Nowadays， it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals （目标） that we set for ourselves． Luckily， we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and Get Abstract to provide abstracts （梗概） of a text． Abstracts are useful tools， especially for students， but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you， you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original （原来的） text of yourself．
I recently finished reading a thick book of W． Somerset Maugham's collected short stories． It took me around ten years to get through． Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read； Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time． Reading a book， whether it is good or bad， is a formative （建设性的） experience． There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read． But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort．
Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it， I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia （怀旧之情） and pride． I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf． When I step back and look at the books on my shelf， it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived．
Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end， but reading the actual （真正的） book is something much richer． Reading， like anything else in life， is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination （目的地）．
（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？
A． Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature．
B． Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading．
C． Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages．
D． The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading．
（2）What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph？
A． He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories．
B． A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him．
C． He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books．
D． He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book．
（3）In the third paragraph the writer his main point of view （主要观点）．
A． explains the meaning of
B． provides further support for
C． makes a conclusion of
D． offers an opposite example for
When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework， you might notice that there is no letter E． Have you ever thought about why that is so？
In the A， B， C， D and F grading system， the first four letters are typically considered passing grades． An F in this system simply stands for"fail"．The word"fail"happens to start with the letter F， which seems to leave out the letter E． The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean "not﹣passing" or "fail"．Some schools have U grade for"unsatisfactory"，or I grade for "incomplete"．
Even with all this said， we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US．
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College． In 1897，they began to use the following grading scale：
A： 95﹣100%（excellent）
B： 85﹣94%（good）
C： 76﹣84%（fair）
D： 75%（barely passed）
E： below 75%（failed）
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F．
Gradually，the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US． However， many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F．There is no evidence（证据） to really support this，but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for "excellent"．
Why do we have letter grades？ Well，part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools． As the 20th century began，growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms． Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy，fair and clear way to grade students．
Today，more and more people argue that letter grades don't fully reflect（反映） student learning．However，as teachers try to improve grading methods，many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids．They are familiar（熟悉） and easy for parents to understand． So while they might not be perfect， the letter grades probably aren't going away any time soon．
（1）what does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system？
（2）when was the letter grading system first used in the US college？
（3）what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade？
（4）what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century？
（5）why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today？
There is good news for students of vocational （职业的） colleges in China： the government has announced plans to develop modern vocational education． Premier Li Keqiang said the government should speed up the development of modern vocational education to meet the need for skilled workers and technicians （技术人员） in the job market． High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges． Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year． This is the first time the central government has a clear plan．
This comes after the news of the large shortfall （不足） in highly skilled technicians， although China has millions of technical workers． China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020． The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025． Also， vocational education is unsatisfactory （不令人满意的）， although there are many vocational colleges in China． In some vocational colleges， the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading （升级）， manufacturing （制造业）． As can be seen from the job market， some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay．
To deal with the problem． some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students． They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers． With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay， it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China．
（1）What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China？ _
A． To train more highly skilled technicians for the job markets
B． To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work．
C． To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills．
D． To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing．

A． Higher vocational college teachers are not well paid and valued．．
B． There are only a small number of higher vocational colleges in China．

（3）The writer believes China's future vocational education is ．
A． hopeful

Both language and music play a huge role in our culture． Here are some of their similarities．
（1）Both language and music have a writing system．
In English we record language using letters． Similarly， we use notes to record music． Just as you are reading letters and find meaning in them， musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music． So just as you read English， you can read music． By writing pieces of text or music， we are able to share experiences through time． I can read the ideas or hear the works of someone who lived hundreds of years ago， which is really exciting．
（2）
You can guess where someone is from by listening to the language they use．In the same way，styles of music are different around the world， giving us the chance to understand many different cultures， This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like British pop music， you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music．
（3）Both share feelings．
How do you know that I am angry？ Of course you can see it in my face， but you will know for sure through my words， Similarly， music can show you exactly how the composer （作曲者） was or is feeling． When I'm happy， I want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate my happiness； and I listen to slow and quiet music when I'm feeling down． I think we have all used music to express our feelings， often combining （结合）it with language in the form of song lyrics．
（1）Which of the following is the best for the blank？
A． Both are from daily life
B． Both bring us happiness
C． Both have a sound system
D． Both vary （变化） with culture．
（2）According to the passage， when the writer feels unhappy， he might listen to ．

