He was 6 if someone was hurt , and had kind words, and 7 to help in any way he could. It made me think… what if I tried to smile more? An 8 of sorts began when I went to a grocery store. I 9 as I went up and down the aisles (过道)... and people I didn't even 10 smiled back at me. Some even 11 ! The little kid in the cart who was giving his mother a 12 time saw me smile and stopped talking…and, you guessed it-he made a little 13 attempt at a smile.

| Pushy parents and teachers who"hothouse" the under-5s risk causing damage to the children's long term development, a leading education expert said. Lilian Katz, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating outstripped them four years later. The findings suggest that the government's structured approach to early years' learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6. In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States, France and Germany, and at 7 in Finland and Sweden. Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were"boring children to tears". Much academic teaching required children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context, she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions. "Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four-and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction." She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows, drawing or running a pretend shop in the classroom. |
| 1. According to the passage, those who "hothouse" the under-5s would probably ______. |
|
A. prefer a lot of interaction and stimulation while teaching |
| 2. What does the underlined word "outstripped" in Paragraph 2 mean? |
| A. did better than B. looked down upon C. caught up with D. performed worse than |
| 3. The message the author wants to deliver through the passage is that formal teaching ______. |
| A. can start at different times in different countries. B. should not be started too early C. is best carried out in Finland and Sweden D. should include teaching children social and manual skills |
| 4. Which of the following is NOT the opinion of Lilian Katz? |
| A. Children should be taught through first-hand experience. B. Learning in a mixed-age class is good for children. C. Running a shop can help children get good marks. D. Puppet shows and drawing are useful and easy in teaching children. |

| A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes, they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet. Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won't agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage young smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list. "The true fact of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young," said David Byrne, an EU health official. "Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes." The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warning included "smoking kills" and "smoking can lead to a slow and painful death." So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute. |
| 1. What would be the best title for the text? |
| A. New Ways to Stop Smoking. B. Pictures to Shock Smokers. C. New Packers of Cigarettes. D. Dangers of Smoking. |
| 2. We can learn from the test that _____. |
| A. The EU countries have put the new warning method into practice B. only a small number of the EU countries have used the new warning method C. the new warning method has worked in some EU countries D. countries in the EU still use the old warning method |
| 3. Which country is most successful in stopping smoking? |
| A. Ireland. B. Belgium. C. Canada. D. EU |
| 4. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that _____. |
| A. It's hard to stop smoking in EU B. deaths caused by smoking could have been avoided C. smoking is the biggest cause of deaths in EU D. EU has the largest number of deaths caused by smoking |

| With eerily (怪异地) clear and quiet skies across the entire length and breadth of the United Kingdom, the Icelandic volcanic eruption seems to create even more disruption and chaos. The major eruption from this massive volcano has halted almost 500,000 people a day who wanted to fly in and out of the UK due to all flights being suspended. The last time an event took place on such a large scale was roughly around two hundred years ago, but as aircraft were not a factor then it had almost no effects at all, and the last time domestic flights were delayed for any length of time was in the Second World War. A cloud of volcanic ash has risen 20,000 feet into the sky from a major eruption in Iceland which lies 700 miles north of the United Kingdom, so why would an event like this create so much fuss for Britons and parts of Europeans? Volcanic ash contains tiny particles of glass and sulphur (硫), which when sucked into an aircraft's jet engine can cause the engine to stop. This is the time when you can imagine a pretty catastrophic event to happen. Back in 1982 an incident involving a jet aircraft and volcanic ash did exactly that. The ash caused all engines to fail and it was only thanks to the skill of the pilot that everyone on board managed to survive. So the governing bodies of the airways have decided to cease all air traffic that could be affected by the cloud of volcanic ash as it is carried by a southward wind down from the north of Scotland across the entire length and breadth of the UK across the English Channel and over Europe. On land there have been statements that there is no danger to humans, but people with asthma and respiratory diseases should stay indoors. The Iceland volcano that has erupted is apparently not the only one that is worrying scientists, and there is another volcano which is the Mount Etna. So if it erupted anytime soon with the wind blowing south, an ash cloud from that one would cause long-term devastation (破坏) and disruption for a very long time. Fingers crossed, then. |
| 1. What time was it when domestic flights were suspended the last time due to volcanic eruption? |
| A. About 200 years ago. B. Back in 1982. C. During World War Two. D. In the 1950s. |
| 2. What does the writer try to do in the fourth paragraph? |
| A. To explain British people's concern about the eruption. B. To show that British people are very kind. C. To tell us what is contained in volcanic ash. D. To show the urgent demand for skilled pilots. |
| 3. Which of the following people would be affected by volcanic ash? |
| A. People with blood problems. B. People with heart trouble. C. People with headaches. D. People with breathing problems. |
| 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? |
| A. We humans should be ready for more volcanos. B. Another volcanic eruption is just going to take place soon. C. The Volcano of Mount Etna would be very destructive. D. Scientists can do nothing to stop volcanic eruptions. |

