A
Teachers have so much to do with not enough time，and many of the things they need help with can be done right in your own home. This is a good way to have some fun with your children and show them your dedication to their education。

Even if you're not helping their teacher，your children will still see that you care。

Some of the things I’ve done for my daughter's elementary school a re sharpening pencils for her classmates，gluing student portraits to construction paper, and cutting out flash cards。

My daughter was eager to help with all of these projects, and they took us not more than an hour to complete each。

Usually the teachers give you a few days to a week or sometimes more to complete them —
so you can do this on your schedule. These are things your child can help with and can help the little ones with their math skills at the same time。

There are some more complicated(复杂的）projects that take a bit more time，but you’re not required to do those if you can't spare the time。

I am always on the computer，so I offered my time to update the PTA section of my daughter’s school website. It took a matter of
minutes to get the training from our school librarian, who maintains (维护）the rest of the school website，and I could keep it updated in my sleeping dress at home。

I’ve probably spent at most a half hour over the last year working on the website, and I still feel like I’m doing someth ing for the school.

usually took them at most an hour to complete each

helped her develop a good relation with teachers
3. What can we learn from the text about the website project?

B. It is offered along with a computer。

C. It requires some technical training。

D. It can be completed in several minutes.
B
It took me 16 years to realize that my black is beautiful。

I have believed the fact that indeed my black is beautiful now. This skin I was in for so many years determined my self worth。

I had so many factors “against" me in my mind. I was a tall，thin，dark-skinned girl with a gap-toothed smile and a head full of curly (卷曲的) hair。

Growing up, the only role model that I had was my mother, a beautiful brown and deep complexion (肤色）. It’s amazing how I could find beauty in my mother’s complexion but not my own。

One of the most outstanding memories of my childhood is that terrible word “Oh, she is so cute for a dark—skinned little girl”. People spoke as if I wasn’t in the room.
From a young age，I felt shame that my black wasn't good enough；so I buried myself in books to stay away from the mirror. I knew that my education would and could take me further than my looks。

I stopped watching TV, absorbed in my studies and I was happy with my decision。

Now I have been admitted to my ideal Coppin State University，which is all for the black students and has a long history.
I came to a breaking point where I had, for 16 years，been brainwashed to agree to the European standard of beauty。

I no longer accept this standard，because I set my own。

My black is beautiful including my full lips，the wideness of nose, and the intensity（明亮）of my eyes. I refuse to follow their standard of beauty and they can set their sights elsewhere。

I believe that there are plenty of beautiful dark-skinned women in the world.

C
Hello,
I can give you a first-hand experience since my wife and I visited Havelock Island last year.
Arriving at Havelock, you will be so attracted by the beauty of
Radhanagar Beach that you try to forget the crocodile (鳄鱼) incident. We were led off the beach at sunset by a local policeman who patrolled（巡逻）along the beach。

We also found that almost nobody was in the water along the long beach. The few that were in the water were up to their waist or so。

I don’t want to discourage you from going but it’s just worth knowing this is a very wild place where it would be possible to see many types of wild animals，including crocodiles。

During our week on the island, I went diving at several sites，all of which were a long distance from Havelock。

We spent about 45 minutes crossing the mangroves（红树林）in waist—deep water at times in order to get to the beach. If there are crocodiles on Havelock, I would say they would be there since the conditions are ideal for them — lots of mud and hot pools of still water。

Returning from Elephant Beach we got lost in the mangroves for over 2 hours and my wife started to get quite nervous. So if you go through the mangroves to get to Elephant Beach，be sure to mark the route you take to get back, since the path is almost impossible to find unless you know exactly where it is。

In summary, I would say that if you don't mind taking your holiday with some caution in not being as free to swim in the water as you want，then I would say you’ll have a good time on and around Havelock Island。

Hope this helps。

Jack

C. a crocodile incident probably once happened on Havelock
D。

the author feels regret for his visit to Havelock Island

Because he saw many types of wild animals there.

American psychologists have found that knowing an experience is about to come to an end makes people enjoy it even more。

“Endings affect us in lots of ways，and one is this kind of positive effect,” said researcher Ed O’Brien. “It’ll give you motivation（激励）. You think，‘I’d better gain the benefits of this experience even though it's going to end，' or ‘I want to get something good out of this while I still can。

’ When you simply tell people something is the last，they may like that thing more。

"
In the study, fifty—two students were asked to pick five chocolates of different flavours in random（任意的) order from a hidden pocket inside a bag，and rank how much they enjoyed it on a scale (等级) of one to five. Some of the students were told when they were about to eat the last chocolate，while others were not given any warning。

The last chocolate was found to be the favourite among the students 64% of the time, regardless of the flavour. Among the students who didn’t realize they were on their last chocolate, the last one was ranked favourite just 22% of the time。

“Many experiences have happy endings — from the movies we watch to dessert at the end of a meal —and so people may have a general expectation (期望）that things end well，" Mr. O’Brien said。

But he added that the findings of the “little chocolate test” could have wider implications (暗示）。

For example, the professor marking the last exam paper may give it a higher grade even if it’s not as good as the ones previously marked。

And employers may be more likely to give a job to the applicant （求职者）who was interviewed last。

12. The second paragraph tells us that knowing something is ending，。

A。

people will feel disappointed B. people will become proud
C. people will become inspired
D. people will become nervous
13。

We can learn from the text that 。

A。

those students were divided into three groups
B. about forty-two students took part in the study
C。

those who weren’t warned didn’t like the last chocolate
D. those who were warned liked the last chocolate better
14. Who may be most likely to cause the positive effect?
A. The student who is latest for school.
B。

The last passenger who gets on the bus。

C. The last employee who finishes the project.
D. The last person who gives a performance.
15。

Which of the following might be the best title for the text？
A. The last chocolate tastes best
B。

The best chocolate is in the box
C. The ending of an experience makes people happier
D. The latest study helps solve a puzzling problem

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

Bus rides are a necessary part of almost any long-term trip。

16 Unless flight prices suddenly rapidly drop, buses are going to continue to be the preferred method of transportation for any budget traveler and we’re all just going to have to learn to deal with it.
First, you have to mentally (精神上) prepare yourself. You cannot get on a bus thinking it will be over in a minute when in fact you will be stuck in that seat for the next 20 hours. 17 Will you sleep？Listen to music？Read? Watch a movie？Perhaps you can do a combination of all of those things，but any way，make sure you have some ideas。

18 Do you really want to suffer with 2 dead legs and a stiff back just to save a little money？Make a decision based more on your sanity （理智）than your pocket。

If you are going to be on the bus for an extended period of time，look into the different types of buses available。

Never forget food. Even if the bus company claims you will be served a meal or snacks, you should really pack your own。

19 You also run the risk of unexpected delays. Sometimes, that meal is supposed to hold you over for 10 hours instead of 5. Nothing makes a bus ride seem longer like a growling stomach。

Prepare yourself for noise. 20 You might hear a conversation you wish you didn’t have to overhear。

You could also get seated next to someone with a screaming baby. Bring along earplugs，an iPod and
patience.
A. Don't forget your camera。

B. The meals on buses might not always satisfy you.
C. You must make sure you choose the bus wisely.
D. However，in my experience, buses tend to be very cold.
E. Buses are going to have noises that you wish they didn’t.
F。

They are cheap and convenient but not always comfortable or fast。

G. Try to plan how you will occupy (占用) your mind during those hours。
