篇一：和谐校园2
五队中学2008—2009学年度和谐校园创建
工作总结
为深入贯彻落实好县教育局关于构建和谐校园的实施意见，我校做到了坚持以人为本，以学生为主体，认真组织开展了丰富多彩的活动，促进了师生共同和谐发展，使和谐校园创建活动开展的扎实有效，现就前一时期创建工作汇报如下：
一、加强思想道德建设，师生素质文明
把思想道德建设与贯彻公民道德建设实施纲要结合起来，与未成年人思想道德建设结合起来，与学习先进典型结合起来，与社会主义荣辱观教育，与社会主义法律规范相协调、与中华民族传统美德相承接的社会主义思想道德观念有机地融合在一起，形成良好社会风尚，提高公民文明素质和社会文明程度。切实抓好党员干部的学习，促进领导干部以身作则、率先垂范，带动学校风气的好转。开展群众性文化娱乐活动，以丰富多彩的形式倡导和树立社会主义荣辱观，引导全体师生从身边做起，从自我做起，从点滴小事做起，扎扎实实地提高自身的思想道德素质。
（一）、政治理论学习
坚持用“三个代表”重要思想统领全局，采用各种行之有效的办法组织党员干部和全体教职工学习，做到学习与实践相结合。结合学校开展全面质量管理和提升工作。加强理论教育、加强教育教学培训，彰显服务性、特教性、使全体党员、干部和教职工胜任岗位职责所必备的专业知识和业务技能，帮助大家不断提高知识水平、业务本领和工作能力。
1、行政班子学习。学习制度健全，形式多样，内容丰富，学习效果良好。
2、教职工学习。有健全的教职工政治学习制度，做到时间、内容、人员“三落实”，。思想政治学习内容丰富，针对性强，学习形式多样生动，注重对教职工进行思想道德形势、任务、法制教育，每人撰写学习心得。在全体教师中开展各种学习交流活动，采用行政班子学习、教工大会、专家开设讲座、外出学习、组室研讨、观看录像等形式，丰富学习内容，为构建学习型单位提供有力保证。充分利用图书阅览室、宣传画廊、公示栏等阵地，宣传教师中的先进事迹和先进人物，教育全体教师不断提高师德水平，做到使学生满意、家长满意、社会满意。
（二）、师德建设
师德建设历来是学校工作计划中的一个部分。在大力倡导创建和谐校园的背景下，学校把师德建设提高到一个前所未有的重要位置，是有着非同寻常的重要意义的。师德师风建设是关系到教育工作成败的大事，是学校教育工作顺利进行的可靠保证，建设一支师德高尚、素质精良的教师队伍是提高教育教学、保障学校声誉的关键。
1、师德规范。为了提高教师的师德意识，建章立制，加强考评，认真研究和制订了针对性和操作性较强的师德考评机制，把师德行为表现与教师的岗位聘任，职称评聘，评优评先，表彰奖励，提高注重等结合起来，对考评不合格的教师实行一票否决制度，建立靠正面教育，靠制度约束，靠榜样引导，确保师德师风教育健康开展。
学校每学期结束对全体教师进行师德考核和师德自我评估制度，根据考核结果进行分析并和每位教师进行沟通交流，勉励其不断发挥自身优势，克服自身不足；在教工团队中广泛弘扬“爱心 耐心 诚心 恒心”的教育作用，在评选优秀
教师、职称晋级等工作中一贯坚持“师德一票否决制”；近几年来，从未有体罚和变相体罚学生的现象，在期末的满意率调查中，学生对教师的满意率也达到了90%以上。
2、师德师风。
全校近几年出现了讲沟通，讲协作、讲大局的良好态势；能以师德要求约束自己。学校也不断进行职业道德、家庭美德、教师基本素养、仪表仪态等方面的宣传教育。现在学校教职工有良好的社会形象；责任意识加强，我们要求老师在学校和社会都是遵守秩序和道德的模范。学校有自定的文明学生、文明组室评比制度、标准和活动，参与率100%，运行效果良好；弘扬先进，挖掘典型，开展不同形式的师德活动，在07年年底开展的师德师风调查中，学生的满意率达90%以上。近几年来未发现或收到有关教师违反师德反映信件。
（三）、学生德育及“两纲”教育
学校根据相关文件精神，使德育工作逐步达到科学化，制度化，规范化，坚持德育领先，树立全员育人意识。要求全员在工作中、岗位上确定德育目标，寓德育于各科教学之中，做到有机渗透，优化管理环节。以民族精神教育为主线，以日常行为养成教育为基础，以生活化、社会化为基本形式，着力提高我校学生的道德素养和个性心理品质，为学生的健康成长，主动发展奠定基础。
1、德育课程与学科德育。
为落实两纲教育，进一步推进主题性教育。学校政教处大力宣传民族精神，结合升旗仪式、团队活动、班会课以及学科教学等多种形式对学生进行民族精神教育。学校通过组织学生观看爱国主义影片、社会实践、专题报告、参观学习、等多种喜闻乐见的形式让学生亲自感受到祖国的强盛以及自己的责任感与使命感。学校还结合主题进行了校园环境建设、班级文化建设。一幅幅生动的版报，一个个振奋的标语，营造了校园浓浓的氛围。
2、行为规范。
