| A Teacher's Lesson When Mrs. Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible, because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers. One day Mrs. Thompson was reviewing each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh...he is a joy to be around." His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a serious illness and life at home must be a struggle." His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken." Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school." By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone(人造钻石) necklace with some of the stones missing. But she stopped the children's laughter when she said aloud how pretty the necklace was and put it on. Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you looked just like my Mom used to." After the children left she cried. From that very day, Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one her "teacher's pets." |

| People are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing property that is environmentally responsible is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are being designed with a green focus in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia is one of them. If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a self sufficient community along the harbour front of British Columbia's capital city. The community will be home to 2500 people and will consist of residential, office, and retail space. Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation(通风), and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-poisonous. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it grows fast and does not require pesticides(杀虫剂) to grow. Energy efficiency is one of the top concerns in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy efficient appliances and light fixtures(照明设备) reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Residents will have individual water metres as studies show that people use around 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing(冲洗) toilets. Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions(排放). Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of a mini transportation system and buy into the community's car share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels (化石燃料). Dockside residents will benefit from excellent local services with high quality healthcare, shopping and education at the heart of the community, along with excellent recreation facilities and plentiful green open spaces. The Eco-Community will favour the use of locally-sourced goods and services; they will be desirable places to live, promoting a tangible(看得见的) sense of civic pride, responsibility and, as the name suggests, community. |
| 1. Which of the following is TRUE about Dockside Green according to the passage? |
| A. It is an environmental charity aiming at reducing carbon footprint. B. It is a self sufficient community with a population of 2500 people. C. It is being built along the harbor front that is threatened by pollution. D. It emphasizes the importance of green energy and energy efficiency. |
| 2. Bamboo is a favorable choice for builders because it _________. |
| A. provides good air circulation B. keeps pets outside the house C. grows quickly and easily D. does not produce any waste |
| 3. Which is NOT one of the issues Dockside Green hope to address in the future? |
| A. Convincing local factories not to pollute the air. B. Creating an alternative to fossil fuels heating. C. Having people pay for individual household usage. D. Promoting the car share program to the residents. |
| 4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? |
| A. Ways to Reduce Carbon Footprint B. Green Energy: New Trends in Canada C. Eco-Communities: Dockside Green D. Wise Investment in Eco-Communities |

| When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics(道德标准) to its employees, it faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies. Yahoo employs nearly 14,000 people at 25 sites worldwide. They would feel bored at sitting down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do. So it hired a company calledThe Network <> to design a game. In the game, the truck where Yahoo was founded traveled the world, turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as it visited some of Yahoo's foreign offices. Participants play in game show-like scenarios(场景) that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly. And employees note: Yahoo is tracking how well they do. Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods. They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs), involving both interactive and real-world elements. Besides teaching employees, ARGs have also been used in many areas for a number of different purposes. From a marketing perspective, a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to build product awareness. A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the 2004 video game Halo 2 <>. At its height, I Love Bees received between two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months. ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn. They have also been used to solve real world problems. An ARG called World Without Oil <> was created to obtain collective input from players about dealing with the world's dependency on oil. World without Oil simulates(模拟) the first 32 days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis. World Without Oil's success on a small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change, education reform, governmental policy and other timely, vital issues. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) |
| 1.What challenge did yahoo face in teaching ethics to its employees? 2.In the game designed for yahoo, participants had to answer questions about ________. 3.What are the three major functions of ARG mentioned in the passage? 4.The success of World Without Oil <> suggests that ARGs can ________. |
