The other day I was having a meal in an Italian restaurant when I got a phone call from a long lost friend. In my excitement I talked slightly than usual and in Spanish, my mother tongue. A few minutes into the the lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly , and asked the restaurant worker to find for her another as far away as possible from me. I in my seat out of embarrassment（尴尬）, feeling the to go over and apologize（道歉）.
I looked around and the lady was alone and staring out the window at the table furthest away from me. I was about to stand up when it hit me that she might prefer not to be . Right then I up my plans for a conventional（常规的） apology and decided to conduct an experiment. Seeing those Smile cards in my wallet I took one out. On signing my restaurant check I asked my waiter to charge the lady’s meal to my credit card and her a Smile card instead of her bill.
When I was I told the worker I would be back in a few hours to pick up my credit card and close the bill. I returned later as I promised, excited to learn the of the experiment. To my pleasant surprise, things the best possible way. The restaurant worker happily came up to me, telling me that for many times she had had dinner there before had they seen the old lady smile and laugh like she did receiving the Smile card and the $0 . She thanked the workers they explained that someone else did the job.
To top it off, the worker asked me about the Smile cards so as to conduct their own .
It was an interesting, fun experiment which may hopefully result in many more.

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students，it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.
Unfortunately, a number of students killed themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers' work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams, they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools.
Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students' hair to their clothes and things in their school bag. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They regard the rules as being harmful to the development of each student. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.
1.A lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because _______.
A．they work very hard
B．they find they can't do well at school
C．they feel unimportant
D．they are under too much pressure
2.Because of their failure at school, some students take drugs to _______.
A．kill themselves B．seek comfort
C．disappoint their parents D．make trouble
3.In juku-cram schools students _________．
A．are taken good care of by the teachers
B．feel no pressure
C．are trained to pass exams
D．can learn a lot of useful things
4.In ordinary Japanese schools,______________ ．
A．there are strict rules B．students feel safe
C．students can do anything D．learning is not important

My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.
My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school(研究院), I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant. What’s important is the quality of your work，Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.
If you analyze(分析) the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important.
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office: “Don’t work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.
1.From the passage, we know that the author is probably _______ .
A. an educator B. a poet
C. a novelist D. an engineer
2.We can infer from the second paragraph that we students still _______ .
A. can meet the president
B. have enough time
C. can get everything done well
D. should accept the explanation
3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A. unnecessary B. different
C. irrelated D. funny
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The author’s students make good use of their time to do all their homework.
B. The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.
C. You’ll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you’re a clever student.
D. You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time.
5.What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Don’t work harder; work smarter.
B. Students don’t have enough time.
C. No one can get more time.
D. Read better and write better.

Below is a passage adapted from the network edition of China Daily.
Event
Li Yang, one of China’s most famous English teachers, apologized for beating his American wife more than a week after she posted photos of her injuries on the web and set off a bomb of criticism. “I wholeheartedly apologize to my wife Kim and my girls for committing domestic violence. This has caused them serious physical and mental damage,” Li said on his microblog at Weibo.com, the country’s most popular social media site, on Saturday. Li, 42, is a mechanics major but is best known for his “Crazy English,” a popular method of language learning that involves yelling at the top of one’s lungs. He was at the center of public criticism after his wife Kim Lee put up posts on the web accusing him of abuse, showing her swollen forehead and knees. |
Voices
@Xuemanzi, angel investor Anti-domestic violence laws should be made as soon as possible, giving protection to the rights of women and children lawfully. Police should not stand back from domestic violence any longer, even if no one reports them. Society, as a whole, should attach greater importance to the crime. @Zhangxiaomei Chinese are never taught about marital(婚姻的) relations, which mean not merely living together. A good marriage needs to overcome three differences: family background, gender and personalities. In addition to these, there is cultural gap in Li Yang’s case. If the effects of these differences are not well understood, after the honeymoon period, they will turn into conflicts and endanger the marriage. Li’s domestic violence is a reminder that China needs such education. @Wuxiaolong, Sina Weibo user Li Yang’s choice to resort to domestic violence really reflects his character. Students who have attended his Crazy English Camp may know what I mean: Li wants his students to worship him as an idol. I still remember he once had his students kowtow（叩头） to him. He always teaches English by imposition(权威强制), which directly reflects his desire for power. @Sikaozhe, Sina Weibo user In the US, the punishments for domestic violence are even more severe than stealing. If the police arrive at the wife’s call during a fighting between a couple and find injuries on her, they will immediately arrest the husband. Even if the wife doesn’t call the police, they may also show up as neighbors could well do their part. @ykxin Sina Weibo User Don’t blindly worship anyone, because in every closet there may hide a skeleton. As a famous Chinese saying goes, “Only they who do well in their daily routine tasks can fulfills their dreams on great occasions”. Not surprisingly, one who focuses too much on his career and ignores his family, like Li Yang, will fail in both. Don’t judge a person by his career success, wealth, or any other material aspect, because what finally decides a person is his character. |
Aftermath(余波)
Although Li Yang publicly apologized to his wife, promising to love his daughters even if he and Lee divorce, the damage, perhaps permanently, has been done to his wife, his three daughters and the whole family. Wang Xingjuan, founder of the Maple Women’s Psychological Consulting Center, a non-profit organization, said nearly half of domestic violence abusers are people who have higher education, senior jobs and social status. She said this was probably because such people were usually under more mental stress. |

3.Who thinks that character plays the most important role in one’s life?

C．@ykxin D．@Zhangxiaomei
4.According to Wang Xingjuan, .
A．people of higher education won’t easily lose temper