根据学校、学生特点，从行为入手，以情感人，以情育人，培育致立学生“阳光”的面貌、规范的行为，全面开创素质教育、德育工作新局面。创设“和谐校园，温馨家园”式的阳光校园。以环境育人，无声胜有声。让墙壁说话；让花草传情；让“提示”伴随学生。同时打造“得才兼备，甘于奉献” 型的教师。推崇和要求教师，即心灵美，热爱学生；仪表美，文雅庄重；语言美，言传身教；行为美，为人师表。培育明礼、守法、自信的学生的阳。多种途径：如社区感恩、校园技能展示、家庭作业等；各类活动：如舞蹈表演、竞赛等，激发学生对生活的积极态度、养成良好的行为习惯、懂得礼貌待人心有感恩。
3、校风学风。学校学生干部从推荐到培训，再到“值勤员”“护绿员”等一系列学生干部队伍的形成，推动了学校良好校风、学风的形成和巩固。本学期开展的“星级教室创建”和“文明宿舍”评选，更是注重了师生对和谐环境的要求。
二、加强改进党的建设，核心作用显著
加强和改进党的建设，是保证党的路线方针政策全面反映人民的根本利益和时代发展的要求的具体体现，坚持党要管党、从严治党的方针，把思想建设、组织建设和作风建设有机结合起来，坚持和健全民主集中制，建设高素质的干部队伍，加强和改进党的作风建设，深入开展反腐败斗争。

（二）、党风廉政建设
基层党风廉政建设是党风廉政建设和反腐败工作的重要内容，加强基层党风廉政建设,对于巩固党的执政基础,提高党的执政能力,具有十分重要的意义。
1、廉洁教育。
充分发挥教师在开展廉洁教育中的引导和示范作用；加强制度建设，规范学校管理，营造廉洁教育的环境；加强学校领导班子思想政治建设和党风廉政建设，使学校党政领导干部坚定理想信念，树立廉洁自律风范，着力构建思想道德和党纪法规防线；加强校园文化建设，努力形成学校教育、家庭教育、社会教育在廉洁教育中的合力。
2、行风建设。
在全校师生的共同努力下，我们始终把教育行风作为促进教育事业发展的关键来抓，坚持以师德建设为核心，以治理教育乱收费为重点，以健全责任机制为保证，采取经常提醒、相互督促、部门把关、严明纪律，为学校的改革发展营造了良好环境。师生家长满意率达95%以上。

Entertainment in London
Buying Books
Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy "proper" books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being "the biggest bookshop in the world" to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books of philosophy, politics or any other of the various subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture off the busy and crowded roads, to Farringdon Road in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to barrows(推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce towards the sellers. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
Both Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road are well-known places of the book buyer. Yet all over London there are bookshops, in places not so well known, where the books are equally varied and exciting. It is in the sympathetic atmosphere of such shops that the loyal book buyer feels most at home. In these shops, even the life-long book-browser is frequently rewarded by the accidental discovery of previously unknown delights. One could, in fact, easily spend a lifetime exploring London's bookshops. There are many less pleasant ways of spending time!