Say you're sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites．"Oh，that game's easy．So not worth the time，"one of your friends says．The others agree．Although you enjoy the game quite a lot，not wanting to argue with them，you go along with the crowd．
You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure（同伴压力），also called peer
influence．You will adopt a certain type of behavior，dress，or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your"peers"．As a teen，you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas．
We are all influenced by our peers at any age．For teens，as school and other activities take you away
from home，you may spend more time with your friends than with your family．As you become more
independent，your peers naturally play a greater role in your life．
According to Dr．Casey from Cornell University，teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions
on their own and in situations where they have time to think．However，when they make decisions in the
heat of the momentor in social situations，their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers．In a
recent study，teen volunteers played a video driving game，either alone or with friends watching．The
researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were
watching，compared with when they played alone．This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around，or in situations where they are extremely angry．
Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices，they can also influence us to make good ones．A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it，or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important．In fact，friends often encourage each other to study，or try out for sports．
While we are always influenced by those around us，the decision to act or not is up to us．So when it
comes to decision making，the choice is up to you．
52．According to the passage，Dr．Casey probably agrees that teens ．
A．like to play driving games with their friends
B．prefer situations where they have time to think
C．may take more risks when their friends are around
D．are slow in making decisions when they are on their own
53．The words" in the heat of the moment"in Paragraph 4 probably mean" "．
A．when teens avoid possible risks
B．when teens trust their judgment
C．when teens lose control over their anger
D．when teens give consideration to situations
54．What can we learn from the passage？
A．Teens are eager to be different from their peers．
B．Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults．
C．Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens．
D．Tees think it challenging to get good grades at school．
55．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A．Peer Pressure：Is It Necessary to Deal with It？
B．Peer Pressure：Is It Possible to Get Away from It？
C．Peer Pressure：Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making
D．Peer Pressure：Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making．
Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future． It may seem that you're wasting your life away． But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day． Three people were asked what they found useful at school， and their thoughts are shared below．
When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something， she often said， I don't know． Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up． She was not ashamed to say that she didn't know the answer． I learnt two things． You don't have to know _______； and if you don't know how to spell something， just get the dictionary out． Both are very useful lessons!

In school， you also learn to deal with life in general． Little mistakes can seem to be very serious． Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you． Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you． You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on． You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten． However， if you can be brave and keep on， you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again．

We had a class called Guidance and in it we learnt about making good decisions in life． I found it pretty boring and didn't pay much attention． One day the teacher made us guess which appliance（家电）
we should buy first once we had our own homes． The answer was a fridge． I learnt that it was true once I had my own place． The first day I bought some chicken meat． By dinner time it smelled and I couldn't
even eat it! My housemate and I started saving to buy a fridge right away．

If you are given only 1 yuan， could you live in a city for one day？ It seems this may be a little difficult． But students from Xi'an did it．

In the past， I thought I was terrible at many things， such as math， French and science． Although I was good at drawing， I wasn't the best in my art class．I wanted to find out who I was，what I liked and how I could do it better．So， that winter，I took a notebook and kept my diary． When I filled that notebook，I started another one， and then another．
Keeping a diary helps a lot． Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better． It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams， friendships and happiness． Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on． Personally， I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary．For example，when I am fighting with my dad， I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates．I'll write something like，"I might not have clear skin， but I like my eyes．"
Right about now， you might be thinking： it sounds great， but I'm not a good writer； or I'd love to keep a diary， but my handwriting is terrible． Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules， so do whatever feels best．

Plan your time． Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning． Go and play a sport， learn the piano， work on a project， read a book， practice English， or help someone with problems． There are always a lot of things to do．

