【題目】My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs, whether it was social or academic. Even though my current high school was not my first choice, I never regretted attending Southside High School. “Since you have chosen it, then it is the best for you,” said my parents.

Up until the junior year I did not realize my capabilities (能力) as a student. Being in the IB Program, I was told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school. With this “l(fā)ittle” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, scared of my grades. As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining(下降) and by the end of the first term I had had five Cs in seven of my classes! I could not believe it --- I did not want to believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. And I had to miss out on one of the most important speech and debate competitions all year: States. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own, so I had to get help fast.

Once I got a tutor, my grades went from Cs, Ds, and even some Fs, to nothing but As and Bs. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I was receiving awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school.

Southside has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me. I am proud to be a Southside Tiger.

【題目】Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(有癮的人),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me, so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(有褶皺的).” Today David wears casual clothes (便裝) to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? “One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says Owen Black, the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (心境, 士氣). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

【1】David thinks he was “a clothes addict” because .

A. he disliked cheap clothes

B. he always kept his suit neat

C. he often cleaned his office

D. he spent a little on clothes

【2】Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now?

A. He feels at ease.

B. He looks handsome.

C. He went to a new company.

D. He can’t afford expensive suits.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A. Casual clothes can impress others.

B. People fought for “Casual Friday”.

C. “Casual Friday” used to be popular.

D. “Casual Friday” was given as a prize.

【4】What is the advantage of casual office wear?

A. Making workers more easygoing.

B. Making workers more attractive.

C. Improving workers’ ability.

D. Saving workers’ money.

【5】Which does Owen Black probably agree to?

A. Comfortable clothes are cheap.

B. Nobody like conservative clothes.

C. Young people like casual clothes.

D. U.S. employers like casual office wear.

【題目】

People who have the habit of texting (發(fā)短信) while walking tend to develop a robot-like posture, lose their balance, and involve themselves in traffic accidents, according to a research from the University of Queensland. Researchers said that text-walkers are in danger of walking into traffic and train tracks among others. They suggest pedestrians（行人）stop aside, type a text and then continue walking.

For the study, the researchers tracked body movements of 26 young men and women while walking in a straight line over a distance of about 8.5 m ---once without a mobile phone, once while reading a text message and once while typing a message.

They found that participants’ body movements were greatly changed when they used their phone. The difference in their posture was more prominent while sending a text than while reading a message. They further said that when those people began texting while walking, they slowed down their pace, went off course and moved their necks less than when reading a message.

“We found that they ‘locking’ their arms, trunk and head together walked with a posture that was robot-like, all in aid of keeping their phone in their field of vision. So there is less movement between each of their body parts.” Researcher Siobhan Schabrun said, Daily Mail UK reports.

“In recent years, there have been many reports of people involved in traffic accidents because they were texting while walking. The number of pedestrian accidents is rising and texting has been blamed,” Schabrun said.

Despite such repeated accidents, only few studies have analyzed the impact of texting on body language. If more studies concentrate on walking styles adopted while texting, their findings can be used to lower whole accidents.

While a few U.S. states have introduced laws on texting while driving, Fort Lee, a New Jersey town, went further ahead and recently fined some walkers an $85 for catching them texting. It is hoped that other American states and countries will follow.

【1】How did the researchers carry out their research?

A. They called on most pedestrians.

B. They tried texting while they were walking.

C. They followed some pedestrians in the street.

D. They showed pedestrians the danger of texting.

【2】 The underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.

A. obvious B. important C. uncertain D. puzzling

【3】 When texting, the pedestrians walk in a different way to _____.

A. avoid losing their balance

B. attract other people’s attention

C. keep their eyes steady on the phone

D. take part in the study with the researchers

【4】 From the last paragraph, we can infer that texting while walking ______.

A. is not popular with many people

B. will make each American fined $85

C. will be punished in some states of America

D. has been forbidden in most American states

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Negative effects of texting.

B. Texting and traffic accidents.

C. Texting and people’s health.

D. Ways to avoid traffic accidents.

Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (鋪砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. ___【1】 Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

【2】 Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts（干旱）than areas with more rainfall, but, in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

【3】 In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.

B. Help your parents fix any leaks (漏水的地方) in your home.