Going to the Theatre
London is very rich in theatres: there are over forty in the West End alone--more than enough to ensure that there will always be at least two or three shows running to suit every kind taste, whether serious or lighthearted.
Some of them are specialist theatres. The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where the great opera singers of the world can be heard, is the home of opera and the Royal Ballet. The London Coliseum now houses the English National Opera Company, which encourages English singers in particular and performs most operas in English at popular prices.
Some theatres concentrate on the classics and serious drama, some on light comedy, some on musicals. Most theatres have a personality of their own, from the old, such as the Theatre Royal (also 1
called the "Haymarket") in the Haymarket, to the more modern such as the recently opened Baibican centre in the city. The National Theatre has three separate theatres in its new building by Waterloo Bridge. At the new Barbican centre the Royal Shakespeare Company has their London home—their other centre is at Stratford-on-Avon.
Most of the old London theatres are concentrated in a very small area, within a stone's throw of the Piccadilly and Leicester Square tube stations. As the evening performances normally begin either at seven-thirty or eight p. m., there is a kind of minor rush-hour between seven-fifteen and eight o'clock in this district. People stream out of the nearby tube stations, the pavements are crowded, and taxis and private cars maneuver into position as they drop theatre-goers outside the entrance to each theatre. There is another minor rush-hour when the performance finishes. The theatre in London is very popular and it is not always easy to get in to see a successful play.
Before World War Ⅱ, theatre performances began later and a visit to the theatre was a more formal occasion. Nowadays very few people "dress" for the theatre (that is, wear formal evening dress) except for first nights or an important performance. The times of performance were put forward during the war and have not been put back. The existing times make the question of eating a rather tricky problem: one has to have either early dinner or late supper. Many restaurants in "theatreland" ease the situation by catering specially for early or late dinners.
Television and the difficulty of financing plays have helped to close many theatres. But it seems that the worst of the situation is now over and that the theatre, after a period of decline, is about to pick up again. Although some quite large provincial towns do not have a professional theatre, there are others, such as Nottingham, Hull, Coventry or Newcastle, which have excellent companies and where a series of plays are performed during one season by a resident group of actors. Some towns such as Chichester or Edinburgh have theatres which give summer seasons. Even in small towns a number of theatres have been built in the last few years to cater for the local population.
Music in Britain
It is debatable whether the tastes of kings reflect those of their subjects. However, three English monarchs certainly shared their people's linking for music. Richard Ⅰ(1157-1199), the "Lionheart", composed songs that he sang with his musician, Blondel. It is said that when the king was a prisoner in Austria, Blondel found him by singing a song known only to him and the king, who took up the tune in the tower of the castle in which he was secretly imprisoned. Hey VⅢ (1491-1547), notorious for his six wives, was a skilled musician and some of his songs are still known and sung. Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and her husband, Prince Albert, delighted in singing ballads. The great composer and pianist Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was a welcome guest at their court, where he would accompany the Queen and the Prince when they sang.
The British love of music is often unfamiliar to foreigners, probably because there are few renowned British composers. The most famous is Hey Purcell (1658-1695), whose opera "Dido and Aeneas" is a classic. The rousing marching song "Lillibulero" attributed to Purcell, now used by BBC as an identification signal preceding Overseas Service news bulletins, was said to have "sung James Ⅱ out of three kingdoms" when he fled from Britain in 1688. Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) is known for his choral and orchestral works, some of which have been made more widely known by the famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), a composer with a very personal style, has become world-famous for such operatic works as "Peter Grimes" and "Billy Budd". Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) was deeply influenced by English folk music, as is shown by his variations on the old tune "Green-sleeves" (which most people consider a folk song). In recent years there has been a great revival of folk music, and groups specializing in its performance have sprung up all over Britain. This phenomenon has its roots in the work of Cecil Sharp (1859-1924), who collected folk songs and dances.
