We all have our favorite teachers — those who seem truly interesting and treat us as intelligent beings. But what about teachers who we don't know well or even don't like much?

Before you try to get out of a class to escape a teacher you don't like, here are a few things you can try to make a difficult relationship work.

Meet with the teacher and try to communicate what you're feeling. Tell him or her what's on your mind, using statements such as, “It embarrasses me in class when I feel like my intelligence is being put_down” or “I can't learn in class when I feel only a few people ever get called on to participate”. See if you can work it out between the two of you.

Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this teacher？” Even if you don't like him or her, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher's personality. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but you will also get a closer relationship with your teacher which may help you understand one another better.

Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better. Sometimes having a second set of notes can be helpful, so asking a classmate who is willing to share them with you is a great idea.

If your problems with your teacher can't be solved in school, then it's time to tell your parents. They should meet with your teacher and try to work it out.

However, if a teacher has done or said anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, immediately report his or her actions to your parents, another teacher, the school principal, or an administrator.

Teachers are there for more than just schoolwork, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you will always remember — and who might change your life forever.

56. The writer writes the passage in order to ________.

A. help us understand the teacher better

B. help us solve some possible problems with teachers

C. explain the conflict between the students and teachers

D. help us learn how to function as a lifelong learner

B. turn to your parents for help

C. tell another teacher the problem 

D. report him or her to the school principal

58．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in the third paragraph?

A. 写下                      B. 放下       

C. 贬低         D. 拒绝

59．From the passage, what kind of teachers are liked by the students?

I was born and raised in France into this way of life: French women don't get fat. There is a very good reason for that. Among the French middle and professional classes, it is totally unacceptable for a woman to be fat. Little girls, from a very young age, learn not to eat too much. It is mainly a class thing. When I read that “French women love to shop and prepare food”， I laugh. Many of us who work and have a family would rather put our feet up with a good book. To describe France as the country of slender women is a lie. A quick trip to Calais or any town of the industrial north is guaranteed to be an eye­opener.

Yes, at 44, I am still amazingly slim. This is hardly surprising; apart from the time when I was pregnant, I think I have been underweight for most of my life. There is no glory in this, since the truth must be said: I eat very little, not out of force, but mostly out of habit.

Yes, I shop and cook like a traditional Frenchwoman, but I don't think this is something you can easily pass on to British women. I tend to go to local shops every day and this is not something people are used to doing here, mainly because it takes a lot of time I can afford to do so, since I work only on a part­time basis.

Of course, I still enjoy a good meal at a (French) restaurant, and I will have a glass of wine at dinner, but only one glass, since drinking other than with food is a social taboo for women in France. To be seen drunk for a woman is a social embarrassment from which she is not likely to recover.

Dear British friends, do not believe that patronizing (要人领情的) myth about French women. The thing is that many of us French women are probably unaware of how little we eat, simply because it has become second nature.

60．The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to________.

A. respond an article about French women

B. comment an article about French women

C. correct the opinion of an article about French women

D. criticize the writer of an article about French women

61．Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A. It's totally acceptable for a French woman to keep slender.

B. Most of French women in the industrial north are actually fat.

C. Most of French women are forced not eat too much for figure.

D. French woman will feel embarrassed when seen to drink in public.

62．Why does the writer go to local shops everyday?

A. She wants to support the British opinions.

B. She is a traditional French woman.

C. She needs something to cook every day.

D. She wants to send away her spare time.

63．Why did the writer mention the fact that “French women don't get fat”？

A. To point out a fact.   

B. To give an argumentative topic.

C. To support her opinion.    

D. To tell her own experience.

64．What's the conclusion of the writer in this passage?

A. French women love to shop and prepare food.

B. French women don't get fat because they eat less from a very young age.

C. French women aren't used to going shopping, not to speak of preparing food.

D. French women spend much less time to shop and prepare food than British women.

Festivals in India

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure — those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who try to find an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot­air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists (心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Life, according to many people, offers little excitement. They live and work safely and comfortably. The answer for some of these people is to try to find danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

69．Which of the following is the best title for this test?

A. Bungee Jumping: So Dangerous

B. Bungee Jumping: How Exciting

C. Dangerous Sports: What and How

D. Dangerous Sports: What and Why

70．People take part in dangerous sports mainly because

________.

A. they want to have a change in sports

B. they have nothing to do

C. they need much excitement in their lives

D. they are eager to know about such sports

71．Which of the following best describes the author's tone in this passage?

A. Optimistic.                  B. Critical.

C. Objective.                 D. Favorable.

Children and Sleep

Health officials have begun a campaign to urge children to get enough sleep. The officials say children need at least nine hours of sleep every night. They say research shows that children who get this much sleep perform better in school, suffer fewer accidents and are less likely to become too fat.

Studies show that lack of sleep causes tiredness and problems with clear thinking. People who do not get enough sleep become angry easily and have trouble controlling their emotions.

Among children, problems that result from lack of sleep often are mistaken for more serious disorders. Unlike adults, tired children seem to have endless energy. Some doctors mistakenly identify this as hyperactivity (活动过度)．

Experts say many American teenagers are not getting enough sleep. Teenagers stay up later for several reasons, including schoolwork, after school activities and late — night fun. Many high school students in the United States start school every early in the morning.

Four years ago, education officials in Minneapolis, Minnesota changed the starting  time of seven high schools. The officials delayed the starting time by almost ninety minutes.

A University of Minnesota study found that attendance at the high schools improved after the starting time was changed. However, the later start did not greatly affect the performance of the students. Still, school systems in other parts of the country are discussing later starting times for high school students.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (小儿科) represents doctors who treat children. It notes that many sleep disorders first develop in childhood. It says doctors often do not identify the disorder until years later.

The group has agreed to join in a study with the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research. During the next five years, they plan to examine sleep problems in very young and older children. They also will develop guides for doctors to use when testing for sleep problems. And they will provide educational materials about the importance of healthy sleep.

A. the amount of children's sleep

B.  the children's health problem

D. the serious children's disorder

73. What is NOT the problem caused to the children if they can't get enough sleep?

A. They may get tired easily.

B.  They can't think clearly.

C. They are easy to become angry.

D. They are ready to get hyperactive.

74. What's the main difficulty to deal with the problem of the children's lack of sleep?

A. There is too much homework to complete after school.

B.  Many of the children take part in too many activities after school.

C. The children play fun into deep night.

D. The doctors usually can't identify this disorder easily.

75. The American Academy of Pediatrics has taken many measures to solve sleep problem EXCEPT to________.

A. reduce the amount of children's homework

B. later starting times for high school students
