It was almost five years since I began to learn English. I’m glad to say I’m getting along good with it. But first I came across a lot of difficulties. I couldn’t pronunciation English sounds well, nor could I remember the words I had learned. In class, I couldn’t understand that the teacher had said. I almost lost my heart when the teacher told me, “Keeping on, and you will do well.” I was great encouraged. I started working hard at English. With the help of his and my classmates, I made some progresses. I’m very pleased, but I will work harder.

Sometimes all a child needs is a little creative involvement from mom and dad. Here are some very simple easy-to-use ideas that might help.

School is Important!

   71    Consciously learn something new every day and make a game of it with your family. Make homework a family activity and participate by checking in and helping out.

Set Realistic Goals.

Be reasonable. Don’t expect miracles to happen overnight.    72    . Help your child understand what they’re trying to accomplish and that there are no short cuts. Improving their grades is a goal worth reaching, not a punishment.    73    . This will give them a say in their educational future.

Be a Mentor(导师).

Be available for your child. If you’re willing to sit down and help them get through a tough assignment, they’ll be more willing, too. Remember that learning is about encountering what you don’t know. That can be scary!    74    . Your child will learn more quickly if they can depend on you to help no matter what the problem is.

Know When to Ask for Help.

Know when to turn to a tutor, or any of the numerous programs connected with local schools and libraries,    75   . Consider seeking professional help. A counselor(顾问)should be able to identify problems and give suggestions on how to help a child learn to their full potential.

A. Many children suffer from learning disabilities.

B. Academic progress is a slow but steady process.

C. Allow your child to suggest solutions to the problem.

D. When your child succeeds make sure they are congratulated.

E. Be patient when helping your child master new skills.

F. Talk about how valuable education is and how it can benefit your child’s future.

G. Establishing an environment where learning is fun and important is a great thing to do.

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

    Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use E-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast food restaurant or under the trees- anywhere at all!

    Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities too.

    At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

66. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ____________.

A. use for their schoolwork                               B. access the Internet

C. work at home                                                     D. connect them to libraries

67. Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?

A. They don’t really talk.                                          B. They use the computer language.

C. Laptops have speakers.                                        D. None of the above reasons is correct.

68. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?

A. All teachers use computers.                                  B. 1500 students have laptops.

C. It is an old college in America.                       D. Students there can do everything.

69. “A window on the world” in the last paragraph means that students can __________.

A. attend lectures on information technology       B. travel around the world

C. get information from around the world           D. have free laptops

70. What can we infer from the passage?

A. The program is successful.                                  B. The program is not workable.

C. The program is too expensive.                       D. We don’t know the result yet.

Tokyo: the world's oldest man, retired Japanese silkworm breeder Yukichi Chuganji, died in his home at the age of 114, on Monday. Family members found him dead on his mattress. Born on March 23, 1989, Chuganji worked as a silkworm breeder and bank employee after leaving school. He also served as a community welfare officer.

    Washington: every American dislikes people who talk on cell phones while driving, even those are guilty of the practice. In the State of New Jersey, 84 percent of 968 cell phone owners said in a recent telephone survey that they would support a state ban on the use of cell phones while driving. However, 42 percent of cell phone owners also said they used the devices "very often" or "sometimes" while driving. Although most agree that the banning is good, only 38 percent believed such a ban would be easy to enforce.

If there is any single factor(因素) that makes for success in living, it is the ability to be benefited by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze(分析) defeat and actually learn something from it in this next undertaking(从事的工作). Wrongly take defeat for failure and you are sure indeed to fail. For it isn’t defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.

Defeats are nothing to be afraid of. They are common incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to get rid of its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a stick and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and more tightly until his whole weight is hung up. It is this same reaction(反应) that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make full use of the power which defeat gives, you can complete with it far more than you are able to.

59．The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely

A．to achieve success                        B．to be afraid of his defeat

C．to let a baby grasp a stick                     D．to make a living

60．The author

A．advises you to mix defeat with failure

B．orders you to mix defeat with failure

C．wants you to wrongly take defeat for failure

D．warns you not to wrongly take defeat with failure

61．What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives?

A．One should explain it.                           B．One should examine it.

C．One should use it to win success.         D．One should know its usefulness.

Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.
     The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries.                                

People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.
56．The passage is mainly about ___          

A．the history of phone cards

B．phone card collecting as a hobby

C．reasons for phone card collecting

       D．the great variety of phone cards.

57．The main reason for most people to collect phone cards is that ___   

A．they find the cards beautiful and easy to keep

B．they like to have something from different countries

C．they want to make money with cards

D．they think the cards are convenient to use

58．The writer mentions a market in Paris in order to show that ___   

A．card collecting is popular among young people

B．French and Japanese cards are the most valuable

C．people can make money out of card collecting

D．card collectors’ magazines are very useful

Anna Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. "I was always   36   prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I would not answer the questions   37  . I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answers. My   38   grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology had   39  experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was  40 . My hands were moving up and down so  41  that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't  42  write them down!"

These two young students were  43  something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is anxious about a test, his or her  44  does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think  45  because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a(n)  46  of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just a(n)  47  or a false explanation of lazy students.

Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them  48  to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to  49  their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become  50 in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds  51  at ease.  52  information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

A(n)  53  at the University of California explains, "With almost all students, relaxation and  54  stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control  55  their tests. Almost all have some improvement."
