I have been afraid of heights for as long as I can remember. When I was 11, my school built a leadership training center that had various challenges. The most 16 of the all was called “The Leap of Faith”, where you had to climb a 17 to a platform 1 meters high. Once there, you had to 18 the platform and reach out to grab a rope. I had seen students do it and had sworn there was no way I would ever 19 it.
One day my teacher asked me, “Are you going to try?” I 20 it off and told him that he couldn’t pay me to do it. 21 he encouraged me until finally I agreed to do it.
I climbed up and when I got to the top, I was in shock and couldn’t 22 . Seeing this, my teacher 23 that instead of jumping off the platform and grabbing the rope, I just 24 on the edge and then slide down. I sat down, but still couldn’t bring myself to slide off the 25 . I sat there for 20 minutes. Finally, with the 26 of my class, I slid down.
When I finally reached the ground, I heard two boys 27 me about it behind my back. So, I decided I wanted to 28 again.
Over the next two weeks, I did all sorts of things to 29 myself. I jumped off tables and did some high ropes stuff. One morning before school I went down to the 30 climbed to the top of the ladder, encouraged myself and then…I DID IT! I had never before felt so 31 of myself.
I 32 so much during that time. The most important thing was that sometimes situations are 33 , but that doesn’t make them impossible.

The silence was broken by the voice of a child. Out of the window, I saw my neighbor and her six-year-old daughter, Ayuni, playing in the park. Ayuni tried to climb the ladders of the slide again and again. Ayuni cried, shouted at her mother to help her, and then fell, but her mother told her to try again. Every time Ayuni fell off the ladder, her mother asked her to get up rather than helping her and wiping her tears.
I saw Ayuni shouting in anger, “You are the worst mother; I hate you!” But her mother listened to that quietly and patiently, and then she told her to try again. I was confused about why she was doing that. Even if she wanted Ayuni to learn to climb the ladders, she had to first help her by holding her and showing it practically to her. After all, Ayuni was too young to learn this based on verbal (口头的) instructions. Oh! I saw her mother trying to hide her tears as Ayuni fell for the 13th time! Then, I got curious to know what was going on!
Later, I noticed there was a letter that was addressed to my mother on the desk near the window. I saw the signature “Lavangi”, which is the name of the little girl’s mother. From the letter, I knew why she did that. Now, I extract the following from this letter: “Dear Manya, you’ve been like my elder sister and I’m emotionally attached to you so I decided to write this letter. I’ve been diagnosed with the last stage of cancer. I just want you to know that I love you.
You’ve been a great supporter during my difficult time. The last favor I need from you is to keep an eye on my daughter, little Ayuni...”
After I read the letter, my tears rolled down my cheeks and I realized Ayuni’s mother was trying to teach Ayuni a lesson that she must be strong enough to live without her and do things by herself in the future. I gazed out of the window and then closed my eyes praying for Ayuni. I wished everything would go well with her.
41.How did Ayuni’s mother respond to Ayuni’s request in the park?
A.She punished Ayuni.
B.She let Ayuni do all by herself.
C.She ignored it and criticized Ayuni.
D.She was impatient with Ayuni.
42.How did the author feel most probably seeing the scene in the park at first?
A.Touched. B.Relaxed. C.Puzzled. D.Delighted.
43.Who is Manya in the letter according to the text?
A.Ayuni’s grandmother. B.The author’s mother.
C.The author’s aunt. D.The author’s neighbor.
44.What did Ayuni’s mother expect her girl to learn through the incident?
A.To be tough and independent.
B.To be open-minded and ambitious.
C.To enjoy the pleasure of exploration.
D.To attach importance to physical exercise.
45.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To encourage people to help each other.
B.To share a story about a mother’s special love.
C.To illustrate the key to developing self-confidence.
D.To make us realize the importance of keeping healthy.
C
Animals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating. Whale song, wolf howls, frog cries — even the fast dance of the honeybee or the friendly waves of a dog’s tail — are among so many ways animals pass on information to each other and to other living things of the animal kingdom.
