We did that last summer. And what an experience it was ! When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear enter Our Camp. Tom wanted his father to chase him away. His father Said, ''No. It's dangerous to chase a bear. And don’t let him ch ase you.'' Susie said, ''What shall we do? Maybe we ought to climb a tree .'' Tom Said, ''No. We've got to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent.” Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat.'' Susie suggested. Then I said,''How are you going to get the honey? It’s in the tent.'' We watched the bear entered the tent and heard him upset everything inside. “ It's foolish for us to try to catch him,“ said my husband “Leave him alone and wait for him to come out” We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car.Questions1 Where have the family decided to go in the vacation this summer2 Who do you think saw the bear first3 What did they do when they saw a bear enter their tent4 What did the bear do in the tent5 where did we sleep at last?答案与分析1 A 注意这题问的是“this summer” ，考点就在第一句话“Our family is trying to decide” 正在试图决定，也就是尚未决定。

It is reported that the number of people committing suicide is on the rise. Many of them committed suicide just because of some little frustration such as failing an exam. If they had paid more attention to their mental health, they might not have reacted in such an extreme way.How to keep ourselves psychologically healthy? First, we should adjust ourselves to the new conditions. When we go to a university as freshmen, or go to work in a strange city, we may become nervous because everything is so unfamiliar. The only way out is to adjust ourselves to the new conditions and shake off the anxiety quickly. Second, we should know our-selves well and admit that we are just ordinary people. Knowing that ordinary people may not be good at everything, we can easily accept some small failures in our lives. Third, we should try to share our feelings with friends. By doing this, we are assured that any difficulty can be solved since we are not alone.It is very important for us to be psychologically healthy, and we should pay more attention to our mental health.Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:You have heard that your friend, Jim, wishes to sell his bike.

In my opinion, we should try our best to help others in a reasonable way.We should try to help others, no matter they are strangers or not. First, helping others is a virtue, and it will make our society more harmonious. Just imagine what a terrible world it would be if everyone was coldhearted! Second, to some extent, helping others is helping oneself. We may come across some trouble and need others’ help some day. If everyone t urns a blind eye to our trouble and turns a deaf ear to our appeal for aid just because we are strangers to them, what shall we do at that time? Therefore, we should be glad to help others.However, helping others may sometimes bring us trouble or even put us in danger. So when we are helping others, we should also protect ourselves and offer our help in an appropriate way. For example, to help someone who was robbed, calling the police is a much wiser way than chasing the robbers alone.Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:Your friend, Ann, just lost her grandmother, and is feeling very sad about it.

Key to Exercise TwoSection 1. Compound DictationMartha Leathe’s belief is derived from（come from）her experience with children, not so much the one she is taught but her own, the task of raising children is often a test of belief as parents come to realize that their actions provide the lessons that children (1) assimilate同化to be similar . Here is Martha Leathe with her essay for this I believe.Several weeks ago, I got a call from a good friend whose husband had just been diagnosed with (被诊断为)prostate cancer(前列腺癌). “Do we tell the kids?” she asked.“Absolutely,” I answered.“Do we use the C-word （cancer委婉语）?”“Yes, I think you do,” I said. “The boys deserve to know the truth, however heartbreaking it is.”Adults always insist that children be honest, but how many of us are honest with our kids, particularly about the tough stuff: death, sex, (2) corruption（腐败）, our own failings?I believe in telling children the truth. I believe this is vital for their understanding of the world, their (3) confidence and the development of their morals and values.This does not mean kids need to be unnecessarily (4) frightened, or told more than they can handle. When our son was 6, he tagged along紧跟，尾随while his older sister got her nose-ring changed. In the shop, he sifted through （check and sort carefully）a big bin of brightly (5) packaged condoms. “What are these?” he said.“Condoms,” I replied.“What are they for,” he asked. Briefly, I explained what condoms are, (6) precisely where you put them and how they work.“Oh,”he said, clearly (7) disappointed, I think, that they weren’t candy. It wasn’t a lot of information, but it was the truth.Many people think they are protecting children when they spare them the truth. I disagree. I believe children (8) possess an enviable (to be envied) ability to cope with and make sense of what even adults find confounding困惑的.When we are honest with children, we also validate their intuition. If we can admit that, yes, people can be mean, grandma does have a drinking problem, divorce is painful, we allow children to trust their gut. (9) They can begin to recognize and rely on their own inner voice, which will speak to them throughout their lives.Kids also have an uncanny (surpassing the normal异乎寻常) sense of when something is up: They realize when we’re uneasy, they can tell when we’re lying.One night, I was in the car with our two oldest daughters. (10) It was dark and cozy — the perfect time for a heart-to-heart conversation.Out of the blue, one of our kids said, “So, Mom, have you ever smoked pot（大麻）?” I stalled a little, but the girls persisted. They had me, and they knew it. So I told them the truth, albeit（虽然）somewhat abridged（缩略）. What ensued was a frank discussion about the lures and perils of drugs. I believe my honesty was much more effective than warnings or platitudes（陈词滥调）.These same daughters are in college now; we have two other kids still at home. (11) And while I have made plenty of mistakes as a parent, I do have clear and open relationships with each of our kids. I believe that my being truthful with our children has paid off, because I’m pretty sure that now they are honest with me.上述是一篇叙述型的文章，不是考试类型，就练习一下dictation题型及熟悉语音语调和速度。
