They are afraid they will be played jokes on by a bully. One study found that 52% of children reported being bullied at least once a week. Sixty percent say that they know someone who could harm them. One student was always being joked because he was short. He didn't like to go to school because he had to face the bullies.Some children choose not to go to school at all so they can avoid the bullies. When they miss school, students fall behind their classmates. A new program is helping put an end to this problem. The program is teaching kids how to deal with bullies. This is helping more children feel safe in school.One school principal is working to end this negative behavior. Last year, he decided to let students know bullying is not allowed there. Students are now encouraged to report bullies and stand up for themselves. Those found to be bullies face harsh penalties (处罚). Students at his school participate in a program called "Be Bold". In this program, students work together to prevent violence. They do skits and go into classrooms to talk about the problem. They give other students strategies on how to deal with bullies.The principal says that the school has changed since he has addressed the bullying problem. But there are other steps parents can take to help their children with this problem. First, students and their parents should know the school's rules about bullying and what they should do if it happens. Second, children should be taught to stand up for themselves. They should try to resolve issues by talking them out. If the problem continues, parents and children should record each incident. Children should tell someone if they are being joked.Many children keep bullying a secret. Parents should look for warning signs of bullying. These can include cuts and bruises (瘀伤), worrying, wanting to stay home from school, or a sudden drop in grades.36. The bullies in school can mainly solved by .A. the principal's addressB. the parents' measuresC. the students' talking them outD. harsh penalties37. How can parents know whether their children are bullied at school?A. By keeping in touch with their teachers.B. By telephoning the principal.C. By asking the children themselves.D. By searching warning signs of bullying.38. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. A bully is a person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to Smalleror weaker people.B. The best way to avoid the bullies is to miss school.C. The school has taken some active measures to avoid the behavior of bully.D. It's not only the responsibility of school to fight with bullies.BYou’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words to h ow they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.“Studies before have shown that mimicry(模仿)brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,〞wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.〞So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!〞Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear----it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at WashingtonUniversity in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $ 100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $ 100.“That’s also a point of tipping,〞Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there you’d nev er get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.〞39. How many factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage?A. 2.B. 1.C. 3.D. 4.40. According to the passage, a customer gives the cab driver a tip for ____.A. driver’s politenessB. driver’s mimicryC. driver’s attitudesD. being there41. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the rightchange of the tip percentages?42. According to the passage, we know the writer seems to _________.A. oppose Mr. Green’s idea about tippingB. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonableC. give his generous tip to the waiters very oftenD. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tippingCHere are six steps to better studying.Pay attention in classDo you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention.Take good notesWrite down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.Plan ahead for tests and projectsWaitin g until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.Break it upWhen there’s a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let’s say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night.Ask for helpYou can’t study effectively if you don’t understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you’re at home when the confusion occurs, your mum or dad might be able to help.So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan—but suddenly you can’t remember anything! Don’t panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.43.We know from the passage that a loud person is .A. a student who always answers questions loudly in classB. someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voiceC. a student who likes speaking with others in classD. a person who makes a lot of noise in public places44.

To read all your notes the night before the test.D. Try to remember everything on the first try.45. If you don’t understand what you have learnt, you can .A. read your notes over and over againB. turn to people around you for helpC. put aside the material for later reviewD. ask your teacher to explain it the next day46.

The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman's kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland, "It's OK. It wasn't your fault. "When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few news of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It's hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, "I could buy this place and fire you," or "I know the owner and I could have you fired." Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealthThe CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management."A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swanson says. " I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables."47. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman's dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman comforted him.D. The woman left the restaurant48. Odland learned one of his life lessons from .A. his experience as a waiterB. the advice given by the CEOsC. an article in FortuneD. an interesting best-selling book49. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about .A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Management RulesC. Swanson's bookD. the Waiter Rule50. From the text we can learn that .A. one should be nicer to important peopleB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should respect others no matter who they areD. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsEShakespeare ,more perhaps than any other writer ,made full use of the greatest resources of the English Language . ___51____;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty—five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it .Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage ,and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford—on—Avon ,and that he died there in 1616. ____52_____ ,but of this we cannot be sure .We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children .We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces .53However , 54 . For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long tine criticshave been theorizingabout the plays .Sometimes ,indeed ,itseems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it .___55___ .Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.A. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of EnglishB. Fortunately this is not likely to happenC. He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the townD. But this is almost all that we do knowE. what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its incidental details but itsproducts , the plays and the poemsF. there were a lot of famous writers living in EnglandG. Shakespeare is famous for his great works.第II卷主观题〔总分为35分〕四、单词拼写〔每一小题1分，共10分〕56.The supermarket door will open a________ when a person approaches, so youneedn’t push it open.57.
