Many people say that it spoke the minds of millions of people who feel they have been in a boring and normal life and want to do something different to change it. Whatever the teacher may be able to achieve with her life， it is meaningful for people to make their dream come true.So， what is your opinion? Should we praise（表扬）the teacher for resigning and following her dreams?Yes-All of us have dreams that cant come true right now.First， Too many people waste their lives by doing things they dont love simply because it is what people expect them to do. They are not happy and they also affect（影响） people around them. The earlier they can break free， the more meaning they can make out of their lives.Second， It is a waste of peoples talents and social resources（资源） if they dont get to do the things they are most talented at. Some people dont want to be white-collar workers all their lives. They should have the freedom to change their lives.Third， As our country develops so fast， people have greater freedom to change their lives as long as they put in the time and effort. The teacher is a good example.No-People cant change their lives overnight.First， “Seeing the world” is not good enough an excuse to leave ones job and life. This kind of attitude could actually be a bad example for young people.Second， Everyone has a place in society and life. People may not have achieved their wildest or most ambitious dreams， but where they end up is the result of their and societys decisions. Unless they offer to make lots of efforts and sacrifices， people cant change their lives overnight.Third， The reason why the teacher gave up her job is too unclear. It is too irresponsible.（1）Why does Gu Shaoqiang become popular recently according to the passage? A . Because of her dreamB . Because she is a very famous teacherC . Because of her resignation letterD . Because she wants to see the outside world（2）The Chinese meaning of underlined word “ overnight” is . A . 隔夜地B . 一夜间地C . 通宵地D . 随时（3）Some people disagree that we should praise the teacher except（除了） A . It is just an excuse to run away from the job and life.B . Everyone has a social place and each should makes efforts to change lives step by step.C . If someone wants to leave the job， it is polite and necessary to tell your reasons instead of one piece of easy sentence.D . People have freedom to change their lives， the teacher sets a good example.18. （10分）阅读理解（A）Have you ever been to Taiwan, the biggest island of China? Do you want to visit there?

Children born under Aquarius may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mothers exposure to sunlight in pregnancy(怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of Vitamin D in the body. The lack of this in the first months of life may have a bad effect on mental and physical health.Vitamin D, called the sunshine vitamin, is known to help regulate（调节） thousands of genes during development, according to a study of more than two million people. So Vitamin D has a good effect on health This study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the USA showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.Professor Russell Foster, an Oxford University neuroscientist on seasonal biology, said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.（1）A babys season of birth doesnt affect its_.A . healthB . heightC . length of lifeD . mind（2）According to the passage,_ can help people get Vitamin D.A . enough sleepB . enough sunlightC . fresh air D . suitable seasons（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . People born in spring may not be in good health.B . Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born under Libra.C . Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in themD . People born in May will live longer than those born in October.（4）What does the passage mainly tell us?A . People can know the length of life by star sign.B . Women should choose to give birth to children in spring.C . A childs season of birth has some effect on him or her.D . Vitamin D is very important to peoples health.四、 单词拼写 (共1题；共10分)20. （10分）语法填空A: Time flies! Its time to say goodbye to my junior high school!.