| Look closely at the palms of your hands and fingertips. See all the tiny lines? Each of us is born with a unique set of prints, but it may surprise you to learn why we have them. Palm lines are not for fortune-tellers to figure out how long we will live, nor are fingerprints there to make a policeman's job easier. In fact, the lines and circles that decorate our hands and feet are an evolutionary gift from nature, and they serve two important functions. Our prints are made of raised and lowered skin. The raised areas function somewhat like the tread (纹) of car tires or the rubber soles (胶底) of our running shoes. When we touch something that is wet, water moves from these "hills" into the "valleys", which means some surfaces on our skin remain relatively dry. This is useful, for it allows us to better grip the things we want to hold. Our prints help us hold on, but they also have a secondary function: protection. The raised areas serve as buffers (缓冲物) between our skin and an object, keeping us from getting hurt every time we grip the hard surface of a bottle or a baseball bat. This is the same reason why, when we walk too far or wear uncomfortable shoes, we get blisters on the soft skin of our ankles, but never on our heels, like our palms and fingers, which have prints to protect them. It is the random (任意的) flow of fluids inside our mothers' wombs that causes these useful patterns to form on the surface of our hands and feet. Because they are formed randomly, each person's prints are unique, which makes prints accidentally useful as a means of distinguishing between people. Even identical twins have different prints, which means that no mistakes can be made in determining who did a crime, provided fingerprints or toe prints were left at the scene. |
| 1. Where can't you find the tiny lines ____? |
| A. Palms B. Fingerprints C. Heels D. Ankles. |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? |
| A. The tiny lines are the results of evolution. B. From one's fingerprints, we can guess his character. C. Different people have different prints in their fingertips. D. The prints play an important role in our life. |
| 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? |
| A. Fingertips can help us hold on to things better. B. There are no prints on our heels. C. The prints can make our palm dry. D. Prints can protect us from getting hurt. |

Each cell is a little body living on its own. It moves, digests, grows, excretes (排泄) and reproduces. But, living as it does in a community of cells, it is not independent at all. The specialized cells of the body are dependent on each other for such things as nourishment and the removal of their waste matter. For example, if the digestive cells of the food canal do not perform their function properly, the muscle cells will not receive nourishment, or if the excreting cells don't take away poisonous waste, the cells of the body will be poisoned and die. Some cells of the body move, but not many. It is not necessary for the majority to move. 2. ( ) All the cells of the body need food. They receive their food from a fluid called lymph (淋巴), which permeates all the tissues and bathes the individual cells. The lymph circulates through the tissues, carrying food obtained into the food canal, the intestines (肠子). 3. ( ) All cells excrete waste matter. When the food has been used, the waste matter which the cells don't require is passed into the circulating lymph and thus carried away. It is taken to the cells of the organs which are specialized for removing waste matter from the body. 4. ( ) All the cells reproduce their own kind and grow. In performing their work cells become tired, worn out and die. If the tissue of the organ is to maintain its health, new cells are required to replace the old ones. The healthy cells accomplish this by splitting their bodies, so that one cell becomes two cells and the two cells four and so on. These cells are young and small, but still carry on the function of the organ. 5. ( ) It is plain, therefore, that each organ of the body must perform its work well if the other organs are to maintain their health. When they are all functioning well, the body is healthy. The individual is vigorous (强健的) and free from discomfort of any kind. When any organ fails to do its work, all the organs are liable to become affected; changes take place in their cells and their functions are disordered. Such changes give rise to sensations of sickness, pain, loss of strength, bad appetite, fever, and so on. The body is said to be diseased. |

| Sports and games do much good to our health. They can make us strongly and keep us fit. Especially they can be of very value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practices in exercising the body. Sports and games also very useful in character-training. They usually demand not only of physical skill and strength but also courage, discipline and teamwork. For boys and girls, which is learned on the playground often has a deep effect on their characters. If each of them learned to work for his team and not for him on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for good of his country, instead of for only his own benefit. ______________________________________________________________________________________ |
