All the parts were then fitted together in the car factories.Modern car-making factories are so large that each one is really a lot of factories close together. Each workshop makes some parts. The pieces of a car body are joined together by welders(电焊工) . All the bits and pieces that make up each car are collected and put ready for the assembly line(装配线) , where they are fitted together.1.

It does not mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, every one of us had to "face the music", especially as children. We can all remember father's angry voice, "I want to talk to you!" and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase "to face the music" is familiar to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?The first explanation comes from the American novelist James Penimore Cooper. He said in 1851 that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings (舞台两侧) to go on stage (_舞台). When they got their cue (提示) to go on, they often said, "Well, it's time to go to face the music." And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra (管弦乐队) which was just below the stage.6.

This would be the first time that his classmates and teacher met his mother and he was embarrassed by her appearance. Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a severe scar that covered nearly the entire 3 right side of her face. The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar.At the conference, the people were impressed by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother despite the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed and hid himself from everyone. He did, however, get within earshot 4 of a conversation between his mother and his teacher, and heard them speaking."How did you get the scar on your face?" the teacher asked.The mother replied, "When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught on fire 5. Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, so I went in. As I was running toward his crib 6, I saw a beam coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked unconscious7 but fortunately, a fireman came in and saved both of us." She touched the burned side of her face. "This scar will be permanent 8, but to this day, I have never regretted doing what I did."At this point9, the little boy came out running towards his mother with tears in his eyes.

If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I've seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and ,instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. 2◇Don't expect to be best friends.Some roommates become the best of friends, and some don't. Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 3 And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend, don't worry.◇ 4This applies to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.◇Clean up after yourself.This should do without saying. Don't be lazy. Or, at least, don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I've come across in college are messy. 5 But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.A.Think twice before you help your roommates out.B. This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness.C. You don't have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.D. Ask before you take.E. It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.F. Sometimes you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.G. Remember, you're trying to make a new friend, not to scare your roommate away.四.完形填空My parents fixed in me the ideas of family,faith and patriotism(爱国主义)when I was young. __1__we struggled to make ends meet ,they__2__ to me and my four brothers and sisters how __3__ we were to live in a great country with __4__ opportunities.I got my first real __5 __ when I was ten.

第七天一、美文晨读The first report was that hundreds in the delta had died. But by the third day, estimates were that 40,000 people could be dead or missing, and perhaps one million might be left homeless. Bodies were floating in rivers that were mixed with ocean water. There was little fresh water and little food. For unknown reasons, the government was refusing most offers of international aid.The cyclone had hit the capital of Myanmar with winds of 120 mph. It was as powerful as Hurricane Katrina, which in 2005 destroyed much of New Orleans. Katrina killed 1,800 people and left about 100,000 people homeless.Meteorologists watched the cyclone closely and warned the Myanmar government about it two days before the cyclone hit the country. But the Myanmar government failed to warn citizens to prepare for the dangerous storm.“We were in our hotel,” said an American tourist who was visiting the capital with his wife. “We could see the weath er changing, but the locals didn’t seem to be worried. When the wind smashed the windows in our hotel room, we started worrying. The wind blew the rain and tree branches and other debris into our room. We went into the bathroom and got into the tub. We did n’t feel safe in the bathroom, but where could wego? The wind howled and things banged around forever. We thought we were going to die for sure. When the storm finally passed, we looked outside. We couldn't believe the destruction. Mostly all we could see was just water.” There was no telling when power would be restored or when roads would be usable. The Myanmar government was doing nothing to help matters. “That’s because they prefer that we all die,” said an angry survivor.二、词汇训练1.

第二十二天一。
美文阅读Once a circle missed a wedge(楔)。
The circle wanted to be whole,so it went around looking for its missing piece。
But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly,it admired the flowers along the way。
It chatted with worms。
It enjoyed the sunshine。
It found lots of different pieces,but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching。
Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly。
It was so happy。
Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated(组合)the missing piece into itself and began to roll。
Now that it was a perfect circle,it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers of talking to the worms。
When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly,it stopped,left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away。

