He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording. I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts. He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first. Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going. My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someones life. With the fragility of life as it is, I believe in the necessity of encouragement. 56. According to the first paragraph, what the authors friend said made the author feel _. A. puzzled B. heart broken. C. frightened D. hopeless 57. By saying “convenience is not in my vocabulary”, the author means _. A. he is always ready to help his friend. B. he hardly spares time to help his friend. C. he has no good excuse for refusing his friend. D. he is not good at communicating with his friend. 58. From the passage we learn that the authors friend _. A. had a happy childhood but everything changed later B. wanted to share his story but no one listened. C. took it for granted that he was made fun of D. was always of sad appearance 59. What does the author learn from his experiences? A. How to make a big difference to others. B. The importance of encouragement. C. How to get rid of depression D. The necessity of security B Disease, poverty, hate, loveCharles Dickens stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age. Two hundred years on, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens legacy(遗产 ) was far greater than just “great literature” February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writers birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Lets take a look at two of them. A white Christmas Dickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas”not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today. In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off. Many people believe that Dickens popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth “ home enjoyments, affections and hopes”. In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “ Dickens can be said to have almost single- handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.” “Dickensian” poverty Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian (the period during British Queen Victorias reign from 1837 to 1901) London. He helped popularize the term “red tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作风） in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society. “Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation in some areas of Britain, she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”, but rather described it as “life mirroring the times of Dickens”. 60. What is the main idea of the article? A. An introduction to Charles Dickens classic novels. B. Charles dickens impact on the world. C. Charles Dickens amazing characters. D. Why Charles Dickens is popular across the world. 61. Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”? A. Because he created the religious festival. B. Because many of his novels have something to do with Christmas. C. Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations. D. Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas. 62. According to the article, the phrase “red tape” refers to _. A. rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task B. a situation in which poor members of society are hurt. C. conflict between people in power and weaker people D. pointlessly time-consuming official procedures C 第 3 页 共 13 页 School Groups:$10.00 per person One free teacher admission per 10 students.

I am writing to draw your attention to some improper behavior among us students-wasting food in the school cafeteria. Some of them throw away a little food while others waste most of them just because the food is not so delicious. As we all know, some people at home and abroad are going hungry seriously. I always feel painful and ashamed whenever I see this. It is obviously inappropriate for students to waste food . In order to solve the problem, some measures should be taken by our school. First, all the students are made to understand that a great number of people dont have adequate food , which may help them realize how terrible it is for them to waste food. Whats more, I wonder if our school can set up specific regulations against such behavior. I believe that the bad habit will be got rid of soon with our joint efforts. I hope my suggestions will be useful.
