One spring，when 1 was 1 0，during one of my father’s layoffs，I could tell my mother was unhappy．I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift．
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins，which，I learned years later，was known for its high-end fashions and style．I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins，telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present．
“Do you think she’d like a purse ?”she asked．“I think she might．”I told her．
She took out an Italian purse made of leather．She asked me what I thought，and I told her that my mom would like it．
“How much money do you have?’’she asked．
“Twelve dollars，”I said．
“You’re in luck，”she told me．“It’s only $11．You have a dollar left over for the card．” She wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business，and I rode off home with the package under my arm．
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning，she asked in an accusing tone，“Where did you get this?”
“I bought it at the Agins．It cost me$1 1．’’I said．
My mother was shocked into silence．
It wasn’t until many years 1ater，when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars，that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me．I always felt regretful  that I never had a chance to properly thank her．
‘‘You know，my son，what really amazes me to this day，”my mother said．‘‘Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough．But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that 9 11 never forget.”

Writing about poetry is very similar to writing about a story or research you have conducted .The first thing you have to do to write an essay about a poem is to read the poem Very carefully and read it more than once．
Each poem says something，so try to figure out what the poem is saying to You .What ’s the theme of the poem ?What’s the attitude of the speaker of the poem ?How does the poem use words and sounds to communicate its message ?When you answer these questions，it can help you come up with a thesis(论题)for your essay·

As long as you can use evidence  from the poem and from your research about the poem or poet ,your thesis is correct．
Before you even start writing，  read the poem again once you have your thesis·  At this point，you’U be able to read the poem with new eyes since you know what you’ll be writing about．Go through the poem with a fine-toothed comb and pick out everything that supports your thesis．When you find quotes you want to use，write them down In an outline of the main points of your essay．This will help keep you organized．When you write a quote down, be sure to cite(引用)it correctly．Depending on the text of your essay, you may or may not want to include the poet’s name in your quote．  Once you have everything ready to go，You are all set to write your essay．

This text is mainly intended to       ．

Alexi s Vaughan，17，sat tiredly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car．The early Saturday morning run with her father，Michael，was part of the punishment．She stared sadly out of the window at the cornfields．
An experienced hunter，Alexis let her eyes lazily search for wildlife．She was shocked when a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them．Mule deer never appeared in plain sight ten days before hunting season．It was a buck—a male deer with sharp，three-pronged antlers（三齿鹿角）．
Suddenly Alexis heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head．She realized the buck was attacking a woman．Sue Panter had been Out for her morning run．The deer had appeared from the tall corn and begun following her．Having lived in the countryside of Idaho for years，Sue knew that most deer got frightened by humans．But this deer moved closer，even when she threw a handful of small stones at it．
“I knew I was in trouble，”she says．
The buck rushed forward，lifted her up with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel the antlers made small holes in her leg and blood ran down her leg.
When the Vaughans pulled up，the buck was throwing Sue like a rag doll. Before her father had stopped the car，Alexis rushed out of the car and down the slope（斜坡）toward the buck．“1 was kicking and hitting it hard with my fists to get its attention so that It will leave the woman，”she says．However，the animal was not frightened at all．Then Michael pushed the buck away from the woman by the antlers．
Alexis helped Sue up the slope and into the Vaughans’car．Then she tied a tourniquet（止血带）to Sue's right leg．Her neck was cut．Then she heard her father shout loudly. Michael had been knocked to the ground，his right leg seriously cut by the buck. Alexis took a hammer from the car and ran to where Michael lay on his back in the dirt．She beat the buck’s head and neck，but the blows didn’t frighten it away．“I was losing faith,”she says.
“A couple more strikes，Alexis，”said Michael．“You can do it．”Alexis closed her eyes and hit with all her strength at the deer’s neck with the hammer. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away．
A1exis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital in Franklin，hearing her dad’s breathing grow difficuIt and unsmooth as the blood from his wounded leg had flowed through the T—shirt he'd wrapped around it．In the backseat，Sue looked unconscious.
After doctors treated Sue and Michael，Sue tearfully thanked her rescuers．“ You expect aTeenage girl to get on the phone and call for help in such a situation, not to beat up a deershe says．
What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

How did Sue Panter probably feel at first when she saw the male deer?
A．Relaxed．    B．Frightened．    C．Excited．DQ Confused·
How did Alexis help Sue soon after she ran out of the car?

What was wrong with Michael after fighting with the deer?

What does Sue mean by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

It is pretty much a one-way street．While it may“be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world，there is very little traffic in the opposite direction．Pay has always been the biggest deterrent，as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job．For some industrial scientists，however, the attractions of academia（学术界）outweigh any financial considerations．
Helen Lee took a 70％cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge．Her main reason for returning to academia halfway was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions．Some areas of research have few chances of a commercial return，and Lee’s is one of them．
The powerful effect of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of an occupation．Guy Grant，now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge，spent two years working for a medicine company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher．He took a 30％salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities．
Higher up the ladder，where a pay cut is usually more significant，the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition（转换）to academia more attractive，according to Lee．Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not，such as how to build a multidisciplinary team，manage budgets and negotiate contracts（合同）．They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate，says Lee，perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development．“Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic occupation．So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent a11 their time on a narrow research project．”
The underlined word“deterrent”in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to something that

What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her j ob halfway?

Why did Guy Grant choose to work as a researcher at Cambridge?

What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?

When you feel sad，you may think that the feeling will last forever．H      ，feelings of sadness don’t usually last very long—a few momentsor maybe a day or two．But sometimes sad feelings can go        for along time，hurt deeply，and make      hard for you to enjoy thegood things about your life．Thisk      of sadness that lasts a lot longer is called depression．People of all      （年龄）can become depressed，i        kids．Depression brings down a person’s spirits and energy．It can affect       people think about themselves and their situation．If you think you have depression or you just have sadness that simply will not go away，sharing it      someone who cares  can help．There is always somebody to talk to when you are sad or depressed.
