Parents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling.
Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that a parent can take in order to increase their child's skills and overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a child's brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.
Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child's mental and physical health. It is recommended that parents teach their children two languages at once. Research suggests that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. Other studies state that three to four years of age is the perfect time. Clearly, any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child.
The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.
1.From the first paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids' various demands
B. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids
C. parents have more choices in offering education to their kids
D. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids' growth
2.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?
A. To train kids as early as possible.
B. To try as many means as possible.
C. To help kids develop as fully as possible.
D. To use as many available resources as possible.
3.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?
A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.
B. The effective ways to help develop children's brains.
C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children's health.
D. The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.
4.We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with ________.
A. inspirationB. introductionC. suggestionD. promotion

Today our class go to climb a mountain. This morning we set off to a mountain by buses. At about nine o’clock we arrived at the foot of the mountain and with the guidance of our teacher, he started climbing. Because at the half of the mountain some of us got tired, we all were very excited. When we got to the top, we cheered excitedly. Seeing from the top of it, the view is wonderful. Unfortunately, when we began to go down the mountain, we were catching in a storm. We shared umbrellas and raincoats each other and walked more cautious. At last we all reached the parking lot safely and got on the bus heading back to home.

An organization, Eye Care 4 Kids, is bringing much-needed eye care to poor kids. It provides free eye examinations for kids from poor families. Founded by Joseph Carbone in 2001, the organization has helped around 100,000 children in Utah and Nevada.
Now, Cecil Swyers, a biomedical(生物医学的) engineer who was once a poor child himself, is bringing the charity’s(慈善) services to poor students in Arizona, so that vision impairment(视力受损) doesn’t stand in the way of their education.
“Eye Care 4 Kids is bringing eye care and glasses to families that wouldn’t have the means to pay for them,” said Mario Ventura from Isaac Elementary School District, the first school district in Arizona to receive its services.
Good vision is important to a child’s learning experience. According to a study, up to 80 percent of learning happens through sight for children between 6 and 18 years old. Without proper eye care, it’s difficult for students to learn better and succeed.
Swyers is hoping that by bringing the organization to Arizona he’ll help a lot more students. He teamed up with two other organizations to get doctors to volunteer their time with the group. Using an Eye Care 4 Kids mobile clinic, Swyers visited Alta E. Butler Elementary School and has already helped 40 students.
The school was grateful to receive the eye care, especially since the services came to them. “It’s great for us,” said Assistant Principal Cindy Alonso.
Swyers is hoping to bring Eye Care 4 Kids’ services to other schools in the state. He said that hopefully his work will have a positive effect on students’ futures. “If we can help students while they’re young, we can make a difference in their futures,” he said.
1.Eye Care 4 Kids helps students by _______.
A. giving them sunglasses for free
B. offering money to their families
C. examining their eyes for free
D. solving their problems in study
2.Who is in charge of the organization’s services in Arizona?
A. Joseph Carbone.B. Cecil Swyers.
C. Mario Ventura.D. Cindy Alonso.
3.Where do students take an eye examination?
A. In the classroom.
B. In the mobile clinic.
C. In the nearby hospital.
D. In the places where students live.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Eye Care 4 Kids Was Founded by the Poor
B. Eye Care 4 Kids Develops at a Fast Speed
C. Eye Care 4 Kids Helps Poor Kids Succeed
D. Eye Care 4 Kids Fights for Better Education

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A. B. C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time — at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for The Penguin.
Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
1.By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ________.
A. people are cruel to animals
B. dolphins are friendly and clever
C. Jack is different from other dolphins
D. dolphins should be protected by law
2.Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ________.
A. live in groups B. have their own language
C. are warm-blooded D. have large brains
3.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?
A. Its mouth. B. Its ears.
C. Its nose. D. Its eyes.
4.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?
A. They wanted his help.
B. They enjoyed playing with him.
C. He was seriously wounded.
D. He was lonely and liked to be with people

For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso’s only company,visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread—the chimp’s only source of food on the tiny island.It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him,with his smile from ear to ear.

Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso,his mate and their two children standing.But at the end of 2013 they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项,并在答题卡(卷)上将该项涂黑,选项中有两项为多余选项。
1. Most students graduating from high school and college this year will probably have jobs in the next decade that don 't even exist today because the technology to support those positions hasn 't even been invented yet .The concepts of going to work ,having one career ,moving for a new job ,and wasting time or avoiding doing any work may soon be a distant memory as the world of work as we know it is replaced by a brave new world where few travel to their jobs,work a 9-to -5 day ,or sit in endless staff meetings
2. In the past it was difficult to measure employee performance, and hours of productivity were wasted. Now many job tasks are measurable with automated time and task tools and individual performance can be directly linked to a company's bottom-line results.
3. Project teams can be organized all over the world, and cheap communication and document sharing tools such as Skype and Google docs can be used to share information. In addition, for many jobs, where you live may have little relevance in the future; you could be competing against a global rather than a local talent pool.
4. More and more companies are organizing project teams and disbanding the teams once the work is completed.
While all this sounds pretty scary at first glance, work in the future may be more rewarding than ever. People will have more freedom and control over their work environment and schedule and earnings will be based more on merit (绩效)than location. While it's true that not every job will fit into this futuristic (想象的)pattern, many will. 5.
A:No one knows what the future work is like .
B:Here's what the future of work looks like.
C:Do you know what you want to do in the future?
D:Will your job be part of the future of work?
E:The world of work is changing quickly .
F:For many professionals, gone are the days of traveling to a central location.
G:The days of working for one company and retiring with the gold watch are gone.
