Image（形象）Isn’t Everything
Before I went to high school, I was eager to start my new life. I wanted to get into the 13 of popular students at school, so I bought a new outfit（套装）to present a good image for myself.
On the first day of school, I didn’t know where to have my first class. I was standing in the hall, looking 14 , when a short girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Hi, my name is Judy. Are you new Do you want me to help you find your class ” Although she seemed not the kind of girl I wanted to make friends with, I told her my name and followed her, making 15 conversation the whole way.
When we reached my classroom, she said, “It was nice meeting you. I hope your day goes all right. ”I said thanks and waved good-bye.
In the classroom, I saw a big group of students around a girl wearing blue jeans with holes. She was talking about her adventures in summer. I thought this girl was popular. When the teacher came and told us to break up, I 16 to get a seat next to her, and said, “Hi, my name is April and I’m new here.” She said, “Hi, I’m Ella.”
Once the class was over, I turned to her and asked, “My next class is physics. Could you help me find it ” She said “No” 17 and walked to her friends. I heard her say, “Did you see that new girl trying to get into our group Her outfit is so strange.” They all looked at me and laughed.
The same type of thing happened in other classes. When I was ready to go home, someone came up and said, “Hi, again. How was your first day ” It was Judy. I told her my day was not good. She said she was sorry and 18 to walk me outside.
Walking with Judy made me realize how 19 it was to try to only make friends with popular people, and how nice it would be to have a friend like her.

A Dance Competition
Jenny is a seventh grader. She is very good at dancing. Last year, she entered the school’s dance competition and won the first place. Her whole class was there to support her. This year, the school held another dance competition, but there was a change — the competition had to be done
in pairs.
Jenny’s class expected her to win the competition again this year, but Jenny was unsure of it because she had never danced with a partner before. She asked some boys in her class to enter with her, but they all said no because they did not know how to dance.
She finally turned to one of her friends, Carl. Carl refused at first because he couldn’t dance either. Jenny insisted. Finally he agreed to join the competition. Jenny was very happy.
The competition was in two months. Jenny made a good plan to increase their chance of winning. On the first few days, Jenny chose a piece of music, and planned out their dance routine (整套动作). Then they spent two weeks memorizing their steps. It was very difficult for Carl at first, but finally he got the hang of it. They spent the rest of the time perfecting their moves.
The day of the competition arrived. They were going up against nine other pairs, and they were to perform last. The pairs this year were better dancers compared to last year’s competition. Jenny got nervous. Carl noticed this and told her, “It’ll be okay, Jenny. You are great, and I’m sure we’ll win.” Jenny felt better after hearing Carl’s words. Soon, it was their turn to perform. They were off to a great start. People began cheering them on.
After their performance, the judges counted up the scores. Jenny and Carl won! Their hard work finally paid off. They were presented with a trophy (奖杯), and they were very happy.
How did Jenny feel about winning this year’s competition at first
A．Excited. B．Unsure. C．Uninterested. D．Hopeful.

We learn many things at school, but most of us don’t learn how to make the most of the time we have. However, reaching a school-life balance (平衡) is one of the most important things for students like you to understand.
As many of you hurriedly do your best to earn ( 获 得 ) as many volunteer hours or work experience as possible, do sports and other activities outside the classroom, it’s hard not to let those things impact (影响) your grades.
Let me introduce you to a way I call “Value-Based Time Blocking”. The most important thing is to discover what your core (核心) values are and make sure that your timetable shows that. The key isn’t to spend most of your time on what you personally value as most important — instead, think how much time you need to spend in each area of your life to keep a school-life balance.
Here’s an example: let’s say that you need volunteer experience in a field. Try not to start the volunteer work too quickly without thinking about whether you enjoy the experience or not, think about how often and for how long you want to be volunteering. You may realize that volunteering a few hours once a week is enough for you to get the experience you need, and a few hours’ work will not impact your grades. To get started, write down as many of your personal values onto a piece of paper as you can. Once you have at least 20, underline your top 5. Next, think about all the things you would like to finish. In comparing what you’d like to do and your top 5 values, scratch out (划
掉 ) anything that doesn’t go with most of these values. Finally, think about how much time you
want to spend on each task as it connects to your values.
How we use our time is a choice. You don’t have to do all the things, especially not all at once. You can choose to do only a few things. If you make the decision to try your best and to enjoy the time you spend on them, you can still get competitive grades and have a satisfying life outside the classroom, but it has to be a choice.
According to “Value-Based Time Blocking”, students should .
do the activities that they would like to do
decide how much time to spend in each area of life
discover in what area they spend most of their time
spend most of their time on what they personally value most 28．What can we learn from the passage
Students are not clear about what their core values are.
Students need to find the connection between school and life.
Students should spend time on what connects with their values.
Students need little volunteer experience when they are at school.
What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
To suggest a way of finding a school-life balance.
To tell the importance of reaching a school-life balance.
To explain why students enjoy life outside the classroom.
To show how activities outside the classroom impact grades.

