    Toddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee---twenty-two-old Jonathan Brown—as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will benefit from the experience of having a male role model in the nursery.” Says mother of two, Margery.

    Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum with looking after all the children.” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”

    But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the National Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion(怀疑)in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recoginsed.” Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under-7s football coach, and plants to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.

    What do Jonathan’s friends think of his choice of career?

    “Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now.” he says, “though they do make jokes about nappies. And I’ve found that girls are actually quite impressed – so that’s good!”

    1.Why was Jonathan employed by Toddler World Nursery?

    A. He was the best among all the applicants.

    B. He was the only man who applied for the job.

    C. He would be able to teach kids to play football.

    D. He would do things the way women would do them.

    2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “childminder” (Para.2)?

    A. Instructor.

    B. Superior.

    C. Baby-sitter.

    D. Coach.

    3.What did Roger Olsen say about the job of childcare?

    A. It has been women-specific.

    B. It requires people’s understanding.

    C. It takes time to make some changes.

    D. It needs men teachers to bring something different.

    A Samoan airline says that it is the world’s first carrier to charge passengers by their weight. Samoa Air, which opened in 2012, asks passengers to give their personal weight during booking, which is then charged according to the length of a flight. The customers will also be weighed just before they board the plane.

    "It is believed that all people throughout the world are the same size," Samoa Air CEO Chris Langton said. "Airplanes always run on weight, not seats."

    "There is no doubt in my mind that this is the concept of the future. This is the fairest way of your travelling with your family or yourself."

    Though the airline introduced the plan last November, it caught people's attention last week when the carrier began international flights to neighboring American Samoa.

    Almost at the same time, a Norwegian economist, Bharat Bhatta, published a report suggesting that airlines should charge obese passengers more.

    The Pacific Islands contain some of the world’s most common countries for obesity, many ranking in the top 10, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Samoa is ranked number four, with 59.6 percent of the population considered obese, said the most recent WHO report.

    According to Samoa Air's latest schedule, the airline charges up to $0.57 per kg for flights in Samoa and $1.03 per kg for its only international flight to American Samoa, around 250 miles.

    Children under 12 are charged 75 percent of the adult rate, with fares also based on weight. Any overweight baggage is calculated at the same rate as the passenger's personal weight.

    The plan could actually prove cheaper in some cases, such as for families travelling with small children, and Langton said customer reaction has mainly been "amazingly positive".

    The idea of charging passengers by weight has been hotly discussed before, and in the US some airlines require those who do not fit into a seat comfortably to buy a second seat.

    1.What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

    A. Airlines should charge passengers by flight length.

    B. All people throughout the world are the same size.

    C. It is unfair to weigh passengers at the airport.

    D. Airplanes always run on weight, not seats.

    2.In Bharat Bhatta’s eyes, Samoa Air's plan might be _______.

    A. funny B. acceptable

    C. strange D. disappointing

    3.A 100 kg adult flying to American Samoa would be charged _______.

    A. $57 B. $75

    C. $103 D. $125

    4.What does the text mainly tell us?

    A. 59.6% of Samoans are considered obese.

    B. Samoa Air introduces pay-by-weight pricing.

    C. Airlines should charge obese passengers more.

    D. Baggage must be calculated as passengers’ weight.

    Training for a marathon (马拉松) requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 1., buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 2.. As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

    During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 3., it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. 4.. After two weeks, start timing yourself. 5.. Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race.

    A. After six days

    B. For a good marathon runner

    C. Before you begin your training

    D. With each day, increase the distance by a half mile

    E. If they still feel good, you can begin running in them

    F. Time spent for preparation raises the quality of training

    G. Now you are ready to figure out a goal of improving distance and time

    The Simple Technique That Could Save Cyclists' Lives

    It's called the Dutch Reach, and if a Massachusetts doctor has his way, it could prevent road riders 1.ever getting doored again.

    Last year, some 45,000 bicyclists were injured on the road, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. And ten percent of those 2.(injury)were the direct result of the rider getting doored: a supremely terrifying, 3.(pain)collision where a driver opens his door immediately in front of a cyclist.

    Michael Charney, a 70-year-old 4.(retire) doctor from Cambridge, Massachusetts, is spearheading a grassroots campaign to end dooring forever. The campaign promotes the Dutch Reach—a technique where a driver reaches over with his right hand to open the car door, 5.(force) him to turn his body, look over his shoulder—and 6.(hopeful) see any oncoming cyclists.

    The name 7.(inspire)by the bike-friendly Netherlands, where drivers are required in their driving exams to open car doors with their right hands. Charney hopes this potentially life-saving technique will be adopted in the U.S. It’s already picking up some de facto (实际存在的)steam; there’s now a sign at an intersection in Cambridge 8.a cyclist was killed last year by a car door that reads, “Safer to open car door with far hand.”

    “It’s simple, it’s obvious, 9.it costs nothing” Charney told The Boston Globe. “People just have to switch from one thoughtless habit to another thoughtless habit –but the 10.(two) one is safer.”

    THE WAY TO READ FAST
    Perhaps you have been told about some habits（习惯） which stop a person reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.

    Do you really know who you are? This is not a trick question but rather an honest understanding into the inner workings of each one of us. We usually share with our friends a piece of who we are, the piece that we want them to like or connect with. However, there is a secret, a hidden piece that doesn’t want to be noticed by others.

    Our personal inner beliefs play a vital role in the way we think, act and live. They set us up to accept a belief and then it is the belief that separates our personal story. There are numerous people who have taken on the pain and suffering of their parents. Some have devoted their lives to living with lack; that is lack of love because they saw what they thought was love while in the crib (婴儿床) and it frightened them. Subconsciously (潜意识地) they made great efforts in their lives to avoid a similar experience.

    Each one of us carries around with us our inner beliefs. If one of your beliefs is one that causes you to hold back from getting the perfect job or blocking love to come to you, that belief is a negative belief and one that needs to be dealt with if you are seeking a life of joy, contentment and personal success, whether it is emotional, spiritual, financial or physical.

    Don’t let your blocked or frozen emotions guide the way you want to lead your life. Now it is your time to finally become victorious over those past situations that have upset you during your entire life and become the winner you were born to be.

    1.What is the author’s purpose with a question at the beginning?

    A. To explain who we are really.

    B. To introduce the main topic.

    C. To show the author’s opinion.

    D. To persuade people to share inner beliefs.

    2.We can infer that the author believes inner beliefs ________.

    A. shape us B. block love to come

    C. shouldn’t be hidden D. make us sad and painful

    3.What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?

    A. The love to come.

    B. The negative belief.

    C. The past painful experience.

    D. The life of joy, contentment and personal success.

    4.Which of the following is the suggestion of the author?

    A. Sharing our inner beliefs with others.

    B. Ignoring blocked or frozen emotions.

    C. Dealing with our negative inner beliefs wisely.

    D. Having a deep understanding of our inner beliefs.
