【题目】The youngest of five children in a poor family, Clara Barton was born on Christmas Day 1821 in Oxford. Before the Civil War, Clara’s most famous achievement (成就) was the establishment (建立) of a free public school in New Jersey. Her only medical experience before the war was when she cared for her sick brother for ten months.

During the war, Clara soon devoted herself to saving the wounded soldiers who needed medical supplies. Because of her successful operation, she was praised by the U.S. general, William Hammond, and was allowed to travel with army ambulances.

For the next three years, Clara traveled along with the army operations throughout Virginia and South Carolina. In addition, she also formed a program at Camp Parole, where she attempted to find any soldier who was missing in the war.

Upon the war’s end in 1865, Clara set up an information center to aid in locating missing soldiers. Meanwhile, she made lectures quite frequently, and as a result of exhaustion (筋疲力尽), three years later in 1868, she suffered a breakdown and went to Switzerland to recover.

How to control embarrassing moments

Have you ever done something embarrassing? At that moment, you probably wished you could disappear into air. Good news? You can keep the damage to the minimum. Here’s some help.

【1】

You are staring at a handsome boy so hard that you walk into a wall. You dropped all your books. The best thing you can do? If you’re not hurt seriously, laugh it off. Say like “Hey, I can teach you to do that if you want to!” By laughing at yourself, you show people you’re confident and still in control of the situation.

【2】

Some situations are not suitable for laughing off. Your underwear falls out of your backpack. You pass gas while giving a speech. Making a joke would call more attention to what happened. What now? You can just pretend nothing happened and go on what you were doing, or you can say “Oh, that was awkward” and then move on.

【3】

Some embarrassing situations may embarrass yourself and make someone else feel bad. You imitate (模仿) your teacher’s accent just as the teacher walks in. Making a joke or running away won’t make you look better. Instead, apologize, “I’m so sorry about that.” It may make things right again.

A. Apologize

B. Move on

C. Laugh it off

D. Run away

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look . 【1】.

The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and part of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. 【2】.

But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.

【3】. “We do not want to kick fashion out.” the headmaster

explained, “but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.

【4】. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 【5】. “I don’t really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter, when dressed like that, it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”

A．But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.

B．A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.

C．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.

D．Most students have simply ignored the request.

E．Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request simply for practical reasons.

F．Requests.

G．Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.

【题目】阅读理解。

When six the very best students from different cities in Guangdong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment （录取） rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.

Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.

It's no doubt to call this HK craze （狂热）, which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.

How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?

First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.

Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual （双语） education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.

Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.

Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.

The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China．After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.

At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees （学费） are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.

【1】What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.

B. Higher education in Hong Kong.

C. The competition between HK University and Peking University.

D. The fall of mainland universities.

【2】Top students from mainland apply for （申请） HK universities because ______.

A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience

B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities

C. HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study

D. Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation

【3】From the passage we can see HK universities _______.

A. didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland

B. didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular

C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there

D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities

【4】What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?

A. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.

B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.

C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge HK universities.

D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

My dentist had just pulled out one of my tooth and had told me to rest for while. My mouth was full with cotton wool. He knew I collected bird eggs and asks me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me a lot of other question. In answer to these questions, I could neither nod or make strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy search out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, so couldn’t say everything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool, I was able to tell him of that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.
