| It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. |
| 1. Why was the bike so important to the couple? |
| A. The man's job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life. |
| 2. We can infer from the text that _____. |
| A. the couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family |
| 3. How did people get to know the couple's problem? |
| A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From a stranger. |
| 4. What do the couple learn from their experience? |
| A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. |

| Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda (大熊猫) eats only one particular type of bamboo (竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly (蝴蝶) will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet (多样化饮 食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. |
| 1. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _____. |
| A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food |
| 2. Which of the following eats only one type of food? |
| A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird. C. The bear. D. The fox. |
| 3. Certain animals change their choice of food when _____. |
| A. the season changes B. the food color changes C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells |
| 4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____. |
| A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet |

| Our "Mommy and Me" time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. "I wish I could take one of my children out alone," said Christie. Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I'll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I'll take someone out. The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time. Christie's daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She's like a different child when there's no one else around," Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention. Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who's always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together. The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in a while. |
| 1. What is the text mainly about? |
| A. The experience of the only child being with mother. B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time. C. The happy life of two families. D. The basic needs of children. |
| 2. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____. |
| A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly |
| 3. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children? |
| A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often. C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking. |
| 4. The author seems to believe that _____. |
| A. having brothers and sisters is fun B. it's tiring to look after three children C. every child needs parents' full attention D. parents should watch others' children |

| Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录) of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education. Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education. Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing. Tyler became well-known nationality in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robert Hutchins. Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent (独立的) spirit in their work. Although Tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools. |
| 1. Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler's memoir? |
| A. Top managers. B. Language learners. C. Serious educators. D. Science organizations. |
| 2. The words "hooked oh teaching" underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean _____. |
| A. attracted to teaching B. tired of teaching C. satisfied with teaching D. unhappy about teaching |
| 3. Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for over 10 years? |
| A. The University of Chicago. B. Stanford University. C. Ohio State University. D. Nebraska University. |
