My Writing Teacher

我的写作老师

English writing was always easy for me, but that changed on the first day I walked into Mrs. Johnson's class. Before that, I'd heard rumors from former students. They said she was strict and her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous

英语写作对我来说是容易的，但改变的第一天，我走进约翰逊老师的课。在这之前，我听过以前学生的谣言。他们说她很严厉，她的课很难及格。所以我很紧张

The first time we met, Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult but she would give us new "tools" and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was different, and that we would not see high scores soon. Everything you do in class matters, "she said. "As writing is an art, it takes a long time to perfect.

我们第一次见面的时候，约翰逊夫人告诉我们，她的课很难但是她会给我们新的“工具”，引导我们通过。她解释说她的评分制度不一样，而且我们不会很快看到高分。你在课堂上做的每一件事都很重要，”她说。写作是一门艺术，它需要很长时间才能完美。

Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question. So in class I kept silent most of the time and couldn't follow her. When got my first essay back, my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.

约翰逊太太吓了我一跳。如果我问了一个问题，我担心她会说什么。所以在课堂上我大部分时间都保持沉默，不能跟上她。当我第一篇论文回来时，我的成绩很糟糕。我对约翰逊太太很生气。我不喜欢上她的课。

Then I realized I needed to find out what I could do to improve my grade and how to use the "tools" in my writing. As I still didn't dare to talk to Mrs. Johnson in person, I e-mailed her. In this way, she and I worked together to improve my writing. By and by, I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.

然后我意识到我需要找出我能做些什么来提高我的成绩，以及如何在写作中使用“工具”。因为我还不敢亲自和约翰逊太太讲话，所以我给她发了电子邮件。就这样，我和她一起努力提高写作水平。渐渐地，我可以在线和亲自和她交谈了。她带领我走过每一步，以了解如何写一篇文章。我们一起看到了工作的改进。

From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behind everything Mrs.

Johnson was saying, she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.

第二部分:阅读选择(第11~15题,每题2分,共10分

阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、c、D)中选出1个最佳选

项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑

Whenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries, they are always asked:"Is Scotland that place where men wear skirts? "The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish "skirts."

The“skirt”that Scotsmen(苏格兰男子) sometimes wear is called a kilt..It is part of the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one People's knowledge and ideas about Scotsmen wearing these funny kilts come from films and television. Every time people from other countries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson's film, Braveheart. In many countries, there are television programmes about Scotland. These programmes always include information or images of men in kilts.

Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt. The reality is, though, that you will most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colours.

But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions, such as weddings, funerals and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket

The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt, he normally wears it with a special shirt jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact,

an average kilt outfit(全套服装) costs around￡500.

A. like foreign culture

C. enjoy talking about kilts

D. often visit foreign countries

12. Mel Gibson is probably a

A. painter

B. musician

C. movie star

D. fashion designer

13. In Scotland, kilts are more often seen

A. in tourist shops

B. in public schools

C. on the stage

D. at local markets

14. People do not wear kilts every day probably because of their

A. funny designs

B. dull colours

C. poor quality

D. high prices

15. This text is mainly about the

A. history of kilts

B. production of kilts

C. myths of kilts

D. styles of kilts

My Major Problem

Decision-making is something I struggle with. In fact, I'd rather have

someone else make decisions for me

As I sat in a crowded information session(咨询会) at a college last summer ，I was again faced with the pressure of making a decision. 26C He then asked each of us to give our intended major. I looked at my mother with panic.

"A major?" I said. "I can't even decide what socks to wear to school!"

I wanted to say I was undecided. But as my turn to speak approached, my confidence decreased. 27A I watched the girl in front of me. She was searching for some obscure(鲜为人知的) major 。 I realized I couldn't just say undecided. So, when my turn came, I uneasily said, "I want to major in business I could feel "liar" written all over my face.

28D I felt ashamed. "Why couldn't I have said that?"I thought. The admissions adviser even said that a lot of people are uncertain. That is why students have to decide until the end of the second year.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I don't want to do anything that involves blood. 29B This isn't really narrowing it down. I've been told many people start college with one major, and graduate with a degree in something totally different.

After my experience at the information session, I've learned not to be afraid of saying I'm

"undecided. " I know now that I am not the only one uncertain about future studies. I'm still experiencing a "major" problem. 30F

Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease ，therefore ，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in（以 新旧换）value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how mucht hey must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage（里程） fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car. By now, the benefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model you can afford to buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no giving back, and that makes all the difference. 1. People usually think leasing a car can save money. A. True B. False C. Not Given a car costs less in the long term. B. False C. Not Given A. True 3. More people like to lease cars than before.
