    When you are curious about something, and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The steps below can guide you during the research.

    Step 1 On a note card or piece of paper, write down the subject that you are interested in. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write:

    Discover more about dinosaurs.

    Step 2 Next, stop and think for a moment about what you already know about your subject. List what you already know like the sentences below:

    1. Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.
    2. Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years.
    3. Some dinosaurs fed on plants, some on meat.

    Step 3 What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions. On your paper, start writing down questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them:

    1. What’s the best weather for dinosaurs to live in?
    2. How many kinds of dinosaurs are there?
    3. Have dinosaurs really disappeared?

    Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you’ll probably discover some new questions.

    For example, you might discover that dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago. Why? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.
    The next time you find something interesting to research, take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember—learning more always bring more questions.

    In white shirt, blue pants, black cloth shoes and two pigtails (辫子), Jingqiu gives off an air of great “pure beauty” in Zhang Yimou’s new movie Under the Hawthom Tree.《山揸树之恋》
    The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at the end of the “cultural revolution” (1966-1976), the pair manage to fall in love although they come form different political environments.
    Before it was released, moviegoers speculated (推测) on just what this “pure beauty” could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu—a character so innocent that she believes simply lying on the same bed with a man will make her pregnant.
    It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has “eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside”. Born of an ordinary worker’s family, the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
    While some teenagers consider such “pure beauty” illusory (虚幻的), others believe that it speaks of something soulful.
    Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing.
    “Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it doesn’t mean an ignorant or naive (天真的) person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn’t pass with time,” she said.
    小题1: What image does Jingqiu give to audiences in the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree?
    A．A simple girl.B．A pure girl.C．A romantic girl.D．A silent girl.
    小题2: What kind of girl looks pure according to the passage?
    A．A girl in red shirt, blue pants, black leather shoes and two pigtails.
    B．A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.
    C．A girl who was born into an ordinary worker’s family.
    D．A girl wears accessories and make-up.
    小题3: What’s the opinion of Tan Mengxi about purity?
    A．It is of whether someone is ignorant or naive.
    B．Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced.
    C．It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.
    D．Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn’t pass with time.
    小题4: Which do you think is the best title for the passage?
    A．What makes a pure girl?
    B．A debate on the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree
    C．Opinions on the character Jingqiu
    D．It’s hard to find the character Jingqiu
    小题5:When did the story in the movie happen？
    A．In the 1960sB．In the 1980s
    C．In the 1970sD．In the 1990s.

    Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese
    The fourth-graders at Chicago’s McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten, and it’s now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.
    The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on security—useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents—has driven a quick growth in the number of programs.
    Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. It’s true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.
    Advocates (提倡者，拥护者) see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization（全球化) has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers… The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”
    In Chicago, the trend extends beyond schools with high numbers of Asian students. “The fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virginia Rivera, principal at McCormick.“We want to give our young people opportunities to advance… and Chinese is a great opportunity to survive in today’s economy,” says Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.
    小题1:The first paragraph is mainly written to _______.
    A．show the importance of Chinese learning
    B．introduce the topic to be followed
    C．advise primary schools to teach Chinese
    D．prove it’s easy for children to learn language
    小题2: How many languages are mentioned in this passage?
    A．Six.B．Two.
    C．Three.D．Four.
    小题3: In the last paragraph, the underlined word “this ”probably refers to _____.
    A．the competition between Latino and Asian students
    B．the global economy
    C．the interesting way to engage with China
    D．the Chinese learning
    小题4: What CANNOT be learned from this passage?
    A．Most students at McCormick can speak three languages.
    B．Chinese is gaining its popularity in all schools in Chicago.
    C．French has far more speakers than Chinese does in Chicago.
    D．Globalization in a way makes it necessary to learn Chinese.
    小题5: Which of the following is mainly about in this passage?
    A．The Chinese learning in Chicago.
    B．The ways to learn Chinese.
    C．McCormick Primary School.
    D．Globalization and Chinese learning.

    The world is filled with many interesting sounds. Some are very pleasant to hear; others are unpleasant to our ears. In a day, you probably hear hundreds of different sounds.
    All sounds are different. Some may be soft; others may be loud. Some sounds are high; others are low.
    Some sounds are useful. Without sound we cannot talk or listen to one another. The ringing alarm clock (闹钟)makes people wake up. The hooting of a horn (喇叭声) on the road warns careless people of danger.
    We make sounds by making things move to and fro(来回地). This to-and-fro movement is called vibration (振动). It means moving up and down or forwards(向前地) and backwards(向后的) very fast. This makes sound waves(波).
    We can make sounds in many ways, for example, by shouting, clapping our hands and striking the table. We can make sounds only by making things vibrate. We can talk because we can make our vocal cords (声带) vibrate. Our vocal cords are in a sound box or voice box. Two vocal cords vibrate when our lungs(肺) force the air through them.
    小题1:We can make sounds ______.
    A．by making things still
    B．by making things vibrate
    C．by making things jump up and down
    D．by changing the positions of things
    小题2: Some sounds are useful because ______.
    A．they can wake people up
    B．they can warn people to be careful when they are crossing the road
    C．they make it possible for people to talk or listen to each other
    D．all of the above
    小题3:When the air is through our vocal cords, it can make them ______.
    A．vibrateB．breathe the air
    C．talk to each otherD．move forward and backward

