We all have our favorite teachers — those who seem trulyinterested and treat us kindly.But what about teachers we don"tknow or even don"t like much?

You can do lots of things to get a good connection with yourteachers. First, do the right things: show up for class on time,with all assignments completed. Be active, be respectful, and askquestions you can’t solve by yourself.

Show an interest in the subjects. Obviously, your teachers arereally interested in their subjects or they wouldn’t have decidedto teach them! Showing the teachers that you care —even if you’renot a math whiz(奇才) or fluent in French—sends the message that youare a good student.

You can also plan a private conference during a teacher’s freeperiod. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, or talkabout your progress in class. You may be surprised to leant thatyour teacher is a bit more relaxed one-on-one than when talking infront of the whole class.

Here are some things to avoid when you are try to build a goodrelationship with your teachers:

Not being sincere. Teachers sense it when your only goal is toget special treatment, a college reference, or a job chance.

Trying to be teachers’ pet. Your behaviour will come off asphony(虚假的) and your classmates may start to resent you.

Giving expensive gifts. It’s OK to offer some kind of gift toshow your appreciation to teachers if they’ve been helpful to you.But giving expensive things could send the wrong message, and ateacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive.

1. The passage mainly gives advice on ______.

A. how to get good points in exams at school

B. how to develop interest in a boring subject

C. how to choose proper gifts for your teachers

D. how to build good teacher-student relations

Young Mr. Smith had an idea for his e

mployer. It was an idea for saving moneyfor the company by increasing prices. At the same time, hesuggested that the company sell goods of less value.

If his employer liked the idea, he might be given more pay.Perhaps he might even get a better job with the company.

Business had been very slow. So Mr. Smith"s employer thought afew minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head."I am sorry, Smith," his employersaid. "It just will notwash."

Now, the meaning of these English words should be,"It will not get clean." YetSmith"s idea did not have anything to do with making somethingclean. So why did his employer say, "It will notwash?"

Most word experts agree that "it will notwash" means it will not work. In 19th century ofEngland, th

e expression meant an

undependable statement. It was usedmainly to describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about aperson.

Happily for the young employee, his employer wanted him to dowell in the company. So the employer "talkedturkey" to him. She said, "Youridea would be unfair to our buyers. Think of another way to savemoney."

A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeysin the barnyard(谷仓院场) were thought to be speaking pleasantly to oneanother. In recent years, the saying has come to mean an attempt toteach something important.

Mr. Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talkedturkey to him. He was given an increase in pay. So if your idea"will not wash," try"talking turkey" to yourself andcome up with a better idea.

8. What’s the main purpose of the passage?

tter job.

British scientists, exploring a beach on the country"s eastcoast, discovered what they believed were the oldest humanfootprints outside of Africa. They are estimated to be close to onemillion years and are believed to be the oldest evidence of humansin northern Europe.

Footprints of what appears to be a group of ancient humans werediscovered on a beach in Norfolk, in eastern Britain. They may beabout 500,000 years older than the earliest footprints previouslyfound in the country. The 3D images and a model of one of theimprints(印迹) were unveiled on Friday at a news conference at theBritish Museum, in London.

The museum’s archeologist Nick Ashton described the moment lastMay when he realized the footprints were left by a prehistoric man.“It

was only when the overhead views wereemailed through to me back in my office that I suddenly looked atit and opened up the file and I thought, “This is absolutelyamazing. You know, there is no doubt that they really are humanfootprints,” he said.

Nick said the new discovery will alter the understandingof early human history in Europe. Liverpool John Moores Universityresearcher Isabelle de Groote analysed the prints. “ The spread ofthe footprint size gives us an indication that we have children, anumber of children and then probably some adults there with atleast one, probably one male,” she said.

It is not known how the early humans survived in the coldenvironment of ancient northern Europe. Scientists say a millionyears ago, Britain was joined to continental Europe and theybelieve that the individuals who left the footprints were relatedto Homo sapiens’ ancestors called the Pioneer Man, known to haveinhabited in a warmer climate.

12. What information can we get from the first paragraph?

A. The earliest humans moved from Europe to Africa.

B. The oldest human footprints were once found in Africa.

C. No humans lived in Britain about one million years ago.

D. The earliest humans came to Northern Europe from Africa.

13. The underlined word “alter” in Para.4 probably means“_________”

Dear Editor,

The students in our class had a discussion about whether theonly way for senior high students to succeed is to go tocollege.

75% of the students think it necessary to go to college, forcollege education can increase their knowledge and improve theirpersonal qualities as well. However, 15% of the students believethat it is no use going to college because it’s extremely difficultfor college graduates to get satisfactory jobs. In addition, thetuition is too high for their families to pay for. The remaining10% held the view that “All roads lead to Rome”. Therefore, theythink it doesn’t make any difference whether they go to college ornot.

In my opinion, it’s a better choice to go to college because wecan receive much more education. But if we are unable to entercollege, there are many other choices for us, and we can stillcontribute to the society.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
