¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ In 1985, the BMX bike craze was at its height. Every kid in our community was doing tricks on their BMX Raleigh Burner. Every kid apart from two: me and Martin Ogley. Martin was the owner of a purple Raleigh Chopper, and to be seen riding it in 1985 was embarrassing. The kids would knock into Martin mercilessly at every opportunity. And although I didn¡¯t own any kind of bike, I would join in. I knew that by keeping the focus on Martin, I was less likely to be a target.

When other kids asked where my bike was, I would say my BMX was so top-of-the-range that I didn¡¯t ride it on the street. While I knew it would not hold up forever, I wasn¡¯t too worried. The New Year was coming and, after months of complaining to my dad, I was confident that a BMX would appear.

On the New Year, I was disappointed to see Martin playing at the end of our street on what was clearly a brand-new BMX. As we entered the house, my eyes were drawn to where my presents were piled up. There was a bike. A purple Raleigh Chopper. You see, in the week before the New Year, my dad just happened to be drinking in the local working men¡¯s club with Martin¡¯s dad, who was eager to sell an old bike after buying his son a new one.

It wasn¡¯t until I was in my 30s that we were in that same working men¡¯s club and I reminded my dad of that year, the year of Martin Ogley¡¯s Chopper. I thought he wouldn¡¯t remember the whole thing, but he did. And so I asked him the question: How the hell did I end up with Martin Ogle¡¯s Chopper? And my dad smiled and said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world, ¡°Well, because you were mean to Martin.¡±

¡¾1¡¿Why did the writer join the kids in treating Martin badly?

A.To protect Martin.B.To be friends with them.

C.To get Martin¡¯s bike.D.To avoid being the focus.

¡¾2¡¿Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined words ¡°hold up¡±?

A.Work.B.Stop.C.Fail.D.Stay.

¡¾3¡¿How did the writer¡¯s father get the purple bike?

A.He bought it from the market.B.He got it from Martin¡¯s father.

C.He asked Martin to give it away.D.He exchanged it with his friend.

Cities across China have been rolling out policies to encourage the return of street vendors (̯··), where stall operators and mobile vendors sell food and small commodities on streets and other public spaces.

At a press conference during China s recently concluded ¡°two sessions,¡± Chinese Premier Li Keqiang praised the city of Chengdu in west China for creating 100,000 jobs by setting up 36,000 mobile stalls, signaling an encouragement of reviving street vendoring.

Meanwhile, China¡¯s tech giants are offering help. Alibaba¡¯swholesalemarketplace1688.com issued a plan in late May to connect street sellers directly with factories, while offering stall operators with a total of 70 billion yuan of interest-free loans.

E-commerce major JD.com has promised to secure quality merchandise worth over 50 billion yuan and is offering each stall keeper up to 100,000 yuan worth of interest-free loans.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ For a single woman, yards are a strange thing. You don¡¯t know whether to buy a lawn mower(¸î²Ý»ú)or hire someone to mow it. I did the latter, over many years.

There was one exception. In my early 30s£¬I lived in a cottage near my father, who had a tractor. He lived around the corner on an old country lane, now fully developed. But at the time, it was with sweet relief, having just returned from city life, that I drove his borrowed tractor down the lane in the late afternoon, mowed my land, and then drove it back in the evening light, gazing(×¢ÊÓ)up at the stars as they came out.

Soon the routine became impossible with traffic in the developing area. I needed someone to do my yard work.

Vardman was a devoted young boy. He sang at the top of his lungs as he mowed. His work was a joy. But Vardman grew up. After his graduation from high school, which I attended, and his leaving for college, I was without.

So here I was with two African men who brought not only knowledge but a deep love of working the land. There was a peace about the work they did. The perfection was noticeable everywhere, with every border in place, the unnecessary brush cleared out. The rhythm in their work, the rhythm of their work¡ªit was poetry to watch.

Later I moved to North Carolina. I found myself in another small house with a beautiful but wasted yard. A strange mountain man gave me a wonderful price and began what has become an exercise in grace, gratitude and being simple.

Over the few years I have lived here, he has slowly, patiently, lovingly turned a long-neglected place into a quiet beauty. Quiet, modest, sincere, he uses only natural products on the lawn and flower beds. After the growing season ends, he collects his final paycheck and disappears into the mountains. A quiet man is teaching me patience and how it brings beauty back.

¡¾1¡¿What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The development of traffic in the city.

B.The tiredness of mowing down the lanes.

C.The poor living areas in the countryside.

D.The joy of returning home after mowing.

¡¾2¡¿How did the writer find Vardman?

A.He devoted himself to the job.

B.He was glad to be a mower forever.

C.He wasted the working time by singing.

D.He earned money for his college education.

¡¾3¡¿Why did the writer mention the poetry in the fifth paragraph?

A.To prove the good job of African mowers,

B.To show her love for African poems,

C.To praise the mowers through writing poems.

D.To describe the images of mowers in poems.

¡¾4¡¿What did the quiet man teach the writer?

A.Gratitude is a reward for kindness.

B.Money is endless for people to earn.

C.Simple life is worth more paycheck.

D.Beauty comes from working patiently.

A great many parents send their children to pre-schools --- educational programs for children under the age of five. It has been said that this is the time period when the brain does over fifty percent of its growing. This could mean that the learning process should be introduced during these years.

However, the views that different societies hold regarding the purpose of early childhood education are not same. Whereas Chinese parents tend to see preschools primarily as a way of giving children a good start academically, parents in the United States regard the primary purpose of preschools as making children more independent and self-reliant. Preschools can operate under a guiding philosophy of play-based or academic learning. Play-based programs are guided by the central belief that children learn best through play. Play is thought to build children¡¯s interest and love of learning. Academic programs emphasize reading, math and science, and use structured, teacher-directed activities to promote foundational skills in these areas. In the United States, the best-known program designed to promote future academic success is Head Start. The program, which stresses parental involvement, was designed to serve the ¡°whole child¡±, including children¡¯s physical health, self-confidence, social responsibility, and social and emotional development.

A recent evaluation suggests that preschoolers who participate in Head Start are less likely to repeat grades, and more likely to complete school in future. Furthermore, graduates of Head Start programs show higher academic performance at the end of high school, although the gains are modest. In addition, results from other types of preschool readiness programs indicate that for every dollar spent on the program, taxpayers saved seven dollars by the time the graduates reached the age of 27.

Not everyone agrees that programs that seek to enhance academic skills during the preschool years are a good thing. In fact, according to developmental psychologist David Elkind, United States society tends to push children so rapidly that they begin to feel stress and pressure at a young age. Elkind argues that academic success is largely dependent upon factors such as inherited abilities and a child¡¯s rate of maturation, which parents can do nothing about. Consequently, children of a particular age cannot be expected to master educational material without taking into account their current level of cognitive(ÈÏÖªµÄ) development. In short, children require development appropriate educational practice, which is education that is based on both typical development and the unique characteristics of a given child.
