Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English.Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic.But remember to work in a way that suits you.It's important to learn from past mistakes as well.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make-it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.
The time of life may be hard,but you're not alone.You may be busy studying,but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages.Don't let your friendships die.
It's as important to live well as it is to study well.Going to bed no later than 11:30 pm is vital.It puts you in the right mood for the next day.You needn't follow a special diet,but make sure you are eating nutritious meals each day.
The person who plays well,studies well.Having a lot of schoolwork doesn't mean having to give up other activities.Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself.Time_out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.
Besides taking the big exam,you have other choices for college.I took the independent enrollment exam held by Peking University and some other students even were preparing to study abroad.Pay attention to any relevant information you can find,whether it's from school,the news media or other sources.
小題1:What should you do if you want to keep your friendship fresh?
A.Have frequent talks with them.

(2013·高考湖南卷,C)It’s such a happy­looking library,painted yellow,decorated with palm­tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the size of a microwave oven,it’s pedestrian­friendly,too,waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach County Estates,along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It’s a library built with love.
A year ago,shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization,a Wisconsin­based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available,she announced to her family of four,“That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin,now a 10th­grader,didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted,and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 51­year­old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses,and made a door of glass.
After adding the library’s final touches (裝點(diǎn)),the family hung a signboard on the front,instructing users to“take a book,return a book,”and making the Henriksen library,now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world,the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read,a mix of science fiction,reference titles,novels and kids’ favorites.“I told them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,”said Janey,a stay­at­home mom.
Since then,the collection keeps replenishing (補(bǔ)充) itself,thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project’s best payoff,says Peter,are the thank­you notes left behind.“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
小題1:In what way is the library “pedestrian­friendly”?
A.It owns a yellow roof.
B.It stands near a sidewalk.
C.It protects book lovers from the sun.
D.It uses palm­tree stickers as decorations.
小題2:Janey got the idea to build a library from________.
A.a(chǎn) visit to Brian Williams
B.a(chǎn) spring break with her family
C.a(chǎn) book sent by one of her neighbors
D.a(chǎn) report on a Wisconsin­based organization
小題3:The library was built________.
A.by a ship supply company
B.on the basis of toy horses
C.like a mailbox
D.with glass
小題4:What can we infer about the signboard?
A.It was made by a user of the library.
B.It marked a final touch to the library.
C.It aimed at making the library last long.
D.It indicated the library was a family property.
小題5:The passage tells us that the users________.
A.donate books to the library
B.get paid to collect books for the library
C.receive thank­you notes for using the library
D.visit the library over 5 times on average daily

There are many things people do with their spare time.Have you ever thought about tuning(調(diào)音)your own piano for fun and profit?Are you a piano teacher or player who really does not want the expense of hiring a piano tuner and feels that you could do it yourself with a little training?Well,this is your lucky day.All you need are the right tools,a piano and patience.
So,why would I want to tune my piano?There are many reasons for tuning your own piano.
·It is a very pleasant thing to do.
·You can make up to  $80 each time tuning other people's pianos.
·There are millions of pianos in the world and thousands of new ones are being sold every day.There are not enough piano tuners available to tune them all.
·You can provide a valuable service for friends,family and others.
·You can teach yourself very cheaply and then develop it into a part­time or full­time business.
You may have thought that only a trained expert could do this,someone who had devoted years of study and developed a sense of perfect pitch(音高).In the past,tuning a piano was as much an art form as it was a technology exercise,but now the balance is swaying(搖動(dòng)) more towards the technology and the final result is as good or even better than tuning by ear.
A few simple tools and a laptop computer with tuning software are all that are required.The real secret is the tuning software,which makes the whole process extremely easy.It means you do not have to train your ears but just look at the laptop screen to know when the piano string is in tune.
I have put together an e­book in my website with all the information you need to get started tuning your own piano, where to get the free software and where to buy the tools.
I hope I have inspired you to think about piano tuning and actually give it a go.You will find it a very rewarding and pleasant activity even if it remains just a hobby.

I have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent  fate in court.
It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.
One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.
It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke.
But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt.
“But what for?” I asked.
“Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence.” he said.
“What offence?” I asked.
“Theft.” he said.
“Theft of what?” I asked.
“Milk bottles,” he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!
“Oh,” I said.
It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.
Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties’ “youth counterculture”. As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, “How long have you been following me?” in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable (品行不端的)character.
A few minutes later a police car arrived.
“Get in the back,” they said. “Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don’t move them.”
They got in on either side of me. It wasn’t funny any more.
At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I’d been looking for a job. “Aha,” I could see them thinking, “unemployed”.
Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates’ Court the following Monday. Then they let me go.
I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good lawyer. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My “trial” didn’t get that far. The magistrate (法官) dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The lawyer even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.
And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the “right” accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good lawyer. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my lawyer’s case quite obviously revolved (回轉(zhuǎn)) around the fact that I had a “brilliant academic record”.
Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. “You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,” he said to me reproachfully (責(zé)備地).
What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, “Look here, do you know who you’re talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!” Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way.

Every day is a gift, and if you look forward to spending each day with happiness, wake up every morning with a positive attitude and enjoy a beautiful day!
Set up a daily plan for yourself and ensure that you reserve enough time for your homework. Also, don’t forget to spare some time for play! Stop being lazy and start participating in your life instead of just watching it pass by. Try to do something fun and constructive every day.

Enjoy and appreciate the small things around you. Do a good deed and make others happy. Sometimes, doing something as simple as having a cup of tea with an old friend or a family member, listening to a cheerful song, or just writing down all the things that make you happy could indeed turn your day around!
Review and analyze your day before you retire at night. Reward yourself for completing the set goals and prepare the stage for the next day. This will impact your sleep and overall happiness levels. Plan for the next day, take a good rest, and wake up fresh the next morning!
If you will you are doing the same things every day, step out of your comfort zone and set aside some time to do things you have never done before. Stretch your limits. Not only will it make a boring day exciting but it will also build your confidence.

Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we “fit”in society.As we go about our everyday lives,we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses.For example,we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian,whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman,whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader,and so on.
The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter,and change throughout life.Most of us can,at very high speed,assume the statuses that various situations require.Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us.This means that we fit our actions to those of other people,based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation.Although some of us find the task more difficult than others.most of us perform it rather effortlessly.
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes.Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and fabric.But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince.We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society.Further more,our choice is limited to a size that will fit,as well as by our pocketbook.Having made a choice within these limits,we can have certain alterations made,but apart from minor adjustments.We tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks.Statuses too come ready made,and the range of choice among them is limited.
小題1:In the first paragraph the writer tells us that statuses can help us_________.
A.protect ourselves in unfamiliar situations
B.make friends with other people
C.determine whether a person is fit for a certain job
D.behave appropriately in relation to other people
小題2:According to the writer,people often assume different statuses ________.
A.in order to identify themselves with others
B.a(chǎn)s the situation changes
C.in order to better identify others
D.a(chǎn)s their mental processes change
小題3:The underlined word“appraisal”in the 2nd paragraph most likely means_______.
A.judgmentB.a(chǎn)ppreciationC.involvementD.presentation
小題4:In the last sentence of the second paragraph,“it”refers to“_________”.
A.identification of other people’s statuses
B.fitting our actions to those of other people appropriately
C.selecting one’s own statuses
D.constant mental process
小題5:By saying that“an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince”,the writer means___________.
A.different people have different styles of clothes
B.ready-made clothes may need alterations
C.our choice of statuses is limited
D.statuses come ready made just like clothes
