My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this  36  .

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and    37  .All the students were working on a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no    38    of stopping.

There is no excuse for not doing your assignments（作業(yè)）. If you can’t come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask about homework. It is your responsibility（責(zé)任）to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of the missed assignments.

You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test（補(bǔ)考），you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of “ teacher”. Also you should use Mr, Miss, Ms or Mrs before the last name ( such as Mrs Smith or Mr Jones). This is polite. The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don’t do these until the break. Also, removing your shoes in the classroom is not polite.

What should you do if you miss a class?

科目：高中英語 來源：2010～2011學(xué)年甘肅省武威五中高一下學(xué)期三月月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People in cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the year it rains. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts (度假勝地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason. Sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people visited French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism that it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of this, however, is ruining anyone's fun. Obviously, visitors don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and endure crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is , the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in cold Berlin, London, or anywhere else.
【小題1】 The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _____.

A．they want to see historic remains
B．they wish to escape from cold, dark and rainy days
C．they would like to take pictures in front of famous places
D．they are interested in different cultural and social customs
【小題2】 According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?
A．Italy. B．Greece. C．France. D．Spain.
【小題3】The underlined part in Passage 3, "one tourist for each person living in Spain" means _____.
A．a(chǎn)ll the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists
B．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
C．every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country
D．every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year
【小題4】 What does the underlined phrase "without a break" mean?
A．不休息 B．不絕交 C．不間斷 D．不打碎
【小題5】 According to the passage, which of the following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A．Polluted water B．Crowded busesC．Rainy weather D．Traffic jams

Sir,
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.
Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.
You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.
I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.
Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours faithfully,
SIMON WALKER
【小題1】Simon Walker wrote the letter to ________

A．urge for the final solution to the problem with the unwanted books
B．complain about getting books he didn’t want.
C．a(chǎn)dvise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd..
D．show his anger to Cosmo Books Ltd...
【小題2】The advertisement that Mr. Walker saw in the Morning Mail was for ________
A．unlimited number of Cosmo Books.
B．fifteen pounds and fifty pence
C．a(chǎn) set of 10 books of the works of Shakespeare.
D．a(chǎn) book containing all the plays and poems of Shakespeare.
【小題3】Mr. Walker answered the advertisement because ________
A．he claimed that the books were being offered at a remarkable price
B．he wanted a set of Shakespeare’s works which was a good bargain.
C．he had ordered the set and had been waiting for them to come for some time.
D．the set he already had was not particularly attractive.

While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.

The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal（一向節(jié)儉的）Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!

Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!

Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.

After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”

Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

B．She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.

C．She believed that her husband was the best in his company.
