【题目】I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.

One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.

Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation（合作）and sympathy.

Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining（维持）friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.

It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane（人道）societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.

Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.

【1】The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because ______.

A. they consider animals their best friends

【2】The author used wolves as an example to ______.

A. provide the prisoners with more knowledge

B. explain the cruel side of group-living animals

C. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamwork

D. inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble

【3】We can infer from the text that some prisoners ______.

A. have turned over a new leaf

B. are required to attend the course

C. are willing to learn working skills

D. prefer humane education to science

Vacations are important. We need to take time out from work to relax, and just be

Nobody can succeed without making mistakes. I can well remember that last year an English speech contest held in our school. Because my English was the best in our class, so all my classmates encouraged me to take part in the contest. I was so shy a girl that I even dared not answer questions in class. I was afraid of making mistakes in front of so many judge. At last, my classmate Wang Ying, her English was not very good, take part in the contest and won the third prize. Heard the news, I regretted not taking part in it.. As the result, I missed a good chance to show myself.

Now, I have realized the fact which making mistakes is an unavoidable thing in our way to success. Only by making mistakes and correcting them can we make progress step by step and final achieve our goals.

【题目】Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.

You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.

At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It is not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.

Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.

Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.

With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.

【1】In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe________.

A. huge buildings B. high mountains

C. big factories D. characters in fairy stories

【2】From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.

A. protecting the environment begins with small chores

B. protecting the environment should start from childhood.

C. wonderful life comes from environmental protection

D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people

【3】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.

B. Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.

C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.

D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.

【4】The passage is mainly about_____________.

A. the use of garbage dustbins

B. how to save water and electricity

C. how to save the environment

D. our current environmental problems

Choosing the right college for you is not so easy. 【1】 The idea can help to guide you to find what fits your needs best. These guidelines will help you figure out what college you want to go to.

Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know what you want to major in, you can only look at colleges that have your major. College is about learning what you love. 【2】

【3】 Anyone who tells you the location is not important is lying. If you don’t like cold weather, stay away from northern schools. If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to your home, please do not consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to.

Think about how much money you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? 【4】 Do you have to control anything? Are you willing to go into major debt over a school? These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college.

【5】 The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life, you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with. Make sure that the people you’re with for four years are your kind of people.

A. Where the college is located matters.

B. You’d better choose a major that is popular.

C. If so, how much are they willing to spend?

D. Go to the college with some people you like.

E. Make sure you’re going to spend time with the right people.

F. You should have a general idea of what you want and don’t want.

G. So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one.

Dear Li Ming,

I am sorry to hear that you are not doing very well in your English listening. As for this, you should consider the followed three problems.

First, if you do not have a wide vocabulary, you had better make a plan to enlarge it by memorizing some word every day. Second, 10 to 20 minutes should be used to listen English. Third, use some listening skills. In fact, mastering basic skills is important or necessary, like going through the questions and answers quick. Then you can predict which the conversation is about and try to decide their main idea.

As you know, practice make perfect. As long as you keep try，you are sure to make a great progress.

Yours,

Tom

On Friday, our teacher told us that there would an English corner in front of our teaching building. I set about soon after the last class in the afternoon.

To my joy, the English corner had just been on for a few minute. I joined them on their talk. At first, I was afraid that my English was so poor and limit that I couldn’t follow them or make myself understand. I was also afraid that anyone might laugh at me. But a smiling face here or an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease. Though I speak to them only in simple English that day, I believe in future I will make a greater progress.