AOne day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in a worker was dependability.David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn’t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”21.The author gave David an interview to _______.A. find a person who is reliableB. find a part-time worker in needC. give him some practiceD. show sympathy for him22.The author finally hired David because________.A. there were no other workers in the shop thenB. he needed someone who was willing to work thenC. David kept showing upD. he realized David was dependable23.We can infer from the last paragraph that_______.A. some customers just play jokes on DavidB. David has had his character changed through workC. the author prefers David to be more outgoingD. the author feels lucky to hire DavidBMen who wear pink shirts to work earn more and are easier to get a higher position than those who prefer traditional shirt colors, such as white and blue, according to a recent survey. Researchers also found that men who wore pink were more likely to get praise from female co-workers and were more confident in the office.A classical pink shirt wearer earns £1,000 more a year than those who choose other colors, researchers surveyed among 1,500 male office workers. Men who wear pink are also twice as likely to have the Master’s degree as those who prefer white shirts, with one in ten pink shirt wearers having a PHD.Stephanie Thiers-Ratcliffe, International Marketing Manager for Cotton USA, who took charge of the study, said, “You can tell a lot about someone by the color he wears. Pink is a color that more and more men have been wearing recently, and it is encouraging that they are not afraid to experiment with that bright color. They spend most of their days at work and their own confidence needs to remain smart. It is good for company standards, but that doesn’t mean that they have to wear boring clothes.” Pink shirt wearers on the other hand are more likely to have a low-carbon (低碳的) life for half of them prefer to choose public means of transportation to go to work.The report also found men who preferred green shirts were the most likely to be late forwork, while white shirt fans were the most punctual (准时的).24. According to the survey, pink shirt men ____.A. usually graduate from famous universities or collegesB. prefer to go to work by car with their co-workersC. earn more money than those in other colorsD. are better at pleasing their bosses in the office25. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. the color a man wears can influence his personalityB. the color a man wears can show a lot about himC. pink is the best of all the colors a man likes舒中高二英语第2页(共8页)D. wearing pink can make a man become happy26. According to the passage, who is the least likely to be late for work?A. Jack who often wears pink shirts.B. Mike who often wears green shirts.C. Tom who often wears white shirts.D. Alan who often wears blue shirts.27. If you want to get a higher place in your c ompany, you’d better wear ____.A. purpleB. pinkC. greenD. whiteCCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries,the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. But there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization willbe your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation.Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you or to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.28. The underlined word “brutal” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.A. impoliteB. illegalC. cruelD. extreme29.

Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new mobile at full price.A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia(恐惧症)”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.Fortunately, there’s a solution.The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so serious.Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.Of course, there are also technological choices. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phone’s location.He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s d escription of its product reads like a prescription(处方) for anxiety: “60million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and w ork, as soon as the very next day!”32. Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.C. To warn us that we should be careful.D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.33. Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?A. Avoiding using a phone for some timeB. Learning more about modern technologyC. Protecting one’s phone against any damageD. Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work34. Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?A. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.B. It will give you a new phone through insurance.C. It enables you to reconnect with your family, friends and work.D. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Attitude toward mobile phonesB. New mobile phone technologyC. Disadvantages of mobile phonesD. Solutions to nomophobia第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

安徽省六安市舒城中学2016年高二英语暑假作业2第二天一、美文晨读If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” syas a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.” If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begain early enough. I often hear grown up people say “ I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.二、词汇训练1.

