B School was always something I loved because I always enjoyed learning more.I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning，and I never tried to get out of any work.I stayed after school every chance I got.I did most of the work I could，got the best grades I could，and in the end，I graduated from high school with honors.All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me，pushed me，and made learning a fun thing to do. At the beginning of the school year ，I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings ，but Mrs.Trainer always sat with me ，talked with me ，and helped me feel OK without my mom.She was understanding，kind，and al-ways made the classroom a comfortable place.Mrs.Trainer also sat down and helped me learn；I was，and still，the worst speller，but she tried her best to help me. The second was my senior high school English teacher，Mr.Stonerock.Mr.Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun，especially when we had eight-page papers to hand in.Some of my favorite high school memories（记忆） were in his classes.Mr.Stonerock also taught my class APA format （格式） which to me is invaluable.I use it every day in my life.He put up with so many shenanigans（恶作剧）from my classmates and me and always did it with a smile. My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes，high school level classes，or primary level classes.I have had more influential teachers than I can count.I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers ，who give me life advice and guide me.Teachers are invaluable resources and no one can take their place. 高二英语试卷 第 3 页 共 13 页 （北京）股份有限公司 4.

C Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment — your cell phone or your wallet ？ Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner. In January，Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6，800 of its stores.This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S.，but we're likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication （NFC ） gets into America's consumer electronics.Last December some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public. Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe，NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal — a contact-free system built for speed and convenience.But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S. ，a few problems need to be worked out ，like who will get to collect the profitable trading fees.Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards，cell phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale （POS） market.Three big cell phone service providers have formed a joint companies that will 高二英语试卷 第 4 页 共 13 页 （北京）股份有限公司 go into 高二英语试卷 第 4 页 共 13 页 （北京）股份有限公司 operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is "to lead the U.S.payments industry from cards to mobile phones.