What is one thing that would help parents understand their kids better？ More than 8，000 US kids answered this question in an online poll （投票） by KidsHealth．org．
Many US kids ﹣ two out of three ﹣ said they get along with their parents． But that doesn't mean they never disagree． In fact， most kids reported arguing with their parents，at least sometimes．And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other．
"It's certainly normal to disagree and argue，" says Darcy Lyness， an American expert． "But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully （尊重地）． Be patient． Don't use a raised， angry voice．"
And not surprisingly， three out of four kids said they had lied to their parents sometimes． Many said they lie so they would not get in trouble or disappoint their parents． According to Lyness，lying isn't just wrong． It can actually have bad results． Telling the truth builds trust．
Telling the truth， says Lyness， shows maturity （成熟）．But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones． Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lie more，but they also reported having less fun， feeling less close and not getting along as well with their parents．
According to Lyness， those feelings are common．As kids become more independent （独立），they have more areas of disagreement with their parents．But it doesn't have to be that way．"Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey，" she says． "As kids grow and change， it is important for everybody to change．"

| May 20，2021 Dear Principal， I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money，since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all，if we all wore uniforms，kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi'an． He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）．"We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生）the codes， and in the end everything gets easier，" said Guo．"When students finish the homework， they keep it on WeChat． Then， each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me． So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone．"
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email， QQ and WeChat． When Guo scans （扫描） his students' QR codes， their homework appears on his phone． He finds that their homework becomes more creative， with many pictures， music and even videos．
Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting． "We are living in the information age． Many students like to work with computers， which makes learning more fun．" said Tingting， a student of Guo's．

As a new teacher in Denver， Kyle felt that there was something she didn't know about her students． She thought up a lesson plan called "I Wish My Teacher Knew．"
For the activity， Kyle's students wrote down a thought for their teacher and shared something they'd like her to know about．
The students loved this idea． Many of them were not only willing to include their names， but also enjoyed sharing it with the class．

"After one student shared that she had no one to play with at break， the next day during break I noticed she was playing with a group of girls． Not only can I support my students， but my students can support each other，" said Kyle．

"I've always had a pretty clear idea of what I want to do．" says Mary， a middle school student who wants to become a director some day． You may not be as sure of your career （职业） as Mary． But you can start thinking about and planning for your future career．
The following article helps middle school students plan for careers．
Explore （探索） your interests
Many middle school students don't yet know what they want to do． But in fact， students may change their minds several times， perhaps even after they enter society． And some of tomorrow's careers might not exist （存在） today． Focusing on just one job in middle school isn't necessary． But looking into the kinds of careers you might like can help you succeed．
①
Understanding what you enjoy and what you're good at is the most important step in exploring careers． If you don't know what you want to do， you should ask yourself what you like to learn about． If you really like science， what do you enjoy about it ﹣ the lab work or the research？ It's important to think about what you like to do，because work will finally be a big part of your life．
Discover possible careers
Once you've thought about the subjects and activities you like best， the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use． If you love sports， for example， you might consider a career as a P．E． teacher or a soccer coach． If you like English， a career as an English teacher， a translator or a travelling guide might be a good choice．
②
After discovering possible jobs， you'll want to learn more about them． Talking directly to workers on the phone， by email， or through online discussion can help you get information about what they do． Even meeting with them in person is helpful． First﹣hand information is necessary for you to find out if you'll really like a career．

Students these days often have a lot of worries． Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork， and sometimes with their friends． What can they do about this？ Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing． Laura Mills， a teenager from London， agrees．"Problems and worries are normal in life，" says Laura． But I think talking to someone helps a lot． Unless we talk to someone， we'll certainly feel worse．"
Laura once lost her wallet， and worried for days．She was afraid to tell her parents about it．She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money．She just kept thinking，"If I tell my parents， they'll be angry!" In the end，she talked to her parents and they were really understanding．Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself． They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful．"I will always remember to share my problems in the future!" Laura says．
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems． He feels the same． way as Laura．"It is best not to run away from our problems． We should always try to solve them．"He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to．This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself．" Students often forget that their parents have more experience， and are always there to help them．
In English， we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half． So you're halfway to solving a problem just by talking， to someone about it．
