When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock. ”He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words.

When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something. ”

As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants.

For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. . David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.

Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boy to encourage his enthusiasm for observation.

That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.

1.The author wrote the passage to　　 .

A. recall the happy times he spent with his son

B. tell us that children are full of curiosity

C. tell us how to let children love nature

D. advise us to develop children’s interest or talent

2. The author showed David the ants to　　 .

A. prevent him from becoming bored

B. develop his enthusiasm for observation

C. teach him some new words

D. arouse his interest in creatures

3. Which of the following can best describe the author’s viewpoint?

A. Make children have their own hobbies.

B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible.

C. Satisfy children’s interest by possible means.

D. Hobbies can determine one’s future.

4. The underlined word “intensity” in the third paragraph probably means“　　 ”.

A. hatred　　　　　　 B. fear

Around six weeks ago, Kaileen came running into the house, just getting off the bus from school. She was all excited about a story about homeless pets because of Hurricane (飓风) Katrina and all that was going on to help them. She said that this information came from her animal newspaper (your KIND News). Kaileen has a great love and compassion (同情心) for animals, so her excitement did not surprise me. Her next ideas, however, did. She said that we should go around right then to our neighbors and collect all their change to send to the animal shelters (保护所).

I thought this was a school project, but in fact, it was not. This was what Kaileen wanted to do on her own! Well, it warmed me all over. To see your child so willing to help others just lets you feel that maybe you had done something right in raising (养育) her.

Anyway, I told her to make a card and send it out to our neighbors first. With the help of her older brother, Kaileen soon made a lovely card that asked our neighbors to help these pets by giving their spare change. She gave them a few days and a date she would come by to pick up any donations (捐赠).

Well, I had to go out and buy a donation box. Kaileen collected $279.50!!! I just thought you would like to know how KIND News had touched a little one’s heart and given her the idea to show her compassion for animals. Thank you — we really enjoy your paper.

36. The passage is probably taken from ______.

A. a report about a warm-hearted girl

B. an advertisement for an animal shelter

C. a thank-you letter to a newspaper

D. a donation program for homeless pets

37. What was the author’s feeling about Kaileen’s idea?

A. Pleased and excited.

B. Surprised and moved.

C. Tired and sad.

D. Worried and angry.

38. From the passage we learn that KIND News ______.

A. collects donations for homeless people

B. sets up many shelters for homeless animals

C. tells children how to keep pets healthy

D. encourages children to help homeless pets

39. We can infer that the passage is written by Kaileen’s ______.

A. parent          B. teacher         C. brother      D. neighbor

When I was about halfway between twenty and thirty, I lived in a large, run-down house that other people thought was romantic. The door to my bedroom was at least twelve feet tall. So I fixed a coatrack(衣帽架) over the top, and whenever I needed to get a jacket, or a towel, I stood on my desk chair to get them, swinging uncertainly.

There were six of us in the house. We were all about the same age. Two boys lived on the top floor and three lived in the basement. As the only girl, I was aware of being surrounded by shirtless boys, which is embarrassing especially in summer.

One hot afternoon, I wrote a long e-mail to my high-school English teacher, because I remembered him as handsome in a remote way. He wore expensive clothes and took an understated pleasure in saying inspiring things. I calculated that the English teacher was about forty, and then I pressed Send. The e-mail covered a lot of ground. I summarized what I called “my college experience”. Toward the end of the e-mail, I found myself saying that I couldn’t understand why I still needed to struggle in my college life.

When the English teacher wrote back, I was unexpected. In his response to my e-mail, he mentioned some stories about those who dropped out of school and their lives were hard for me to imagine.

With tears in my eyes, I decided to keep on trying even if I was not in a famous university. I believe as long as I am determined enough, I can make my life better in the future.

1.According to the passage, what does the writer think of her living environment?

A.Inconvenient. B.Romantic.

C.Funny. D.Boring.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A.The children were of complete different age.

B.Her teacher has a positive influence on her.

C.There are some boys and girls sharing the room together.

D.The author wrote an email to her English teacher as he was handsome.

3.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s teacher?

A.Humorous and handsome. B.Serious and knowledgeable.

C.Outgoing and respected D.Caring and courageous

4.What does the author want to share in the article?

A.Communication is the key to success.

B.When we are trapped in difficulty, we can ask others for help.

C.We are supposed to be admitted to a famous university.

D.As long as we have determination, we can make it one day.

