           Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would be too often on call as entertainers（娱乐者） for their children．They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were children．But their own children seem different, less good at finding things to pass the time, somehow．When there’s nothing to do, these parents notice regretfully that their children seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on the TV．?
    One father, for example, says, “When I was young, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games．We certainly never complained in an angry way to our parents, ‘I have nothing to do”．He compares this with his own children today: “They are simply lazy．If someone doesn’t play with them, they’ll happily sit there watching TV all day．”
    There is one word for this father’s disappointment: unfair．It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language．He feels his children’s lack of inventiveness a great pity, as if the ability to play were something born that his children are missing．In fact, the tendency（倾向） to play is built into the human species, but the actual ability to play—to imagine, to invent in a playful way, and the ability to gain satisfaction after successful effort from it—these are skills that have to be learned and developed．
    Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive（毁灭性的）．Sensing their parents’ disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect．Giving children the chance to develop new things to enjoy themselves, to enrich their knowledge and experience and discover the pleasure of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident（自信）feeling about themselves as able and interesting people．
    小题1:Many people think that, instead of watching a lot of TV, their children should_______．
    A．think up things to enjoy themselvesB．find chances to talk with parents
    C．enjoy themselves outdoorsD．sit silently studying Greek
    小题2:Fathers often blame their children for not being able to play by themselves．This is unfair because________．
    A．they do not lack the ability to play
    B．they have not been given the opportunities to learn and develop their ability
    C．the children are too young to do that
    D．the children are not really lazy, but there’s nothing for them to do
    小题3:When parents show continuous disappointment in their children, the children will________．
    A．be more disappointed
    B．refuse to learn new things
    C．discover the pleasures of doing things on their own
    D．lose their confidence and respectability
    小题4:What is the author’s main idea?
    A．Parents should give children more help on how to be inventive．
    B．Turning off the TV will help us solve a lot of family problems．
    C．It’s not right for parents and children to blame（抱怨） each other．
    D．Today’s children are becoming less able and independent than before．

    A solar pump(太阳能水泵 ) was built in a desert small village. The pump used the deserts most common resource – sunlight, to increase its greatest need, water. Solar collectors were used to collect the sun’s rays. Flat collectors were used instead of concave (凹的) collectors. Flat collectors can be still and do not have moving parts, which can be broken in sandstorms. The system used the 20C temperature difference between the solar collectors and the ground water to work a steam engine which pumped water from under the ground.
    Some of the social effects of the new pump were planed for. Children aged 6—15 used to meet the old men to receive the informal education there. In order to replace this, a school was also included in the project. But the project had not considered the traditional power structure of the village. As soon as the foreign experts left, the two richest men in the village took control of the pump and started selling water to everyone else. The result was that the majority of the people were poorer than before.
    16. The basic function of the solar collectors is to ______
    A. pump water           B. gather the sun’s rays 
    C. start engine            D. raise the temperature

    D. A solar pump is a solar collectors.
    18. The underground water is pumped by means of ______.

    19. Another plan was also included that_____.
    A. some new pumps were to built ,too
    B. children from aged 6—15 were required to meet old men.
    C. a new school would take the place of the informal education.
    D. the richest men in the village would control the pump.
    20. From this passage , it can be inferred that_____.
    A. the project was good , but people there disliked it.
    B. only few rich men supported the project.
    C. the project was successful even though it only brought good social effects to fewer villagers.

    An independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils.
    Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy.
    Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future.
    Mr Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, “One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world.
    “China has replaced Britain as the world’s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation’s children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.
    “A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College.”
    Mr Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language.
    In order to lead the way, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects.”

    B．it realizes the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy
    C．Chinese is the easiest language for the students
    D．there are many native Chinese students at the college
    小题3:What is Mr Cairns’ attitude towards the development of China?
    A．He sees it to be a threat.B．He thinks of it as a danger.
    C．He considers it to be an opportunity.D．He regards it as an encouragement.

    A．The Chinese students at the college have already helped their fellow students
    to learn Chinese.
    B．The school is the first in England to make Chinese a compulsory subject.

