DGEWOOD — Every morning at Dixie Heights High school, customers pour into a special experiment: the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.

Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.

By closing time at 9:20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.

“Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good,” Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after chatting with the teacher on the line.

The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.

Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.

Not that it was easy. Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?

Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.

The whole school has joined in to help.

Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the morning. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.

49. What is the text mainly about?

A. A best-selling coffee. B. A special educational program.

C. Government support for schools D. A new type of teacher-student relationship.

50. The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to .

A. raise money for school affairs B. do some research on nutrition

C. develop students’ practical skills D. supply teachers with drinks

51. How did Christy McKinley know Ms. Schatzman’s opinion of the chi tea?

A. She once met her in the shop. B. She heard her saying it with others.

C. She talked to her on the phone. D. She went to her office to deliver the tea.

52. We know from the text that Ginger Gray .

A. starts the guidelines for coffee shops B. sees that the drinks meet health standards

C. teaches at Dixie Heights High School D. manages the Dixie PIT program in Kenton County

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries — where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. Partly, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.

In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents

and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. The second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. The third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the taws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong for both wish to be considered an authority, and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to suppose that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

53. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?

A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.

C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.

54. What does the underlined part in Para. Two mean?

A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

55. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______.

A. give orders to the other B. know more than the other

C. gain respect from the other D. get the other to behave properly

56. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts. B. Examples of the parent-teen war.

C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems. D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.

American cities are similar to other cities around the world — American cities are changing, just as American society is changing. After World War Two, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increase. Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts (转移) to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents became wealthier. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs.

Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there, or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.

This population shifting is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.

Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again.[来源:Z|xx|k.Com]

A. older American cities were disappearing B. they got richer and needed more space.

C. cities only provided them with apartments D. they could hardly afford to live in the city.

59. According to the 3rd paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities .

A. are faced with housing problems B. are forced to move to the suburbs

C. want to sell their buildings D. need more money for daily expenses

60. We can conclude from the text that .

A. American cities are changing for the worse

B. people have different views on American cities

C. many people are now moving from American cities

D. the population is decreasing in older American cities

Christine was just a girl in one of my class in my teaching life. I never knew much about her except for that she was strange. She didn’t talk many. Her hair was black and purple, and she worn black sports shoes and a black sweater, although in the summer. She was, in fact, rather attractively, and she never seemed care what the others thought about her. Like the rest of my classmates, I didn’t really want to get closest to her. It was only when we did their chemistry project together that I begin to understand why Christine dressed the way she did

My dear classmates,

One possible version:

Nowadays it’s common for parents to bring much delicious food to their children at school.

Parents, teachers and students have different opinions. Many parents don’t think school food caters to their children’s taste. They think it their responsibility to satisfy their children’s needs. As for teachers, they understand what parents do for their children, yet the situation will bring about some problems, such as food safety.

We students should be grateful to our parents for their selfless love. Of course, with parents preparing delicious food and helping do all the washing, we can eat properly and have more time to study. However, if we are always under the protection of our parents, we can’t develop our own ability to live independently.

So I think we students should not only learn the book knowledge, but also learn to live independently, which will make a difference to our work and life in the future.
