It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn't seem able to do anything right. As I wrote out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to quit. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done”, he said, “you're looking after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunshine to the human spirit; no flower can grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism; we are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why---when one word of praise can bring such benefit?
In fact, to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort but will reward both the giver and the recipient（接受者） with a happy day. Let’s learn to give credit（赞扬） to people around us.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The First Lesson of the New Term, a TV programme about how to protect oneself in time of emergency, is meant to provide school students with the knowledge on self-protection. It will help students in case of natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, snowstorms or floods. Many examples show that enough knowledge about self-protection along with enough courage and willpower can help many survive.
The example is from the earthquake in Sichuan Province in May of 2008. While thousands of school kids were killed by collapsed school buildings, all students from a middle school survived even without a single one being hurt. That’s because of their timely and orderly evacuations (撤离), which they had been drilled in every term.
It’s good to see that this program is the most important activity of a national campaign to make students be aware of personal safety. Chinese Education Ministry has called on all schools national-wide to give lessons on self-protection knowledge in time of emergency every term.

第二节读写任务 (共1小题, 满分25分)

阅读下面的短文, 然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.

Students should concentrate on their lessons and not be distracted by housework chores, farm labour, and other daily manual work. The reason is obvious. Students are trained to be future builders of this country with knowledge and skills. They are not trained to be manual workers. Knowledge and skills are what they need. It never matters if they always leave their rooms in a mess. Their parents never fail to clean up and pick up after them. Nor does it matter if the school kids can never carry a bag of flour or something like that. Leave it to those less educated. Nor does it matter if the kids never wash their clothes. Leave it to the laundry. In a word, it does not matter if the kids can not and will not do any chores and manual work. As long as they set their minds to their lessons, everything else will take care of themselves.

第二节读写任务(共1小题，满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The generation gap between students and teachers is becoming more significant with only 3.3 percent out of a survey group of 1,000 students from 30 key middle schools in the city saying they would be willing to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts.
In today’s educational environment, teachers are positioned to be the authority figure for learning instead of also becoming good friends in the life of students.
As only students with good marks in exams are considered the “ apples in the eyes” of the teachers, most students think their teachers to be partial (偏心).
“ I feel sad to hear such remarks”, said Yu Yi , a well-known special-class teacher.
She recalled that in the past, teachers and students would play basketball together or comment on the novels while sitting on the grass during a break. But today, study and good marks are the only topics of conversation between students and teachers.
“Schools are not only the place where knowledge is imparted (传授) but also where students are taught how to be an upright person,” Yu said. “The success of a person is not merely determined by intelligence but also by emotional state. ”
Yang Xiong, director of the Juvenile Research Institute, said the educational system which focuses on examinations should be held to be substantially responsible.
