Dear Principal (校长) Stanton,
The date for our yearly Desert Path Pride Spirit Week is rapidly coming and the Student Union has been discussing some new ideas about how to celebrate school pride this year. Since Spirit Week is the week before scheduled testing, we would like to suggest combining (结合) student festivities (庆祝活动) with preparation for testing. We want to assure you that all activities would focus on learning while providing fun for those to take part.
Our plan for the week is as follows:
Monday—Math Day would include fun math games in the classrooms and school-wide activities such as guessing the number of bricks in a building, recording times at relay races, and competitions for multiplication facts.
Tuesday—Reader’s Roundup would focus on books and authors Students and teachers can come dressed as their favorite author or character from a book. This day would be great for the contest of “Best Reader”. Older students can share reading time with younger aged students.
Wednesday—Writer’s Day would show student writing from the competitions (held a week ago) for types of writing like poems and stories. Of course there would be prizes given for excellent writing in each type.
Thursday—No Fear Day would be where we have our exciting assembly (集合) to get us ready for testing. The Student Union could even put on a short play showing how all of us at Desert Path are ready for test week.
These are just a few of the ideas we are asking you to consider. We would like to have the opportunity to meet with you and discuss our plan and to hear what ideas you may have for Spirit Week. Please let us know when you can schedule some time to meet.

Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the event. Here were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.
Then Ms.Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I an to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation. But I have followed your careers(事业)and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies(不幸). I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person. I have attended your college graduations weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives(动机), I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.””There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.“
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

Following tips from a tourist guide 15 years ago, Zhao Jiang went to Mahabalipuram, a town, that despite its architectural splendors, golden beach and performing arts, was strictly off the map for Chinese holiday-goers at the time. Then in October, came the news that Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would have an informal summit (峰会) at the same seaside resort in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
“I was happy that Tamil Nadu got the chance to host the summit and enjoy the spotlight, and I was proud that what I have learned and am working on has now become well-known.” Zhao, who heads the Tamil language service at China Radio International (CRI), said.
It has been an illuminating (有启发性的) journey for Zhao. In the mid-1990s, when she went to study a foreign language at the Communication University of China, she chose her major more on a quirk.
“At that time, the university was offering Bangla, Nepali, Swahili and Tamil as foreign languages. I knew Bangla was spoken in Bangladesh, Nepali in Nepal and Swahili in Tanzania. But I had never heard of Tamil and I had no idea where it was spoken: So I signed up for this unheard-of language,” she said.
Today, she is an expert in Tamil, the major language in Tamil Nadu. It is also spoken in Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia. One of the oldest languages in the world with a history of about 2,100 years, its script (书写文字) is formidable (强大), leading to a famous Indian business man calling it “the Great Wall of Tamil”.
8. Why did Zhao Jiang go to Mahabalipuram 15 years ago?
A. Chinese tourists loved to go there. B. Leaders often had meetings there.
C. Zhao Jiang loved the architecture there. D. A tourist guide advised her to go there.
9. What can we learn about Zhao Jiang’s job?
A. She hosts the important summit. B. She charges the Tamil branch.
C. She works as a journalist. D. She enjoys the spotlight.
10. What does the underlined phrase “on a quirk” probably mean?
A. Against one’s will. B. In advance.
C. By accident. D. In a hurry.
11. What is called “the Great Wall of Tamil” by an Indian business man?
A. The spoken form of Tamil language. B. The long history of Tamil language.
C. The writing system of Tamil language. D. The only expert on Tamil language.
D
Success and Risk(风险) in Extreme Sports
What is it that drives some to take extreme risks,while the rest of us hurry for the safety of the sidelines?
Lester Keller, sports-psychology expert, says that not everyone has the mental makeup to do well in extreme sports. He notes that most of us hit a natural ceiling(天花板) that limits our interest for extreme risk. But others have a much greater interest for risk. Keller points to a top ski racer. He told Keller that the great risk makes you feel alive, tests what you are made of and how far you can take yourself. He said he would get nervous on some of the courses, but that this would just make him fight more.
Psychologists note that some people seem to be crazy for adrenaline(肾上腺素) rushes as a behavior looking for excited feelings. Like many extreme athletes, Emily Cook’s interest for risk appeared at a young age, “ was a gymnast,” she said. “I was one of those kids who enjoyed and did well at anything where you were upside down”. As she started doing harder tricks, she was drawn to the challenge. “There are moments when you’re up there doing a new trick and it seems like an impossible thing. But overcoming that is just the coolest feeling in the world.”
Shane Murphy, sports professor, has worked with groups climbing Everest. “To me, that just seems like the height of risk,” he said. “But to them it was the next step in an activity that they’ve prepared for years.” Murphy said the view of extreme athletes is different from our own. “We look at a risky situation and know that if we were in that situation we would be out of control. But from the athletes’ view, they have a lot of control, and there are many things that they do to minimize(最小化) risk.”
Another understanding of risk may be something referred to as “the flow”, a state in which many athletes become concentrated on the acts that focus the mind completely on the present. “Something that makes you try doing a tougher climb than usual, perhaps is that your adrenaline flows and you become very concentrated on what you’re doing,” Murphy says. “After it’s over, there’s great excitement.”
People of different skill levels experience the flow at different times. Some may always be driven to adventures that others consider extreme. “I can enjoy hitting a tennis ball around, because that’s my skill level,” Murphy says. “But others might need the challenge of Olympic competition.”
12. By using the term “natural ceiling” in Paragraph 2, Lester Keller points out that
A. extreme athletes must learn special skills
B. extreme athletes have chances to take risks.
C. many people don’t want to do extreme sports.
D. many people can’t limit desire for extreme sports.
13. What does Shane Murphy think about the mountain climbers he mentions?
A. They put in lots of preparation for challenges.
B. They are more fortunate than other sportspeople.
C. They carry little risk when facing big challenges.
D. They have special reasons that others can’t easily understand.
14. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us?
A. Extreme athletes use techniques or skills that other people don’t use.
B Non-athletes are probably wise not to try extreme sports.
C. Most people can’t concentrate on bigger risks.
D. A certain state of mind makes people want to try something difficult.
15. We can learn from the passage that .
A risk-taking is something you either naturally do or avoid
B. those who take risks will possibly be successful in life
C. extreme athletes are driven by a need to be better than others
D. taking part in extreme sports is not as difficult as people think
