As each semester begins, my colleague greets his students wearing a jacket and tie.
“You make only one first impression,” he says. So while the rest of the semester he teaches class in his usual, more casual clothes, the first week he presents a different image.
His thought is that students will remember their first meet positively and more readily think highly of him as the semester goes on because that favorable first impression has an influence on them.
The sequence (顺序) that we meet matters in how we judge subsequent (后来的) information. The big influence of first impressions is related to the halo effect, where the perception (看法) of positive qualities in one thing or part gives rise to the perception of similar qualities in related things or in the whole.
Here is an example: You meet a friendly person at a party and later are asked to collect money for a worthy cause. You call that person because you think she will make a contribution. In reality, there is no connection between being pleasant and being generous. Yet the halo effect leads you to think that the two are related.
The halo effect is powerful, but it is questionable whether it matters much in long-term relationships, such as that between teacher and student. While dressing up may make students think the teacher must know his subject matter because he creates a professional first impression, the effect wears thin if the person turns out to be a poor teacher after all.
First impressions matter but they don’t have the final word. Facts speak louder. If you had never seen or heard of Einstein, the first time you saw him your impression would most likely be negative. Now his face is connected with genius (天才), not madness because he is the person who has come to define what genius is.
The problem is that few of us are Einsteins and we often don’t get the chance to change a negative first impression.
1. The author explains the halo effect mainly by _____.
A. following the order of importance
B. making a comparison
C. setting down general rules
D. giving an example
2.In the author’s eyes, the halo effect _____.
A. is surprisingly powerful
B. matters more in the long run
C. makes some teachers irresponsible
D. may affect our judgment of others
3. The author uses the example of Einstein to show the importance of _____.
A. appearance B. impressions
C. truth D. fairness
4.The author seems to advise readers _____.
A. not to follow others’ judgments
B. not to judge a book by its cover
C. to mind their first impressions
D. to pay no attention to the halo effect

Beat Summer Learning Loss
Summer learning loss is a loss of knowledge and skills most commonly due to long breaks during the summertime. Many teachers have certainly had the experience of taking the first month of school not only to introduce his or her rules and procedures to the class but also to get the kids back “up to speed” with thinking, remembering what they’ve learned and in many cases, reviewing previous content. 1.
(1)Read!
Research supports the relationship between independent reading and student achievement, so simply having children read daily will make a positive difference. 2. public libraries, local bookstores, online stores, etc.
(2)Write!
Have children write letters to out-of-town friends and family, or write postcards while on vacation. 3. For children who are good at drawing or painting, parents may choose to create a family scrapbook(剪贴簿) with words printed below pictures. Not only will parents keep this summer’s memories, but children will also continue to practice his or her writing skills!
(3)Do the Math!
4. have a yard sale, and put children in charge of the cash box; help younger ones organize an orange juice stand (to practice salesmanship and making change). Or simply buy a set of inexpensive flash cards to practice basic facts while waiting in line or on a long car ride. There are even a host of free online games that will keep children’s math skills sharp.
(4) “Homeschool” Children.
Keeping children’s skills fresh doesn’t have to cost a fortune: check out some workbooks and online resources, and children can work through several exercises each day. Even as little as twenty minutes a day can have amazing results. 5. For instance, children can learn something during a car ride, right before bedtime, etc.
Of course, parents don’t need to do all the steps here. Just following through with one or two of these ways will be of great help.
A. Think of ways children can use math skills in daily activities:
B. A summer journal is another way to set down summer activities.
C. What’s more, it’s easy to work in a small block of time here and there.
D. Check out the following sources to find books that your child will want to dive into.
E. So it’s not a good choice for parents to force children to spend their summertime learning knowledge.
F. Fortunately, there are some steps parents can try to help children both enjoy the summer and keep their skills fresh.

The oldest and most common source(来源) of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms of energy production in the United States and elsewhere．Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere—from trees and grasses to agricultural and city-life wastes—biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world．
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun．When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy．In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池) for storing the sun’s energy．As long as biomass is produced continuously —with only as much grown as is used—the “battery” lasts forever．
According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0．5 and 0．9 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply．In 2008—although the numbers aren’t all in yet—wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country．
Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year．Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials．Such practice may save homeowner’s money, but it also produces a lot of pollution．So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it．
1.Why is biomass considered as “a sort of natural battery”?
A．It burns merely plant matter．
B．It keeps producing electricity．
C．It stores the energy from the sun．
D．It produces zero carbon dioxide．
2.We learn from the text that in 2008 ______．
A．wind power would be the leader of renewable energy．
B．there was a rapid growth of electricity production
C．biomass might become the main energy source
D．0．5~0．9 of power supply came from biomass
3.Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?
A．To prevent the waste of energy．
B．To increase production safety．
C．To reduce pollution．
D．To save money．
4.Where does the text probably come from?
A．A research plan．
B．A science magazine
C．A book review．
D．A business report．
