Ms. Nelson got the idea after noticing that Matthew Finney, a shy boy from her homeroom at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington State, was standing outside his classroom crying and wearing a winter hat. Ms. Nelson could see the back of his neck had been shaved, and since Matthew usually had very thick curly brown hair, she realized that hed had a haircut over the weekend. She asked him what was wrong， and he said hed gotten a buzz cut for the summer. But this morning, a fifth grader on the bus made fun of him, and he didnt want to e to class and get laughed at by other kids. Ms. Nelson tried to convince Matthew to e inside, but since school rules banned kids from wearing hats indoors he refusedexplaining that he was afraid of showing his haircut to the other children in case they also made fun of him. Finally I said, If you take your hat off and e to class, Ill let you give me a buzz cut too, Ms. Nelson told Yahoo Parenting. I figured its just hair, and mine is already short anyway. I might as well get it shorter in time for the warm weather. Matthew excitedly took her up on the offer, and Ms Nelson and another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together during break time. A school employee brought in scissors, which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watching as their teachers hair fell away onto the ground in the schoolyard. It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel better about himself. said Ms Nelson. You have to do what it takes to reach children. Teaching isnt just about reading and writing: its about self-worth and accepting differences.24.

Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners. A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude. When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others dont. Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job? Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak, look at the interviewer. Also, dont say negative things about yourself, or former employer. Listen to questions carefully. If you dont understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain: Im sorry, but I didnt catch that. Im not sure exactly what you mean. Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They dont expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job. At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time. Its a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand. Phone the pany if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job. Good luck!28. It can be learned from the passage that _ .

Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? _ A. A Friendly SmileB. Making a Good ImpressionC. Dont Be NervousD. Sending a Than-You LetterD Recently, the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, added about 1,000 words and new definitions to its website. The changes are to help users understand a mix of terms, some dating back many centuries. The additions include words such as “brencheese”, “deathshildy” and “hip-pop”. The new entries are part of the panys update to oed., its searchable online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year. But the latest print version has been in process since the year xx, and may not be ready for 10 more years. That information es from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the panys dictionary operations in the United States. Usually, the OED watches usage of a word for at least 10 years before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to an existing entry, she said. This general rule, however, is sometimes not followed. That is what happened with “tweet”, a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark. Other times, the pany adds words that are very old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past. “Its funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already obsolete. Its just that they were never in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press. That is the reality, she said, of a historical dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855,000 entries. So, you get “brencheese”, a rarely used term for when bread and cheese are eaten together. The word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old English. It means someone who is guilty of a serious crime and condemned to death. The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that bines parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pennsylvania newspaper. It noted that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U. S. newspaper report about the rap artist M.C. Hammer. The website has added several other terms related to modern culture. They include three popular terms: “binge-watching”, “spoiler alert” and “microaggression”. Here are a few other new entries if you long to read on.32. What has the OED done recently?A. It has made changes to its words explanations.B. It has sorted out some words which are out of date.C. It has helped users to have more convenient use of the OED.D. It has taken in more words and new meanings of some words.33. The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.A. deserted B. updated C. changed D. explained34. What will the paragraph following the passage most probably be about?A. The influence cultures have on the words in the OED.B. The difficulties the OED has in choosing the words.C. The effect modern technology has on the OED.D. The new vocabularies the OED has included.35. Whats the best title of the text?A. The OED, a Great Help for English LearnersB. A Brand New Version of the OED WebsiteC. A Better Understanding of Words in the OEDD. Examples of the OED Choosing Words第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Avoid Weight Gain Over HolidaysDo you love the holidays, but hate the pounds that follow? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. 36 Whether you are celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, regard eating as a time for tasting a variety of foods.

Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. 37 Control portions. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up.” 38 Once you have your “tasting” serving, move away from the dining table. Doing so will make it less tempting (吸引人的) to be eating constantly as your appetite is inspired by the sight of food.Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand with water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.Stick to physical activity. 39 A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off additional calories. 40 Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat.