To operate the library, he gave up his job, living entirely on his savings.Readers can take as many books as they want, for as long as they want. It's a policy you might assume would end very quickly—with Guanlao having no books at all.But in fact, in the 12 years he's been running his library - he's found that his collection has grown rather than reduced.Guanlao started his library shortly after the death of his parents. He kept thinking back to the happy days when his parents still lived him. The memories drove him to do something. Then he hit upon the idea of promoting the reading habit he picked up from his parents. He put the books - a collection of fewerthan 100 - outside the door of his house to see if anyone wanted to borrow them. They did, and they brought the books back with others to add to the collection - and the library was born. Now there are 2,000 or 3,000 on the shelves and in the boxes outside his front door.The library is not advertised, but every day, a steady stream of people find their way there. There are history books, textbooks for children, as well as some fashion magazines available.Guanlao does not wait for people faraway to find him - he goes to them, on his "book bike", which has a large basket piled high with books.He's also started to set his sights outside Manila. His latest plan is to help a friend who wants to start up a library in the far south of the country. "A book should be used and reused. It has life, it has a message." Guanlao said. "As a book caretaker, you become a full man."1. Which of the following is TRUE of Guanlao?A. He loves reading.B. He lives a wealthy life.C. He built a library in 2010.D. He goes to his library after work.2. Why did Guanlao decide to start a library?A. He did it in honour of his parents.B. He wanted to realize his parents’ dream.C. He found fewer and fewer people like reading.D. He intended to help peop le who can’t afford to buy books.3. According to the text, books in Guanlao’s library _______.A. totalled about 1,000 at the beginningB. are mostly from readers’ donationsC. are targeted at adultsD. can’t be taken away4. It can be inferred from the text that _______.A. many people travel a lot to go to Guanlao’s libraryB. there are many such libraries across the countryC. Guanlao thinks the job is well worth doingD. Guanlao advertises his library.BStudents at New Market Elementary School had a fitter lifestyle last week. About 50 students participated in a 30-minute workout after school on Friday in the school’s gym. This was a Fit Fridays program introduced at the school by Families Plus, a nonprofit group that provides programs to enrich the lives of families and children in Frederick County.The free program aims to encourage students from kindergarten through fifth grade to be physically active by having them participate in various age-appropriate activities designed to promote a love of exercise, according to Kim Ragan, head of the program.The program, which started at the school on Nov. 9, 2013, has since become a hit, Ragan said.Emily Liston, 37, said the program allows students to focus on fitness as a priority in their lives. “There are so many things to stop them from being active,” she said. “So anything to keep them moving is good, especially in the winter months.”Jennifer Mitchell, 40, whose daughter Alexandra, 7, participated in the Fit Fridays program, said that learning the importance of being active isn’t the only thing students are learning from the new program. “It’s a great opportunity for them to get some exercise and also to learn to get along and so cialize, to learn teamwork,” she said. “In school they have to do activities like this but here they want to do it.”Riley Glynn, 9, a fourth grader at the school, said his favorite part of the program is getting to spend more time with his friends. “It’s fun to play with people,” Riley said. “It’s like physical education after school but it really helps you.”“You learn how to make yourself stronger,” said Megan Hummel, 7, a first grader.Ragan said she plans to expand the program to include other schools in the county, but she has been having trouble finding fitness instructors to participate. “As soon as I can get instructors to teach, we’ll expand.” shesaid.5. What’s the purpose of the Fit Fridays program?A. To teach students the importance of physical education.B. To help students get through the tough winter months.C. To introduce students to fun physical activities.D. To keep students active through exercise.6. The underlined word “priority” in the fourth paragraph probab ly refers to something very ______.A. successfulB. importantC. impressiveD.unpopular7. Jennifer’s words show that the program _______.A. benefits the students a lotB. raises the students’ confidenceC. is more important than physical educationD. is completely differentfrom school activities.8. Who values the time spent with friends in the program?A. Megan HummelB. Jennifer MitchellC. Riley GlynnD. Emily Liston五、书面表达随着科学技术的不断发展,手机已经在人们的生活中变得越来越普及。

It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.

安徽省六安市2016年高二英语暑假作业23Word版含答案
第二十三天一.美文晨读What I love most about winter is its snow.The early snows fall soft and white and seem to heal the landscape. There are as yet no tracks through the drifts, no muddied slush in the roads. The wind sweeps snow into the scars of our harvest-time haste, smoothing the brow of hill, hiding furrow and cog and trash in the yard. Snow muffles the shriek of metal and the rasp of motion. It covers our flintier purposes and brings a redeeming silence, as if a curtain has fallen on the strivings of a year, and now we may stop, look inward, and rediscover the amber warmth of family and conversation.At such times, locked away inside wall and woolen, lulled by the sedatives of wood-smoke and candlelight, we recall the competing claims of nature. We see the branch and bark of trees, rather than the sugar-scented green of their leaves. We look out the window and admire the elegance of ice crystal, the bravely patient tree leaning leafless into the wind, the dramatic shadows of the stooping sun. We look at the structure of things, the geometry of branch and snowflake, family and deed.When snowflake drifts the road we head indoors and resign ourselves to the quiet crackle of the wood fire. The example of the woodpile and the well-stocked larder tells us that we can achieve what we dream, and winter brings us long, silent nights to dream on.二.词汇训练1. Oh, grow up!

All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken orwritten in letters, are called words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal(具有感染力)powerfully to our minds and emotions(情感). This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey(转达)his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar(粗俗的).5. According to the author of the passage, .A. men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughtsB. the origin language is a difficult questionC. words did not have written form at firstD. words came from sounds6.

Words do matter. And these words in some respect, can be seen as humiliating or a put-down to people with special needs, do cause pain. And they do result in stereotypes,” Shriver said.White House spokesman Bill Burton said Obama “made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to look down upon the Special Olympics.”“He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world,” Burton said.16.

