Kids who receive special education are, without doubt, the hardest working children in any school. When they are having difficulty learning basic literacy and number concepts, when they break rules, when they need more services, support and adult attention than their peers, then they are struggling the hardest. In psychology, we are trained to think that if we are feeling angry or confused when sitting with a patient, then we are probably feeling just what our patient is feeling. The same is true for students with disabilities. Whatever we feel when we work with them, they are probably feeling as they work with us.
If you have a disability that affects your education, then you have a brain disorder. Because education, even in mathematics, is largely verbal(用言辞), most brain disorders responsible for educational disabilities affect language, and how you process words and ideas in written and oral form. To imagine how much effort a child with a language disability spends each school day, imagine yourself attending a school today taught in a language you had a basic understanding of. Imagine though, that while you seem fluent to others, you have trouble when people talk too fast, use idioms or expressions.
When adults and classmates blame, or criticize kids who receive special education, they are struggling with their own confusion. It is difficult to imagine the world as it is lived by someone with an educational disability. It is difficult to understand how someone who can be so "normal" can have so many problems. It is so easy to imagine that if they just tried harder... without understanding that just to do the ordinary, kids with disabilities are making an extraordinary effort.
1.What is the purpose of the author by writing the passage?
A. to introduce how hard to be a special education teacher.
B. to think highly of the children with disabilities.
C. to show the disabled have much trouble in understanding.
D. to call on the society to care for the disabled.
2. If a disabled kid learns number concepts, he __________.
A. won’t work as hard as a normal.
B. will work double as hard as a normal.
C. will be as patient as the normal.
D. will think of his disability first.
3.If a kid has a disability affecting his education, he will ________.
A. have a hard time using the language.
B. be too foolish to learn maths .
C. not understand what others are saying.
D. have a lot of trouble in remembering words.
4.Before you intend to blame a kid receiving special education, __________.
A. you should try to understand what he is saying.
B. you should imagine the world he lives in.
C. you should imagine yourself in his shoes.
D. you should think of the education he has received.

Who decided that blue jeans and T-shirts are “cool” for kids to wear today? Who designs the clothes you see for sale in stores? All of these questions concern the world of fashion.
Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!
In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants (降落伞裤) all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!
Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.
The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持) their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.
For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others.
Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — speak for who you are!
1.The examples of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3 suggest that _____.
A. fashion always changes
B. stars are always influential
C. people have different dressing styles
D. hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers
2.Fashions change mainly because _____.
A. advertisements change rapidly
B. popular culture influences people
C. movie stars are changing over time
D. new films and shows replace the old
3.In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to stress _____.
A. the advantages of staying unique
B. the bad effects of following fashion
C. the good influences of popular styles
D. the importance of having one’s own personality
4.We can learn from the text that _____.
A. fashion is all about clothes
B. the author has gone out of fashion
C. clothes may separate and distance people
D. people like imitating others’ dressing style

Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them. For success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself. It means to treat the child as really one’s equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to an adult. It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children. Parents do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an inner peace under all outside liveliness.
But what does a child experience? Corrections, orders, interference(干涉), the whole livelong day. The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something different, or want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants. He is always guided in another direction from the true inner will that is leading him. All of this is caused by our so-called enthusiasm in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line(流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
To bring up a child means carrying one’s soul in one’s hand; it means never placing ourselves in danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child. It means the truth that the ways of injuring the child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few. How seldom does the educator remember that the child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling! The smallest mistrust and unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child. While, on the other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.
1.The passage mainly talks about _______.
A.misleading zones and right ways in educating children |
B.current problems in training children |
C.what should be taught to children |
D.the importance of educating children |
2.Children, according to the passage, are experiencing _______.
A.corrections, orders and peace |
B.orders, interference and peace |
C.interference, orders and corrections |
D.peace, guide and praise |
3.If you were a parent, which of the following methods is TRUE according to the text?
A.You could treat your children not so seriously for they don’t understand many things. |
B.You could train your children as you wish them to be since you are parents. |
C.You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood. |
D.You should correct your children immediately if their behavior is not what you want. |
4.We may conclude that the author believes people should _______.
A.play with the children with enthusiasm all day long just to please them |
B.try to give an order, advice and suggestions to their children at any time |
C.treat their children just as the way they treat an adult in their daily life |
D.regard their children as an equal to them and have understanding of the inner peace of them |

Some of the people who created many popular apps are telling kids to put their phones away — at least, a bit more often. The Center for Humane Technology is made up of people who used to work for big tech companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter. Now they want kids to stop using those apps and websites so much.
In early February, the center started a campaign called The Truth About Tech. Its goal is to teach students, parents and teachers about the dangers of spending too much time on smart phones and computers.
According to studies about kids and technology, more than 95 percent of elementary school-aged children spend at least part of every day using a computer or smart phone. About 78 percent of teens check their phones every hour, and more than half of them sleep with their phones in case they get a call or message during the night.
The Center for Humane Technology says that the apps and websites we use every day are purposely designed to keep us chatting, playing or watching online as much as possible. That includes social media like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, websites like YouTube and online games. It also says that the tech companies talk only about the good aspects of their products and don’t mention the side effects.
Some physical problems, like headaches, eyestrain (眼疲劳), and neck pain are caused by using phones or computers too much. Students spending too much time online may find it hard to be focused on school work. Children and teenagers are more likely to have these problems because their brains, bodies and social skills are still developing.
One goal of The Truth About Tech campaign is to make sure that kids understand how technology affects them so they can make better decisions. The people behind the campaign also want governments and the tech companies themselves to take steps to protect children. When the leaders of the big technology companies are designing tech tools for kids, they should think about what they would want for their own children.
1.The Center for Humane Technology _______.
A. is made up of people doing voluntary work
B. is an organization working for big companies
C. intends to help people use high-tech products
D. aims to stop children spending too much time online
2.The data in Paragraph 3 are meant to _______.
A. ensure the reliability of the studies
B. show the seriousness of the problem
C. suggest the development of high technology
D. explain the reason for keeping phones at hand
3.According to the center, the purpose of the commonly used apps and websites is to _______.
A. encourage people to communicate more
B. help people learn more knowledge
C. attract people to using them more
D. enrich people’ s life
4.Why are children most likely influenced by the overuse of high-tech products?
A. They lack guidance on necessary social skills.
B. Their determination is not strong enough.
C. They have a lot of spare time after school.
D. Their bodies and social skills aren’t well developed.
5.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It is the kids’ responsibility to protect themselves.
B. Governments strongly disagree with the campaign.
C. Technology companies are to blame for the problems.
D. It takes joint efforts to help kids use hightech products wisely.
