One more test before the final exam. One more __9__ to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time _10_ the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 11__ did no good and everything _ 12_ as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what ____ I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 14 goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 15 _ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have __16__ with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He 17__ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you 18 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him 19 that his analysis and strategy were correct. I had worked my head 20 , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景） in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
1. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ___________.
A. a very large park B. a busy London street
C. a famous movie company D. an old Hollywood movie
2. The movie industry in California isn’t as successful as before because _____________.
A. young people don’t go to movie theatres any more
B. there is strong competition from other states
C. its movie companies are in need of young stars
D. the state hasn’t put a development plan into action
3. The passage mainly tells us ______________.
A. something about the film industry in the USA
B. the importance of soap operas in Hollywood
C. the good old days of Hollywood
D. the film business in California

（四）书面表达
Nowadays, many middle school students can’t wash clothes for themselves. On the one hand, they are very lazy, and unwilling to learn how to wash clothes. On the other hand, their parents don’t let them learn how to wash clothes, because they want them to spend all their time on their study.
In my opinion, this kind of phenomenon isn’t normal. Besides learning subjects, children should also learn to do some housework, such as washing clothes, cleaning rooms, and so on. If not, they can’t live on their own after they begin to work.
So parents and children should realize that doing some housework is necessary and helpful. Besides, children should fight against their laziness and offer to do some housework.
What’s more, parents should encourage their children to do some housework in their free time. If so, children will learn more life experience and improve their study at the same time.
