（共18小题；每小题2分，满分36分）AYou may not realize (意识) it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with (相处融洽) people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?If you find that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect (尊敬) the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.You need to remember an old saying, "Treat others how you want to be treated". If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect differences in others and not try to make them change.It is important to practise tolerance because it will make everyone’s life easier. Learn to accept (接受) people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practising tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.1.

They explained the reason for each one and there was a lot of laughing and kissing. Mrs. March immediately put some perfume on one of the handkerchief and put it to her pocket. Then she put on the slippers and gloves.“Perfect!” she said.The girls spent the rest of the day preparing a play. The sisters often performed plays for their friends and they were very good at making costumes and props.A dozen girls arrived about six o’clock and took their places on the bed in the big bedroom. The play was a great success. Everybody enjoyed it very much. The girls were still laughing and clapping and Hannah came in and said, “Supper is ready.”A surprise was waiting for them on the dining room table- dishes of ice cream, pink and white, fresh fruit, cakes and real French chocolates. And in the middle of all this delicious food there were four vases of beautiful flowers. The girls couldn't believe their eyes.“Did the fairies bring the supper?”asked Amy.“No! Santa Claus brought it,” said Beth.“Mother did it,” Meg said.“No! Aunt March sent it! ”cried Jo.“You are all wrong, ” said Mrs. March. “Old Mr. Laurence sent it.”“The Laurence boy’s grandfather! ” exclaimed Meg. “ Why did he do that? We don’t know him! ”Hannah told one of his servants the story of the Hummels. Mr. Laurence was sorry to hear about your poor Christmas breakfast so he decided to give you a surprise.“My mother says he’ s very proud,” said one of the girls at the table. “She says that he doesn’t like mixing with his neighbors. His grandson has to stay in the house and study all day. We invited him to a party once, but he didn’t come. He’s very shy.”“I’m going to talk to him one day,” said Jo. “He needs to have some fun.

You may wonder.It means the fifteen pounds, or about seven kilograms students might gain (获得) in their first year of college.Many young men and women put on extra weight when they start college. Some schools have studied it. Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, has found that freshmen gain an average of four pounds during their first twelve weeks. That is almost two kilograms. If weight gain continues at this rate (比率), how long will they put on fifteen pounds? The answer is forty-five weeks, or almost a year.And why do so many freshmen gain weight? The answers listed by experts are not so surprising. The freshmen gain weight because it’s the first time for college kids to enjoy complete control over their own lives. They may choose to eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. For example, college students often eat foodshigh in fat. After all, there are no parents around to say no to junk food. Students may also miss meals. They could be in class or studying or just … busy. Also, freshmen often use food to relax their mind, they will overeat when they have food as they have college pressures to deal with.This may be short-lived (短暂的), but the weight gain should not be overlooked (忽视). Remember: It requires more effort to lose those pounds than to simply not gain them in the beginning. Or even worse, they may carry the extra weight around for years.1. What does the “freshman fifteen” mean?A. The first fifteen days at college.B. The freedom first-year college students enjoy.C. The fifteen pounds first-year college students gain.D.

This was how he usually spent his winters. And now it was time, because, at night on his seat in the square, three newspapers did not keep out the cold.So Soapy decided to go to prison, and at once began to try his first plan. It was usually easy. He ate dinner in an expensive restaurant. Then he told them he had no money and they called a policeman. Nice and easy, with no trouble.So Soapy left his seat, and walked slowly along the street. Soon he came to a bright restaurant on Broadway. Ah! This was all right. He just had to get to a table in the restaurant and sat down. That was all, because, when he sat down, people could only see his coat and his shirt, which were not very old. Nobody could see his trousers. He thought about the meal—not too expensive, but good.But when Soapy went into the restaurant, the waiter saw Soapy’s dirty old trousers and terrible shoes.Strong hands turned him round and helped him out into the street again.So now he had to think of something different. Soapy walked away from Broadway and soon he found himself on Six Avenue. He stopped in front of a shop window and looked at it. It was nice and bright, and everybody in the street could see him. Slowly and carefully he picked up a stone and threw it at the window. The glass broke with a loud noise. Soapy didn’t move and smiled. “I’ll be in prison now.” he thought.The policeman came up to Soapy, “Who did that?” he asked.“Perhaps I did,” Soapy replied.But the policeman knew that people who broke windows did not stop to talk to the policeman. They ran away. And just then the policeman saw another man, who was running to catch a bus. So the policeman ran after him. Soapy watched for a minute. Then he walked away. No luck again!
