Dear Principal Stanton, The date for our annual Desert Path Pride Spirit Week is rapidly coming and the Student Council has been discussing some new ideas about how to celebrate school pride this year. Since Spirit Week is the week before scheduled testing, we would like to suggest combining student festivities with preparation for testing. We want to assure you that all activities would focus on academics while providing fun for those involved. Our plan for the week is as follows: Monday—Math Day would include fun math games in the classrooms and school-wide activities such as guessing the number of bricks in a building, recording times at relay races, and competitions for multiplication facts. Tuesday—Reader’s Roundup would focus on books and authors. Students and teachers can come dressed as their favorite author or character from a book. This day would be great for the contest of “Best Reader”. Older students can share reading time with younger aged buddies. Wednesday—Writer’s Day would display student writing from previously held competitions for types of writing like poems, stories and essays. Of course there would be prizes given for outstanding writing in each category. Thursday—No Fear Day would be where we have our spirited assembly (集合) to get us ready for testing. The Student Council could even put on a skit(短剧) showing how all of us at Desert Path are ready for test week. These are just a few of the ideas we are asking you to consider. We would like to have the opportunity to meet with you and discuss our plan and to hear what ideas you may have for Spirit Week. Please let us know when you can schedule some time to meet.

22、Who would have thought of creating a library in a war zone where danger surround people? But a few book lovers have built an underground library in Darayya, Syria, which provides learning, hope and inspiration.
Anas Ahmad is one of the founders of the library and he is a former civil engineering student. Many times he and his friends risk their lives to collect books from destroyed houses near the front line. That means they have to be extremely careful when they go through bombed-out buildings; they have to hide themselves from snipers (狙击手).
Since the library was built, its creators have collected more than 14,000 books from abandoned (被弃置的) houses and buildings. “We saw that it was important to create a new library so that we could continue our education,’’ said Ahmad.
People throughout the city have put the library to good use. Doctors in the town are using the books to continue their studies and treat patients; these books even help them perform surgeries (手术). Teachers are using the books to prepare classes in the war town. Unfortunately, children will not be found in the library as it is too dangerous to walk there.
“You can read about everything in books,” said one reader in the library. “They provide hope to us and help us seek light in the darkness.”

23、The shower,I find,is the best place to cry.The water covers the sound of my sadness,while washing away any evidence of my pain.I shower after the kids have gone to bed;it's the only time I can be alone.
I always did my best to protect my two children from my tears.If I needed to cry,I cried by myself.Yet,I encourage my two boys to cry.My 7-year-old prides himself on never crying at school."Oh,but you must cry,"I insist. "Crying is good.It gets the sadness out.Never hold back your tears."
But then I did just that.What might it do to them to see their mother upset? Then my father died,and there was no way I could schedule my grief and keep my feelings inside.I tried to get on with things,but the sadness still came. The realization that my dad was actually gone hit me with an intensity(紧张)that was impossible to cover up.To my surprise,my boys didn't seem too alarmed.Later,they found me hiding in the bedroom one afternoon,weeping."It's OK,mommies get sad too,"I told them,smiling through my tears.“Don't be sad,Mommy.Granddad is coming back as a baby,”my 7-year-old said,his tiny arm stretched across my shoulders."Think about love,"he went on."Think about all the people who love you."
I realized that in hiding my pain,I was only denying what it means to be human,I felt as if I had led my sons to believe that "negative" emotions are only a concept,and not something they should possess.It's one thing to tell my children it's OK to cry.It's another to show them how it's done.We owe that to our children,according to social researcher and author Brene Brown.During her TED talk,Brown said,"It's necessary we be seen—deeply seen".
"Our job is not to protect our children,to keep them perfect,"said Brown."Our job is to look and say,‘you're imperfect,and you're made for struggles,but you are worthy of love and belonging’."
【1】According to the passage,the author .
A. seldom schedules her grief B. believes boys should be tough
C. finds inspiration when she showers D. often gets her sadness out
【2】Where was the author when she was found crying by her son?

24、 These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”
What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally.” Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional.” It seems that, for millennials (千禧一代), typing in this form is not only quick but trendy.
As you can see, much millennial slang (俚语) is formed by so-called “totesing”—the systematic abbreviation (缩写) of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes,” but it has now spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slang are more complex than “totesing.” “Bae,” for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one’s romantic partner or, for someone without romantic connection yet. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.
Some people might think millennial slang lowers the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist Rosey Billington doesn’t agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analyzed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots.
It isn’t simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker’s mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.
【1】Which of the following best explains the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A.Creative and fresh. B.Flexible and practical.
C.Swift and romantic. D.Time-saving and fashionable.
【2】Why is “Bae” mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A.To analyze how it came into being.
B.To explain why it has been widely used.
C.To introduce some other millennial slang.
D.To show some millennial slang has complex origins.
【3】Which of the following about millennial slang is true according to the passage?
A.It has no specific rules.
B.It is usually used casually.
C.It requires a good command of English.
D.It’s simply a way to reduce word count.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.A Language is Widely Used
B.Linguists Approve of Totesing
C.English Has Greatly Improved
D.E-slang Catches on Among Youth