    A．different sounds have different vibrations
    B．different sounds have different sound waves
    C．different sounds have different vocal cords

    Alone in the darkness under layers of rubble (碎石) , Dan Woolley felt blood streaming from his head and leg.
    Woolley, an aid worker, husband, and father of two boys, followed instructions on his cell phone to survive the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
    “I had an app that had pre-downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I  looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture(断裂),” Woolley told CNN.
    The application on his iPhone is filled with information about first aid and CPR from the American Heart Association. “So I knew I wasn’t making mistakes, ” Woolley said. “That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly.”
    Trapped in the ruins of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince, he used his shirt to bandage his leg, and tied his belt around the wound. To stop the bleeding on his head, he firmly pressed a sock to it. Concerned he might have been experiencing shock, Woolley used the app to look up what to do. It warned him not to sleep. So he set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
    Once the battery got down to less than 20 percent of its power, Woolley turned it off. By then, he says, he had trained his body not to sleep for long periods, drifting off only to wake up within minutes.
    With his injuries tended to, he wrote a note to his family in his journal: “I was in a big accident, an earthquake. Don’t be upset at God. He always provides for his children even in hard times. I’m still praying that God will get me out, but he may not. But even so he will always take care of you.”
    After more than 60 hours, Woolley was pulled from the rubble.
    “Those guys are rescue heroes,” he said to the crew that pulled him out.
    小题1: Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
    A．How to deal with the wound.
    B．Try to get in touch with outside.
    C．How to stay awake under the ground.
    D．An unforgettable experience in the earthquake.

    C．he was afraid that sleep might do harm to him
    D．he needed to use the app to look up what to do

    The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
    Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
    The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
    After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

    Early this month, on the Egyptian-Israeli border not far from her hometown, a series of bombings killed 35 people and injured more than 160. Despite the attack, life quickly returned to normal. Living under the threat of attack is normal here.
    Israel teenagers’ interests are not very different from others’. “Low-cut jeans（低腰牛仔裤）and miniskirts are very in,”said Hinanit, an 18-year-old teenager.
    “You cannot let the fighting control what you do and don’t do. Of course I am scared sometimes, but I still go out and have fun. Yon always have to be careful, and things are probably more dangerous now, but I still love Israel. It is my home, and I would not leave it for anything!” Cohen said.
    Meanwhile, on the other side of the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian boy named Bilal lies in a hospital bed, with his friends round, praying for his life.

Many Palestinian children have been driven away from homes into crowded and hungry refugee camps with their families. “Even if we are surrounded by Israeli soldiers and have no food, we will stand and defend our country,” said Fatima Al-Aidi，a 13-year-old teenager, who lost a friend in Israel’s recent attack. “I hope to carry a lot of weapons and take my revenge（报复）one day. I hope the day comes when the enemy leaves Palestine.”

    Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal. In some ways, however, very little has changed. Ideas about social class whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class” are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.
    In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then give them to his wife, leaving a little for drinking or betting.
    The type of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was and still is likely to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house to provide him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.
    Nowadays, much has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much. Social security and laws have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感)they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
    The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen among younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes. They spend their money enjoying themselves, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new problems will appear between different groups.
    小题1:Which of the following is seen as the main cause of class differences in the past?
    A．Life style and occupation.
    B．Attitude and income.
    C．Income and job security.
    D．Job security and hobbies.
    小题2: The writer seems to suggest that _______.
    A．the description of middle-class ways of spending money is quite real
    B．working-class ways of spending the weekend remain the same
    C．working-class drinking habits differ from the past
    D．middle-class attitudes towards their positions have changed greatly
    小题3: According to the passage, what was the typical feature of the middle–class in the past?
    A．They had to save money for security.
    B．They couldn’t make long-term plans.
    C．They could make as much money as they do now.
    D．They didn’t have the sense of inferiority.
    小题4: Working-class people's sense of security has increased as a result of all the following factors EXCEPT that _______.
    A．they are provided with social security
    B．they can get much income
    C．better jobs are available for all of them
    D．the government offers legal protection
    小题5:Which of the following statements is incorrect?
    A．Changes are slowly taking place in all aspects of the British society.
    B．The difference between working-class and middle-class young people is narrowing.
    C．The gap in income between the two classes will still remain.
    D．Middle-class people may sometimes feel a little inferior.
