安徽省六安市毛坦厂中学2020届高三英语下学期假期作业（2.26）.阅读理解ABefore you hit “submit” for the Nov.1 Early Decision (ED) deadline (截止日期)，think about this: Early Decision is binding (必须遵守的)That means if you are accepted，you have to go.ED is a great option if the college youre applying to is your dream school and you are 100 percent certain that you can see yourself on its campus next fall.But if youre having any doubts about whether or not this college is the perfect place for you，think again about your ED application.Applying ED definitely has benefits.One of them is that you will know where youre going to college before Christmas if you are accepted.While your academic performance needs to be kept up，the stress of standardized tests，meeting college deadlines，getting letters of recommendation and so on will all be behind you.On the other hand，one of the biggest difficulties is that next March and April，ED students will not be able to compare one college with another.This lack of choice also means that students cant use offers from other colleges to ask for better financial aid.Susan Goodkin，owner of the California Learning Strategies Center，said，“From fall to spring of the last year in high school is a long time and students ideas might change.”“Some families are so ready to be done with the college application process that they make themselves believe theyre in love with a school so they can apply ED.I advise all families to apply ED only if it is for the right reasons.”Heres a tip for thinking about ED: Dont say youre applying ED and then decide where.Figure out which college is the best fit for you and then find out if they offer an ED program.1What is the article mainly about?AHow to get into top American universities.BHow to apply ED.CThe admission policies of American universities.DThe advantages and disadvantages of ED programs.2According to the article，ED applicants Aget financial aid easily from the college they apply toBmust attend the college they apply to if they are acceptedCcan apply to several colleges under an ED program at a timeDneednt have great academic performance to apply to a college3ED applicants are informed of the colleges decision Ain early NovemberBbefore ChristmasCaround January 1Din the following March or April4What does Susan Goodkin advise college applicants to do?ANot to change their idea of their preferred school.BNot to apply ED because of its lack of choice.CTo apply ED and decide where to study as early as possible.DTo apply ED only when its offered by their dream school.BParents are fuelling bad behavior among their children by attempting to “buy” their love with expensive gifts nowadays.Over recent decades we seem to have created a “must have” culture among our young people.Many mothers and fathers believe they are “failing as parents” if they are unable to ensure that their children have the latest toy，electronic devices (the laptop，cellphones，Game Boy，etc.) along with their friends.In many cases，families also feel pressured to enroll (使加入) children in “every interest club or afterschool activity that is available” to fill up their time like most of the other children.But experts warned that the move might affect “precious family time” negatively.Graham Gorton，chairman of the Independent Schools Association，said that parents spent too much time filling their childrens lives，which had a series of negative effects on “the very precious family time that exists”“It seems that those times when a whole weekend without planned work was seen as a luxury (奢侈) and a perfect opportunity to spend time together and share those valuable moments of childhood are long gone，” Mr.Gorton said.“As a child I only once said that phrase that parents feared Im boredImmediately my mother took action and produced a list of jobs and then insisted that I complete every one of them.Though I didnt think cleaning all the floors could really get rid of my boredom，I enjoyed the feeling of staying at home with my mother and brothers.”Earlier this year，some researchers suggested that relatively wealthy parents were sometimes guilty of failing to teach basic social skills to children.“Often，its the rich middle classes that buy off their children through the computer and the TV.That then sets them apart from their family，and then the parents are surprised when their child isnt coming to school.”5The second paragraph mainly tells us that Atodays children have little time to playBtodays children depend on electronic tools too muchCtodays parents feel pressured by the “must have” cultureDbeing qualified parents becomes harder for todays young people6What does the “must have” phenomenon refer to based on the passage?AThat children must have what other children have.BThat children must have proper pressure to work hard.CThat children must have special skills to ensure a better future.DThat parents must have patience to know their children better.7Which of the following is the best advice you could give to parents based on Gortons statement?APlan fewer activities for their children to improve family time.BBuy their children fewer things that they are fond of.CGive their children more housework to do.DLeave their children alone when the kids feel bored.8From the passage we can infer that Awealthy parents dont like teaching basic social skills to childrenBparents should be much more strict with their children at homeCchildren should not be brought up in a wealthy and pleasant environmentDonly satisfying childrens material needs is not a good way of parenting.阅读填空THINK “ADDING VALUE” (and youll get more money)Most people either “like” their job，“love” their job or “hate” their job.Everyone wants to make more money regardless of how they feel about their job.The secret to making more money is，focus on adding value.Think less of what you can have or acquire.1. You dont always have to do more though we always can do more.What you might consider is “doing different”Let me explain.(1)Do you choose to be happy at work？Its a choice.And you can do it.Its a lot of“mind over matter”Mind whats important and the rest doesnt matter.2. When you choose to be happy，you will affect others in the workplace.(2)3. Michaels definition of a “drag” is，a person who “drastically reduces all good.” Of course，they have a bad attitude.If youre this kind of person，you can change.Start being positive.Start by giving subtle and honest praise to coworkers.Just start looking for authentic reasons to give others some praise.It will set you apart from everyone else.People will recognize you as being more caring and more interested in them.Your influence will skyrocket especially if youre in an environment where there is little praise and encouragement.(3)CHOOSE what you are going to think.Most people have given in to CNN，ABC，NBC，“the way things are”，society，drama，negativity and the like.Its time to take back charge of your brain.Get your focus directed.Like Paul said in the bible，“Think on these things.Things that are true，are of a good report，are honorable，are positive.”4. If you have nothing to read that is positive，send me your email address and Ill send you a free copy of my “Powerful Attitudes” ebook.Read a little every morning.It will positively and powerfully affect the rest of your day.When you change yourself，you will add value in your workplace.Like the late great business philosopher，Jim Rohn said，“You can take out the garbage at McDonalds and earn minimum wage.But if you take out the garbage and whistle as you do it every day，youre likely to earn 50 cents more per hour.” Add value to your workplace by controlling your own attitude.5.AStart your day by reading something positive.BThink more of what you can do，produce or create.CJust be yourself and create a strong self image.DAre you a “drag”？EYour attitude and your happiness is important.FFall in love with it.GYou will advance faster and in time，make a lot more money.语法填空Dear fellow students，May I have your attention，please？Now Id like to make a speech here.As we know，waste 1. (become) a common scene on campus recently.Some pour the remains of a meal where there is still much 2. (leave); others 3. (simple) walk away after washing hands，leaving the water 4. (run); students leave the classroom every day 5. noticing whether fans are switched off.Has thrift (节俭)，one of the national traditions 6. developed from our long history gone？7. so，find it back!We dont have to take great pains to control waste，but action and a grateful heart are needed；thank the water that runs through our fingers，and save it for poor Arabian or African countries struggling in water 8. (short); thank the light we enjoy because in poor areas，children share 9. dim lamp reading; thank all the paper we are able to use，for trees are cut down 10.