When it comes to hearing communication, not every member of a species is just alike. Animals in different places have often been sounding off in different dialects. For example, one study shows that blue whales produce different types of sounds depending on where they are from. Some bird species are the same way. And what about those birds that live on the border between territories (领地) of different songbirds? They are often able to communicate in a way accepted by each of their groups of neighbors.
Communication between different species can play important roles as well. One study shows that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) do not communicate by making sound, but their well-developed ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird). The two species have nothing in common except for the fact that they share a general habitat and enemies. So when an iguana hears a bird make a signal of danger for other birds, it probably knows to be watchful for arriving enemies, too.
However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe, many animals are now under fire. Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin. Studies have found that songbirds, too, suffer from noisy city surroundings. Some species have had to change their singing styles, producing songs that sound louder, in order to be heard above the noise. Their new voices usually lead to stranger and somewhat worse styles of singing that female birds find decidedly less sexy.
46.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?
A.Various dialects can also happen to the same animals.
B.Animals communicate with each other in different ways.
C.Different animals have different ways of communicating.
D.Animals from different places may make the same sound.
47.What can we learn about iguanas?
A.They communicate by singing.
B.They are born with poor hearing.
C.They often bring bad luck to humans.
D.They get along well with flycatchers.
48.By saying “many animals are now under fire”, the author means ________.
A.they refuse to communicate with others
B.they cannot communicate effectively
C.they are now in danger of dying out
D.they don’t make a sound any more
49.Due to noise pollution, songbirds ________.
A.find it hard to attract the opposite sex
B.produce more songs that sound sad
C.begin to communicate by dancing
D.can not find food easily any more
50.The author develops the passage mainly ________.
A.by raising questions
B.by following time order
C.by providing examples
D.by analyzing the data
D
Imagine two applicants are in a job interview: one expresses a great passion for the work, while the other points to family encouragement to pursue that field. Which applicant has a better chance of succeeding? Conventional wisdom suggests it would be the one who has a strong personal passion.
Passion is not a universally powerful basis of achievement, but the culture a person grew up in matters a lot. That means universities and companies that frequently rely on passion in candidates are pretermitting talented students and employees.
It seems that passion is a much stronger predictor of achievement in certain societies than others. “This leads to a blind spot among interviewers and is unfair to people from diverse backgrounds,” said Xingyu Li, the lead author of a new study. As a person coming from a collectivist (集体主义的) society, he knows exactly how people feel when they are rejected just because they are seemingly not as passionate as others. This research is novel for its using big data to compare a wider range of culturally diverse societies.
The researchers collected the data including scores from 1.2 million high school students across 59 countries. They found those who felt passionate about science, reading, or other subjects were more likely to be given better scores. This is quite true in individualist societies such as the United States and Australia, compared with collectivist countries such as China, Thailand, and Colombia, where the students felt that having family support for their interest was important.
Individualist countries regard the self as the source of motivation. For example, in the United States, doing well because of what others expect might seem to be evidence of a lack of potential. In collectivist societies, the self is inter-dependent, part of a web of relations, roles, and responsibilities. For instance, in the movie The Grandmaster, the legendary martial arts teacher Ip Man never said that he had a personal passion for kung fu. Rather, his drive to attain mastery came from the desire to live up to what his belt symbolized to his teacher and society.
The findings open up the possibility of designing educational interventions that don’t rely only on the western idea of cultivating (培育) passion. That helps better unlock the potential of our students and workforce.
51.Who is more likely to succeed in a job interview according to most employers?
A.Those who have a web of relations. B.Those who are familiar with the company.
C.Those who gain much family encouragement. D.Those who have great enthusiasm for the position.
52.What does the underlined word “pretermitting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Neglecting. B.Harvesting. C.Exploring. D.Defending.
53.What might be Xingyu Li’s team’s purpose of conducting the research?
A.To clarify the link between students’ passion and academic performance.
