In fact, at the time they seemed to be ordinary events, but now everything seems different. I had spent 10
years away from the place where I was born. Even though I made the decision to leave my country by myself, I
miss a lot of things now. The person that brought me the happiest memories is my best friend. She is the greatest
person in the world, and I am not exaggerating(吹嘘). She is kind, funny, polite, and always willing to listen, and
has been a great friend. I always recall(回想)events from our childhood. I think about the school where we met in
the first grade and went on until the 5th grade. I think about the talks we had and the things we did together. If
someone wants me to describe our friendship, I’d say we have been close friends for 17 years and we never got
angry with each other. It’s amazing, isn’t it? I haven’t been able to do that with anybody else. Sometimes I even
feel guilty(有罪的). I miss her more than my own brothers and sisters. And of course besides those memories, my
kids are number one in my life. I have plenty of beautiful memories with them, especially when they were born,
which also turned out to be a sad moment for both of them, because they were premature babies(早产儿). Anyone,
who has had an experience with a premature baby, can figure out what I mean.
1. How does the writer feel about her best friend?
A. She is patient and fun.
B. She is famous in the world.
C. she is more important than her sons.
D. They have been best friends and lived close.
2. How long has the writer spent with her friend?
A. For 5 years. B. For 6 years.
C. For 10 years. D. For 17 years.
3. Which of the following words has the same meaning of “figure out”?
A. Guess B. Look for C. Understand D. Point out
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer still lives in her own country.
B. They got to know each other in their childhood.
C. The writer felt tired of looking after her children.
D. It’s common that the writer never quarreled with her friends.
CConfucius (孔子) had a lot to say about how to live a good life. What’s your favorite Confucius saying?
Students from Medfield School posted their favorite sayings on this class webpage.
Tam -“Do not do to others as you do not wish to be done to you.”
I like it best. To me, it’s the most important life rule. Just the other day, I was with a friend in class and she
started talking badly about a classmate of ours. I kept on thinking about how bad our classmate would feel if he
knew she was saying such terrible things! I know I wouldn’t like it!
Rosa -“In the company of two others, I can always find one worthy of being my teacher.”
It is my favorite. I like to remind(提醒) myself of this saying when practicing with classmates in school. I
can learn a lot from others, even from their mistakes. This saying gives me courage and reminds me to pay
attention.
Andre-“To go too far is as bad as to fall short.”
This is my favorite. It means that to do too much of something is as bad as not doing enough. For example, I
wanted to lose a few kilos for a big party so I didn’t eat enough and exercised all the time. In the end, I got really
sick and couldn’t even go to the party! For me, it’s important to find a balance(平衡) to achieve my dreams.

My friend Jerry is a manager at a restaurant. If someone has a bad day, he always helps that person look on
the bright side.
Once I asked Jerry, “How can you be so positive（乐观的） all the time?” He replied, “Every morning I tell
myself I have two choices for that day—to be in a good mood（心情）or in a bad mood. I choose the good one.
When something wrong happens, I can be sad and angry or I can learn from it. I choose to learn. Life is all about
choices. You can choose how a situation will influence your mood. ”
One morning, three men broke into Jerry’s restaurant and pointed a gun at him. They ordered Jerry to give
them all the money. During that time, Jerry was shot by mistake（无意中枪）. Luckily, he was quickly found and
brought to the nearest hospital. Doctors saved his life in time.When I met him, I asked if he was afraid. “I got really afraid at first. But I kept telling myself I chose to live
this time. When the nurse asked me if I was allergic（过敏的）to anything, I replied. ‘Yes, bullets（子弹）!’

Some people think just letter grades or scores of the report card can’t be a good way to encourage students to
work hard. Nowadays, students’ grades are shown in many different ways in schools. Some schools just give
students some comments (评语) in a card where teachers describe the skills a student needs to work on without
giving letter grades such as A or exact numbers.
These schools give their reasons. The grades don’t say much about which skills a student has learned. What’s
more, it stops the parents from comparing their children with others. In fact, they think that worse grades just
mean you are having trouble with it. A teacher’s comment usually gives more information. Besides, it can avoid
hurting children’s pride.
Many students feel happy because they don’t need to be compared with others. More importantly, they don’t
need to feel upset if their grades are not that good. Many parents also feel that the letter grades or number grades
are out of date. It time to change.In fact, the grades or ranking (排名) of an exam can’t show that a student is a “good” one or a “bad” one.
Students should pay close attention to the teachers’ comments instead of grades. They will guide students in the
steps to improve.
1. What can bad grades show about a student?
A. Problems he has with study. B. More information about him.
C. The skills he has learned. D. The difference between him and others.
2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Teachers’ comments can help to protect students’ pride.
B. Many parents disagree that ways of grading should be changed.
C. Many students feel happy if they aren’t compared with others.
D. Giving comments can guide students to improve themselves.
3. What’s best title of the passage?
A. Giving letter grades in the card B. Showing exact numbers on paper
C. Giving teachers’ comments in a card D. Showing ranking in an exam

阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。
Many of us read news every day. Maybe it’s because we’d like to know what’s happening in the world.
Today we can get news from TV or the Internet, but how did ancient people get news?
At the very beginning, information spread from mouth to mouth. People knew their communities from
neighbors or travelers. Ancient Romans changed the way people got news. They posted daily happenings at public
squares in the cities. Ancient Chinese did it in another way. The government had news sheet（传单）sent to
officials（官员）in the whole country so that people could know what was going on in the capital.
In the 15th century, the development of printing technology led to one step in helping news spread. In the
16th century, the first real newspapers appeared. People started to form the habit of reading newspapers and share
their opinions. The invention of telegraph（电报）machines led to another big step in news spreading. News
stories were sent to the papers in minutes instead of weeks.
Now we get news in seconds from all over the world. We can become some kind of reporters by posting
online what happens around us.
