     Character (品質(zhì)), courage and confidence are words you might use to describe your heroes. These
words can describe you! Take action as follows and you'll be a hero, too!
      Part 1: Character
      Character is something that makes you the person you are-like being honest, friendly, and helpful. See
the chart (表格) below. On the left is our standard of good character. Write down your promise for each
line on the right. Then, get a witness (證人) to sign it. Put it up where you'll see it every day and do your
best to keep it.
To build (培養(yǎng)) your character Your promise
I will do my best to …
be honest and fair. eg. I'll tell the truth when mom asks if I have finished my homework.
be friendly and helpful. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
be polite and kind. eg. I'll show good manners in class.
be courageous and strong. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
… …
     Part 2: Courage
     Of course it's going to take a lot of courage to keep your promise. Courage is challenging yourself to
do something even though you think it might be hard. For each promise, find out two or three ways to help
you keep it. For example, if you think that Being Honest is the hardest promise for you to keep, one of
the ways might be "Tell people about my promise so that I won't break it".
     Part 3: Confidence
     Confidence is believing that you have the skills to do something. Do you have a beautiful singing voice?
Are you a good painter? These are all talents that can make you feel good, as well as the people around
you.      Once you've decided what your special skill is, think about how you can use your skill to make
your corner of the world a better place. If you're good at art, try painting a picture on an old wall in your
school (of course, make sure you're allowed).

　　Women might have a higher position at work, but at home their careers tend to give way to their husband’s job, with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours, according to a U．S．study．

　　Researcher Youngjoo Cha, from Cornell University, found that working women with a husband who worked 50 hours or more a week found themselves still doing most of the housework and the care giving and were more likely to end up quitting their jobs．

　　An analysis of 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessionals from dual-earner(雙職工)families showed that if women had a husband who worked 60 hours or more per week it increased the woman’s possibility of quitting her paid job by 42 percent．Cha said the possibility of quitting increased to 51 percent for professional women whose husbands work 60 hours or more per week, and for professional mothers the possibility they would quit their jobs jumped 112 percent．

　　However, it did not significantly affect a man’s possibility of quitting his job if his wife worked 60 hours or more per week, according to the study published in the American Sociological Review in April．For professional men, both parents and non-parents, the effects of a wife working long hours were negligible, according to the study．

　　“As long work-hours introduce conflict between work and family into many dual-earner families, couples often solve conflict in ways that prioritize husbands’ careers,”Cha, who used data from the U．S．Census Bureau, said in a statement．“This effect is magnified(突出)among workers in professional and managing occupations, where the criterion of overwork and the culture of looking after children tend to be strongest．The findings suggest that the popularity of overwork may lead many dual-earner couples to return to a traditional family pattern－breadwinning men and homemaking women．”

第三部分 閱讀理解 （共20小題；每小題2分，共40分）

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。

A

In the virtual (虛擬的) world, she is a popular Kungfu writer Ling Feng. At school, she is a quick-witted party emcee (主持人) and competent student union leader. She is always one of the top three scorers of her grade and the winner of various academic competitions. Last week she became the only student to be recommended by her school principal (校長(zhǎng)) to Peking University.

  She is 18-year-old Zhu Zhenhui of Haimen High School in Jiangsu, one of the 39 high schools from which Peking University will enroll students recommended by their principals next year.

  Zhu stood out among more than 30 candidates(候選人), but not only for her excellent high school reports and test scores. More importantly, she has performed outstandingly in other areas, which the principal believes will not cause the least controversy (爭(zhēng)議) among students and teachers.

  Zhu loves public speaking, in both Chinese and English. Her eloquence (口才) and quick mind make her an obvious choice to introduce ceremonies and parties on campus. As a news reporter and broadcaster on her school's radio station, Zhu has a keen sense of current affairs. The young journalist interviewed Sophia Ming Ren Leung, the first female Chinese Canadian senator (議員), when the politician visited a Nanjing school where she once studied. In the same year, she won the opportunity to question Kaifu Lee when the former Google vice-president appeared at a talk show on a local TV station.

  Every Sunday Zhu chairs a student union meeting, where she leads discussion on timetables, events and routine (例行) work for the following week. Under her are the ministers of the union's six departments. “The work has made me organized and decisive,” she said. On November 21, at the invitation of Zhu and other union members, the famous gymnast Huang Xu attended the opening ceremony of the school's Sports Festival.

  Some girls dream of being a princess, but not Zhu. Her fantasy is to be a knight (俠士) in one of Louis Cha (Jin Yong)'s or Gu Long's works. Her online novel, in the Jianghu World, is a huge success under her pen name Ling Feng. In the 120,000-character story, a girl learns to be tolerant and positive after an accidental journey to the ancient world. A book of the same title came out in June. “I'm working on the sequel (續(xù)集),” she said.

56. Which of the following is NOT the correct description of Zhu Zhenhui?

A. An admired writer.                         B. An eloquent speaker.

C. A gifted dancer.                              D. A born leader.

57. As a leader of the student union, Zhu has done quite a lot of impressive work EXCEPT _______.

A. interviewing former vice-president of Google

B. leading discussion on routine work

C. helping organize major events in school

D. inviting gymnast Huang Xu to attend Sports Festival

58. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?

A. quick in mind                                B. fast in action     

C. speak quickly                                 D. rapid in memorizing

59. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Zhu learns to be tolerant and positive after leading the student union.

B. Zhu’s first novel which has 120,000 different characters has come out.

C. The school principal recommended Zhu to be enrolled in Peking University because it would cause the least controversy.

D. The first female Chinese Canadian senator is Zhu’s schoolmate.
