Then how should you work in senior high school? Here is some advice for your new term.Plan ahead. Get a wall calendar(日程表). Mark the dates of important events such as tests. Set your own goals and follow them. When your calendar starts to fill, learn to say no to other activities until you have reached your goal. Stay ahead. Try not to fall behind. If you feel that you have fallen behind and started to feel worried, let your teachers know. Its better to get help early than to wait, thinking you can face the final exams. Almost everyone is struggling with a special subject or class. If you have trouble with a special subject or homework project, ask your teacher for help after class. Taking a few minutes to solve the problem right away can save time, and if your teacher knows that youre struggling with something, he or she is likely to be more understanding of the situation. Listen up. Paying attention in class can actually help a lot. Sure, its often easier said than done, but listening actively can make you understand better what you are learning.Take notes. Taking notes during classes can make recalling(回忆) information easier. If you take notes and review them before class or while studying for an exam, you can ask a teacher to go over anything you dont understand. It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class.Have a good attitude to tests. Tests may show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. So dont be too worried if you dont pass a test. The world wont end.37. Which of the following is the writers suggestion about your plan?A. You shouldnt give up other activities at any time.B. You shouldnt let other activities affect your plans.C. You shouldnt forget the dates of important events.D. You shouldnt care too much about your wall calendar.38.

Thousands of dolphins suddenly jumped out of water and stopped the pirate ships from getting close to the Chinese ships.The suspected pirate ships stopped and then turned away, The pirates could only cry for their littleness before the great number of dolphins. The amazing scene continued for a while. China first sent its three-ship fleet on Dec. 26 last year after the United Nations Security Council called on countries to patrol(巡逻) the waters off Somalia. Chinas first fleet has escorted 206 ships, including 29 foreign merchant ships, and successfully saved three foreign merchant ships from pirate attacks.About 20 percent of Chinese merchant ships passing through the waters off Somalia were attacked by pirates from January to November in 2008, before the fleet was sent there.A total of seven ships, either owned by China or carrying Chinese goods and sailors，were hijacked(劫持). Tianyu No. 8, a Chinese fishing ship with 16 Chinese and 8 foreign sailors on it, was hijacked by Somali pirates on Nov. 14 and freed in early February.The second fleet of Chinese escort ships arrived at the Gulf of Aden on Monday to replace the first fleet.40.

Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes. That is only natural most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and that we should try to avoid(避免) mistakes. Weve been blamed when we make mistakes一at home, school and work. Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world, they make learning possible, and they make growth and improvement possible. Think about how you learn, you dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching carefully then you have a model in your mind then you try it in the real world. then you make mistakes then you revise(修改) the model. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new-because if you succeed in something, it is probably something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that success-at most it is the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it is a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. Cherish your mistakes. Smile.43. According to the passage, people usually think that _.A. it is bad to make mistakesB. it is natural to make mistakesC. it is easy to avoid mistakesD. it is hard to correct mistakes44. The passage tells us that people could not learn or grow without _.A. making plansB. doing researchC. making mistakesD. doing experiments45. The proper title for the passage is _.A. Why You Should Realize Your MistakesB. Why You Should Correct Your MistakesC. Why You Should Avoid Making MistakesD.
