I"m a Senior 1 student in a middle school. This term, my favourite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches
us. I want to see her, but I"m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don"t want to trouble her. I really miss
her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It"s bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher. But, if she is still in your school, nothing can stop
you going to see her. When she isn"t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she
was your favourite teacher. Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always
come and go in our lives. We can"t rely on (依靠) them being with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best
qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new
teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people getting you through your studies, or even your life.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they
only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on
until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course
he isn"t really dead. With any luck he isn"t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or
jump from fast moving trains are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That
is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see
on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on
to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the
chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although
their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman"s
success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out
of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously
injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a
thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no
longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some
dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool.

B. Las Vegas is really a fascinated city. The most attractive thing here is gambling (赌博). Maybe you will

Arctic Circle. It is romantically called "The Land of the Midnight Sun" because during the summer the sun
shines continuously, even at midnight. On the other hand, it is also called "The Land of Darkness" because
in winter the opposite happens.
My classmates probably thought I liked to tell tales when I said I had to walk to school on a river in my
hometown. But it was true.
When the darkness comes, so does the cold, because there is no sun to give warmth. The land becomes
a world of ice and snow. The few roads that link villages are completely (完全地) covered with snow; people
must travel on frozen rivers. If they do not have far to go, they put on snowshoes. These shoes prevent them
from sinking into the thick snow. However, if they have a long journey to make they ride in dog sleds.
Rivers are very important to the people of the Yukon. When summer comes and the sun once more shines

But "How are you?" is also a very unusual questin. It"s a question that often doesn"t have an answer. The
person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine.", even if the person"s friend isn"t fine.
The reason is that "How are you?" isn"t really a question and "Fine." isn"t really an answer. They are simply
other ways of saying "Hello!" or "Hi!".
Sometimes, people also don"t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, "Do you
agree?", the other person might be thinking, "No, I disagree. I think you"re wrong …" But it isn"t very polite
to disagree strongly, so the other person might say "I"m not sure …". It"s a nice way to say that you don"t
agree with someone.
People also don"t say exactly what they are thingking when they finish talking with other people. For
example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I"ve to go now." Often, the person who
wants to hang up gives an excuse, "Someone is at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The
excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn"t want to
talk any more, but it isn"t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn"t hurt the other person.
When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don"t say
exactly what they are thinking. It"s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it"s also
a part of the game of language.
B. Hello!
C. I don"t know.
D. Fine.
B. I"m not sure.
C. I"m sure I disagree.
D. No, I disagree.

D. going to another place

C. Never say exactly what you"re thinking.
D. Be polite.
know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on.
These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let"s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major (专业) may
be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures
are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often
have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it"s very important
for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from
the information in your text-books. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it
isn"t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also
have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting
usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the
homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or some other science, you"ll also have to spend several hours a
week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the
classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or
history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
B. to persuade the students to attend lectures
C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D. to advise the students to choose proper majors
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students" homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students" homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C. consider experiments more important than discussions
D. read and write less than non-science majors
