At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the country. I didnt know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!My journey began with attending TESOL certification course in my home state of New York last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours study online, I received my TESOL certificate.I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldnt wait to explore the country!After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailands cities! After that, I attended the weeklong training. At the end of the training, I was sent to my schoolAnuban Buriram Primary School.I truly love my jobI teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. Its a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone elses life, right in front of you!Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone Ive ever metIve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say “Hello” and “Good morning”.

However, students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (动能的) tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be produced. After one year, the electricity produced from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones or power(供电) an electric car to drive seven miles. Its amazing, isnt it?The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students can not only play on the corridor, but also help power the lights in their school corridors and other equipment in their classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students to be creative. They will beinspiredto be scientists, inventors and engineers in the future to find clean energy for all humans.The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is CEO of his own company. The corridor tiles are not Laurences only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor, which can be used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while they are dancing on the dance floor.20 .

This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1500 BC to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always. been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain(大脑). The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and working out problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed.Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged(损害) when they are born However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因)for right-handedness, he/she may become either right-handed or left handed according to the chance(偶然性) and the people they work or live with. Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.25 . How many people in the world are left-handed now?ALess than one sixthBMore than a half.CAbout 40%.DThe passage doesnt tell us.26 . What is the left hand for most people used to do?AIts used to find or hold things.BIts used to work with things.Cits used to make a persons hands and eyes work together.Dits the centre for thinking and working our problems.27 . The best title for this passage is _AScientists new inventionsBLeft-handed peopleCWhich handDDifferent brains, different hands三、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及首字母提示完成单词28 . Green and white are my f_ colors.

Heres my list of five things I hope to share with you teenagers at school.38 . _I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I compare me with myself. I ask myself if I do things as well as I could.39 . _How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear will usually never happen. Theyre just monsters in your own mind. Even if they happen, they will often not be as bad as you expected. In six months, you probably wont remember most of the things you worry about now.40 . _When I was young, I often failed to start things I expect to do because I thought theyd taken too long to finish. I always wanted to write a book, for example. But when I thought it might take me more than a year, I lost my enthusiasm（热情）. It seemed such a long time. Now I know a year is nothing. If Id started that book when I was 16, I might have written 10 more by now. Im upset with myself for not even trying.41 . _As a young child, you try many new things. If you fail, you try again and again until you learn. But at school you are usually encouraged to do things right. Then you stop trying new things in case you get them wrong. You are losing chances to challenge yourselves. I always remind myself: I had fallen off the bike many times before I learned to ride it.42 . _I hated losing when I was younger. Of course, its nice to win sometimes and to be the best at something. But we cant all be winners all the time. Learning to lose is one of lifes most important lessons. If you try your hardest, then you should never be angry with yourself.六、书信作文43 . 书面表达假设你叫王红,你的好友李扬在学习英语时遇到困难,请根据表格内容给李扬写一封70词左右的信。信的开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。李扬的问题( problems)1.当别人说英语时,他有时听不懂2总是忘记许多新单词3.害怕写作文( composition)4.常犯语法错误你的建议(advice)1.尽量听大意( main idea)而不是每个单词2.反复练习3交一个笔友4向老师和同学寻求帮助Dear Li Yang，I know its not easy for you to learn English, but I have some advice that may help you. _ Yours,Wing Hong第 10 页 共 10 页
