Writing journals has been one of the most helpful things I’ve ever done. Through writing journals I’ve not only learned a lot ab out myself, but also removed a lot of obsessive(烦
恼的) thoughts, by writing them down and considering them.
Journals give you a place to write down your honest thoughts without being afraid of what people will think of you. There are some ideas for writing journals: Draw pictures
Write poetry or short stories
Goals: daily a nd long-term
Respond to a magazine article that you are interested in
Write about obsessive thoughts and try to find what’s causing them
A list of things you are proud of (It can always increase your confidence when you
need it)
Make a pro/con(赞成/反对) list when you’re trying to make a decision: most of
the time the decision will start to be clearer afterwards
The best way to start is to decide where you want to write your journal. (Though it’s called the journal, it doesn’t mean you can only do it in a “journal”). If you like the traditional style of journals, then use a notebook, blank paper or graph paper, whi chever you like best. If you prefer to go digital, start a blog. You can make the blog public or private, and i t’s a good way to keep track of articles or pictures you find online. (You can link to them.)
Even if you feel there’s nothing for you to write about at first, you might be surprised to find that once you st art, you can’t stop.
21. What does writing journals help the author do?
A. Make many friends.
B. Do many helpful things.
C. Be free from some worries.
D. Learn a lot about other people.22. Why is making a pro/con list useful? A. It increases your confidence. B. It helps you get what you want.
C. It helps you make great progress.
D. It helps you decide what to do.
23. What do you think about writing journals as a beginner?
A. You have little to write.
B. Writing journals is fun.
C. You’re good at writing.
D. It’s hard to keep track of articles.
B
I was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.
Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.
It seems that there is a set of formula(准则)in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in the real life？”
Movies are also imitating(模仿)the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal(理想的)that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe.For quite a long time, I think that the adults’ world is realistic in the opposite way of the children’s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult’s fairy tales or cartoons.
To sum up, other than false(假造的)comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity(成熟)of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.
24. With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks
that_____.
A．they give him hope of justice and tomorrow in life
B．they are for adult and that he is now an adult
C．they help him forget the real world
D．they are similar to cartoons he used to watch
25．Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions?
A．The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all.
B．The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems.
C．Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies.
D．The audience know they are simply foolish stories.
26．The underlined word “make-believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means_____.
A．something imagined to be real
B．something too ideal to believe
C．a happy ending all the audience desire
D．a belief that is based on facts
27．According to the author, which of the following is the side effect (副作用)of the movies?
A．People may be confused by them.
B．Movies can usually improve real life.
C．Film fans just follow the movie stories.
D．False comfort may mislead the audience.
C
Dear Mayor (市长) Lewis,
As we know, the city budget for next year does not include enough money to maintain the playing fields and skating rink (溜冰场) in Center Park. We are aware that the storms that hit Lyndon last summer caused a great amount of damage, and the city’s budget should first be used to repair the high school, city hall, and airp ort. Don’t you realize, however, what a loss the park will be?
Center Park is the best place in the city for sports, picnics, concerts, walking, and enjoying nature. It plays a vital role in the education of our children. Each
year science teachers bring their classes to the park on field trips to study plants and animals. Small children use the playground equipment every day. There are no other parks nearby for these kids to enjoy themselves. Every day I see the park on my way to school. It is absolutely necessary to support Center Park.
The Lyndon High School Ice Skating Club would like to offer the city some help. We are suggesting a Skatathon. Our members would ask family, friends, and businesses for help, and then skate all day. For every mile skated, we would raise money to be used to maintain the fields and rink溜冰场. Also, some of our members are willing to help the park staff do simple repairs at the rink.
While it appears that the city can no longer afford Center Park, other facts tell us we have to maintain this park as a place for the entire Lyndon community. It is a green, refreshing place to go in the middle of the city. We hope our idea is the first of many good ideas to keep Center Park green and clean.
Sincer
ely yours,
Ca
ra Johnson

D One of the most recent social changes taking place in the world is social networking.Social networking has been in existence for at least 150 years, and probably longer than that. In the times before the invention of the computer and the World Wide Web (WWW), social networking was done in person. People who had similar likes and interests would gather together to share experiences, make new friends, and improve their businesses.
On the Internet, social networking websites made their first appearances during the late 1990s. The first major social networking website in the United States was MySpace. MySpa ce allowed its users to exchange messages, share pictures, and make new friends in
a way that was never thought of in the past. With MySpace, people who did not go out much could reach out to others from their own homes.
In 2004, Facebook was created. It was first a website created for use by Harvard University’s students and teachers, but it soon expanded to include just about everyone. It is now larger than some of the largest companies in the world. It is a website that is changing all the time. Facebook has completely changed the way people stay connected with each other and the rest of the worl d. The way it works is simple. Users can set up a new account(账户) easily. All a new user needs is an email address to start. Once a person has created an account and his friend also has his own Facebook page, he can invite his friend by sending a request out to him. Once you get started, making new friends will come easily.
32. What can we learn about social networking?
A. It is not a ne w development.
B. It made World Wide Web famous.
C. It appeared because of the computers.
D. It helped people develop new interests.
33 What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. MySpace is less famous than Facebook.
B. My Space greatly changed people’s lives.
C. MySpace led to the appearance of Facebook.
D. MySpace was impr oved by Harvard University’s students.
34.. What do new users of Facebook need to create an account?
A. An email address.
B. His friend’s help.
C. High-speed network.
D. His friend’s Facebook page.
35. What does the passage mainly tell us?