B.To encourage people to learn the cultures of different countries.
C.To win people from different cultural contexts more chances of admission
D.To show the importance of big data in culture-related studies at particular.
54.Who tends to regard family responsibility as a source of motivation?
A.An American. B.A Colombian. C.An Australian. D.A Canadian.
55.What does the author intend to illustrate in Paragraph 5?
A.The model of motivation varies from culture to culture.
B.The negative effects of societal expectations on individuals.
C.The role of self-realization matters in a person’s success and well-being.
D.The typical personality types in individualist countries and collectivist ones.
第二部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Computers, smartphones, and audio players are an essential part of students’ everyday lives. That means that whenever students are doing homework, they are going to be faced with the problem of using their devices for purposes other than learning. Instead of concentrating on one task, they are performing multiple tasks.
According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies. Students often get distracted by their phones or use their laptops for unauthorized activities. Often, students think that they are able to multitask effectively, without sacrificing their studies. However, the research shows that it is true in only 5% of all cases.
But why do teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel good. As the research indicates, the entertainment gained from secondary activities during studies makes learners feel better emotionally.
Watching TV or talking to your friends by email is pleasant and helps students fight boredom while doing homework or listening to a lecture they find boring. Another reason why students multitask is that they simply do not see the negative impact it has on their coursework. Teenagers often overrate their abilities. The seemingly tiny distractions, however, result in a constant need to switch focus and sort out information, injuring the brain by overuse and making the process inefficient.
However, the effects of multitasking are not entirely negative. The research conducted by HKU indicates that people who routinely multitask are able to use their senses in conjunction more easily. Other research also shows that multitasking has a positive effect on the ability to pass judgment and solve problems quickly and efficiently.
56.What does the research by Larry Rosen tell us? (No more than 12 words)
57.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unauthorized” in Paragraph 2? (No more than 3 words)
58.According to the text, why do teenagers multitask? (No more than 12 words)
59.Why are the effects of multitasking not entirely negative? (No more than 12 words)
60.Will you choose to multitask when doing homework? Why or why not? (No more than 25 words)

2.B
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:从月球上看,地球像一个彩色的球。A. Seeing;B. Seen;C.Having seen;D. Having been seen。分析句子可知,该句已有动词looks like,设空处应为非谓语动词,see和逻辑主语the earth之间为动宾关系,因此应用过去分词表被动。故选B项。
3.C
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:她被北京大学录取了,这让她的父母很高兴。分析句子结构可知,空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是空前整个句子,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故选C。
4.B
