一、阅读理解
A
If you’ re a student, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.
Time management. High-school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time and college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you'll make full use of each day.
Good study habits. If you’ve got them, it’s great. If not, there's still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following:
●Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly. ●Finish homework in a timely manner.
●Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before. ●Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don't have homework or a test the next day!
Good note-taking. You can't possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important materials. Note-taking should be in a way that's the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note-taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes.
Review of daily notes. Don't wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate's notes. Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal: mastery of the subject or skill.

Here are two interesting questions. Are you very happy with your life now? Are people happier as they get older? A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not

affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
4．When will adults feel most stressful according to the study? A．In their seventies. C．In their twenties.
B．In their fifties. D．In their eighties.
5．What may make Arthur Stone feel a bit surprised? A．Women usually live longer than men.
B．Most of old people can't sleep well at night. C．Middle-age men mostly are very rich. D．Old people usually have a better sleep.
6．Old people may be happier probably because . A．they spend more time considering bad experiences B．they are most likely satisfied with life. C．they don't have to work hard every day. D．they can do whatever they like best.
7．Which of the following may be the topic of this passage? A．The young people and the old people. B．The connection of sleep and happiness. C．Old people's feeling of happiness.
D．Women are not as happy as men with their life. C
According to a survey, in Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them
最新Word
to succeed.
So, for the past 40 years, a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.
Katherine Roboff is the group's executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the group’s success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade-in the US, that is usually age 11 or 12.
Robolf says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade---around age 13---they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect. The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student's future more than anything that happens academically in high school.
Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer，when public schools take a break of about two months. High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor（导师）.
The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high school.”
8．What can we infer from the second paragraph? A．Higher Achievement works with college students. B．Many students have doubts about the organization. C．Higher Achievement has spread throughout the US. D．Higher Achievement has helped many high school students.
9．If students are doing well academically in eighth grade, .
最新Word
A．they are certain to go to college B．they are to succeed when they grow up
C．they are more likely to finish high school on time D．they don't need any help in their studies
10．What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean? A．become naughty C．earn more money
B．improve themselves D．help others
11．The last two paragraphs tell us . A．public schools never offer positive environment
B．Higher Achievement only helps the students in the eighth grade C．how Higher Achievement helps those students
D．Higher Achievement only helps those who have good skills.

China dropped its decades-long, one-child policy several years ago to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves（产假）for a total of seven to eight months.
In a survey published by classified advertising website Ganji.com，career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. In addition, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.
Another survey conducted by Chongging-based human resources website job. cg. qq. com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff.
