北京101中学2020届上学期初中九年级开学摸底考试英语试卷
During my second year at the city college. I was told that the education department was offering a "free" course (课程) called Thinking Chess for three credits (学分). I jumped at the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to 1 a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't excited enough about free credits, news about our instructor was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster (大师), which 2 I would be learning from one of the game's best. I could hardly wait to him.
The instructor Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this meet was no game for him. He meant business. In his introduction, he made it job real that our credits would be hard—earned. In order to 3the class, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 4 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, finally to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 5 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 6.
Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he 7 me: The most important 8 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 9. On every single move you have to analyze (分析) a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and evaluate (评估) the best move from among all your choices, these words still ring true today in my 10 as a journalist.
Good Moments of Your Life
Bruce Kelly, a reporter interviewed some people and asked, "What are some of the good moments of your life?" Here are some of the answers.
"I always failed my English exams. But thanks to my teacher, Ms. Green, she helped me find the learning methods. I was taught to review what I learned every day. I was asked to finish grammar exercises as many as possible. Now I can always get high scores in English tests." Jack, 12 years old, from No.2 Middle School | |
"My parents always helped me decide everything. For example, they asked me to focus on my study instead of practicing my hobby - - - running. But I'm 14 years old! I should be allowed to make my OWN decisions! So last Friday I had a long talk with them. In the end, I won! Now I'm allowed to run and remain in the school team." Liu Yu, from Shandong | |
"I have lots of great moments. For one thing, I' ve traveled a lot. I lived in Italy a few years ago. Then after Italy, I went to America and worked with a team of volunteers. We were rebuilding homes after a major earthquake for two months. It was hard work but so worth doing. Life has been interesting so far." Alice,35,a high school teacher |