【详解】考查时态。句意:我们匆忙地去了旅馆,结果被告知没有房间,因为我们没有提前预订。本题考查动词book(预定)相关时态的否定式。A. didn't book一般过去时的否定式;B. hadn't booked过去完成时的否定式;C. hasn't booked现在完成时的否定式;D. weren't booking过去进行时的否定式。本句主句的时态为一般过去时,由句中的 in advance可知,“预定”的动作应发生在过去的过去,因而用过去完成时,又根据句意得知没有预定,故用否定式。故选B。

【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:让我高兴的是,我从成百上千的参加者中被选中参加开幕式。可以知道这里应该是被动语态,又因为被选中是过去发生的事情,这里只是对过去发生的事情的一般描述,故用一般过去式,故选A。
【点睛】本题旨在考查句子的时态和语态,要求学生明确地掌握各个时态的定义以及它们在时间上的划分段和用法,以及不同语态的用法。时态也是高考题的一个重点。辨明句子的时态,一是看句子中有没有明确表示时态的关键词,另一个方法就是结合句意判断动词的发生时间是在什么时候。

38.细节理解题。根据Linguistics(语言学) Olympiad部分“This olympiad is a competition in which high school students solve linguistic puzzles. (这个奥林匹克竞赛是高中生解决语言难题的竞赛。)”可知,在Linguistics Olympiad,学生们需要相互比赛。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者看到邻居带女儿Ayuni在公园玩耍,女儿在玩耍过程中不断摔倒,但是妈妈并没有帮她而总是告诉她再试一次。过后我才得知,因为邻居患有癌症即将离开,她在教女儿坚强独立。
41.细节理解题。根据第一段“Every time Ayuni fell off the ladder, her mother asked her to get up rather than helping her and wiping her tears. (每次Ayuni从梯子上摔下来,她的母亲都叫她站起来,而不是帮她擦眼泪)”可知,妈妈对Ayuni的要求所作出的反应是让她自己再试一次。故选B。
42.推理判断题。根据第二段“Then, I got curious to know what was going on! (然后,我很想知道发生了什么事)”可知,作者看到Ayuni及妈妈的行为,想知道发生了什么,由此可以推断出她的感受是“困惑”。故选C。
43.细节理解题。根据第三段“Later, I noticed there was a letter that was addressed to my mother on the desk near the window. I saw the signature “Lavangi”, which is the name of the little girl’s mother. (后来,我注意到靠近窗户的桌子上有一封写给我母亲的信。我看到了Lavangi的签名,这是小女孩母亲的名字)”可知,Manya是作者母亲的名字。故选B。
44.细节理解题。根据最后一段“After I read the letter, my tears rolled down my cheeks and I realized Ayuni’s mother was trying to teach Ayuni a lesson that she must be strong enough to live without her and do things by herself in the future. ( 看完信,我的眼泪顺着脸颊滚落下来,我意识到阿尤尼的母亲是想给阿尤尼上一课,她必须坚强起来,在没有她的情况下生活,自己做自己的事情)”可知,Ayuni的妈妈希望女儿从这件事中学到坚强和独立。故选A。
45.推理判断题。根据第一段“The silence was broken by the voice of a child. Out of the window, I saw my neighbor and her six-year-old daughter, Ayuni, playing in the park. Ayuni tried to climb the ladders of the slide again and again. Ayuni cried, shouted at her mother to help her, and then fell, but her mother told her to try again. Every time Ayuni fell off the ladder, her mother asked her to get up rather than helping her and wiping her tears. (寂静被一个孩子的声音打破了。透过窗户,我看到我的邻居和她六岁的女儿Ayuni在公园里玩耍。阿尤尼试着一次又一次地爬上滑梯的梯子。Ayuni哭了,对着妈妈喊救命,然后摔倒了,但是妈妈告诉她再试一次。每次Ayuni从梯子上摔下来,她的母亲都叫她站起来,而不是帮她擦眼泪)”以及最后一段“After I read the letter, my tears rolled down my cheeks and I realized Ayuni’s mother was trying to teach Ayuni a lesson that she must be strong enough to live without her and do things by herself in the future. (看完信,我的眼泪顺着脸颊滚落下来,我意识到Ayuni的母亲是想给阿尤尼上一课,她必须坚强起来,在没有她的情况下生活,自己做自己的事情)”可知,作者在文章开头讲述自己看到的邻居Ayuni和妈妈玩耍的故事,文章最后得知Ayuni的妈妈是因为患癌,所以想教会女儿独立和坚强。由此可以得知,作者写这篇文章的目的是要分享一个关于妈妈对女儿特别的爱的故事。故选B。
46.A 47.D 48.B 49.A 50.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动物之间也会交流,不管是同一种类动物内部还是不同种类动物之间都可能存在交流。
46.主旨大意题。根据第二段前两句“When it comes to hearing communication, not every member of a species is just alike. Animals in different places have often been sounding off in different dialects.(说到听觉交流,并非每个物种的成员都是一样的。不同地方的动物经常用不同的方言说话。)”可知,本段介绍即便是同物种直接也会存在方言。故选A。
