【題目】A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s on one cold winter evening. It seemed that they didn’t come to the right place with the young families and young couples eating that night.

The little old man walked right up to the cash register,I placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger,one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries,divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip at the drink and then set the cup down between them.

As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger,the crowd began to get restless. You could tell what they were thinking,“That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.”

As the man began to eat his French fries,one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.

As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin,the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.

After being politely refused again,he finally asked a question of the little old lady,“Ma’am,why aren’t you eating?You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?

She answered,“The teeth.”

My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.

At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and joked, “I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”

My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!

【題目】Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside subjects like maths and languages.

The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and count from one to ten: one begins, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side. The aim is to listen for an opportunity to shout the number without clashing(沖突) with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in. But by the fifth round, they develop a rhythm.

The message: giving other people space but also confidently claiming your own space is a requirement for social well-being.

While the game suggests a soft course for the less bright, the school says it is trying to make it affect even clever pupils. The Willy Hellpach School is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course, intended for 17-19-year-olds preparing for university-entrance exams. “The course isn’t there to make you happy,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned the pupils who were taking the course, “but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.” Cooking a meal together will be one of the class exercises, along with improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses.

“In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people or teasing,” said Fanny, 17.

The message: self-esteem(自尊) improves happiness too.

The course is taught for three periods a week and will be graded as a part of overall assessment. Despite the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter. Max, 18, says he is happy when he finds people who share his interests. Janina, 18, says she needs to be fit to feel happy.

“We want to show how proper food or exercise can help in becoming happy,” the principal said. He hopes other schools in Germany will copy the idea. The school has attracted national interest since it announced its new course.

【1】What would be the best title of this passage?

A. Basic Things for Happiness.

B. Tips to Be Happy.

C. Learning How to Be Happy.

D. Laughing a Lot at School.

2Why is the happiness course compared with maths and languages?

A. It has been developed as a school subject.

B. It is more important than traditional courses.

C. It is part of the research.

D. It arouses the students’ interest.

3Who are expected to take the course at the school?

A. First year students.

B. All the students.

C. Students with mental problems.

D. Students who are going to graduate.

4Which of the following is NOT true about the happiness classes?

A. Students learn through playing games.

B. Cooking a meal together is a class activity.

C. Students are only made to be happy.

D. Students say positive things about each other.

【題目】It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure,even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.)in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, its not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

【1】 Sitting beside the driver, you should___________.

【題目】Blood is important to support our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. Type O negative blood (O-), for example, only 【1】(exist) in 7 percent of people, according to Sunday Times. There are fewer 【2】(donate) and therefore there isn’t enough of this type of blood for everybody who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to 【3】 (examine) carefully for diseases such as HIV to make sure that it’s safe for transfusion(輸血).

This is__【4】 scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now, someone finally succeeded—Marc Turner at the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes. Different from many ____【5】 scientists, who have tried to make blood by mixing up different ingredients together, Turner chose to grow blood 【6】(direct) from human stem cells. He developed 【7】 special technique to create a chemical environment similar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully 【8】 red blood cell.

According to Turner, his artificial blood is 【9】 (likely) to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that 【10】 he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, it’s also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.

【題目】閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

How early must a student begin preparing for an international education? Lisa Jain, the representative of The College Board in India showed her idea here clearly.

Many students who want to study abroad believe they need to start planning for it only in Grade12. What they don’t realize is the amount of time, thought, and effort it requires. That is why a student should begin the ground work in Grade 10 in order to gain a clear understanding of what the college application process requires and to be prepared to deal with the pressures that will follow.

Focus on school grades and marks. It is important to try your best to perform well in academics throughout high school and not just in Grade 12.

Start gaining experience. Get involved in a small number of activities over a long period of time, such as a sport, the arts, writing, research, community work, etc, through which you create impact in the activity, climb to a leadership position, grow as a person and develop skills. Picking something in Grade 12 and claiming it’s your passion won’t work.

Begin research. Which country do you want to apply to colleges in? What do you want to study at college? Researching early and start reflecting on what you’d enjoy learning will make the college and major selection process less overwhelming in Grade 12.

All your efforts in Grade 10-11 will help ease your burden in Grade 12. If you do everything at the right time, you will find the process enjoyable and realize there is hardly a reason to stress. Just remember: The early birds catch the worms!

【寫作內(nèi)容】

1. 用約30個詞概括上文的主要內(nèi)容。

2. 用約120個詞就“The early birds catch the worms.”談談你的想法,內(nèi)容包括:

(1)你如何理解“The early birds catch the worms.”這一諺語?

(2)以你或他人的經(jīng)歷說明一切成功源于凡事早做規(guī)劃,充足準備。

(3)如何才能成為“the early birds”?

【寫作要求】

1. 作文中可以使用親身經(jīng)歷或虛構的故事,也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容,但不得直接引用原文的句子。

2. 作文中不得出現(xiàn)真實姓名和學校名稱。

【評分標準】

概括準確,語言規(guī)范,內(nèi)容合適,篇章連貫。
