I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.

Your children’s teacher will be providi ng extra time for test preparation. This school year’s test will be held on January 8 and 9. The test preparation time is open to all students, and we strongly encourage your children to attend.
This year we are changing the time for our test preparation: it will be on Thursday mornings from 8:10 to 8:50. This helps children who ride the bus and cannot stay for the after-school period. It also helps avoid conflicts with after-school activities.
Danielle and Marina will be working with the recent new test takers 6 days on the following Thursdays: 15th, Nov; 29th, Nov; 6th, Dec; 13th, Dec.; 20th, Dec. and 3rd, Jan.
Besides the test preparation lectures on these dates, teachers are already putting test preparation into their usual courses. We are finding that we can help our students to be both skillful and whole-hearted readers and test takers — after all, we all know that the best test preparation is good reading and writing training.
Finally, on Friday, December 7, we will have a morning lecture on the ELA. Please pay attention!
29. The text is intended for________.
A. teachers
B. students
C. parents
D. lecturers
30. Why is the time for test preparation changed?
A. To help the new test-takers have more time to read
B. To make it more convenient for the students to attend
C. To avoid disagreement in time between different years of students
D. To avoid conflicts between preparation time and the usual courses
31. What should parents do at home?
A. encourage their children to read more difficult books
B. make sure their children read more books fit for them
C. discourage their children from reading easy books
D. spend more time reading books with their children
32. What’s the purpose of the text?
D
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion(激情) for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their free time.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
33. Why does the author mention some physical activities in the first paragraph?
B. To bring up the topic
C. To offer some information
D. To give the readers some advice
34. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ________.
A. it requires no skills
B. it is too dangerous for climbers
C. it can’t bring people joy and
leisure
D. it is free of man-made rule是 for climbers to follow.
35. From the text, we can learn________.
A. a mountain climber needs to have high mental and physical qualities
B. men and women have to suffer hardship only in mountaineering
C. there is no man-made rules in games, such as golf and football
D. mountaineering is not suitable for middle-aged people
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our
problems can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. 37
Write your problems. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. 38 . By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
39 . No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.
Remember your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 Your problems might just seem big个人 and worse, but in reality they can be removed.
A. Don’t lose faith and hope.
B. Talking helps you move on and let go.
C. But good news is that all problems can be dealt with.
D. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I?
E. Go and solve your problems because every problem always has a way out.
F. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems.

Edwarda O’Bara was a 17-year-old high school student in 1970 when she became sick from her diabetes(糖尿病)medication and slipped into a diabetic coma.

Earthquake safety is very important and there is more to it than just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake comes. First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the wall and all walls should be especially thick and strong. You also have to make sure that there are bolts underneath your house. They are one of the most important ways of protecting a house. Make sure the building has no broken windows and is well repaired. Second, look at the objects in your house. Those in the living room, which are the most likely to hurt us, are computers, televisions and lamps. They can be tied to tables or stuck to them so they won’t easily move around.

But I quickly found myself facing the same roadblocks that had caused me to quit before: I was confused with college-level algebra and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignment. Moreover, I was unsure of my career direction. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly-dressed woman walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! Look at each and every one of you,” she said. “You’re here to change your lives for the better. And you’re going to make it!” I can’t remember the rest of the speech, but it changed the course of my college career and my life. Mrs. Smith didn’t know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, but I felt she speaking directly to me. Having trouble keeping up with the workload? Break it down into small pieces, and set up a schedule that suits you. If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math. As for English composit ion, she gave us writing assignments we could relate to. “Go for the best, kid. You’re worth it,” she’d say. I graduated from that college and went on to get my bachelor’s degrees. Today, as a college instructor, each fall when I stand in front of a new class, I think of Mrs. Smith and how much teachers can affect their students. She couldn’t have known it when she gave that pep talk, but she made a huge difference in my life. 4. Why did the author want to quit school again? A. He wanted to return to hid former job. B.
