suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter.Passage OneHere is how to make a daily schedule for every moment of your day to take control of exactly how you spend your time.Draw a chart of all your waking hours, using one square for each half hour, labeling each square with the starting time.For example, label the first half-hour square 6:30 a.m., and the next one 7:00 a.m.Make a list of everything you need to do, from taking a shower to doing homework and after-school activities.Write things that have specific start time on your chart.For instance, if you know you have to catch a bus at 7:00 a.m., fill in that square “bus”.Move on to the things that don’t have a specific start time, but must get done.Before you fit them in, think about the time of the day.It may be a good idea to schedule homework before dinner, since afterwards you may get too sleepy to concentrate.Give yourself a break-a little bit of free time.If you have an important event, adjust other things, so you can make your schedule work out.Consider using different colored pens to color different responsibilities: for example, yellow for family chores, red for school events.You’ll sense how your day is planned out just by glancing at your schedule.We can’t predict what is going to happen every day, so time management should be flexible.Spending two hours at the dentist’s means you probably won’t be able to stick to your schedule.You can make it up by giving yourself an extra square the next day.21.According to Paragraph 2, if you are awake for 16 hours each day, you will need _______squares on your schedule.A.8B.16C.32D.4822.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A.A daily schedule will help you spend every part of your

an example of the things that have no specificstart time?A.Getting to the bus stop.B.Taking a shower.C.Homework.D.A break.24.If an urgent thing happens, what will you do?A.Just do everything according to the schedule.B.Deal with it first and give up everything in the schedule.C.Deal with it first and make it up the next day.D.Ask for other’s advice and decide what to do first.25.This text mainly tells us about __________.A.how to use a daily scheduleB.how to make a daily scheduleC.a daily schedule for school workD.why a daily schedule is usefulPassage TwoI’m twelve years old.I’m large for my age and have big feet.I look like both my mum and my dad, but in different ways.I have fair hair and blue eyes like my dad, a mouth and expression like my mum.My nose is like my mother’s and definitely nothing like my father’s.As a girl, I am very much like my mum in character, but without her hot temper.I behave rather like a boy, but I’m not violent.I hate fighting and arguments.I make friends easily with people of all ages.My home is very important to me and I have to be sent to a boarding school.On the whole I’m a fairly tidy person.I am quite creative with my hands.I like making models, decorations and candles as well as other things.I like acting and music.I can play two musical instruments --- the violin and the drum.I am not a keen reader because I like to be outside most of my free time.I ride my bike a lot and have been on holiday with it.My father lives abroad and I enjoy travelling to see him.I enjoy my food and I like sweet things but I hate the dentist.I don’t like my hair being brushed by someone else and I hate it long.Finally, I really find that homework is boring.I would rather be outside or make something.21.The writer is very much like her mother, but

introduced to an older one, a man is introduced to a woman, a guest to the host or hostess, and a person to a group.When making an introduction, we should mention the woman’s name first.People nod, smile and usually shake hands when they are introduced to each other.In a business situation, men always shake hands with one another.But women do not often shake hands when they meet for the first time.Here are some meeting and greeting customs around the world:In Chile, people usually shake hands when they meet for the first time.When two women first meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the cheek.They also greet both male and female friends with a kiss.Men give their friends warm hugs or something kiss women on the cheek. Finns greet each other with a firm handshake.Hugs and kisses are only for close friends and family.People in the United States shake hands when they are first introduced.Friends and family members often hug or kiss on the cheek when they meet each other.In these situations, menoften kiss women but not other men.British people rarely keep hold of your hand for very long when they shake hands.But in many other countries, it is not polite to let go of your hand too soon.Unfortunately, this makes many people think that the British are not friendly.26.In social settings, _______.A.an older person

holiday.Traveling is fun, but being lost in a foreign place is definitely not.So you should not only have some knowledge about the city where you are going to, but also learn how to ask the way.If you want to stop someone and ask the way, the best way to get his attention is to say “Excuse me.” This phrase can be used regardless of gender and age.In this way you will never make a mistake about their titles.And it is not always correct to call a man “Sir” and a woman “madam” or “Miss”, because in different situations you may have to call them differently.In asking for directions, try not to ask a question more than once.If you can’t follow the speaker, you can repeat the key words you hear.Look at the following example:A: “Go straight ahead for three blocks and then turn right.”B: “Three blocks, and then ...?”In this way, the speaker will realize that he has been speaking too fast and will probably slow down for you.The most important of all, you must be polite when you are asking for directions.People like to help polite strangers.Good manners can make it easier to get help.You should smile sincerely and look into the eyes of the person you are speaking to.Keep a distance and do not stand too close because people will feel unsafe as you are a stranger.Finally, you should say “Thank you” whether or not you get the answer.26.Though traveling is fun, it is definitely not fun to _____.A.get lost in a foreign placeB.speak to a foreignerC.ask the way onlineD.going abroad alone27.Which of the following is the best way to stop someone and ask the way?A.SirB.Madam.C.Miss.D.Excuse

churches, a coffee shop and a tree-lined Main Street.It’s the sort of place where an actor with both promise and ambition grows up and then leaves, never to return.Well, I left Chelsea when I was 21 to try my luck as an actor, for a number of years.Then my wife and I asked ourselves where we wanted to raise our children.The answer was easy: it would have to be Chelsea, where we’d met.It was home.Small towns might have a reputation for being set in their ways, not good places to start something new.Well, I have to ing back to Chelsea, I felt free to try things I hadn’t done before---like writing a play.I was sure if we had the space we could find the actors and experiment.We bought an old warehouse.That was the beginning of The Purple Rose Theatre---what I wanted was a place for the 21-year-old kid I used to be to exploreand grow.And that’s what The Purple Rose has become ...a place for actors to get the training and chances I did and to get as good as they can before they leave.In the Boy Scouts they say, “Leave a place better than you found it.” Well, I think it’s true of the towns and cities where we live.In the meantime, I’m not leaving.Sure,I go to California to
