21、Orange Unified School District
Quick Reference Guide for Lockdowns
This information is provided as a guideline for actions in the event of a lockdown. Always remember that the first priority is the safety and protection of life.
Lockdowns
A lockdown is the act of keeping students and personnel in a secured location until an emergency or threat is over. You may be required to lockdown your room or facility when a dangerous person or situation is present on or near your site.
Activating a Lockdown:
● A lockdown may be ordered by a principal, site administrator or Student & Community Services (SCS).
● Staff should direct students inside to the nearest room. Do a verbal and visual sweep as you lockdown to get everyone inside.
● If possible, report your attendance, including any extra people in your room, to the office.
● Staff should lock all doors and windows leading to your room. Close all window coverings.
● All students and staff should remain away from doors and windows. If you hear gunfire or someone trying to enter your room, instruct all students and staff to “Drop, Cover and Hold” under desks.
● Under no circumstances will students or staff open a door or window once it has been secured until the lockdown is officially over. When the lockdown is over the “All Clear signal will sound.”
Deactivating a Lockdown:
● A lockdown will be deactivated by the site administrator or Student & Community Services with an “All Clear” signal (which may be an announcement, bell signal etc., to be determined by site administrator).
● All students and staff should return to their assigned rooms or workstations. Staff should account for all students and inform the principal or site administrator of anybody missing.
● The site administrator will assign staff to walk the campus or workplace to ensure that everyone is aware of the deactivation.

22、Everyone “talks” with their hands at least sometimes. Some people’s hand-talking, or gesturing (手势) matches their messages well. Other people like to make gestures that can be confusing. And still others don’t use their hands much at all. No matter which group you are in, it’s important to pay attention to your hand gestures while you are communicating. And also remember hand gestures can have cultural meanings.
A few years ago, I was a speaker at a conference in Lisbon, Portugal. It was my first time in Portugal, and I became immediately fond of the special pastries (糕点) that Lisbon and Portugal are known for. One morning I went into a bakery and ordered two of the pastries. I did so by holding up two fingers, similar to the “victory” or “peace” gesture in the United States. The person behind the counter put three pastries in the box. I later learned that the gesture for two would raise thumb and index finger. Even though my thumb wasn’t showing, the person behind the counter thought I was signaling for three.
I was lucky that I didn’t get into more trouble than an extra pastry. Many hand gestures are not universal. Before speaking in a country that you are not familiar with, do some research to find out which gestures might be misunderstood, not understood at all or rude.
【1】Why did the author go to Lisbon, Portugal? ______
A.To taste pastries.
B.To take a holiday.
C.To attend a meeting.
D.To learn Portuguese culture.
【2】Which was the gesture the author made in bakery? ______
A.
B.
C.
D.
【3】What does the underlined word “universal” refer to? ______
A.Normal.
B.Independent.
C.Common.
D.Complex.
【4】What can we learn from the author’s experience? ______
A.One should be careful when ordering food in Portugal.
B.Hand gestures may have different meanings in different cultures.
C.The person behind the counter understood the author’s gesture.
D.The person behind the counter cheated the author.
【5】The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ______.
A.tell us that hand gestures are not the same worldwide
B.explain the general use of gestures
C.ask us to use correct hand gestures in Portugal
D.share a funny story in Portugal
23、What impresses you most when you think back to your years at university? For me, it is my first Greek philosophy class from Dr. Degenaar at Stellenbosch University.
Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own definition of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought—it was an almost literally mind-blowing experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.
Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year. I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy, but I remember little of that history and absolutely nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.
I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Like the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement of us all in a process of mutual (共同的) discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the important issues of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.
Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to think. Compliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.
In contrast, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it.
【1】What did the author think of his first Greek philosophy class?
A.Boring.
B.Amazing.
C.Confusing.
D.Challenging.
【2】Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers?
A.To prove Dr. Degenaar’s devotion to his career.
B.To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.
C.To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.
D.To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.
【3】How does experiential learning differ from traditional learning?
A.It combines theory with practice.
B.It has no limit on learning places.
C.It encourages independent thinking.
D.It focuses more on the result of learning.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce his respected teachers.
B.To share his favorite university lesson.
C.To explain the factors of experiential learning.
D.To recommend an effective learning approach.
24、Thirteen-year-old American Jessica Goldstone wants to be a fashion designer when she finishes school. She thinks her designs would be more exciting than clothes bought from stores. But until this month, Jessica has never touched a sewing machine(缝纫机).
After her first class, Jessica and six other girls aged 9 to 13 said that sewing was fun, cool and challenging.
These students at Fabrics’ Sew Fun class show that the sewing machine is becoming popular again.
“There have been a lot of teens getting excited about sewing,” said a sewing company worker Donna Smith. “Some of them come from the Project Runway TV show,” she said. This TV show is an exciting weekly contest to make a great fashion designer. Every week one contestant (参赛者) fails the test and has to leave the contest.
The number of people who joined sewing class summer camps grew by 10 percent this year. That’s good news for companies that make sewing machines and publish sewing magazines. The Singer Sewing Company sold nearly 3 million sewing machines in the United States last year. This is about twice as many as in 1999.
Sewing machines have been around for more than 150 years, but they have changed a lot since your grandmother was a girl.
Spencer Carmel started sewing lessons after getting a sewing machine for her 11th birthday. She has sewn a lot by hand, but she wants to make more difficult things. Spencer’s class recently made hats.
Another member of the class, Kelsey Oen, 9 years old, needed time to get used to her machine, but soon she could use it well. By the end of the class, Kelsey was happy and wearing her new hat.
【1】The passage is written to ________.
A. teach how to sew clothes

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“It would be so easy to just take it," I said to myself. "After all, she shouldn't have left it lying around in the first place. " The object of my temptation was a purse which sat at the end of the canteen table at which I was having my lunch. A personalized key chain attached to it revealed that the wallet belonged to my classmate, Elizabeth. Elizabeth was from an extremely wealthy family background, and often carried around designer goods and accessories in school. However, she was also careless, and the fact that she had forgotten her wallet and left it lying around during recess was proof of that.
I often envied Elizabeth’s privileged position. I came from a less advantaged family background, and had to spend hours after school working at a greasy fast - food restaurant near my house to make ends meet. My parents worked long hours and earned small salaries that were barely enough to get on by. Finances were generally so tight in my household that my earnings from work constituted the only source of money for my daily allowance.
The wallet before me was fat with bills and coins. I knew I should return it, but nobody would be any the wiser if I were to just take it and slip it discreetly into my pocket. There had to be at least a hundred dollars inside. I would not have to worry about my allowance for the entire month, and could even fork out a few tens of dollars for my little sister. She was frail for her age and was currently down with the flu. Medical bills were expensive and hence we tried not to go to the doctor unless it was strictly necessary. However, if I had the money, I could afford the luxury of getting her well-looked after.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。

Yet my conscience stopped me from taking the purse.

Concluding my internal conflict, I picked up the heavy little purse and got up from the table.
