“Hurry, Marcus!” Millie called to her brother. Marcus caught up just as the school bus arrived. The doors opened and they got their first look at the new bus driver, Mr. Cross. There was no smile on his face. He just nodded at them as they climbed the steps. Millie wondered if he ever smiled. “I miss our old driver,” she whispered.

The bus traveled two more blocks, then stopped in front of a house with no one in sight. “Hey, we don’t usually stop here,” whispered Millie. Mr. Cross opened the bus doors.

Millie waited to see who would get on, but nobody did. Still, Mr. Cross nodded his head, the   way he had when she and Marcus boarded the bus. Then he closed the doors.

“Did you see that?” Millie said. “He just opened the doors and nodded at someone, but nobody got on!” Marcus agreed. “That was strange.” The bus continued on the route, and the usual kids got on. Mr. Cross nodded at each one.

During school that day, Millie kept thinking back to what had happened that morning. It didn't make sense. At the end of the day, when she and Marcus got on the bus to go home, Marcus said, “I think I figured it out. He probably stopped to pick up a ghost kid!”

“A ghost kid?” Millie gulped (倒吸气).

“Maybe Mr. Cross can see ghosts,” Marcus said.

“No,” said Millie. “That’s silly.” But as they rode home, Millie thought about it. What else could it be? Why else would he open the doors?

The next two days, the same thing happened. The bus stopped and the doors opened. Smileless, Mr. Cross nodded, and the doors closed. Millie began to panic. This time she decided Marcus was right. “Who is this ghost kid? What if he’s sitting next to us?” They gathered courage to find out the truth.

On Friday morning, the bus stopped at that house again. Their hearts raced.

【推荐2】请阅读下列材料，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
材料1：各国对迟到时间容忍度的情况调查（单位：分钟）

Tolerance toward one’s lateness
材料2:

There are few habits as annoying as someone making us wait. However, some punctually- challenged people have no intention of offending anyone. They still want to keep friends, family and bosses happy. They are often painfully aware and ashamed of the damage their lateness could do to their relationships, reputations, careers and finances.

Johnson, a doctor in New York, says his reputation for being unpunctual can sometimes be caused by a misunderstanding of opinion. “A friend will ask me to come over, and he’ll say ‘come anytime from seven.’ But if I do turn up at eight or later, he will be annoyed.”

Joanna, a teacher in London, for whom the most distressing (令人苦恼的) thing is writing school reports, never makes the deadline for herself. “I always spend weeks carefully considering everything about the reports,” she says, “just for fear that any error arises.”

【写作内容】
1.用约30个单词为以上材料撰写概要；
2.用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：
(1)迟到带来的不良影响（至少两点）；
(2)给Johnson和Joanna提出你的建议，至少两条。

【推荐1】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The benefits of having a higher education are manifold (多样的) and range from financial to cultural and from common benefits to some unexpected surprises, below you will find a number of reasons which will help to serve as justification for a higher education.

For many high school students, it is hard to imagine what the long-term benefits of a college education might be. College is demanding; the work seems challenging, and meeting all new people seems overwhelming. However, what most young people do not realize is that there is a high likelihood at college that you will find new friends with similar interests and values. You may find yourself developing new interests by getting along with those who have completely different life experiences. An opportunity to get to know your professors can also be counted one of the benefits of having a college education. These intellectuals can be counted on to welcome questions and discussion from students. Therefore, one of the key benefits of a college education is the social bonds created and developed during this unique time in a person’s life.

Besides, the fact that you’ll be building a career for the rest of your life is reason enough to make time for a college education. Indeed, a clear benefit of a college education is that not only will it give you time to better know your likes and dislikes before entering the labor force, it will also enhance the likelihood of a more successful career for you. Many young people are uncertain about a career path at the start of college. This is a time of exploration, and taking the time to explore a variety of college majors is time well spent.

One more justification for higher education could be that it is the best way to enhance yourself in an all-round way. Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay for your personal advancement, because perhaps more than anything else, what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future. You never know where your talent could reach. So higher education can provide you with the chance to realize your personal value.

Therefore, never undervalue the benefits of entering a higher education, which surely will bring you something beyond expectation.

【推荐2】阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

The term “helicopter（直升机） parents” is a description of parents who are hovering(盘旋) over their children in a state of extreme concern. They always show up to solve their children’s problems, protect them from real or imagined harm, resolve stressful situations, offer advice and get them out of trouble, even if they behave wrongly. Although out of love and concern, it can have harmful effects on their children’s emotional development and future independence.

Children learn through their mistakes. But if you intervene(干涉，介入) at first sign of struggle and finish your child’s homework, he’ll miss out on valuable learning opportunities.

You’re sending him the message that he needs to be perfect and failure is not an option; otherwise you wouldn’t always take over from him.

By constantly rescuing your child from stressful situations, you’re sending him a message that you don’t believe he’s able to take care of himself. Children develop self-esteem(自尊) by learning how to complete challenges on their own. If you are always intervening, he will miss this vital stage in his growth. As a result, your child may lack the confidence necessary to do well in school, pursuing hobbies and interests, and developing friendships.

If you’re always taking care of everything for your child, it’ll be more difficult for him to become independent. As an adult, he might find it hard to take care of himself, because he has never developed coping skills to deal with life’s challenges. He might suffer from irrational(不理智的) fears, anxiety and depression, which could lead him to drop out of college or frequently change jobs, according to Dr Michele Borba. Instead of developing healthy relationships, he might seek a partner who will take care of or control him, as his parents did.

You can help your child become more independent by allowing him to complete tasks and challenges on his own without your intervention. Even if he fails at first, don’t interfere(干涉，干预) — encourage him to start again. Show that you have faith in his abilities to succeed without your help. Allow him to learn natural consequences（后果）. Even small things can help him become more independent— making his own bed, preparing his own lunch, shopping for his own clothes and doing homework without your help.
