经典句式
Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge.从初中过渡到高中确实是一项巨大的挑战。
句中作主语的是动名词短语Going from junior high school to senior high school。动名词短语作主语往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作，在口语中也可以表示具体的动作。动名词短语作主语时，谓语动词用单数。 (1)________________ my partner is my responsibility and I am ready to do it. 帮助我的搭档是我的责任，我也乐意做。
(2)_______________(work) with such a careless person is a challenge. 和这样粗心的人一起工作是个挑战。 [温馨提示]
下面句型中常用it作形式主语，把作主语的动名词短语放到句尾。 It’s no use/no good/fun/a waste of time doing... (3)It is no good telling lies to your teacher. 向老师撒谎是没有好处的。
I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year.我会找到一个让自己提高球技的方法，这样明年我就能加入球队了。
本句中连词so that引导目的状语从句，意为“为了……”，相当于“in order that”。此从句中常含有情态动词can，could，may，might等，目的状语从句之前不用逗号将其与主句隔开。 (1)He reads English every day ____________________ he can improve his spoken English. 他每天读英语，为的是提高自己的英语口语。
(2)Cathy quit her job ______________________________ she could stay home and raise her family. 凯西辞去了工作，以便她能够待在家里照顾家人。 [温馨提示]
※如果主从句主语一致，那么so that从句可以改为so as to do形式。 I shall write down your name so that I can keep in touch with you later on. →I shall write down your name so as to keep in touch with you later on.
※so that还可引导结果状语从句，此时从句中往往不带情态动词，可用逗号把主从句隔开。 He was often late for work，so that the boss asked him to leave the company. 他经常上班迟到，结果老板让他离开公司。 [句型转换]
(3)She arrived at the company early in order to make a good impression on her boss.
→She arrived at the company early ________________________________________________________.

My teacher，Mr August J．Bachmann，was the most impressive teacher I ever had.
I had gotten into trouble in his class：Another student had pushed me for fun，and I became angry and began to hit him.Mr Bachmann stopped the fight，but instead of sending me to the office，he sat me down and asked a simple question，“Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren’t you going to college？”
I didn’t know anything about colleges or scholarships.No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future.That day，instead of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me.At the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college.This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City，New Jersey.
Well,55 years have passed，and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me？I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29.I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to headmaster.
I’ve sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations.I’ve won a number of great educational awards.But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me？It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.
I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher.If I have saved any
children，it is because of him.If I have been a successful educator，it is because I had a great role model in Mr Bachmann. 4．The writer before Mr Bachmann talked to him. A．was an active boy B．was an aimless boy

It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day.Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn，grow，develop your strengths，free yourself from past regrets or hurts，and move forward older and wiser.Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself.It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.
Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper.How would you like to create your day？If you wake up in a negative mind，you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day，and your picture will not show hope，happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think actively，and have a positive plan for how you would like to create your day，how would your life be different？What can daily positive intentions do for you？Every day you will give yourself the gift of an “attitude of gratitude”．
Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way.You can experience each day in the beauty of the world—and the beauty of you who is in it! You find yourself changing from “I can’t” to “I can”．With a focus on positive intentions，you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “loser”．
You pay more attention to the present，and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day.After all，the past is a great place to visit，but you don’t want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive plan for the day?
8．The first paragraph mainly tells us . A．we should make every day a new start B．January 1st is the most important day
C．learning is helpful in reinventing ourselves D．we needn’t change ourselves at all
9．The underlined word “negative” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”． A．not clear B．not wise C．not happy D．not careful 10．If you have daily positive intentions，you will . A．get a positive result C．get gifts from others B．have a busy life D．be a complete loser 11．From the passage we can learn that . A．past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiser B．think actively and you will be a winner，not a loser C．the present is not where you should live for ever D．positive intentions for each day are of great help