    How much can environment affect intelligence? In one study, striking increases in IQ occurred in 25 children who were moved from an orphanage(孤儿院) to more stimulating（使人兴奋的，使人振奋的） environments．The children, who were all considered mentally retarded and unadoptable, were moved to an institution where they received personal attention from adults．Later, these supposedly retarded children were adopted by parents who gave them love, a family ,and a stimulating home environment．The children gained an average of 29 IQ points．For one child, the increase was an amazing 58 points．A second group of initially less "retarded" children, who stayed in the orphanage, lost an average of 26 IQ points.
    Other encouraging results can be found in early childhood education programs, which provide stimulating intellectual experiences for disadvantaged children．In one study, children from low-income families were given enriched environments from early infancy(婴儿期) through preschool．By age 2 their IQ scores were already higher than those in a control group．More important, they were still 5 points higher seven years later．High-quality enrichment programs such as Head Start can prevent children from falling behind in school.
    A particularly striking environmental effect is the fact that 14 nations have shown average IQ gains of from 5 to 25 points during the last 30 years．These IQ boosts, averaging 15 points, occurred in far too short a time for genetics to explain them．It is more likely that the gains reflect environmental forces, such as improved education, nutrition, and living in a technologically complex society.
    小题1:What's the main idea of this passage
    A．Retarded children cannot improve their IQ's.
    B．Orphanages are full of mentally retarded children.
    C．Environmental factors influence a child's IQ.
    D．Early childhood education programs are important.
    小题2:The author is in favor of _____________ according to the passage.
    A．putting retarded children into institutions
    B．providing early childhood education programs
    C．keeping children in orphanages
    D．keeping retarded children with others like themselves
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an environmental factor that affects IQ       .
    A．Good nutrition．B．Improved technology.
    C．Better education．D．Food pollution.
    小题4:What can we conclude from the passage ?
    A．Attention from parents has little effect on a child's IQ.
    B．Head Start programs are a waste of money.
    C．Increases in IQ have happened in the US more rapidly than elsewhere.
    D．Genetics are less important than environment in gaining one's IQ.

    When I first began to work with international students, I asked someone at a lunch, “What brings you here today?” Looking at me like I was a bit crazy, he answered, “ The bus.” That was my first realization that no matter how good a speaker is, there are phrases that will always tend to cause confusion to non-native speakers. These idiomatic phrases(惯用语) add color and interest to any language and are worth learning if you want to talk fluently with native speakers.
    “By no stretch”----The speaker is referring to something that’s very hard to achieve or realize, even with great effort, as in “It was not a good meal, by any stretch of the imagination.” Which means that ______________.
    “Half dead”----An expression of extreme tiredness, having nothing to do with actual health. Commonly used at the end of a long and tiring day.
    “By the book”----This means that an action should follow the rules exactly. It also describes the nature of someone who won’t deviate(背离) from a set of rules no matter what the situation is.
    “More power to you”----This isn’t a wish for you to have better electricity from the power company----it’s a statement, usually slightly ironic(讽刺的), that the speaker thinks that you are unlikely to do a task, but you should try if you think you can complete it. It generally means the speaker has no intention of helping you achieve your goal neither will they discourage you from attempting to reach it. For example, “I don’t think you can meet that deadline, but more power to you.”
    “As easy as pie”----A reference that something is as simple or easy as eating a delicious dessert, or that it requires little effort to successfully achieve. In chatting, this phrase does not refer to the process of cooking or eating.
    小题1:The example given by the author in the first paragraph is used to show__________.
    A．the importance of learning idiomsB．the beauty of the English language
    C．the foolishness of the studentD．the cause of the misunderstanding
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following would be proper to fill in the blank in Paragraph 2?
    A．the meal is very deliciousB．it’s very hard to make the meal delicious
    C．people make great efforts to make the meal delicious
    D．even if people try to believe it, the meal could not be described as good
    小题3:If someone says he is half dead, he means____________.
    A．he is in poor healthB．he cannot move
    C．he has a sound sleepD．he is exhausted
    小题4:If a person daren’t do things in a creative way, you may describe him by using “__________”.
    A．by no stretchB．by the book
    C．as easy as pieD．the breaker of rules

    Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become interested in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and have to rush off to keep some forgotten appointment.
    This chance to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can walk around such a place to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will come up to you with the greeting "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
    Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't borrow it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from his usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone tries to buy it !"He said, and left the delighted student continuing his reading.
    小题1:According to the passage the main attraction of a bookshop is that ________.
    A．people can learn something from books 　　
    B．it can be a shelter from a sudden rain
