Ⅱ.阅读理解
My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter，some of his words have lived in my heart.One part always stands out.“Right now，you are pretending to be a time-killer.But I know that one day，you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be，and neither did I，but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself，I remember his words and wish he were here，so I could ask，“Is this what you were talking about，Dad？Should I keep going？”
A long way from 12 now，I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress.Lately，though，I’ve come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next：to be proud of and believe in，somebody else.It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail.They’re only afraid of failing us.They don’t worry about being disappointed.Their fear—as mine was until my father’s letter—is of being a disappointment.
Give your children permission to succeed.They’re waiting for you to believe in them.I always know my parents love me.But trust me.That belief will be more complete，that love will be more real，and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts：“Don’t worry；you’ll do something great.”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

Ⅲ.任务型读写(建议用时14′)
Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolved round criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer，and what is more，he has to apply it on his feet，in the dark and rain，running down a street after someone he wants to talk to
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad，unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime dramas are about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested，the story is over. In real life，finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks，little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest，a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.
A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: firstly，as members of a police force，they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly，as expensive public servants，they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If the detective has to deceive the world，the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-minded—as he see it—of citizens，social workers，doctors，law-makers and judges，who，instead of eliminating crime，punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result，detective feel，is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical (愤世嫉俗的).
