Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.
In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best conditions. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and accurately in the morning than at any other time of the day. If we do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, we can build our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. However, if we get up late, we'll probably have to do everything in a great hurry.
Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.

The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.
Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龟) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough," said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.
Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.
With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.
Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:
· the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and
· the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.
The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international lever. “The clock is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.What is the main topic of the text?
| A．The effect of climate change on migrating animals. |
| B．How animals are adapting to changes in temperature. |
| C．The actions required to save migrating animals. |
| D．The need for government policies to prevent global warming. |
By saying "the clock is running" in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_______”.
| A．it may be too late to save some animals |
| B．it is time to start protecting the animals |
| C．there is not much time to solve the problem |
| D．it takes time to complete the actions |
According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future?
| A．They will only produce female babies. |
| B．Their food supply will gradually disappear. |
| C．Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer. |
| D．They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms. |
Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?
| A．More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds. |
| B．20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss. |
| C．Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly. |
| D．Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins. |
What can be inferred (推断) about turtles from the text?
| A．They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer. |
| B．They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean-based animals. |
| C．Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female. |
| D．Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years. |
Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are 11 . Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 12 it. Creativity isn’t always 13 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 14 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
Making connections. This technique involves taking 15 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words 16 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 17 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 18 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.
NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t 19 . You have as much time /space / money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 20 . If your goal is to learn to ski, 21 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now 22 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 23 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 24 in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 25 . The best fishermen think like fish!