47.推理判断题。根据第三段“One study shows that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) do not communicate by making sound, but their well-developed ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird). The two species have nothing in common except for the fact that they share a general habitat and enemies. So when an iguana hears a bird make a signal of danger for other birds, it probably knows to be watchful for arriving enemies, too.(一项研究表明,鬣蜥蜴并不通过发出声音来交流,但它们发育良好的耳朵帮助它们很好地听到捕蝇鸟(一种小型鸟类)的警告叫声。这两个物种除了共同的栖息地和天敌之外,没有任何共同之处。所以当鬣蜥蜴听到一只捕蝇鸟向其他捕蝇鸟发出危险的信号时,它也知道要警惕敌人的到来。)”可推断,这两种动物有共同天敌,故相处融洽。故选D。
48.词句猜测题。根据前一句“However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe,(然而,随着噪音污染在全球范围内成为一个严重的问题)”以及下文所举例子“Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin.(在过去的一个世纪里,航运的增加极大地影响了海洋盆地周围鲸鱼歌声的传播。)”可知,噪音污染已经严重影响了动物之间有效的交流。所以many animals are now under fire意为“它们无法有效交流”之意。故选B。
49.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some species have had to change their singing styles, producing songs that sound louder, in order to be heard above the noise. Their new voices usually lead to stranger and somewhat worse styles of singing that female birds find decidedly less sexy.(一些物种不得不改变它们的唱歌方式,发出更响亮的声音,以便在噪音中被听到。它们的新声音通常会导致更陌生和更糟糕的歌唱风格,雌鸟肯定会觉得不那么性感。)”可知,由于噪音污染,雄鸟很难吸引雌鸟。故选A。
50.推理判断题。根据文章内容,每一段都是先提出一个现象,然后再举例子来证明或说明这个现象,所以作者主要通过举例子来写文章。故选C。
51.D 52.A 53.C 54.B 55.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。学校和公司常常把申请人的激情作为评判依据,但这对来自不同文化背景的人来说是不公平的。西方国家认为自我是动力来源,而集体主义国家则认为自我是关系网、角色网和责任网中的一部分。了解这一点有助于更好地释放学生和员工的潜力。
51.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Which applicant has a better chance of succeeding? Conventional wisdom suggests it would be the one who has a strong personal passion.(哪位申请人成功的几率更大?传统观点认为,这将是那个有强烈个人激情的人。)”可推知,大多数雇主都倾向于选择对岗位有极大激情的人。故选D。
52.词义猜测题。根据画线词前一句“Passion is not a universally powerful basis of achievement, but the culture a person grew up in matters a lot.(激情并不是成就的普遍有力基础,但一个人成长的文化很重要。)”可知,文章指出激情并不是取得成就的普遍基础,成长文化也很重要,意在表明不赞成只依赖激情就做出选择的行为,画线词所在句是对前句的进一步解释说明。根据“universities and companies that frequently rely on passion in candidates”和“talented students and employees”可推测出,这里表示的是频繁信赖申请人激情的大学和公司会忽视有才华的学生和员工,pretermitting表示“忽视”,与neglecting(忽视)意思相近。故选A。
53.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘This leads to a blind spot among interviewers and is unfair to people from diverse backgrounds,’ said Xingyu Li, the lead author of a new study. As a person coming from a collectivist (集体主义的) society, he knows exactly how people feel when they are rejected just because they are seemingly not as passionate as others.(一项新研究的主要作者李兴宇说:‘这导致了面试官的盲点,对来自不同背景的人来说是不公平的。’作为一个来自集体主义社会的人,他非常清楚当人们因为看起来没有其他人那么有激情而被拒绝时的感受。)”可知,李兴宇认为只依靠激情就做出判断对来自不同背景的申请人来说不公平,他本人也来自集体主义社会,非常了解人们因为看起来缺乏激情而被拒绝录用的感受,由此可推测出,他进行这项研究的目的是为来自不同文化背景的人们争取更多录用机会。故选C。
54.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This is quite true in individualist societies such as the United States and Australia, compared with collectivist countries such as China, Thailand, and Colombia, where the students felt that having family support for their interest was important.(与中国、泰国和哥伦比亚等集体主义国家相比,美国和澳大利亚等个人主义社会的情况更是如此,在这些集体主义国家,学生们认为家庭支持对他们的兴趣很重要。)”和第五段中的“In collectivist societies, the self is inter-dependent, part of a web of relations, roles, and responsibilities.(在集体主义社会中,自我是相互依存的,是关系网、角色网和责任网的一部分。)”可知,中国、泰国和哥伦比亚都是集体主义国家,这些国家的人重视家庭支持,认为自我是关系网、角色网和责任网的一部分。由此可推测出,四个选项中哥伦比亚人会将家庭责任视为动力来源。故选B。
55.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Individualist countries regard the self as the source of motivation.(个人主义国家把自我视为动力的源泉。)”和“In collectivist societies, the self is inter-dependent, part of a web of relations, roles, and responsibilities.(在集体主义社会中,自我是相互依存的,是关系网、角色网和责任网的一部分。)”以及举例可知,本段主要讲述了不同文化中动力来源的不同。故选A。
