         A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes. "Pay attention!" Teachers will often
    warn doodling students, sure that they must be daydreaming.
         However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps concentrate
    (集中)the attention:
         Andrade, a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture. Half the
    participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the
    lecture. The other half weren't given a task. After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the
    lecture.    
         Those given the doodling task (color in squares and circles) remembered 29 percent more information
    than the non-doodlers.Andrade said.  
         "If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull conversation, they may start daydream,"
    said Professor Andrade.
        "Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A  simple task,
    like doodling, can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task," he said.    
         So the next time you're doodling during a class, and you hear "pay attention", you can tell the teacher
    with confidence that you've been paying attention to every word.  
    1. The passage mainly tells us              .
    A. doodling will be banned(禁止) in classes  
    B. teachers are against doodling
    C. doodling may help concentrate

    A. doodlers are not good at study      
    B. doodlers are doing no task
    C. doodlers pay no attention in class  
    D. doodlers are not polite to them
    3. According to the text, it is helpful to doodle when               .
    A. a boring lecture is given           
    B. an interesting story is told
    C. watching a long TV program      
    D. having a conversation with the teacher
    4. Professor Andrade thinks                .
    A. those given the doodling task can remember less information
    B. if you have daydream during classes you'll have a good memory
    C. daydreaming is better than doodling
    D. doodling can stop us from daydreaming
    5. We can learn from the text that                .
    A. doodling is the best way to draw attention
    B. daydreaming is different from doodling
    C. doodling will be helpful in any occasion
    D. every student should doodle in class

         It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible (有责任的) for
    housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
         If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will
    regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never
    become totally independent.
         My daughter Mary's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students
    received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered (掌握) and declared
    firmly they could learn what they had missed.
         You can use the same way when you evaluate (评价) your child's work at home. Don't always scold
    and you should give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn't
    done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
         Learning is a process (过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children
    not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
    1. The whole passage deals with ________.
    A. social education
    B. school education  
    C. family education
    D. pre-school education
    2. The author thinks that ________.
    A. there is no way to get children to help at home
    B. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful children will become
    C. it is very difficult to make children responsible for housework
    D. children can be forced to help with housework
    3. The passage gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate your child's work at home.
        That is to ________.
    A. praise his success          
    B. promise him a trip
    C. give him a punishment      
    D. promise him a ball game
    4. The author advises readers to ________.
    A. learn from himself, for he has a good way of teaching
    B. take pride in Mary's fifth-grade teacher
    C. do as what Mary's teacher did in educating children
    D. follow Mary's example because she never fails in the test
    5.  Having read the last paragraph, we can conclude that           .
    A. pride goes before a fall      
    B. practice makes perfect
    C. no pains, no gains          
    D. failure is the mother of success

         Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and
    the best academic(学术的)system in the world.
         I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus(校园). Well, it's not even really a campus.
    It's more like a district in a small town.
         Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even
    say they're a little old. They don't fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by
    grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle(中世纪的城堡). But when I looked
    across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again.
    It creates a strong contrast(对比)and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
         Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: "You see this grass field in the center of the school?
    Here is where they host their graduation ceremony(毕业典礼). They just set up tents and benches and
    have a very simple ceremony." Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate
    on the lawn?
         I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the
    soft sound of pages turning, along with singing of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive
    feeling at all.
         Harvard has the world's first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end
    computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of
    tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.
         I hope one day I'll attend my dream school - Harvard.
    1. The article is mainly about        .  
    A. the author's campus life in Harvard
    B. the author's impression of Harvard
    C. Harvard's old buildings
    D. the academic system at Harvard
    2. The author was most impressed by        , according to the article.  
    A. Harvard's mix of tradition and new technology
    B. the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard
    C. Harvard students not taking their graduation ceremony seriously
    D. the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus
    3. What can we conclude from the article?  
    A. Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city.
    B. There are no competitions at Harvard University.
    C. Graduation ceremonies are not complex(复杂的)at Harvard.
    D. All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.
    4. According to the article, in which fields is Harvard top in the world?  
    A. Literature, arts, and law.
    B. Religion, law and arts.
    C. Literature, arts and computer science.
    D. Religion, computer science and literature.
    5. Which word can be used to describe the Harvard campus?  
    A. modern
    B. competitive   
    C. peaceful  
    D. old
