閱讀下面短文,并按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。

  When a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保單), or any other records that might help, at the store of buying.In most cases, this action will produce results.However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.

  A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager.In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled.In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.

  Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

  Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question.If this can't be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements.For example, “The left speaker doesn't work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This tape recorder does not work.”

  The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible.But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can take a step further.He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.

My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA (美國(guó)宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探測(cè)器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.

I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…”

Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.

On August 5, 2012, at 10: 31pm, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.

Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She would tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.

People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.

1.How did the author get the news about the essay contest? (within 7 words)

           

2.In which year was the author born according to the passage? (within 2 words)

       

3.Why did author have a front-row seat in NASA? (within 10 words)

A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60 years of walking the wards - and she has no plans to retire.

Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953 - when the National Health Service (NHS) was just five years old - and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.

The diabetes(糖尿病) specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts(輪班)each week.

Mrs. Reid said: "Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job. Working for the NHS has been my life. I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life.

Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals--including one in Scotland.

Her specialist field has been diabetes for the past 40 years. She retrained after her 12-year-old daughter Michelle developed the disease. She currently works at Southend Hospital, Essex.

Over the last 60years she has treated tens of thousands of patients.

Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts. She said: "There're lots of things I would say to the government. If you are going to get good care you have to have the resources(資源), you can't do it without enough money. They shouldn't need the cuts that there are in the NHS. It's hard now because there's a shortage of staff."

Jackie has lived alone in Grays, Essex, since her husband did three years ago.

The couple have two daughters Michelle, 50, and Karen, 54.

Jackie added: "My youngest daughter worried about me - she doesn't think I should work as much as I do. I constantly say 'don't worry about me, I'm fine', but she never believes me. I don't like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever."

1. In which year was the NHS set up? (within 2 words)

2. What does Jackie think of nursing? (within 6 words)

3.When did Jackie retrain in the field of diabetes? (within 6 words)

4.What does Jackie wish the government to do? (within 7 words)

5. Why does Jackie's daughter worry about her? (within 8 words)

閱讀下面短文,并按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。

[1] Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:

[2] Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.

[3] Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.

[4] Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.

[5] Review regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.

[6] Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test.

[7] There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.

1.What’s the main idea of the passage? (no more than 8 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

2.What should you do if you fail a test? (no more than 4 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

3.According to the passage, how can an average student improve his/her grades? (no more than 6 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

4.What does the word “it” (line 5, paragraph 5) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

5.Among these suggestions, which one do you think is useful to your studies? Why? ( no more than 25 words )

____________________________________________________________________________
