     We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience,
by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
     We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place
in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is
passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it's not surprising that we depend on it in our
everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
     Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told
even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).
     Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't
show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn,
whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes
down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared.
Typically, the original message has changed.
     That's what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words
changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative
touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style. Yet those
who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be
restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,
unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to
challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.
1. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.
A. doing a medical experiment    
B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition    
D. doing scientific reasoning
2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. active learning
B. knowledge
C. communication    
D. passive learning
3. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.
A. a message may be changed when being passed on 
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Active learning is less important.
B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
C. Active learning occurs more frequently.
D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.

     The "aha moment"(顿悟时刻) for Arjun Nagendran came one recent afternoon while he was cleaning up the muddy paw prints, and his pet dog, Rocky, was tracking across the house "again".
    "Why not make shoes for dogs?" the 10-year-old boy thought. For most kids, the moment might have
ended right here.
But for Arjun and five of his classmates from Littleton School, an accidental idea proved
talent when they won first place at the first-ever Student Inventors Day at the Liberty Science Center in
Jersey City. The winning invention, "Green Paws"-an eco-friendly dog shoe made from bark, three leaves and recycled rubber-got the group a $1,000 prize, two television appearances and a shot at being the
next "As Seen on TV" hit product.
    More than 20 schools, most of them from New Jersey, gathered at the center to show their green
inventions. Each team had 10 minutes to introduce their inventions to the judges. In the end, the chief
judge Khubani announced that it was the Green Paws product that stood out, particularly because his
company had been looking into the very idea of how to keep paws clean.
    Pet products are usually popular sellers, he said, noting that his company has marked four new pet
inventions this year alone. And while his senior managers had put forward the idea of new paw wipes,
they had never thought of pet shoes, he said.
    "We thought about cleaning pets' paws, but we never thought about keeping them clean in the first
place." Khubani said after the event. "They actually have an idea that is marketable." The company will
begin conducting market research on Green Paws this week, he said. But Arjun and his team will have to
put off another day before they receive congratulations from their classmates.
1.What is the direct reason for Arjun's inventing "Green Paws"?
A. That his school inspired students to join in the invention competition
B. That Khubani's company invited him and his classmates to invent it
C. That his pet dog made the floor dirty with dirty paws
D. That his parents encouraged him to be a great inventor
2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph2 may mean ____________.
A. not all children are talented because of IQ
B. most children think twice before taking action
C. most children end their fresh ideas with actions
D. most children don't translate their ideas into action
3. What does the forth paragraph aim to tell us?
A. To prove Arjun's idea is marketable.
B. To praise Arjun's talent in invention.
C. To complain his employees are not creative.
D. To explain what is the "aha" moment.
4. Why will Khubani's company carry out market research on "Green Paws"?
A. They plan to give Arjun and his classmates more prizes
B. They hope to produce more "Paws" to make profits
C. They hope to ensure the fairness of the competition
D. They plan to find the carbon footprint of "Green Paws"

     It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不自在) when they are with their parents.
They say that their parents don't understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch
with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom
give their children a free hand.
     It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how
they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much
thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult
situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of
their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
     When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask
before you really start doing it.
     Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and
in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older
people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That's why young people want to
make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or
clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
     Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say "yes" to wha
t you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a
child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.
     If you plan to control your life, you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to
understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly
give you the right to do what you want to do.
1.        are to blame(受到责备)for the quarrels between parents and their children, according to
this article.
A. Parents                                      
B. Young people
C. Neither parents nor their children              
D. Both parents and their children
2. Young people like to have clothes, entertainment and music in their own way, because    .
A. they want to make their parents angry
B. they try to get their parents into trouble
C. they want to try on something new and look different from the older people
D. they know they are cleverer than the older people
3.  According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because      .
A. they don't feel they belong to the world of the older people
B. they do not want to get into trouble
C. they feel they are cleverer than the older people
D. they want to show they have grown up
4. If a young man plans to control his own life, it's better for him to        .
A. do everything according to his own wish
B. do everything with a high sense of responsibility
C. do everything under his parents' control
D. do everything the way his parents do

     A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to
improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for
our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
     First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible,
a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long
responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee
costs.
     Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each
person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very
fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra
to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
     In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be
financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(养老金). Furthermore, some
in-situations should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them.
Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The
government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the
young.
     One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places
especially for the elderly where they are independent.
      To sum up, all these options(选择) have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable
to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give
to our elderly generations.

1. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?

A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D. Increase the level of pensions.

2. The underlined word "viable" in the fourth paragraph most probably means "______".

A. impossible
B. practical
C. perfect
D. obvious

3. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this article?

A. To point out the need for government support for old people.
B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.

    Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people
are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.Personal
consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告).But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
    While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a
woman.
    Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and ability
were thought to account for their success.
    Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones;their
success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
    All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than
the attractive female executives.Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was
attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
    Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine
and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine
positio n appears to lack the"masculine"qualities required.
    This is true even in politics."When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women
differently, "says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on
political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of
men and one of women, in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of
candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for
them.
     The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had
been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.

1.The underlined word "liability"(in Para.1)most probably means "________".

A. misfortune  
B. instability
C. disadvantage  
D. burden

2. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness________.

A. reinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required
B. makes women look more honest and capable
C. is of primary importance to women
D. often enables women to succeed quickly

3. Bowman's experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness________.

A. turns out to be an obstacle to men
B. affects men and women alike
C. has as little effect on men as on women
D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women

4. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often________.

A. practical  
B.  prejudiced
C. oldfashioned  
D. pessimistic