Present-day concern with music is shown by the existence of something like a hundred summer schools in music, which cater for all grades of musicians, from the mere beginner to the skilled performer. These schools, where a friendly atmosphere reigns, provide courses lasting from a weekend to three or four weeks, and cover a wide range, from medieval and classical music to 2
rock-and-roll and pop. There are also important musical festivals in towns such as Aldeburgh, Bath, and Cheltenham. Pop-music festivals draw thousands of people, especially young people. In the great cities there are resident world-famous orchestras and from all over the world great performers come to play or sing in Britain. In many towns there are brass bands, and the players are often such people as miners or members of the local fire brigade, for music in Britain is not just an elegant interest, it is above all democratic.

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
3
Education is a long process that not only provides us with basic skills such as literacy and numeracy, but is also essential in shaping our future lives. From the moment we enter small children, and as we progress through primary and secondary education, we are laying the foundation and work with those around us. And of course health education helps us to understand how we can
For most people, this process ends when they are in their mid-to-late teens. For others, however, it they will learn more useful skills such as computer literacy or basic business management. Others will eoll in a program of education at a university where, with hard work, they will have the opportunity to graduate after three or four years with a well-earned degree. After that, they may wor

But things are different now. The stock market bubble has burst and, despite signs of economic recovery. Wall Street seems to be sunk in gloom. A string of scandals at some of America's most high-flying firms--including Eon, Xerox. Tyco, Global Crossing and most recently, World Com has radically changed the public mood.
As political pressure for reform increases, so too does the heat on Mr Bush. Is the businessman's president really prepared to take business on and push hard for reform? Despite the set jaw and aggrieved tone in New York. Probably not. Mr. Bush thinks the current crisis stems from a few bad-apple chief executives rather than the system as a whole. Hence he focus on tough penalties for corrupt businessmen and his plea for higher ethical standards. The president announced the creation of a financial-crimes SWAT team, at the Justice Department to root out corporate fraud, and wants to double the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud from five to ten years. But he offered few concrete suggestions for systemic reform: little mention of changes to strengthen shareholders' rights, not even an endorsement of the Senate corporate-reform bill.
There are few signs yet that cleaning up corporate America is an issue that animates the voters. Polls show that Americans have little faith in their business leaders, but politicians do not seem to be suffering as a result. Mr. Bush's approval ratings have fallen from their sky-highs, but they are still very strong.
The president, therefore, need do no more than talk tough. This alone will convince ordinary Americans that he is on top of the issue. As the economy rebounds and public outage subsides, the clamor for change will be quieter. Democratic attacks will fizzle, and far-reaching reform bills will be watered down before they become law. Politically, the gamble makes sense. Unfortunately for American capitalism, a great opportunity will be missed.
57. We can infer from the third paragraph that Mr. Bush______.
A) didn't intend to take business on and push hard for reform
B) did not do anything at all for the presence of the current situation
C) took shareholders' right into account, but he didn't approve reform bill
D) took some measures to pave the way for the reform
58. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Bush had to offer concrete suggestions for reform as political pressure increase
B) At present, the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud is five year
C) It is laughable that M Bush publicly attacked America's corporate bosses
D) Americans have little faith in their business as well as political leaders
59. Which of the following statements about Mr. Bush is mentioned in this passage?
A) M Bush is the second President with an MBA in American history
B) M Bush contributes a lot to decade-long economic boom
C) M Bush's approval ratings are still high
D) M Bush didn't get support in his presidential campaign
60. The author's attitude towards the reform is______.
A) indifferent B) optimistic C) skeptical D) favorable
61. The phrase "a great opportunity" mentioned in the last paragraph refers to an opportunity to____.
A) carry out reform B) boom economy
C) animate the voters D) attack chief executive
Passage Two
