Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.In the early 70's my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, "Momma, are we going to McDonald's for dinner?, The mother replied, "Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands （差事）and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” "But I wanna go.” "Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow. Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, "I want to go to McDonald's."No amount of pleading （恳求）or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie's tantrum （发 脾气）.Finally, her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, lefs go to McDonald's." Susie stopped yelling and smiling she grabbed her mother's hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone?”She replied, "Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now." Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can't have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.注意：1 .所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2 .续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1:By now we were standing in the long Holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance.Paragraph 2:“Mama, stop.

Which of the following skills in the program has more to do with the learner's life experiences?A. ListeningB. ReadingC. SpeakingD. WritingNot setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. There are many arguments in favor of homework, and most teachers would agree with many, if not all, of the following: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher, and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom; students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend's house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. What's more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at试卷第2页，共12页 home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a child's education, but they can t always be available, for a number of very valid reasons, and a tutor's ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter s study may be limited in many ways. The implication are unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.Considering the second part of the compound noun opens up further questions. If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work. Again, this will depend enormously on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span（持续时间）and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of the way, to be ticked off as done, with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.3. Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1?A. Solidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.B. Developing the ability of the independent learning.C. Building a closer teacher-student relationship.D. Meeting the requirements of students and parents.4. Speaking of the significant impact of homework upon children's success in class, some are just not good as others becauseA. their tutors are not always available to support them B , they are born without the ability to deal with conceptsC. their family circumstances limit their learning abilityD. some unknown reasons greatly hold up their progress6. "keep the teacher at bay” (paragragh3) means the way homework is done.A. blocks teachers from knowing more about their studentsB. imposes enormous meaningless evaluating work on teachersC. displays the great efforts students make to satisfy their teachersD. shows achievements teachers expect to accomplish in their work7. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Are you ready for homework yet?B. Is there a way out for homework?C. Home and Work: both are hard to ignore.D. Homework or No homework: it is your choice.Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals. The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes - that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference fbr sweet drinks, “A sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed. Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of nbehavioral despair”, 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light- dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity试卷第4页，共12页 of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinings （分子基石出）as animal studies can, says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be "an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior.n8. After being exposed to continuous nighttime light, the miceA. changed their preferencesB. escaped from the water more eagerlyC. remained active as beforeD. showed less interest in their favorites9. What does the underlined word “quash" in Para. 4 probably mean?A. studyB. predictC. easeD. cause10. We can learn from the last paragraph thatA. light at night may have practical effects on peopleB. the biological clock is beneficial to humansC , human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD. human studies are more important than animal studies11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Nighttime light may foster depression.B. A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.C. The study on animals can be applied to humans.D. Human biological clock can be controlled by light.There was something in the elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do.The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled。寮草土也写)on a crumpled piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who'd passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would en
