In films, spies(间谍) are lucky people. They are smart and adventurous. But a real spy’s life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives.American spy Nathan Hale (1755-1776) was one of these people.

Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it.Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (). He and his people fought the British army.

In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information from the British army.He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots. He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots.It turned out that as a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. Hale died on Sept 22, 1776. His final words were: “I only regret I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21. 36. Why did Nathan Hale become a spy?

Do equations and historical(历史的) facts give you a headache? A change in the school timetable (课程表) may be the cure.

This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.

The researchers studied students’ grade reports, class timetables and absence rates(缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years.The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon.In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, there was no sign that similar patterns(模式) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.

VelichkaDimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform(表现) better at different times of the day.“In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention” Dimitrova told The Telegraph.“In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said.Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.

Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults.Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students’ performance just by changing their timetables. 41. In which classes do you learn equations (Paragraph 1) according to the passage? A. Maths B. Geography C. English D. History 42. According to the new study, ______.

A. afternoon classes lowered students’ performance in history B. school timetables have an influence on every subject C. it was better for students to learn math in the morning D. lower-ability students preferred to start school earlier 43. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. It shows the importance of studying different subjects at different times of the day B. It introduces the best time to do things that require memory and creativity C. It encourages students to change their study methods for better results D. It explains how school timetables affect people’s study performance

4

44. According to Dimitrova, ______.

A. rearranging(重新安排) school timetables is the best way to improve students’ test scores B. schools should follow advice from the study and actively change their timetables C. most schools don’t have enough resources to support timetable changes D. schools should think twice before changing their class timetables 45. What is the best title of this passage? A. Time to change the timetable. B. A survey carried out successfully

C. Secrets of learning math and history well D. Body clocks influence grades

More than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today, according to the United Nations. Phone calls and messages help us easily make contact with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive (《见字如面》), is bringing back this old habit.

Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode (集) they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.

“Every letter opens another world for us,” according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show. “It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.”

Since its first episode on Dec 5, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audience(观众) members said that it has offered a breath of fresh air to today’s TV shows.

BesidesLetters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences. They include Chinese Poetry Conference, a classical Chinese poetry competition, and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.

“This means that our audience are not only looking for entertainment like gossip(八卦) and eye-catching games,” reported China Youth Daily. “Cultural values and true feelings are the keys to winning praise.”

Is the spirit of Lei Feng outdated(过时的)? This year, my classmates and I went to one of our city’s tourist attractions to help clean i 72 up. We finished our work, took photos and chatted with street vendors(小贩) about their lives. One old lady said she r 73 how all students used to go out into the streets and do voluntary work. Another told us that when she was small, she and her friends did a lot of simple b 74 practical things to help others. They helped old people carry things or fix broken chairs at school. “But things have c 75 over the years. The younger generation(一代人) doesn’t really understand the spirit of Lei Feng,” an old man said. “Young people do ‘good things’ b 76 they are told to and take photos to put on the school website.” His w 77 made me think. We were told to do things to help people on Lei Feng Day. But none of that love and care came from our own hearts. What should m 78 most are our good intentions(动机) and the ability to 6

follow them through.

We should believe that every one of us can make a difference. Good will means giving a h 79 hand to people whenever possible, even if we can only make a small difference. We shouldn’t need c 80 or praise to make us do good things. We can only pass on the spirit of Lei Feng if we actually feel that spirit inside ourselves. 71.c___________ 72.i__________ 73.r_________ 74.b 75.c__________ 76.b___________ 77.w_________ 78.m________ 79.h___________ 80.c__________

In the past, I seldom had breakfast. Instead, I ate too many snacks. Besides, I often stayed up to watch TV or play computer games. As a result, I hardly had time to do exercise. What’s worse, I always kept worries to myself, so I felt lonely and stressed from time to time.

However, I have improved a lot. I eat more fruit and vegetables instead of meat and snacks, and it keeps me healthy. I get up early and go to bed early. Every day I do exercise for half an hour. I usually play basketball after school. It makes me relaxed and happy. When I have problems with my study, I talk to my friends and ask my teachers or parents for help. And it makes me feel less stressed.

In my opinion, having a healthy lifestyle is important for me. If I am healthier, I will be happier.