56.Students spend up to 45% of their homework time on multitasking. 57.Unlicensed/ without official permission. 58.Because they feel good and not aware of the negative impact. 59.Having a positive effect on passing judgment and solving problems. 60.No. Because multitasking will make it difficult for me to concentrate and efficiently completing my homework within the time limit.
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要说明了通常情况下多任务会导致学生分心,以及学生选择多任务的原因。
56.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies.(根据Larry Rosen发表在《计算机与人文科学》杂志上的研究,学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。)”可知,其研究告诉我们,学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。故答案为Students spend up to 45% of their homework time on multitasking.
57.考查词句猜测。根据划线单词上一句“According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies.(根据Larry Rosen发表在《计算机与人文科学》杂志上的研究,学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。)”以及“Students often get distracted by their phones(学生们经常被手机分散注意力)”可推断,学生们经常用笔记本电脑做不被许可的事情。所以unauthorized为“未经允许的”之意。故答案为Unlicensed/ without official permission.
58.考查推理判断。根据文章第三段“But why do teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel good.(但是为什么青少年会一心多用呢?答案很简单:多任务处理让我们感觉良好。)”以及第四段“Another reason why students multitask is that they simply do not see the negative impact it has on their coursework.(学生多任务的另一个原因是他们根本没有看到它对他们的课程的负面影响。)”可知,学生会进行多任务处理的原因是因为那让他们感觉良好,同时忽视了多任务对自己课程的负面影响。故答案为Because they feel good and not aware of the negative impact.
59.考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“However, the effects of multitasking are not entirely negative. The research conducted by HKU indicates that people who routinely multitask are able to use their senses in conjunction more easily. Other research also shows that multitasking has a positive effect on the ability to pass judgment and solve problems quickly and efficiently.(然而,多任务处理的影响并不完全是负面的。香港大学进行的这项研究表明,经常处理多项任务的人更容易运用他们的感官。其他研究也表明,多任务处理对快速有效地做出判断和解决问题的能力有积极影响。)”可知,研究表明,经常进行多任务处理的人更容易运用他们的感官而且也能更快速有效地做出判断和解决问题,即对判断和解决问题有积极的影响。故答案为Having a positive effect on passing judgment and solving problems.
60.开放题。要求考生,考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为No. Because multitasking will make it difficult for me to concentrate and efficiently completing my homework within the time limit.
61.Hello, everyone! My name is Li Hua. Nowadays, people care more about our grades. In fact, good behavior is as important as good grades. However, some bad behavior can be seen around us. For example, some students throw rubbish everywhere, which makes the environment worse and worse. What’s more, some students are always shouting back angrily to their parents, for which the relations between them have become difficult gradually.
How can we behave well? To begin with, I think we should be polite and kind to others. Be ready to help others in need. In addition, try to be honest and keep promises. Last but not least, as students, we should keep in mind that following the rules at school or in public are of great importance.
Let’s pull together and take action from now on. I believe we’ll be better students as long as we behave ourselves.
That’s all. Thanks for listening!
