Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most different to live through,” she said. “After everything I’d done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like looking for another job. I hated every- thing about the city and my life.”Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.“The moment I arrived at Kathy’s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay.” said Zoe. “Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It’s a hard life, physically very tiring.” she says. “In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need t o put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy’s wonderful dinners.”2Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor.

Luckily, there are some outdoor activities which don’t involve breaking sweat.River raftingHot summer weather and cool water—what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and exciting. When the raft follows a gentle stream, the view of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting. And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster, you feel a rush of adrenaline(肾上腺素). Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving.Where to find: River rafting trip are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges(三峡).Tips: Wear a helmet and life jacket at all time; bring enough sunscreen; and bring lots of water.CavingPeople say that the only naturally air—conditioned place in summer is a big cave.

Because of this, developing more positive self talk is an important way to reduce stress in your life. You can help yourself maintain a positive frame of mind, which will help with positive self talk by surrounding yourself with positive energy in your life.

More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in focus groups.Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a positive e use for effect on their4students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an easily distracted generation with short attention. And 64 percent said the technologies “do more to distract students than to help them academically.” Many students think “doing research” now means just doing a quick search on Google.The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is a deputy director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. “Teachers really embrace (信奉) these tools because they are ways to make some of learning exciting and engaging. Young people embrace these tools. And the goal is to help them become creators of content, and meaningful content, and not just sort of consumer.But one problem the survey found is that many students are lacking in digital literacy. In other words, they trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to judge the quality of online information.“It’s just a lot to learn about how to distinguish credible sources. And it’s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to. I t’s like everything else—in a world in which things can happen quickly, you really do need to have a way to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have. And teachers can do a lot to teach that. “Another problem the survey found is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.71. It can be inferred from the passage that students .A. think they just do a quick search on GoogleB. are overly dependent on search enginesC. are making the best of printed books or research librariansD. haven’t developed the abilities to judge the quality of online information72. Most teachers think the digital search tools .A. draw away students’ mindB. help students judge the information preciselyC. make students more hardworkingD. help students learn more and learn faster73. According to the last two paragraphs, what is the teachers’ biggest worry?A. Teachers might lose their teaching job.B. Teachers couldn’t do a lot to teach.C. Students took too much time off to surf the Internet.D. Students are ignoring resources around.74. Judy Buchanan’s attitude towards the Internet and digital search tools is.A. doubtfulB. negativeC. supportiveD. indifferent75. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Impacts of the digital age on teensB. Conveniences of Google to teensC. Ways to take an online survey for teensD. Contributions of the Internet to teens第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节阅读写作（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）[1]An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to quit and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to shoddy (伪劣的) workmanship and used poor materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.[2]When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the employer handed the front door key to carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.” What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.5[3]So it is with us. We build our lives in an inattentive way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently.[4]Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board or make a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.[5]The plate on the wall s ays, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Who could say it more clearly is the? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.76.
