My 8-year-old son, Kevin, has made friends with some boys in the neighborhood. He has been      with them after school. My wife,Qugen, and I are       he has other kids to be with and we have      and encouraged him to play with his friends. We also want Kevin to learn    _,so we have asked him to tell us       he"s going and to come home at a specified time.
The      started when Kevin didn"t come home on time. On one occasion,I asked Kevin to be back at 6 pm. By 6:30,I needed to go       him. I found him at a friend"s house,and he looked       that he couldn"t continue playing. After we came home,I sat Kevin down for a talk about the       of keeping his word. I told him I was not worried about him arriving a few       late,but after half an hour,I’m going to be    . He told me he understood.
The next day,I came home from work at about 6:30 p.m. and Qugen asked me to go and get Kevin        she said he should be back home at 6. I walked to his friend"s house and a look of     appeared on Kevin"s face when he came to the door.
At     ,Qugen and I spoke to Kevin about why he didn"t come home on time again. He said he just wanted to       playing. This was      ,so Qugen and I decided to ground(罚不准出门)him for a week. This      no playing with his friends.
For the next week,whenever his friends came to ask for Kevin,we let him       to them that he was grounded. We felt this would help him be responsible for his      .
As a      ,I believe one of the most important things we can teach our kids is self-responsibility and that actions have consequences.

【1】People study their family history for different reasons. For some, genealogy(家谱学) is important to their religion(宗教信仰). Other people who get involved in genealogy may want to confirm (证实)stories they heard about a family member. Some people say their interest in genealogy came from an eight-part series on television called Roots. Roots was first broadcast in 1977 and was based on a book which describes how the author’s ancestor, long ago in Africa, as slave was brought to America. After watching Roots, many Americans wanted to study ________________.
【2】Finding family roots is not always easy. So how exactly does someone start a genealogical research?
【3】Experts say you should start with yourself. Write down your own history. One idea is to ask your parents what they can remember about their parents or grandparents. You can often find a lot of information in family pictures, letters and other documents.
【4】Resources on local history may also provide useful information. Large libraries may have hundreds of helpful books. In the United States, several groups have large collections of genealogical materials. These collections are open to the public.
【5】Governments often have many helpful records of genealogies. Governments usually keep official copies of birth, marriage and death records. Local governments may have copies of wills. These statements of final wishes often contain details about a person’s life and wealth.
【6】Today, many people use the Internet. There are thousands of websites related to genealogy. They can guide people to historical records and provide information about how to write down their family’s history.

All across California, honeybees are flying away from their hives(蜂箱) and dying. Empty hives are causing a lot of worry about some important food crops.
Bees give us a lot more than delicious honey. They are pollinators(授粉者)—they enable plants to produce the fruits and nuts we enjoy by carrying pollen from one plant or flower to the next. The wind pollinates oats, corn, and wheat, but many other plants (like apple and cherry trees and melon vines) depend on insects, bats, and birds. In the U.S., millions and millions of bees kept by human beekeepers fly around doing a lot of this important work for food crops. “Bees are worth protecting because their work adds so much to our diet,” says Dr. Jeff Pettis of the Bee Research Laboratory.
California’s almond (杏仁) crop alone depends on about half the bees in the country. But now the almond crop and many others could be in trouble with so many bees dying.
Researchers at government and university labs all over the country are trying to figure out why so many bees are dying. However, bees are hard to study. Most die away from the hive, so researchers don’t have dead bodies to examine. And when researchers return to a hive after two weeks, about half the bees they studied on their first visit will be dead, replaced by new ones in the natural life cycle of bees. “It isn’t like studying a large animal like a cow that doesn’t move around much and is easy to find out in the cow field,” says Pettis.
Researchers have some ideas about what could be affecting bee health. They could be sick from poisons widely used to kill insects, or they might not be getting enough good food to stay strong. Also, tiny insects called mites feed on bees. “A virus or bacteria could also be doing the killing.” explains Pettis.
小题1:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The wind helps pollinate.
B.Bees are important in food crops.
C.Bees give us a lot of delicious honey.
D.Cherry trees are pollinated by bees.
小题2:Bees are hard to study because ____________.
A.they move around too much
B.new bees soon replace all the bees studied by researchers
C.they are too tiny
D.they never return to hives
小题3:What could cause so many bees to die?
A.Poisons to kill birds.B.Eating too much.
C.Large insects.D.Some virus.
小题4:What can we learn from the article?
A.A large number of bees have died in the hive.
B.Without bees, some foods would disappear from our diet.
C.Only researchers in California want to know what kills bees.
D.Large animals are easier to study than tiny insects.