For high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习)．In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work．In the Unites States，however，such programs are still few and far between．
Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later years．The students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education．
In Germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships．German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment．
But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world．Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track．Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills．
Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school．James Madison High School in New York，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career—based courses．The school then helps them gain on—the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school．
However，even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is daunting．In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row．
“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，”said Michael，a researcher in the US.In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers__________.
| A．have enough career-related courses |
| B．need more career advice from their schools |
| C．perform better in exams than German students |
| D．can get higher earnings in later years |
According to Robert Schwartz，_________.
| A．there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US |
| B．students should get contact with the working world at high school |
| C．education reform should focus on students’ performance in exams |
| D．teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience |
What can be inferred from the text?
| A．Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment. |
| B．Students with career—based courses never have problems finding a job. |
| C．US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment. |
| D．High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely |
What’s the main idea of the text?
| A．Arguments about recent US education reform. |
| B．Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers. |
| C．The lack of career—based courses in US high schools. |
| D．Advice for American high school leavers. |
The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means___________.
| A．discouraging | B．interesting |
| C．creative | D．unbearable |
The fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan was the subject of popular books and movies for many decades. In recent years, however, the character has been criticized as an ill image of Asian-Americans.
Yunte Huang, an English professor at the University of California, says that’s not the case. He has been exploring the character and real-life policeman who inspired him.
Charlie Chan has been a familiar character to readers and film-goers, beginning in the 1920s. The detective solved crimes around the world in more than 40 films through the 1940s, and with the invention of television, found a new audience in the 1950s and 1960s.
Huang discovered Charlie Chan through books by American author Earl Derr Biggers, who created the character.
“One day, I happened to find two Charlie Chan novels. At that point I thought I knew that he was a negative character against Asians, but when I read the book,” he says, “I was immediately attracted. Ever since then, I’ve been a fan of Charlie Chan.”
As a fan of the books and films, Huang was surprised to learn that Charlie Chan was based on a real detective named Chang Apana, who was born to Chinese parents in Hawaii around 1871. Apana worked as a cowboy, and joined the Honolulu police force in 1898.
“He almost immediately became a local legend because as a former cowboy,” says Huang, “he would walk the most dangerous areas in Chinatown carrying a bullwhip（皮鞭）instead of a gun. He didn’t need that.”
Although some say the image of Charlie Chan, with his broken English, is embarrassing for Asian-Americans, Huang believes Chan’s broken English and unusual ancient sayings were part of his charm（魅力）.
“Let me just quote（引用）a few – ‘Actions speak louder than French,’ or ‘Mind like parachute (降落伞). Only function when open.’ Charlie Chan always owes these instructive sayings to Confucius’ eastern wisdom.
For Huang, the fictional Charlie Chan is highly entertaining, while the real-life policeman, Chang Apana, is a Chinese-American success, whose story is worth telling. The passage mainly talks about ______________.
| A．how Yunte Huang discovered Charlie Chan |
| B．how Charlie Chan became famous in the US |
| C．what Yunte Huang thought of Charlie Chan |
| D．how a cowboy became a famous detective |
According to the passage, we know that Charlie Chan __________.
| A．was a character in books and movies based on a real detective |
| B．was a famous actor starring in movies beginning from the 1920s |
| C．was a famous detective solving crimes all over the world |
| D．was a Chinese immigrant who became a local legend |
Chang Apana didn’t need a gun as a weapon because__________.
| A．he had his personal charm |
| B．he liked being a cowboy |
| C．he was not a true policeman |
| D．a bullwhip was more useful |
It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
| A．American author Earl Derr Biggers gave an ill picture of Asian-Americans |
| B．Yunte Huang believes Charlie Chan represents Asian wisdom in some way |
| C．Chan’s story was more popular with TV audience than readers and film-goers |
| D．Charlie Chan became an ill image of Asian-Americans when it first appeared. |
Here below we will talk about the American expressions using the word “Dutch”． Many of the “Dutch” expressions heard in American English were first used in England in the seventeenth century． Britain used to be called “empire on which the sun never sets”，which gained its supreme（至高无上的） power mostly by its naval(海军的 )military forces． The period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars was a time of fierce naval competition between England and the Netherlands． At that time, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad, or false, or mistaken．
A “Dutch agreement” was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. “Dutch courage” was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking alcohol. And “Dutch leave” was what a solider took when he left his base（基地）without permission．
Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning． “Dutch treat” is one example． Long ago, a Dutch treat was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share．
Another common expression heard a few years ago was “in Dutch”, which simply referred to the country then． Nowadays, if someone says to you, you are in Dutch, they are telling you that you were in trouble． An important person, a parent or teacher perhaps, is angry with you．
Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all． In the 1700s, Germans who moved to the United States often were called Dutch． This happened because of mistakes in understanding and saying the word “Deutsch”, the German word for German. Families of these German people still live in the eastern United States, many in the state of Pennsylvania. They are known as the Pennsylvania Dutch．
During the American Civil War, supporters of the northern side in the central state of Missouri were called Dutch, because many of them were German settlers. In California, during the Gold Rush, the term Dutch was used to describe Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians as well as people from the Netherlands．
President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anything foreign and non-English was called Dutch．One expression still in use, “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”, did come from the Dutch．The Dutch were known for the firm way they raise their children. So if someone speaks to you like a Dutch uncle, he is speaking in a very severe way． And you should listen to him carefully． According to paragraph 1, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad and mistaken because ___________．
| A．it was the long-lasting habit of the British language. |
| B．the Netherlands was the closest rival（竞争对手） for naval supremacy then. |
| C．there was a close connection between “Dutch” and “Deutsch”. |
| D．anything foreign and non-English was called “Dutch”. |
Most probably, a man with Dutch courage would _________.
| A．invite his friends to dinner. |
| B．beat a strange passer-by without any reason. |
| C．speak to a Dutch uncle. |
| D．become angry with the teacher. |
Which one of the following has nothing to do with the Dutch?
| A．The expression “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”. |
| B．When friends go out to have fun, they choose Dutch treat. |
| C．Germans who moved to the United States were called Dutch. |
| D．A solider took “Dutch leave” during wars. |
What is mainly talked about in the passage?
| A．Language causes of the Anglo-Dutch Wars |
| B．Language of the Netherlands |
| C．Deutsch VS Dutch |
| D．Dutch expressions in American English |

I think that a hero doesn’t have to be someone who saves people or anything, but he or she can be a teacher or a friend. My personal hero is my music teacher, since he puts so much extra effort into teaching us. He does an extra Steel Drum Band for us. He doesn’t have to do anything extra for us, but he chooses to since he loves to teach and be with us so much. Not many other teachers would want to do so much extra stuff for us since they probably get tired of us after a while, but he does since he cares. No matter how annoying we are to him, he always helps us. If we don’t understand what he’s teaching, he helps us more and tries even harder to make us understand everything we need to. He teaches us the proper techniques for holding instruments as well as playing, instead of just yelling at us if we mess up. He will always have a kind thing to say, even if you’re badly failing his class. He won’t be mad. He will just try harder to help. He always remembers his students, and has some sort of special connection of some sort with everyone. He will always remember to smile and talk to you in the halls, even if he only waves, he still notices everyone.
