(2016·平顶山第一次模拟)Jan Fields, our web editor, has always loved two things — writing and teaching, so she's done both throughout her professional career. After graduating from college with a BA in Journalism, she quickly found that writing for newspapers didn't fulfill her dreams. So she switched to magazines and soon began teaching magazine writing. Still, something didn't feel quite right. She wanted more challenges and creativity.
In the 1980s, Jan answered a call to rewrite a year's children's church lessons. She quickly found that writing stories and activities for children offered all she desired. She dove in and has never looked back. Her work has appeared in Ladybug, Shining Star and many others.
As Jan continued building credit in children's magazines, educational magazines, and parenting magazines, she looked for opportunities to pass along what she had learned to other writers. Soon, teaching small community college classes wasn't enough — she wanted to help other writers to find success in creating material for children.
In 2001, she discovered the Institute of Children's Literature and she's been happily instructing students here ever since. To best meet her students' needs, she's constantly searching out new information. As a web editor, Jan looks after the needs of all the visitors to this site. She moderates the Scheduled Events discussion groups and the Writer's Retreat forum, writes for the Writer's Support Room, and edits the Writer's Support Room and Writing Tips articles.
Jan is always open to suggestions for new ways to meet the needs of the writing communities. Feel free to email her. She's eager to hear from you.

(2016·青岛市高考模拟)When I began planning to move to Auckland to study, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs, the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.
Despite these worries, I came to New Zealand in July, 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.
Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However, I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.
One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. People there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner. As I was about to leave, a clerk in the building, who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later, he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.
I was a little surprised, but had a good feeling about him, so I went along. Along the way, I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume (简历)．The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking, and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

(2016·河南省洛阳市统一考试)All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners. Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.
Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grownups were talking. Today, wellmannered children have more freedom.
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.
Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like your food.
In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say, “Excuse me, please.”
In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together. People show good manners by turning their backs to others while they eat.
What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.
Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one. People will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.
Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。不同时代、不同地域、不同国家有不同的礼仪，在某个地方得体的礼仪未必在另一个地方也适合。

(2016·聊城模拟)You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you're not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?
If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She's a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.
“The trophy has to stand for something，” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving
in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.
Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.
“I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College,
in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts.”
Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”
There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。如果孩子参加体育比赛，那么是不是每个人都该得到奖杯呢？文章就这个问题给出了两种不同的看法。
12．According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?
A．Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.
B．David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.
C．Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.
D．Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，斯坦福大学的心理学教授Carol Dweck认为，获奖的运动员未必是最好的运动员。她认为，进步最大的、对团队精神贡献最多的和表现最佳的运动员都应获奖。故C项正确。
13．Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?
A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.
B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.
C．Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.
D．It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授Kenneth Barish认为，我们应该鼓励孩子参加体育活动。颁发奖杯就是一种激励方式。
14．The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．
A．honourB．choose
C．value
D．stress
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第六段可知，Barish认为，当我们挑选出最佳球员或进步最大的球员并授予他们奖杯的时候，我们给孩子们传递了一个错误的信号：获胜就是一切。因此画线的短语“single out”意为“挑出”。
15．Which shows the correct structure of the text?
解析：选B 篇章结构题。本文的第一段为导语，导入讨论的话题。第二、三段陈述了斯坦福大学的心理学教授Carol Dweck的主要观点：反对参与者人人获奖。下文(第四段至第七段)陈述的是纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授Kenneth Barish的观点，即赞成参与者人人获奖。因此B项清晰地展示了本文的结构。

Do Prep Your Clothes
You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated. Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they're in good condition. Make sure all buttons are fastened, and that you can't see any stain. __2__
Don't Donate Damaged Items

Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·银川质量检测)David will never forget what happened to him the day before yesterday. He __1__ (eat) something at home when he received a strange phone call from a hospital. The caller said that his son __2__ (fall) to the ground unconscious on the way to school. It was he __3__ took him to the hospital. David hung up his cellphone and rushed to his son's classroom, only to find him listening to the teacher attentively. He suddenly realized that he had been cheated, but he felt __4__ (relieve).

The doctors here say they will not operate __6__ your son until they receive the money.” When __7__ (ask) from where the caller had taken his son to hospital, the caller rang off. David gave a big smile and said, “What a pity！”
If the cheater thought he could get money from David in such a __8__ (honest) way, he was wrong. Such phone calls are common these days. A few of them might have fallen victim to such tricks. Most parents are sensitive to __9__. It was really silly to cheat welleducated men like David.
Believe it or not, it's a true story. The __10__ (colleague) in his office can confirm it, such as Tom, Peter and so on.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。电话诈骗现象现已屡见不鲜，大卫就遇到过一次。有人骗他说他的儿子受伤入院，需要立刻交钱做手术。但是大卫识破了骗子的伎俩。作者认为，大多数家长对此类骗局很敏感，去骗像大卫这样受过良好教育的人很愚蠢。
1．was eating “be doing ... when ...”是固定句型，意为“正在做……这时……”，符合句意；由从句中的“received”可知，此处应用过去进行时，故填was eating。
2．had fallen 因为从句谓语动词“fall”发生在主句谓语动词“said”之前，表示“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时。故填had fallen。
3．who/that 句意：就是他把他(大卫的儿子)送到医院的。分析句子结构可知，本句属于强调句，被强调的成分是句子的主语“he”。如果被强调部分是人时，可以用who或that。故填who/that。
4．relieved 句意：他突然意识到自己被骗了，但是他感到如释重负。“felt”在本句中是系动词，其后应用形容词，故填relieved，意为“感到宽慰的，放心的”。
5．an 分析句子结构和句子大意可知，此处泛指“一个手术”，空格处应填不定冠词，由于“immediate”的读音以元音音素开头，故填an。
6．on operate on sb.是固定短语，意为“给某人做手术”。故填on。
7．asked 分析句子结构可知，本句属于省略句，从句省略了“the caller was”。由于动词“ask”与其主语“the caller”之间是被动关系，故填asked。
8．dishonest 根据上段可知，打电话的人想骗大卫的钱。由此填dishonest，意为“不诚实的，骗人的”。
9．them 短语be sensitive to意为“对……敏感”。由此结合上句可知，空格处缺少宾语them，代替前一句中的“such tricks”。故填them。
10．colleagues 根据句中“such as Tom, Peter and so on”可知，本句说的是好几个同事，应用复数。故填colleagues。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·银川二中一模)I'm very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks before. I have been thought about the question raised in your letter. In my opinion, you should go back after you finish your studies at abroad. For one thing, that you are studying is badly needed nowadays in our country.

参考范文：
I was walking to school this morning when I caught sight of an old woman with a walking stick lying on the ground. I quickly ran over to help her up and asked her what was wrong with her. She told me she slipped and fell due to heart trouble. I was worried and decided to take her to a hospital. And then I went to a department store near the hospital and contacted her family. Soon her son and daughter came to the hospital. They thanked and praised me for my kindness by writing me a thankyou letter. Although I was late for school today, I felt very proud of what I had done.