A recent experiment held in Japan shows that it is almost impossible for people to walk exactly straight for 60 metres. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and asked them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 metres away at normal speed. Each man had to walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor wearing wet colored socks. The footprints revealed that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line. Researchers found that people readjust the direction of walking every few seconds. The amount of the winding differed from subject to subject. This suggests that none of us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because of a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs (四肢). Although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction.
Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closed, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight.
It’s all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure which contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows. When you spin (旋转) the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, thus you walk in a curved line.
小题1:The experiment held in Japan proved that _______.
A.the participants kept readjusting their direction of walking
B.all the participants had a good sense of direction
C.the experiment was done in different ways
D.none of the participants finished the 60 metres
小题2:The underlined word “subject” in Para. 1 refers to ________.
A.a person with a functional imbalance
B.a person chosen to be studied in an experiment
C.the subject one studies at school
D.the direction of walking
小题3:The purpose of writing the article is to ________.
A.prove that ears and eyes help us to walk straight
B.explain why we can hardly walk in a strictly straight line
C.point out the importance of noticing everyday science
D.give background information about a latest study

Women work harder than men at university and get better degrees as a result, according to a study at Brunel University.
The research, which followed 200 students for four years, found that women consistently outperformed men in their studies even though they had started their courses with almost identical A-level grades.
An analysis of the results showed that while 65 percent of female graduates were awarded, only 35 percent of male graduates did as well. Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this research showed that trend continued at university.
Fiona Smith, who led the research, said, “The research shows that the difference has something to do with schools in general.”
“It also shows something about the inequality for working women in terms of pay and promotion. Women work harder at school, harder at university, and do better at both, but they still receive less pay.”
The research found that female students were more faithful, less likely to miss lectures, and more likely to believe that their marks reflected their abilities than male students. Female students were also more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors.
Women were also more likely to choose their universities because they liked the courses offered.
In contrast, men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to “other affairs” and “laziness”, and to believe that playing sports was an important part of university life.
Generally, people think that women’s success comes from more emphasis on coursework, but the research showed that female geographers at Brunel did better in their exams than in their coursework.
Dr Smith said, “Most women feel that getting good grades is the most important part of university life. They believe that they need to work harder in order to compete in the male-dominated (男性主导的) environment they will encounter at work. Good grades are viewed as an ‘insurance policy’ for success. Men, on the other hand, prefer going out and playing sports to academic work.”
“This research shows how important it is to get all young people working hard and teach them the value of higher education,” he said.
小题1:The research at Brunel University showed that women ________.
A.did worse than men both at school and at university
B.got better grades than men
C.paid little attention to their courses
D.often missed classes
小题2:Which of the following about men is TRUE according to the passage?
A.They work as hard as women.
B.They spend as much time on courses as women.
C.They play a lot more than women.
D.They consider good grades to be an “insurance policy” for success.
小题3:We can infer from the results of the research that ________.
A.women do better both at school and at university
B.female students are more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors
C.compared with men, women are in an unfavorable condition in the male-dominated world
D.it’s easier for women to get rises in pay and promotion
小题4:The main purpose of the research is to _________.
A.give the government some advice on higher education
B.show us some information about higher education
C.show the sex difference in higher education
D.make all students work hard and realize the importance of higher education

Researches at Johns  Hopkins University"s. Applied Physics laboratory  ( APL)  in Laurel , Maryland have designed a new human-like robot, Its name is Robo Sally. The machine can be controlled from a distance and can he used to do work that is dangerous for human beings.
Roho Sally has two long arms with human-like hands. She can use her fingers to pick up  small objects .examine them in detail and do most things that human hands can do Each finger  contains a tiny motor capable of squeezing 20 pounds of pinch foree ,.enough to defuse a bomb  under the direction of an operator. She sits on a metal base with wheels that let her move around. turn in tight spaces and climb over small objects, .
Mike McLoughlin is the main investigator for the Applied Physics Laboratory"s Prosthetics  Program. "The purpose of that program is to develop prosthetic arms that have all the capability  of your natural arms .and you do all the complex motions that we can do with the natural arm- with the robot. "
It was a difficult job. Mr. McLoughlin says the device had to have many small motors to。 have the ability to do what a human hand does; It  also needs to have human-like strength. The  thumb was especially difficult because it permits the hand .to hold objects. And everything had.   to fit into a space about the size of a human hand.
The next problem  .he says .was to figure out how to control the artificial hand. " So we had   to figure out how to make the connection between the brain and this arm.
For search-and-rescue duties.Roho Sally will be operated by a human being using a wire- less machine that is far from the robot. The operator will also wear special gloves and glasses.  The glasses permit the operator to see the robot"s hands .even though they are far away.
Mr. McLoughlin says this kind of robots could be used in what he calls "dull , dirty or dan- gerous" situations where fine human finger movements are required. He says the technology is  not ready for everyday application .but he predicts that within five years we will see some won-  derful improvements.
小题1:The underlined word " defuse"  in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "_________".
A.removeB.discoverC.equipD.produce
小题2:According to Paragraph 2.which picture is Robo Sally?

小题3:What can we learn ahout the prosthetic arms according to the passage?
A.They are expected to function as well as natural ones.
B.They have many large motors controlled by robots.
C.They have human-like strength to control the robot.
D.They are connected with human brains.
小题4:Which of the following is true about Robo Sally according to Mr. McLoughlin?
A . Its operator doesn"t need  any  equipment.
B. It has been Widely used in everyday life in the USA.
C. It can work in situations which are dangerous for humans.
D. It has made much money for the designer.
