But what about teachers we dont know or even dont like much? You can do lots of things to get a good connection with your teachers. First, do the right things: show up for class on time, with all assignments pleted. Be active, be respectful, and ask questions you cant solve by yourself. Show an interest in the subjects. Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldnt have decided to teach them! Showing the teachers that you careeven if youre not a math genius or fluent in Englishsends the message that you are a good student.

You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed one-on-one than when talking in front of the whole class. Here are some things to avoid when you are trying to build a good relationship with your teachers: Not being sincere. Teachers sense it when your only goal is to get special treatment, a college reference, or a job chance. Trying to be teachers pet. Your behavior will e off as insincere and your classmates may start to resent you. Giving expensive gifts. Its OK to offer some kind of gift to show your appreciation to teachers if theyve been helpful to you. But giving expensive things could send the wrong message, and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive. 21. The passage mainly gives advice on _.

In the supermarket, I noticed a little boy, holding a doll and looking so sad. He turned to the old woman next to him, “Granny, are you sure I dont have enough money?” The old lady replied, “You know we dont have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.” Then she left for something else and the boy still stood there. Finally, I went to the boy and asked him who he wanted to give this doll to. “It is the doll that my sister wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Father Christmas would bring it to her. ” I told him that maybe Father Christmas will bring it to her. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Father Christmas cannot bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mummy will also go to see God very soon, so I thought that she could bring the doll with her to give it to my sister.” Hearing this, I quickly reached into my wallet and took a few notes and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case if you have enough money?” “OK,” he said, “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without his seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll. The little boy said, “Thank God for giving me enough money.” Then he looked at me and added, “I prayed to God yesterday before I slept to make sure I have enough money to buy this doll. He heard me.”28. Why did the boy look so sad at the beginning of the story?A. He lost his money.B. His Granny wasnt kind to him.C. He didnt get a Christmas gift.D.

In the end the boy thanked God instead of the writer because _.A. he thought it was God that had helped himB. he thought the writer wasnt kind enoughC. the writer did nothing to help himD. the boy wasnt polite enoughD For many Chinese filmgoers, the name of Stephen Chow alone is enough to draw them into the cinema for The Mermaid(美人鱼). The latest film from Hong Kongs “King of edy” has had a record-breaking first week, earning 1.79 billion yuan at the box office since Feb 8. It stands a good chance of replacing Monster Hunt as the highest grossing Chinese film by this weekend. Most mermaid films tell the story of love between humans and mermaids, and this one is no exception. But Chow, the director, writer and producer of this fantasy film, includes the theme of environmental protection into this story. In recent years, Chinese edy films have relied on online words or expressions that have bee fashionable or used a lot by the media to gain favor with young audiences. Chow, however, sticks to his unique “nonsense edy” called “mo lei tau”. Its the same style that established his popularity as an actor in the 1990s, and Chow has since adopted it to direct his films. While Chows fans may feel satisfied by his latest outing, the film failed to win over some critics. “The Mermaid is a mix of repeated jokes, poor special effects and an old-fashioned, Cinderella-style love story. It does make audiences laugh, but it is also embarrassing,” according to the most-liked review on douban. Is Chows style out-of-date? Thats a matter of opinion. But so far, millions upon millions of moviegoers have shown their support at the ticket counter.32. How was the film The Mermaid at the box office? A. It has broken the record of this year. B. It has earned 1.79 billion yuan in total.C. It is possible to replace Monster Hunt as the highest grossing Chinese film by this weekend.D. It has been a success on Feb 8.33. How does The Mermaid differ from most other mermaid films? A. It tells the story of love between humans and mermaids.B. It uses many fashionable online words or expressions used a lot by the media.C. Its director Chow adds the theme of environmental protection into this story. D. It tries to gain favor with young audiences.34. Why does the film get criticism? A. Because Chows fans are disappointed at the film. B. Because it doesnt make audiences laugh.C. Because Chows style is out-of-date. D. Because someone thinks of it as an old-fashioned love story.35. What is the authors attitude towards Chow and the film? A. Negative.B. Subjective.C. Disapproving. D. Objective.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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The key to dealing with test-day anxiety is through preparation! 36 It is important to prepare your mind and body for the experience of working under pressure.