The ticket was worth $18 million after all deductions. Jean Fenn was charged with grand larceny. A conviction could put her in prison for up to seven years.The real winner of the ticket, Kevin Hayes, 66, presented it a week ago to the liquor store where he had bought it. That store will receive one percent of the prize, or $180,000. The owner of the store, Mark Abrams, 56, was overjoyed. “Last year we had a storm that blew half of our roof off. It cost $25,000 to put a new roof on.”Hayes said he was reminded to check his numbers when he heard that a woman had lost her winning ticket. He and his wife had been camping in the mountains when the winning number was drawn.“But I feel sorry for this woman," said Hayes. "She only did this out of desperation. In fact, I'm going to help her out financially after she gets out of prison. It’s a shame th at this wealthy country has so many poor people. So, I’m going to donate a lot of this money to different charities. What do I need $18 million for?”The checks to Hayes and Abrams should arrive within two weeks, according to a lottery spokesman. The spokesman mentioned that lottery players should remember that the odds of winning the lottery are only about one in forty million. Even so, most people think that SOMEONE has to win, and it might as well be them.二.词汇训练1.

安徽省六安市舒城中学2016年高二英语暑假作业3第三天一、美文晨读“They’re going to kick me out of my own home,” said Karl Berger, 86 years old. Karl is a widower with no living children. When Karl’s wife died a couple of years ago, he told the Social Security Administration to stop sending monthly checks to his wife. But the agency continued to send the checks. Karl called again; a clerk said not to worry. He told Karl to mail a followup letter that included his wife's date of death. But the checks continued to come. Karl needed the money, so he cashed his wife’s checks.When SSA finally realized its mistake, it sent Karl a letter saying that he owed SSA $5,900 plus interest. Karl receives only $12,000 a year, which is slightly above poverty level. The only savings that he ever had--$5,000--was spent on his wife’s funeral. He fought on Iwo Jima, site of one of the most furious battles of World War II. The battle left him deaf in one ear and almost blind in one eye.His small house used to be in a good neighborhood. He takes the bus once a week to visit his wife's grave. The rest of his time is spent at home, where he carves wooden military figures that he donates to a local charity. The charity sells the carvings and uses the money to help feed the homeless.SSA gave Karl six months to pay the debt in full. Otherwise, the SSA letter said, the agency would seize his home. Karl wrote back, asking if it would be okay to pay $30 a month. That was all he could afford.“That’s insufficient,” said William Shatner, an SSA agent. “We kn ow that he is a war veteran, but that doesn’t entitle him to free money. He knew that his wife was dead, yet he cashed her monthly checks. That is fraud, pure and simple.”二、词汇训练1. Sorry for the ________(延误)of twenty minutes, Mr. Weaver.2.

安徽省六安市舒城中学2016年高二英语暑假作业10第十天一、美文晨读Roland was a carpenter in Virginia. He and Sheila had three kids—two boys and baby Jessica. The baby had been in and out of the hospital for the last year because of infections and other problems. She was very weak and sick. The doctors were not confident that she would live another year.Taking care of Jessica was expensive. The family was deep in debt. Roland, an independent subcontractor, had medical insurance, but he had very high deductibles.Things were bad. Roland saw no light at the end of this tunnel. Then he saw an ad in the newspaper: “Security guards/contract workers wanted. $100,000 a year. First $80,000 tax free. $20,000 bonus for extending contract an extra year.” He called the number. The line was busy, but he kept calling and finally got through. He was worried that the jobs were all taken, but they told him plenty of jobs were still available. They said they would give him two weeks of training in Texas. Then they would fly him to Iraq for his assignment.Roland told Sheila he had to take this job. He knew it was dangerous; he might get injured or killed, but the money was too good. Plus, the family would have full medical benefits, which would enable the baby to get the care she needed. Roland said if he survived the first year, he would probably sign up for the bonus and a second year.Sheila was worried. She asked, “What if you get killed?

安徽省六安市舒城中学2016年高一英语暑假作业23第二十三天美文晨读Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness; but fortune is not so blind as men are. Those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually on the side of the industrious, as the winds and waves are on the side of the best navigators. In the pursuit of even the highest branches of human inquiry, the commoner qualities are found the most useful---such as common sense, attention, application, and perseverance.Ⅰ.短语翻译1. a simple matter ________________________.2. be associated with _____________________.3. all kinds of ___________________________.4. run a competition ______________________.5. official currency ______________________.Ⅱ.语法填空An elderly teacher,with a pupil by his side,took a walk through a forest.

Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒). ___16___Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. ___17___ Those given a little were given the chanc e to destroy the large amount of money given to others---but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.___18___But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”___19___They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires ___20___. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others’ success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G.

