As a teenager, I had dreamt of plenty of places, such as movie theaters and museums, the middle school I was in. At that time, I thought my school was a small place that we could not do any funny things play table tennis on the ground face to face. Another thing was that it was too close to my home that any behavior(行为) against the school rule would be noticed by my parents. So for a rebellious(叛逆) teenager like me, in such a school was just like being caged in a box all day.
Although there were few activities in my school, I quite a good education there. Most teachers who taught me there had university . Besides, the ways I was taught were not outdated(过时的)even by today's standards.
Now I still remember some of the teachers. The math teacher in my fourth grade was so . She not only had excellent skills, but also had a smile on her face. Even though I haven't met her again I graduated from school. I can still remember those days she me to become a top student in my class. Actually, in the beginning I was quite poor at math and even tired of study. Luckily she made me change greatly. Now I'm majoring(主修) in math. And after graduation, I decide to be a math teacher just like her.

Lots of kids don't like school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long, but what happens if you feel this way too much? School can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.
If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You may not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along well with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and schoolwork.
When you know why you don't like school, you can start to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad and teachers will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions. Remember, you don't have to share what you wrote with others.
Besides studying and tests, teens need to learn some life skills for the future. These skills can help them live by themselves. The following are some necessary skills.
★Managing money
You often get a little money from your parents, and you may spend it as you like. You can make a list of the things that you want to buy, and plan how to spend the money. Don't waste.
★Washing and cleaning
Doing laundry correctly is important. You should first read instructions on clothing, and then check the pocket(口袋) of the clothes. Pay more attention to different colors of them. As for cleaning, you should learn how to use brooms, mops and so on. If you do more cleaning, the people who live with you will thank you for the efforts you make.
★Cooking your favorite meals
You should learn how to cook a few of your favorite meals. First ask your parents for help to decide on the menu and ingredients(原料), and then you can go shopping, cook the meals and clean the kitchen together.
A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice(威尼斯) is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't difficult. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.
They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1, 500 years ago, and built homes there. Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters.
Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years.
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.
A. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. B. This made the city get lower little by little. C. Venice is a beautiful water city. D. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. E. This has made the ice of Arctic Ocean(北冰洋) melt(融化). F. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. |
At a dark night, a man came to a lonely village. When he walked slowly, a yellow light suddenly appeared at the end of the road. It came from a lantern which was carried by a man. A villager near him said, "Here Blind Sun comes. " "Blind?" the man said, "That's too strange. A blind man
has no idea of day and night, can't enjoy the beauty of nature, or even doesn't know what the light is. Wasn't he funny to carry a lantern?"
As the lantern was coming near, the yellow light moved gradually to the man. The man asked, "Don't mind, may I ask you whether you're really blind?" The blind man answered, "Yes, the moment I stepped into the world, I can't see anything".
Th e man asked, "In that case, why do you carry a lantern?" The blind man smiled, "At night all the people without light are just as blind as me, so I light a lantern. " The man said, "I see, you light for others. " But the man said, "No, I do it for myself. " "For yourself? But there is no reason to do that, " the man felt surprised again.
Th e blind man explained, "Were you ever knocked by others in the dark?" The man nodded, "Yes, sometimes. " The man said proudly, "Believe it or not. I wasn't knocked by anyone. Although I'm blind, I carry the lantern, not only light for others, but let others see me, so they won't knock me. "
After hearing that, the man was lost in thought. . . In fact, everyone has a lamp in himself, light it actively not only for others, but also for yourself! Never put yourself in a dark situation when you feel left out and find it hard to get on well with others, are you ready to light your lamp?
(a)根据短文内容,从方框中选出每段的主旨大意。
A. Make sure he is truly a blind. B. Please light a lantern in our lives. C. The man doubted that why he took a lantern. D. The blind man lit a lantern for others and himself. E. An old man came out with a lantern. |
(b)根据短文内容,补全下面的语段,每空一词。
On a dark night, a man walked in a village. The man suddenly came out a lantern. But he was blind. The other man was that why a blind man took a lantern. The blind man lighted a lantern not for others, but also for himself. Whatever may happen, we shouldn't put ourselves in a dark .
We all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language. But in fact the differences are more fun to study, as BBC did in a recent story called 8 Situations When Britons Behave Differently From Americans. We have picked out four for you. Take a look.
When someone knocks into you
If someone knocks into an American, the victim(受害者) will probably look at the aggressor(冒失者) in the face and expect an expression of regret. If, however, the victim happens to be British, the victim will say "sorry" before the other person says it.
When you get dressed for dinner
Britons don't all change into evening dresses for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows. But they do try to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear a common shirt to a nice restaurant.
When you don't finish your food
Britons wouldn't think to take the leftovers home when dining out at a restaurant. They think the food is somehow "tainted(污染的)" because they've stuck at it with a knife and fork. But in the US, packing it up to take home is a custom.
When you get into a taxi
Britons will give the taxi driver an address, then they don't say anything with the driver before it's time to pay. Sometimes they're being taken in a wrong way, they don't like to say anything, either. In the US, however, most passengers will tell the driver which way to go after telling him or her the address.
