26、I always tell students that there are no set rules for writing and they can write whatever they like. I don’t subscribe to the idea that all good stories must have, for example, an attention-drawing opening, a turning point and an extended metaphor (比喻). Combining these into writing doesn’t automatically mean a good story, and you will read wonderful writing that follows none of these rules. Pupils should be aware of what they are, of course, and why and where they might choose to use them, but it shouldn’t be always used.
There are two rules of writing that I encourage students to follow. These rules are: “show, don’t tell” and “all adverbs (副词) must die”. Not the most important rules, perhaps, but if kids can master them, their writing becomes much more powerful.
For “show, don’t tell”, I display a selection of sentences that tell the reader something and ask the pupils to rewrite them in a way that shows the same information. For example, “the man was angry” could become, “the man clenched his fists (紧握拳头) and hissed (发出嘶嘶声) beneath his breath”. It’s about unpacking the emotions and finding ways to let the readers see the story for themselves.
When teaching “all adverbs must die”, I focus on the importance of giving the power to the verb (动词). “I shouted loudly” becomes “I screamed”. Once pupils realize the potential in this, they quickly kill adverbs and load the power of the action onto the verb.
【1】The underlined phrase “subscribe to” in paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “_____”.
A.accept
B.expand
C.choose
D.deny
【2】The two rules recommended by the author _____.
A.can unpack readers’ emotions
B.can display the same information
C.can help write more powerful articles
D.can become the most important rules
【3】Which of the following does the author most probably agree with?
A.Giving power to adverbs is the most useful rule.
B.Wonderful writing follows some set rules.
C.Descriptive words should never be used.
D.Students can write whatever they like.

28、Don’t we all hope to understand one another better? How can you get a good idea of what kind of person your new friend is? The people around us can give a lot of information about themselves without even knowing it. They express it in the little things that they do. 【1】. So here are four small things that can tell you a lot about a person.
1. Their body language.
Interpreting someone’s body language can be a powerful tool in helping you understand their personality, attitudes and feelings. For example, facial cues like smiling convey happiness, and biting at your lip means you’re worried or anxious, clenched fists indicate anger or frustration, crossed arms are a sign of defensiveness. 【2】.
2. The way they dress.
Another great way you can learn a lot about a person without ever talking to them is by observing the way they dress. 【3】. People wearing colorful clothes and fun patterns are usually creative and artistic types who want to express themselves through their fashion sense.
3. 【4】.
American author Dave Berry once said, a person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter is not a nice person. The way in which you treat people of lower social status than you or people who have nothing to offer you is a telling aspect of your character. When someone is rude or disrespectful to a stranger like a barista or a server, it shows that they’re superficial and over-privileged.
4. How they make eye contact.
Appropriate eye contact is a good way for someone to signal that they’re paying attention to you and that they’re interested in what you’re saying. 【5】. Shy people also have trouble looking at someone in the eye for too long, especially if they find the other person attractive or intimidating.
It is important that we know how to assess people so we can make better decisions about them. These tips can come in handy in the dating pool, making friends, job hiring and can help you make a good first impression.
A.The way they speak
B.How they treat strangers
C.All you have to do is observe carefully
D.This is actually an amazing thing in a conversation
E.However, those who often look away during a conversation may be uncomfortable or distracted
F.Generally speaking, those who dress casually are often easygoing people who value comfort over style
G.Learning how to better read others’ body language can go a long way in helping you understand what they are thinking even if they don’t say a word to you

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The science teacher, Mr. Moose, decided that the school would have a paper airplane contest. Each student would design a paper airplane. And then they would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane flew the farthest would win.
When Mr. Moose announced the paper airplane contest, all the students were very excited. Paul, who was on the wrestling team, said to other students: “I am the strongest. And I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.”
However, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. He did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.
Brian knew what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into the backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn't go very far, so Brian took another sheet and folded another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.