The Teenager Brain
Teenagers have always been known to do unusual, even dangerous things. This was thought to be because of the “foolishness of youth.” Now, scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail. Their discoveries have led to a new theory (理论) of why teens act this way.
A Work in Progress
Recently scientists discovered that only during adolescence (青春期) do our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go through great changes. These “changes” were once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now, scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age
Such changes make us better at balancing impulses (平衡冲动) with following rules. But a still- developing brain can hardly do this well. The result, scientists claim, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.
The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks (冒险) and behave in extreme ways. Luckily, the news isn't all negative. As brain scientist B．J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens look at risks and rewards. Researchers found that when teens think about rewards, their brains create more pleasure than an adult brain would. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more k eenly than adults do.
Research into the teen brain also found that it makes social connections seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Scientists suggest this is because as teens, we begin to realize our friends may one day control the world we live in. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So, it connects social rewards with more pleasure. In this way, the brain encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make us more successful in life.
A Finished Brain
Unluckily, this search for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
Which of the following about adolescent’s brain is true
It stops growing almost at twelve.
It is better than an adult brain with rules.
It does many things in a perfect way.
It is going through a lot of changes.
Which could be the best heading for Paragraph 3, 4 & 5
A．Pleasure Explorers. B．Brain Researchers.
C．Decision Makers. D．Future Planners.
What does the underlined word “keenly” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Calmly. B．Slowly. C．Strongly. D．Strangely.
What can we learn from the passage
The teenager brains are more likely to be dependent.
The hope to control the world leads teens to meet new people.
The effect of teens’ behavior in extreme ways is negative.
The impulses of the teen brain may benefit teens’ growth.

Bob Smith, a National Teacher Award Winner
What does it take to win the hearts and minds of Grade 10 students Ask Jenny Fitchette, Grade 10 student at Lester Pearson High, and you will get a warm reply: “The number one thing is a good teacher.”
Jenny should know this well. Look at her timetable and you will find that she is studying the usual subjects of maths, English, biology and art this term. It’s not so much the subjects that keep her coining to school each day. It’s her biology teacher, Mr. Smith, who keeps her eager and ready to learn. So Jenny recently found time to finish a 1000-word paper in which she nominated (提名) her teacher, Mr. Bob Smith for the Teacher of the Year Award. Only students may nominate someone for the award.
“I can’t really say why Mr. Smith is such a good teacher.” says Jenny. “But we always enjoy the time when Mr. Smith stays with us. I mean, the little fish really help us in our biology studies. We can actually watch the fish growing and study them in the classroom. It’s hands-on, which makes his class special. Mr. Smith always tells us that we learn best when we get in there and work with things.”
Mr. Smith says he was very surprised and honored when he heard that Jenny had nominated him for the award. “It’s really the students who should be getting the award,” he says. “It’s my job to bring meaningful and interesting things for them to study. It’s not I, but the students who are showing excellence.”
When asked what makes his students love school so much, Mr. Smith stops and thinks deeply. I think it comes down to respect. I respect my students and I see my job as serving them in a way. I work for them to help them open up their minds and discover things that matter to them.”
Jenny says that you never know what to expect from day to day in her biology class. One day,
Mr. Smith might bring his electric guitar, and for the whole class, explain and show the effects of music on plant growth. He never allows anyone any time to be lazy.
What does Jenny think is the number one thing to win the hearts of students 35．Who may nominate someone for the Teacher of the Year Award
Why is Mr. Smith’s class special according to Jenny
What do you think of a teacher like Mr. Smith Why do you think so
