A's and B's were a kingdom I could never enter. Once my teacher, Miss Mills, gave me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought, "Wow! This time, I'm going to pass." The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was carpet. I wrote that one down: c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came neighbor — I wrote down the letter n. Then rhythm — I knew there was an r. Suburban — I wrote s-u-b. My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe a D minus. Where did the words go? Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life. I was an underachiever (未能充分发挥学习潜力者).   Now I know I have dyslexia(诵读困难症). A person with dyslexia might see the as teh, and bird as brid. My brain learns differently. A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently, I can still be filled with greatness. Today when I visit schools as an actor, director, and co-author of children's books, I tell children that everyone has something special inside.

Many colour-related phrases are common in our speech. Let's see where they came from. 　　•The Blues 　　The phrase is a short form of "blue devils", which also stands for sad feelings. This expression is also used to describe a type of jazz music that became popular in the south of America. 　　•Black Sheep of the Family 　　The phrase refers to a member of a family or a group who is unacceptable. In the old days, the black sheep were sold at a lower price than the white ones at the market, because their fleece(羊毛) could not be coloured. This made the black sheep an unwelcome member of the group. 　　•A Red-letter Day 　　A Red-letter Day is a day when something really exciting and memorable(值得纪念的) happens. It came from the practice of marking special western days, holidays, or other festivals in red on the calendar. Today, some calendars still use red numbers for special holidays, even weekends. 　　•Green with Envy 　　Writers such as Shakespeare in the 16th century used the colour green to stand for envy, but it was the Greeks who connected it with sickness caused by envy. When a person was full of envy, his or her body produced too much bile(胆汁), giving his or her skin a greenish colour. That is green with envy. 根据短文内容补全下面短文(每空一词)People use colours to express their feelings and describe the world. We often 1　　　　 many colour-related phrases in our speech. For example, the blues not only represents 2　　　　 but also refers to a type of popular jazz music. The expression black sheep of the family means an unwelcome member of a family or a group. In the past, it was impossible to colour the fleece of the black sheep, so the black sheep were 3　　　　 less money than the white ones at the market. A red-letter day came from the practice of marking a special day in red on the calendar when that day 4　　　　 remembering. Green with envy appeared because the Greeks believed that the colour green had 5　　　　 to do with sickness caused by envy. Later, writers began to use green for envy.

Jokingly, I said to the group, "What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones?" They laughed, and one of them said, "No way, Mr. White. That would be too much." I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset. According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parent drop-offs — they can't use their own "screens" at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day. It's clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That's why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days. During the course of the year,we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without "screens". For some teachers,this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is "out of date". Others have designed something completely new. Fun activities,for example,card games and room escape (密室逃脱)games,are organized at school. In these activities,students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on "likes" they've got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones. After our first screen-free day,students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important. While technology is already part of our world,it shouldn't play such an important role in a learner's life. 　　根据短文内容回答下列问题 1 How many hours do most students in the school spend on screens every day? ___________________________________________________________________ 2 Why have the teachers come up with the idea of screen-free days? ___________________________________________________________________ 3 What fun activities can the students have at school? ___________________________________________________________________ 4 How did the students feel after the first screen-free day? ___________________________________________________________________ 5新考法·创新性设问What do you think of the idea of screen-free days?

Today, some calendars still use red numbers for special holidays, even weekends"可知,"红色字母日"(重要纪念日)来自于在日历上用红色标记一个需要记住的特殊日子的惯常做法。注意此处应用过去式,即needed或required。 5 something　根据Green with Envy相关内容中的"Writers such as Shakespeare in the 16th century used the colour green to stand for envy, but it was the Greeks who connected it with sickness caused by envy"可知,空处表示"与……有关",应用"have something to do with"结构。 U2 拓展阅读 一、任务型阅读 　　【解题导语】　本文介绍了二月二龙抬头的一些相关信息,包含饮食、活动等习俗。 1C　上一句提到中国是一个有着悠久丰富历史的国家。顺承下来就是它有着很多丰富多彩的假日和节日。故选C,起承上启下的作用。 2D　上文提到龙文化是中国最受欢迎的文化之一,所以中国人称自己为"龙的传人",故选D。 3E　上文中的"people put ashes (灰烬)around their houses"与E项中的"with the help of the ashes"相呼应。 4A　根据上下文可知,空处与在二月二龙抬头那天吃的食物有关,故选A。 5F　下文提到人们在二月二龙抬头那一天剪头发,和F项相呼应。 二、任务型阅读 　　【解题导语】　本文介绍了学校的无屏幕日。 During the course of the year,we have built in  several   screen-free days (that require us to make different  plans for our students about how they will communicate with  one another and the world around them without "screens").  在这一年的课程期间,我们增加了几天无屏幕日,这要求我们为我们的学生制订不同的关于如何让他们在无"屏幕"时与他人及他们周围的世界交流的计划。 1 They spend about six hours on screens every day. 2 Because they want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. 3 They can have fun activities like card games and room escape games. 4 They were surprised they enjoyed it. 5 I think the idea of screen-free days is very good for students' eyes, because the screens are full of radiation.(答案合理即可) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
