Ⅱ. 完形填空(10 分)
My birthday was a few days ago. Now I’m 24 years old and I’m 16 with teaching. I didn’t
remember my birthday until the morning of the 1st. It was just like an ordinary day, no presents, no party, no
cake... When I was 17 , I always felt sad that almost nobody remembered my birthday, not even my
family. But now I don’t 18 any more, especially this year, from my birthday to next day, not much
19 . This month I have several foreign students 20 Chinese with me. I give lessons privately, so I
need to do quite a lot of work before each lesson. So far I’m getting more 21 in teaching foreigners
Chinese, and I think it’s a very cool job. When I was at 22 , I wanted to follow these native English
speakers. They can 23 to foreign countries and get teaching jobs easily almost anywhere even though
they’re not real teachers. I complained Chinese people didn’t have as many chances as people from the West. But
now things are 24 . As China is becoming stronger, Chinese is becoming more and more 25 and
maybe in the future I can get teaching jobs in foreign countries. I’ll study more and get ready.

Millions of children in the United States go to summer camps. Some go to play outdoors at traditional camps
in the woods, in the mountains or on lakes. But families now have many choices of special camps. These can be in
the middle of nature or a big city. Special camps offer young people the chance to learn about different subjects:
anything from space exploration to business to medicine.
In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how to use
computer programs to create games of their own. One program that teaches video game design is called
Cybercamps. Children can learn how to design their own virtual(实际上的) worlds to set their video game in.
Then, they program their own rules and objects into the game.
Cybercamps also offers courses in robot building and Web desig n. A recent story in the Washington Post
described how one child made a robot that could sing a song. Another made a robot that could follow a black line
drawn on a piece of cardboard. Also, children can learn how to make Web sites. One child made a site for
Pokemon, one of his favourite cartoon shows.

anyone can become better if he or she does his or her best. Here are some tips to help you.
★ Plan your time carefully. You should plan your time for things such as eating, sleeping and dressing. Then
make a good, regular time for studying. But don’t forget to set enough time for entertainment.

no radio and no television! When you sit down to study, you can put your heart into it. Make good use of your
time.
★ Listen to everything that the teacher says. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will
