Yesterday, the Peoples Court of Qi County in Henan Province had a special plaintiff, an eleven-year-old boy in the fifth grade. He accused his parents of peeping at his diary, which violated his privacy.
After looking into the case, the judge found out what had happened to the boy and his parents. Li used to be an excellent student, but recently, he couldn’t focus on his studies. His parents were busy with their business, so they cared little about him. However, after learning about their son’s change, they managed to peep at his diary. From the diary, they learned that their son had a love affair with a girl in the same class. Then they got very angry and scolded him severely. As a result, the boy charged his parents with violating his privacy.
Facing the special case, the judge said, “Li is not a grown-up, but he has privacy protected by law. But in this case, what his parents did was to try to understand his thought in order to help him grow up healthily, which couldn’t be defined as an invasion.” Later, the judge told the parents it was unwise to peep at the child’s diary. Instead, they should try to talk to him. With the help of the judge, the boy promised to concentrate on his studies. 1. 以约30个词概括阅读材料的主要内容；
2. 以约120个词谈谈你对“父母偷看子女日记”的看法，包括以下要点：
(1) 看完新闻你有何感受？ (2) 如果你是文中主人公，你会如何做？ (3) 你认为子女和父母应该如何更好地相处。 The news is about a case where an eleven-year-old boy charged his parents with peeping at his diary and invading his privacy. The result is that what the parents did was not an invasion of privacy. Having read the news, I quite appreciate what the judge did. For one thing, he admitted the privacy of juveniles, and for another, he admitted parents’ right to supervise their child. Meanwhile, I felt glad because nowadays, more and more teenagers have legal consciousness. If I were the child in the news, I would be very angry at what my parents did. However, I wouldn’t turn to the court, because they did it just out of concern about me. I could understand them, but I just didn’t approve of their manner. In order to improve the relationship between parents and their children, I reckon communication is the best way to solve problems among them. Through communication, we can understand what’s in each other’s mind. Moreover, as children, we should be more active in reporting what has happened to us and seek help from our parents if necessary.
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy(卑劣的)workmanship and used inferior(低劣的) materials.
It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished his work and the boss came to inspect the house, then he handed the front door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.”
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
1.用约 30 个单词概述上面短文的主要内容；2. 描述你读完故事后的心理感受； 3. 简述实际生活中有哪些类似现象？ 你有何建议？ An old carpenter constructed a low-quality house before retirement. Beyond his expectation, the house was sent by the employer to him as a farewell gift. Upon finishing the story, I am occupied by mixed feelings. I am definitely angry with the carpenter, who obviously lacked a sense of responsibility. Meanwhile, I feel quite regretful for him as well, as his good reputation collapsed due to his last stupid action. As a matter of fact, stories of this kind frequently occur in modern society. For instance, some students cheat in exams; some businessmen sell pirated products for big profits; some public officials go corrupt regardless of their fame. All these disgraceful acts have disturbed the orders of society. We know society is based on criteria, laws and regulations, without which trouble or even catastrophes will come to us. It must be kept in mind that harm set, harm get. Whatever we do and whenever we conduct it, honesty as well as responsibility should be our ultimate pursuit. (166 words)
What can you do when you are unhappy? If you want to let out your anger or pressure by breaking things, you just do. Now a school in Nanjing has built a “stress wall” to help students who feel unhappy due to heavy schoolwork or for other reasons.
The leader of the school said the idea of a stress wall started when footprints were found on some newly painted walls and some school windows were broken.
“These things happen because some students feel lots of pressure from their studies or because they don’t get along well with other students. When under stress, the body gets ready to either run or fight and becomes very nervous. Hitting the wall can help relax the body and take away stress,” he said.
“Tests and homework make me sad,” said a junior girl, “I can’t wait to hit the wall. It will help me a lot with my problems.” However, another girl student who wouldn’t give her name said,” The wall won’t help because it can’t talk,” and she added,” I need to talk to someone when I’m sad.” 1. 以约30个词概括这段短文内容；

The passage conveys to us that to help students with stress, a school built a “stress wall” for students to relax, towards which students hold different opinions. Nowadays, students are under great pressure, mainly coming from their school work as well as peer relationship. As far as I am concerned, building a stress wall is not appropriate. For one thing, even if students punch the wall heavily, the true stress in the bottom of their hearts can not be let out. For another, this may lead to the results of solving a problem with violence of fixing a bad temper, which has bad effects on their health growth. In order to decrease our stress, here are my suggestions. To begin with, we can design more outdoor activities for students to get rid of the stress. What’s more, it is strongly suggested that we can take part in some sports events, which can surely help students out of stress and improve their health at the same time. All in all, only when we let out the stress properly can we live a happy school life.
随着生活水平不断提高，电子媒体日益普及。请你根据下面照片所展示的不同读书方式，结合自身实际写一篇英语短文。内容包括以下要点： 1. 30词左右概述照片内容；
2. 这幅照片所展示何种社会现象及造成该现象的原因； 3. 你更偏爱哪种读书方式，并陈述理由（至少2点）； 4. 字数150左右，文中不得出现真实校名、人名。 As we can see from the picture, an older person and a young man are both absorbed in reading, but in completely different ways: one from books, the other on the mobile. This picture vividly delivers a message to us that some people prefer to read electronic books while others hold on to the traditional way of reading. One dominating factor accounting for the phenomenon is that the rapid development of our society makes it possible for the majority of people to have access to e-products. What’s more, some people turn to e-products simply for the benefit of
convenience. As for me, I would rather choose the former, for some obvious reasons. To begin with, if we read electronic books, a lot of paper would be saved. More importantly, electronic books allow me to gain knowledge whenever and
wherever I am, which saves a lot of time that would otherwise be wasted.
