Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life . Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer ’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works? ’ And today it ’d be ‘ Would you marry one who doesn ’t?’” The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump ”. Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to writer her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success.

Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer. B People have been using herbs and spices(香料 ) for thousands of years. Generally, herbs come from the green leaves of plants or vegetables. For example, the grey-green leaves of sage are used to add flavor to some foods. Spices come from other parts of plants and trees. For example, cinnamon comes from the hard outer cover of cinnamon plants. Ginger comes from the part of the ginger plant that grows underground. Some herbs and spices are valued for their taste. They help to sharpen the paste of many foods. Others are chosen for their smell. Still others were used traditionally for health reasons. Some herbs and spices may be gaining importance in modern medicine. For example, the spice red pepper could help people lose weight. This could be especially true for people who don ’t usually add spices to their food. Researchers from Purdue University reported about the effects of red pepper in the journal physiology & Behavior. They found that small changes in diet, like adding the pepper, may reduce the desire to eat. The spice used in the study was dried and ground red pepper, which is a chili pepper. Most chili peppers contain capsaicin, a substance that makes them hot, which can reduce hunger and burn calories, the energy stored in food. Over six weeks, twenty-five people of normal weight took part in the study. Thirteen of them liked spicy foods. The twelve others didn ’t. The researchers decided how much red pepper each group would receive. One and eight tenths grams of the pepper was given to each person who liked spicy foods. The others received three tenths of a gram. The people who didn ’t normally eat red pepper showed a decreased desire for food. That was especially true for fatty, salty and sweet foods. Purdue University Professor Richard Mattes said the effect may be true only for people who don ’t usually eat red pepper. He said further studies need to be done to learn how long the effect of red pepper will last and how to extend the effectiveness. 31. Which of the following can NOT be used as herbs and spices? A. The grey-green leaves of sage. B. The underground part of the ginger plant. C. The green leaves of all vegetables. D. The hard outer cover of cinnamon plants. 32. What can be inferred from the passage? 4 A. People losing weight like to eat pepper. B. People should not make changes in diet. C. Food has no taste without herbs or spices. D. Capsaicin burns the energy stored in food. 33. Red pepper is valuable to people going on a diet because it _______. A. changes their taste B. decreases their appetite C. offers lots of calories D. shrinks their stomach 34. We can conclude from the last paragraph that the effectiveness of red pepper may_______. A. be lost if spices are normally part of a person ’s diet B. be better if spices are part of a person ’s diet C. be lost if a person hates fatty and sweet food D. be rather short if a person hates spicy foods 35. The author tells the effect of red pepper by________. A. telling a story B. describing a study C. giving enough reasons D. providing researcher s’ opinions C As a senior, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanford ’s graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future. It wasn ’t always like that, though. It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. It’s the first big step to making your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He, too, felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainly. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well. This doesn’t mean that students shouldn’t attend college, but rather that they shouldn ’t worry so much. You’ll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding than you ’d like. Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don ’t panic. One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish ” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you ’ve learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated. Steve Jobs’s level of success is attainable, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like it ’s my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life, I ’ll be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for. 36. The author felt worried when _________. A. he had to take tests at school B. he thought about his future C. he had lots of sleepless nights D. he searched for words of wisdom 37. It is suggested in Paragraph 1 and 2 that ______. A. Steve Jobs didn’t attend college B. Steve Jobs failed because of his decision C. the author is a college student D. the author cares much about his future 5 38. What did the author gain from Jobs ’s speech? A. Courage to drop out of school B. Confidence in defeating Jobs. C. Interest in computer industry. D. Bravery to face uncertainties. 39. What did NOT Steve Jobs encourage students to do in his speech? A. Have the desire to learn more B. Be content with what they know C. Stay calm in the face of hardships. D. Be modest so as to learn more. 40. The passage is mainly about_______. A. the wisdom drawn from a speech B. the most impressive quote in life C. a memorable meeting with Jobs D. an experience of a speech D Are you singles, who do not have a sweetheart and hate V alentine’s Day?

According to the investigation, there are two reasons why fast food is popular with middle school students, of which the first is that fast food is delicious and various and that it is also convenient to have food. On the other hand, its popularity is also attributed to its comfortable environment and the good service of fast food restaurants. However, it is said that fast food is far from satisfactory in terms of nutrition and may cause weight problems and some other diseases. It is suggested that middle school students should turn to fast food once in a while and keep a balanced diet every day. 读写任务： （参考范文） The story tells us that the young man upstairs came back late every night and made loud noise, which made it impossible for the doctor downstairs to fall asleep. From the story we can see that being a good neighbor is very important and necessary in our life. Being considerate and friendly plays a very important role in getting along with others. My family live in a five-storey apartment block. We respect and help each other and we have been getting along well with our neighbors. From where I stand, a good neighbor should first be friendly and considerate. Though neighbors live close, good neighbors respect others ’ space and privacy. Good neighbors wave at the people around them and chat with them and may stop to pet their dogs. Second, good neighbors help each other. When one family in the community are in trouble, their neighbors always give a hand. Most importantly, good neighbors are respectful. They avoid keeping others awake with loud parties or barking dogs.
