| People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations which have two colors. A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these two days families get together to have parties at home, as well as in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued (珍爱) more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays. |
| 1. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? |
| A. Parents bring children B. Parents give love and care to children C. Parents educate children to be good persons. D. Parents pass away before children grow up |
| 2. What do you know from the passage? |
| A. Mother's Day and Father's Day are both in May. B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past C. Not all the children respect their parents D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home |
| 3. Which do you think is right about "carnation"? |
| A. It has only two kinds of colors. B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother's Day or Father's Day. C. It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes. D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May. |
| 4. What do you think "florists" do? |
| A. They sell flowers B. They made bread or pastry C. They offer enough room for having family parties. D. They sell special clothes for Mother's Day and Father's Day. |

| Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. |
| 1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _____. |
| A. listening to skilled people's advice B. asking older people many questions C. making mistakes and having them corrected D. doing what other people do |

| A. Give children correct answers. B. Allow children to make mistakes. C. Point out children's mistakes to them. D. Let children mark their own work. |
| 3. According to the writer, teachers in school should _____. |
| A. allow children to learn from each other B. point out children's mistakes whenever found C. correct children's mistakes as soon as possible D. give children more book knowledge |
| 4. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _____. |
| A. different from learning other skills B. the same as learning skills C. more important than other skills D. not really important skills |

| Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. |
| 1. The writer is in favor of the view that man's intelligence is given to him ______. |
| A. at birth B. through education C. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education |
| 2. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can ________. |
| A. become a genius B. still become a genius if he should be given special education C. not reach his intelligence in his life. D. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings |
| 3. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows________. |
| A. the importance of their intelligence B. the role of environment on intelligence C. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays |
| 4. The best title of the passage can be _______. |
| A. Surroundings B. Effect of education C. Dependence on Environment D. Intelligence |

| What is the color of the universe? Astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. They said that the universe would appear to the human eyes to be a light greenish color. Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, reported their finding in January. They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. They said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their more serious scientific research. They did it for fun. However, earlier this month, the scientists admitted making a mistake. They said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. They now say the light from our universe is closer to white. It is more like a milky or creamy white color. Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe the universe from far away. The scientists found the average color by combining light from about two-hundred-thousand star systems. Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia. The scientists gave a number value to the colors of the different star systems. Then they added the numbers together and found the average measurement. The scientists used this average to identify the color of the universe. They said it was a very pretty light green. Many newspapers and television stations reported their finding. Other scientists and color engineers attempted to reproduce the result. Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists. When the mistake was corrected, the results changed. The new color of the universe is much less colorful. It is very close to white. |
| 1. The color of the universe is _____. |
| A. close to white B. black C. blue D. light greenish |
| 2. The two scientists found the color of the universe by _____. |

| 3. Who found the true color of the universe? |
| A. Karl Glazebrook. B. Ivan Baldry. C. Mark Fairchild D. Johns Hopkins. |
| 4. This passage mainly tells us ______. |
| A. what the color of the universe is B. the light from our universe is a light greenish color C. the new color of the universe is much more colorful D. the finding of the color of the universe is difficult |
