I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from  36_  and danger of a big city, and where teenagers like me _37_ leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that  38 _ one summer night. My friend Lisa, Kim and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house. As they kept  _39_ alcohol to me, I was pretty drunk. I asked Tyler to take me home. With some 40 _ , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. Kim, my friend   41__ we were five years old, was killed in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Kim, who was _42__ more drunk than me, got into her car and  43_  towards the highway to go home, She was driving on the wrong side of the road and never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see her  _44_ to avoid the car. They hit head on. Kim died immediately, and the driver was thrown  45_ the truck windshield(挡风玻璃)and died a week later.
Whenever I  46_ back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my  47 to drink so much that night, otherwise things would be different. I know Kim  48_ the choice to drink and drive that night , but a part of me will always feel  49 _for what happened.
I may not change the  50_ with my story, but I do hope that I can make people 51 the responsibility that they have to themselves and others by  52 it. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours  __53 .Every choice is like a stone dropped into  54  water-each ripple(波纹)represents someone who your choice  55 . That’s quite an influence, isn’t it?

核心考点
试题【I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high schoo】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
English teenagers are to receive compulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the country’s increasing obesity (肥胖 )rate. It’s feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods.
Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England---even if it was mainly aimed at girls. In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in schools. In many cases the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
“What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry---which they can use now at home and then in their later life”, said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.
The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt. There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking. Also the compulsory lessons for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it.
“If we’d done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we’ve got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they’ll be healthy, but because it’s a life skill which is a real pleasure”.
The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped.
小题1:The passage mainly talks about        .
A.the reason for obesityB.the lost cooking skills
C.the healthy eatingD.the compulsory cooking classes
小题2:Which of the following is NOT the purpose for English teenagers to receive cooking lessons?
A.To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.
B.To reduce the country’s increasing obesity rate.
C.To stop parents from turning to pre-prepared convenience foods.
D.To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.
小题3:In what way will cooking lessons benefit the students?
A.They will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.
B.They will be able to do some basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce.
C.They will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.
D.They will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.
小题4:The well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, thinks it        to offer compulsory cooking lessons in schools.
A.difficultB.necessaryC.funnyD.timely
小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that       .
A.cooking has always been an important part of school education in England
B.the obesity rate in Britain has been rapidly growing in recent decades
C.English teenagers will have their cooking lessons twice a week for one year
D.the students will pay a lot of money to the school for the

When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall, they will be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who will become Oxford’s vice-chancellor –– a position equal to university president in America.
Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel (人员) tend to head in only one direction: Outward from America.
The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators (管理人员), and has made hiring committees hungry for Americans.
In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2011, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen (监督) “ a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position”.
Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective (视角) on established practices.
小题1: What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the text?
A.Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.
B.More international students are being admitted to American universities.
C.University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.
D.A lot of activists are being hired as administrators.
小题2: What do we learn about European universities from the text?
A.The tuition they charge has been rising considerably.
B.They are strengthening their position by globalization.
C.Their operation is under strict government control.
D.Most of their money comes from the government.
小题3: In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?
A.They can improve the university’s image.
B.They will bring with them more international personnel.
C.They will view a lot of things from a new angle.
D.They can set up new academic subjects.
小题4: Which of the following would make the best title of the text?
A.High Education Globalization
B.Global Headhunting in Higher Education
C.Global Higher Education Cooperation
D.Universal Higher Education Development

Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home . So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and, the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes I saw that, it’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said.  “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me’?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
小题1:We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer     .
A.was rather impolite B.was warmly received
C.asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D.asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
小题2:The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper     .
A.changed his mind B.saw the writer’s purpose
C.accepted the offer D.decided to help the writer
小题3:How much did the writer pay?