第三十天一、美文晨读Flowers are a wonderful gift of nature。
Everyone likes them。
Flowers portray love,happiness,joy and all the other positive emotions。
Since time immemorial flowers have been an integral part of every celebration and festival。
But there has been a misconception. Flowers are mainly associated with feminine gender。
It is forgotten that men to have a soft side to them. Gift your father a bouquet of flowers on Father’s Day and he surely will be overjoyed. Flowers, especially architectural and bold like tropical flowers,which are masculine,long lasting, tall and sturdy like the fathers usually are, can be given。
White and Red Rose are known to be the official flowers of Father’s Day。
People wear a white rose to honor a father who has deceased and a red rose for a father who is living。
Men love bright, hot,bold and aggressive colors like yellows,oranges, purples and reds and the arrangements that they go for are mostly the linear ones that are in sync with their organized, calculating mind. They also love the natural and contemporary floral bouquets that are stylish and trendy。
安徽省六安市舒城中学2016年高二英语暑假作业 第二十三天 含答案
第二十三天一.美文晨读What I love most about winter is its snow。
The early snows fall soft and white and seem to heal the landscape. There are as yet no tracks through the drifts, no muddied slush in the roads。
The wind sweeps snow into the scars of our harvest—time haste,smoothing the brow of hill,hiding furrow and cog and trash in the yard。
Snow muffles the shriek of metal and the rasp of motion。
It covers our flintier purposes and brings a redeeming silence,as if a curtain has fallen on the strivings of a year,and now we may stop, look inward,and rediscover the amber warmth of family and conversation。
At such times,locked away inside wall and woolen,lulled by the sedatives of wood-smoke and candlelight, we recall the competing claims of nature。
We see the branch and bark of trees, rather than the sugar—scented green of their leaves。

There are as yet no tracks through the drifts, no muddied slush in the roads. The wind sweeps snow into the scars of our harvest-time haste, smoothing the brow of hill, hiding furrow and cog and trash in the yard. Snow muffles the shriek of metal and the rasp of motion. It covers our flintier purposes and brings a redeeming silence, as if a curtain has fallen on the strivings of a year, and now we may stop, look inward, and rediscover the amber warmth of family and conversation.At such times, locked away inside wall and woolen, lulled by the sedatives of wood-smoke and candlelight, we recall the competing claims of nature. We see the branch and bark of trees, rather than the sugar-scented green of their leaves. We look out the window and admire the elegance of ice crystal, the bravely patient tree leaning leafless into the wind, the dramatic shadows of the stooping sun. We look at the structure of things, the geometry of branch and snowflake, family and deed.When snowflake drifts the road we head indoors and resign ourselves to the quiet crackle of the wood fire. The example of the woodpile and the well-stocked larder tells us that we can achieve what we dream, and winter brings us long, silent nights to dream on.二.词汇训练1. Oh, grow up!

Sub health is marked by general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune system.A survey held in 16 cities with over 1 million population showed high proportions of urban Chinese have been suffering sub health problems.The numbers are particularly high in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with 75.31, 73.49, and 73.41 per cent respectively of residents in poor health, the survey(调查) showed.The problem happens mostly among senior and middle-level managers, clerks and other white-collar workers with high education levels, said the website of the Red Cross Society of China."The sub health condition, found in most cases among groups of people with a high educational level, will have bad effects on China's long-term development and progress if not dealt timely and properly," the website warned.A survey by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the average life of Chinese intellectuals is 58 years, 10 years lower than the nation's average.This early death phenomenon may be increasing.Among Chinese people with high education in the 25-59 age group, the death rate for women is as high as 10.4 per cent. For men it is even higher: 16.5 per cent.A report published by the China Sub Health Academic Seminar said the country's health is going through a transitional(过渡的) period and many long-term diseases have taken the place of infectious diseases such as SARS, cold as the main cause of death."Bad working habits, poor disease prevention knowledge, not enough governmental investment and lack of health education are the main reasons," said Yang Xiaoduo, a healthcare expert with a local health association, who said China should race against time seeking measures to solve the sub health problem.1.

Bad working habits2. little knowledge about disease prevention3. little money spent on the sub health4. poor health educationA. 1, 2B. 1, 2,3C. 1, 2 , 4D. 1,2 ,3 ,4BHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations –the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal(具有感染力)powerfully to our minds and emotions(情感). This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey(转达)his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar(粗俗的).5. According to the author of the passage, .A. men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughtsB. the origin language is a difficult questionC. words did not have written form at firstD. words came from sounds6.