Wanda Butts dropped the phone and screamed when she heard the news that her son was dead. Josh had drowned(溺亡) while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16-year-old didn’t know how to swim, and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket.

Josh was not alone in the black community. USA Swimming points that 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to an official survey, African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range.

In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, a non-profit(非营利组织) that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total of 10$. Up to now, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.

“The public pools near our home are closed, and other places are not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer. “I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we’re thankful for that.”

Butts is doing much more, however, than just providing swimming lessons.

“She ups the awareness(意识),” said Shaun Anderson, a swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University. “Once these communities(群体) learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations that know how to swim.

Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim every day instead of just once a week.

1.What led to Josh’s drowning?

A. He was poor in boating skills.　　 B. He was careless when swimming in the lake.

C. He was never taught swimming skills.　　 D. He gave his life jacket to a friend.

2.Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?

A. To remind black parents not to let their children get near waters.

B. To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.

C. To blame(责备) the government for not treating the black equally.

D. To show many African-American children don’t have swimming skills.

3.What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?

A. Helpful.　　 B. Expensive.

C. Interesting.　　 D. Difficult.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Learning how to swim is important.

B. Wanda Butts’ wishes for the future.

C. Free swimming lessons for African-American children.

D. A mother helps thousands of children learn to swim.

What was your favorite sport during your childhood? Maybe running around the playground or jumping rope for hours would bring you pleasure. At that time you weren’t thinking of health, you were just thinking of entertainment(娱乐). But in this age of high-tech home equipment, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. I think rediscovering it probably will give you a total-body exercise.

Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never been widely accepted because of two reasons. First, most people consider jumping rope to be an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many　 people regard it as a little boring and overly repetitive —not as something fun or enjoyable.

As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find proper ways to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳) over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double –bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .

Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres（半球）to perform equally to each other . In a word, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.

1.One reason that can explain why rope jumping has not spread widely is that_____.

A. it is believed to be boring and repetitive

B. it is too difficult for people to learn to jump

C. it benefits the cardiovascular system

D. it requires little equipment, time and space

2.The first sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that　　　　　 in rope jumping .

A. there is only one proper way to follow

B. the usual way should not be used again

C. the easiest way is always the best one

D. there are different kinds of ways to follow

3.According to the researchers, jumping rope 　　　　　 .

A. only prepares the brain for learning

B. is suitable for students only

C. helps both brain hemispheres work together

D. can be dangerous for old people

4.What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping?

A. He strongly argues against it.

B. He is sitting on the fence of it .

C. He is for it.

D. He knows little about it .

When I was growing up, Mother’s Day was as important as Christmas.

The energy around the house was always positive, mostly thanks to my father who made sure that his kids appreciated their mother. We would clean the house, and Mum got breakfast in bed in the morning and didn't have to lift a finger all day. And in the evening, we went to a restaurant for a traditional Mother’s Day dinner.

What I learned from my father over the years, was that no matter what, he always put my mother before himself. He absolutely loved her and never let her forget that.

I maintain(保持) my father’s Mother’s Day tradition with my wife. Growing up, I learned that showing affection to the woman you love or who gave birth to you is an important part of life. You see, it goes both ways, and the love you have for your mother comes back to you again and again.

Believing that and feeling it when you can may keep you from being lonely, even if your mum isn’t close by or has passed away. There are a number of us who no longer have a mother in our lives, and truth be told, there are often times when I wish my mum were still here to comfort me. So instead, I remember the times she did just that. It makes me smile, and somehow, those memories of a more simple and loving life give me the comfort I’m looking for.

If you are mum-less, you too should find a deserving woman in your life and celebrate Mother’s Day with her. If you don’t know anyone, there are plenty of lonely mums in rest homes who would enjoy your company for a couple of hours. The visit will make both of your days, and perhaps your lives, a little bit better.

1.What did the author (作者) learn from his father?

A. We should always put others before ourselves.

B. It’s necessary to express love to those we love.

C. It’s important to have an interesting family tradition.

D. Mother’s Day is just as important as Christmas.

2.Why does the author value the idea of showing love for one’s mother?

A. It can set a good example for kids to follow.

B. It is what mothers expect their children to do.

C. It’s important to follow your father’s rules.

D. It can warm your mother’s heart as well as yours.

3.What is the author’s advice to someone whose mum has passed away?

A. Visit lonely mums in rest homes on Mother’s Day.

B. Try to get used to life without a mum.

C. Turn to other family members for love.

D. Give all your attention to your mother-in-law.
