The Stranger Who Changed My Life
It was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital I found a man running down the hospital steps waving at me. I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport please”he said. As always I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments he started saying “How do you like driving a taxi?”
“It’s OK”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”

Many times during long rides I’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help.
“Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn’t answer. “I have a son 15 a good kid. He wants a job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?”

Talk to Your Kids about Their Eating Habits Carefully
Weight is never an easy subject. It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.
“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat”a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.
It turns out she was right according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were less likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight”says Berge. Instead she suggests fathers should focus on their daughters’interests.That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.
How should parents talk to kids about eating behaviors? According to Berge they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don’t compare them with others. Ideally both parents should share the responsibility. If that’s not possible choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.
11. The writer’s friend advised her not to .
A. worry about her son’s weight
B. take the risk of gaining weight
C. change her own eating habits
D. talk to her son about his weight
12. The study found that some kids had fewer eating problems because they .
A. learned to eat healthily
B. took part in the study
C. focused on their weight
D. believed the scientists
13. When told about their fatness some kids .
A. felt helpless
B. became angry
C. began to eat no food
D. refused to take any advice
14. If a father focuses on his daughter’s interests she will feel
. A. amused B. encourage C. surprised D. challenged
15. When talking to their kids about eating behaviors parents should___________.
A. focus on being healthy
B. use short and simple words
C. respect their kids’views
D. compare their kids with others

Plagiarism（剽窃）
1、You just found some good stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else’s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It’s not allowed in school college or beyond.
2、The word “plagiarism”comes from Latin. It means stealing a person’s ideas. But it’s not always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes it’s accidental. You really intended to do your own work yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.
3、Though plagiarism can be accidental it’s sometimes done on purpose. That’s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places you don’t have to spend the time thinking about the subject gathering your own thoughts about it and then putting them into original words. Cut paste and you’re done.
4、Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism. If you’re caught your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re older and in college some schools will kick out students who plagiarize. When you’re kicked out of one college it can be hard to get into another.
5、To be on the safe side always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that you’ll need to know the author the title and the date it was published. If you write something really great maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.
Task 1
16. Paragraph: 1 A. Purposeful plagiarism
17. Paragraph: 2 B. The cost of plagiarism
18. Paragraph: 3 C. The definition of plagiarism
19. Paragraph: 4 D. Accidental plagiarism
20. Paragraph: 5 E. Detecting plagiarism
F. Avoiding plagiarism
Task 2
21. You commit plagiarism when you .
22. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether .
23. Copying whole paragraphs can .
24. Once caught for plagiarism .
25. If you publish something great people may .
A. you will be punished
B. you have great ideas
C. quote you in their reports
D. take others’ideas as yours
E. save you much time
F. you plagiarize or not

某英文报社正在举办题为“My Hobby”的征文活动。请就此题目写一篇英文短文应征。内容
包括以下两个方面：
●你的爱好是什么？●你为什么有这个爱好？
范文：My hobby
Different people have different hobbies. For example someone likes reading someone likes swimming and someone likes collecting and so on.
I used to read books and draw pictures because by reading books I could learn many funny things. But now I don't like it. I can only learn from books. I couldn't get knowledge from
others. I need a change. Traveling is my favorite hobby now. But I can't go traveling a lot.
I can visit many different places of interest by traveling. I can learn a lot about people places and history. It's very interesting.
Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. What's more it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what it's like to be “a child again!”You can visit one of the “seven wonders of the world”such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! Traveling can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge. You'll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You don't even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just don't forget to bring your backpack!
I love traveling. I have great fun in traveling.
