举一反三
When I was a foreign teacher in China，every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China．One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”．I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers，nor had their mothers said it to them．“Does your mom love you?” “Of course，”they answered．
“How do you know it?” was my logical question．They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring．I was strummed. So mom"s cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough，so I repeated these queries in classes over time．Gradually，I began to get different responses．Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms．
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl．When she came home from university，her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her．This had never happened before，but her mom said，“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.”I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you．”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot．While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment，and it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning，even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love．
小题1:The foreign teacher _________．| A．comes from America | B．is a young woman | | C．is expressive enough | D．knows much about China |
小题2:Chinese students prefer to show love by __________．| A．saying “I love you” | B．cooking | | C．getting good grades | D．doing something helpful |
小题3:In paragraph 4, what"s the real meaning of the mom"s hugging?| A．She is meeting her daughter at the door． | | B．She loves her daughter and misses her． | | C．She is glad that she has more time to herself． | | D．She finds it interesting to hug her daughter． |
小题4:In paragraph 5, what can we know from the sentence “ In my family we all say ‘I love you’ a lot” ?| A．“I love you.” is a daily greeting. | | B．“ Love” is the most important word in our country. | | C．They worry about each other. | | D．“I love you” are the last words we say or hear from those we love. |
小题5:What"s the main idea of the passage?| A．Say “I love you” more to your family． | | B．Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people． | | C．Say “I love you” as a greeting to others． | | D．Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings． |

Old Cremona Violins
Most musicians(音乐家) agree that the best violins(小提琴) were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments(乐器) like the Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.
Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special(特殊的). So age cannot be the answer.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees.
But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape(形状). The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.
Size and shape may not be the answer, either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.
小题1:The passage is about .| A．making violins | B．musical instruments | | C．scientific ideas | D．the old Italian violins |
小题2:Other people think the Italian violin makers .| A．did not know much about violins | B．were lucky | | C．used many kinds of wood | D．knew something special |
小题3:Violins made today .| A．have the same size and shape as the old ones | | B．sound the same as the old ones | | C．are better than the old ones | | D．have the same varnish as the old ones |
小题4:Some scientists believe that the secret of the old violins was .| A．their sound | B．their colour | C．their varnish | D．the music |

What do you think are the most important inventions of the past 2,000 years? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones.
Paper is one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printing and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.
One of the simplest (最简单) inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common (普通的) in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay (干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting far-sighted (远视) from the age of 45. Glasses mean that anyone can read, write and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
小题1:Cai Lun’s invention of paper makes it possible to ______.| A．have printing | B．feed animals | | C．drink clean water | D．do “close work” |
小题2:The invention of the toilet can stop people from ______. | A．saving water | B．getting ill | | C．living in big cities | D．finding clean water |
小题3:Why couldn’t the animals live through the winter?| A．It was very cold in winter. | B．They didn’t have enough food to eat. | | C．They had no drinking water. | D．They died of illness. |
小题4:From the last paragraph we learn that ______. | A．all people need reading glasses | | B．anyone must do “close work” after 45 | | C．reading glasses are useful | | D．life is more difficult for the people under 45 |
