Some high-school students in Australia are not allowed to carry mobile phones during school hours.‎ The mobile phone used among children has become a problem for the school years. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas presents, and more students want them. Marry Brown, a headmaster, said that the mobile phone was a distraction to students during school hours and it also gave teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers also say that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.‎ She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t get in touch with their children.‎ Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school office.

I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. ‎ Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.” ‎ ‎29.

And that the country now has the longest high-speed rail network in the world.     Speaking of the significance of the new documentary for the Chinese, La Peikang, the head of China Film Corp, says: “It’s not only about showing the achievements, but presenting the status quo (现状) of China.”     “The film will help people to know our country better. The moving stories behind the Chinese miracles reflect the people’s endeavors and spirit.”‎ A good documentary is usually a vivid portrayal (描绘) of individual Stories rather than slogans, and Amazing China is no exception.‎ One of the most touching moments in the film is probably footage from an interview of Nan Rendong, often called the “father of FAST”.‎ Amazing China also focuses on common people.     In the film, you see a young Tibetan woman volunteering in rural areas to help people reduce poverty.‎ The movie shows that their work is not easy, but their spirit and unwavering belief make it possible to achieve their targets. And, they are just representative of the many Chinese who work as hard.‎ China is the world’s second-largest economy. But the country still faces “the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life”, as stated in the CPC’s 19th National Congress in November. However, as this cinematic production proves, the documentary is a good ‎ way for the country to boost self-confidence and to aspire for a brighter future.‎ ‎33.  Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. The documentary is to be filmed in the near future.‎ B. The documentary is intended for foreigners.‎ C. The documentary focuses on common people more.‎ D. The documentary unfolds through presenting individual stories.‎ ‎34. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Story of Common People  ‎ B. Remarkable Achievements C. A New Era of China  ‎ D. A Powerful Country[]‎ ‎35.Where can you possibly read this passage?‎ A. A government report. ‎ B. A brochure. ‎ C. An academic journal. ‎ D. Newspaper.‎ 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Methods To Help You Learn French The French language, without doubt, is considered one of the most beautiful and romantic languages in the world.
