【題目】At 13, Hawa Abdulai Yorke left her family’s home, in Ghana, Africa, to live with an aunt who promised to send her to school. Instead, the aunt put Yorke to work as her maid(傭人). Determined to go to school, Yorke returned home and began selling water in a nearby city to raise money for her education. However, her father spent the money she had earned on a motorcycle.

Yorkers story is familiar to girls growing up in Ghana. There, a girl’s place is in the home. Educating girls is considered a waste of money.

“It happens more than it should, where parents have money to send their girls to school but choose not to,” says Ryan Roach, a volunteer in Ghana, where nearly 55% of girls are not allowed to attend secondary school. Cultural beliefs say education is not a wise investment (投資).

The White House’s Let Girls Learn is working to change this view of girls’ education, in Ghana and in countries worldwide. Former First Lady Michelle Obama says parents have to be persuaded that girls’ education is a better investment than household labor. A study shows that for every year of secondary-school education, a girl’s earning power increases by 18%. Today, Let Girls Learn works in 13 countries, and there are plans to expand the program. Recently, Let Girls Learn hosted a 24-hour event to come up with creative solutions for the barriers (障礙) to girls’ education.

Yorke, now 22, is about to finish high school. Thanks to Let Girls Learn, she plans to attend college and study computer science. She says working alongside college students at the Let Girls Learn event strengthened her determination. “I’m focused on my books,” says Yorke. “I know if I study hard, I, too, can go to university and live a happy life.”

【1】What was the attitude of Yorkers aunt towards girls attending school?

A. She was against it. B. She had no idea of it.

C. She was in favor of it. D. She considered it hard work.

【2】According to Ryan Roach, the reason for girls not receiving enough education is that

A. they are too busy to go to school

B. their families are too poor to afford it

C. there are few secondary schools for girls

D. cultural beliefs prevent girls from attending school

【3】What can we learn about Let Girls Learn?

A. It has spread all over the world.

B. It is a Ghana-based organization.

C. It aims to offer free education to girls.

D. It has got support from Michelle Obama

【4】What’s Yorke’s next plan?

A. To further her studies.

B. To join in Let Girls Learn.

C. To write some books for girls.

D. To get a computer-related job.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
C
My students often tell me that they don't have "enough time" to do all their schoolwork.
My reply is often a brief "You have as much time as the president." I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that "not enough time" is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, "That's irrelevant (無(wú)關(guān)的). What's important is the quality of your work." Since then I have had time to think carefully about the "hard worker" dodge (訣竅), and I have come to some conclusions- all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.
If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of "time", which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of "work" during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it's not how hard one works but the quality of the product that's important.
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: "Don't work harder. Work smarter." There is a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since "work" for students usually means "homework", the expression "work habits" should be read as "study habits".
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.
（1）From the passage, we know that the author is probably ______.
A.a poet
B.an engineer
C.a novelist
D.an educator
（2）We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____.
A.have enough time
B.can meet the president
C.get everything done well
D.should accept the explanation
（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework.
B.The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.
C.You can't improve the quality of the work if you can't get more time.
D.You'll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student.
（4）What's the passage mainly about?
A.Students don't have enough time.
B.No one can get more time.
C.Don't work harder; work smarter.
D.Read better and write better.

Dear Jack,

I’m sorry to hear that you feel lonely in the new school, because you find hard to make friends. Now, I’d like to offer you any advice.

Firstly, it’s normal for you to feel lonely because you were living in a new environment. Secondly, you should greet your classmates when met them on campus. Thirdly, it will be a good idea if you take an actively part in class activities, what can help them learn more about you. I believe you will be able to make new friends soon unless you’re friendly to the others.

I hope the suggestion above will be helpful to you and everything will be fine with you for the future.

Yours,

Li Hua
