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?
A. Give an excuse for missing the assignments.
B. Tell the teacher you can’t come to school or do the assignments.

Every day millions of letters go from one country to another. Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan. Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa. On the letters are many different kinds of stamps,bought in different countries.
The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible. It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters,postcards,and small packages(包裹). It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates(費用).
One hundred years ago,international mail did not move so smoothly. One country did not always accept another country’s letters. Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries. Letters travelled by many different routes(路線).Some were lost along the way.

My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job,so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards,not drivers.This suited me.I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train,and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations.The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors.T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company.I’d be a subway guard.I could see myself being cheerful,useful,a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be over qualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges-those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down,with almost a hundred other candidates,for the intelligence test.I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test.This time there were only about fifty candidates.The interviewer sat at a desk.Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed,after a greater or shorter time.Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones.Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes.Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now:“Why did you leave your last job?”“Why did you leave your job before that?”“And the one before that?”I can’t recall my answers,except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter.His closing statement,I thought,evealed(揭示)a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist,he had risen no higher than the underground railway.“You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”
Failing to get that job was my low point.Or so I thought,believing that the work was easy.Actually,such jobs—being a postman is another one I still desire—demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give.But I was still far short of full self-understanding.I was also short of cash.
【小題1】The writer applied for the job chiefly because .
A.he wanted to work in the centre of London
B.he could no longer afford to live without one
C.he was not interested in any other available job
D.he had received some suitable training
【小題2】The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because .
A.he often traveled underground
B.he had written many poems
C.he could deal with difficult situations
D.he had worked in a company
【小題3】The length of his interview meant that .
A.he was not going to be offered the job
B.he had not done well in the intelligence test
C.he did not like the interviewer at all
D.he had little work experience to talk about
【小題4】What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
A.How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be
B.How difficult it is to be a poet
C.How unsuitable he was for the job
D.How badly he did in the interview
【小題5】What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?
A.He was very aggressive
B.He was unhappy with his job
C.He was quite inefficient
D.He was rather unsympathetic
