It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（运动鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
小题1:The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.| A．start | B．study | C．find | D．teach |
小题2: The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.| A．what to know about a new school | | B．how to prepare for a new school | | C．what to do on your first day of school | | D．how to spend your first day of school |

Learning is natural. It begins as soon as we were born. Our 36 teachers are our families. At home we learn to talk and to 37 and feed ourselves.
Then we go to school. A teacher tells us 38 to learn and how to learn. Many teachers teach us, and we pass many 39 .Then people say we are 40 .
Are you really educated? Let’s think about the real meaning of 41 .Knowing facts does not 42 being able to solve(解决) problems. Solving problems 43 creativity(创造性),not just a good 44 .Some people who don’t know many 45 are good at solving problems.
Henry Ford is a good 46 .He left school at the age of 15. Later when his company could not build cars 47 enough, he solved the problem. He 48 of the assembly line(装配线).
What does a good teacher do? Does he give students facts to 49 ? Well, yes, we must remember facts. But a good teacher 50 how to find answers. He brings us to the 51 of knowledge so we can drink for ourselves. When we are thirsty, we know where to go.
True learning combines(结合) intake(输入) and output. We take information 52 our brains. Then we use it. Think of a 53 —it stores a lot of information, but it can’t think. It only obeys commands. A person 54 only remembers facts hasn’t really learned. Learning takes 55 only when a person can use what he knows.

Remember those big, colorful books with large pictures of balls or apples when you were a little kid? Those have proven to be helpful, according to a number of studies. Between 1 and 5 years old, introducing books to Children can help greatly because this is usually the age when intellectual (智力的) capabilities form.
At age 1 to 5, a child can decide whether he wants to learn or wants to be a good learner. The road to learning starts here. Their curiosity (好奇) and imagination are fed with the many pictures, sounds and colors in the books.
Children normally began school at 5 years old. But today, they go to school when they are as young as one and a half years old. This is because many parents have recognized that influencing the child"s formative years (性格形成时期) is very important. The fight influence can make the child want to read in the future.
Parents should play a part in encouraging children to read. Even just reading them bedtime stories can help children feel the joy and amazement connected to reading. This can help them become better readers and better learners as they grow older.
If children are interested in reading books rather than watching television, they can improve many skills besides reading and learning. Books can act as stepping stones to intelligence. However, parents must be very careful not to overpower their children. If they force children to read books that are too hard to understand, they might think reading is boring and lose interest in it.
小题1:. This passage mainly ______.| A．advises kids to spend less time watching TV | | B．explains why reading is good for us | | C．tells us that reading is good for children | | D．suggests that parents spend more time with their kids |
小题2:.Why does introducing books to kids between 1 and 5 years old help them greatly?| A．Because this is a good way to keep them away from television. | | B．Because it makes them become interested in going to school. | | C．Because it helps them learn much faster when they are older. | | D．Because it is usually the age when intellectual capabilities form. |
小题3:.It is implied in the passage that _____.| A．the writer read a lot of books when he was a child | | B．parents should never force their children to do anything | | C．the formative years may begin at one and a half years old | | D．a child"s formative years are earlier than before |
小题4:.In the writer’s opinion, _____.| A．children should read all kinds of books | | B．children should only read books with pictures | | C．books can help children become cleverer | | D．bedtime stories make children love their parents more |

You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places;
1. Chinese character are written in the complex(复杂的)form. Although simplified(简单的) Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.
2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.
3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. “Ba”(霸), which means bully(巨大的)in Chinese, is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with “Ba” in their names.
4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures(结构). “Ai ni mei shang liang”, which means “I love you without consulting”, is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an idea shared by many others and myself.

2010 was the year the Earth struck back.
Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards (暴风雪), landslides and droughts killed at least a quarter million people in 2010 – the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.
“It just seemed like it was back-to-back(接二连三) and it came in waves,” said Craig Fugate, who heads the US Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.
“The term “100-year event’ really lost its meaning this year.”
And we have ourselves to blame most of the time, scientists and disaster experts say.
Even though many disasters have the ring of random chance, the hand of man made this a particularly deadly, costly, extreme and strange year for everything from wild weather to earthquakes.
Poor construction and development practices make earthquakes more deadly than they need be. More people live in poverty in vulnerable buildings（危房） in crowded cities. That means that when the ground shakes, the river floods, or the tropical cyclone hits, more people die.
Disasters from the Earth, such as earthquakes and volcanoes “are pretty much constant,” said Andreas Schraft, vice president of catastrophic perils for the Geneva-based insurance giant Swiss Re. “All the change that’s made is man-made.”
The January earthquake that killed well more than 220,000 people in Haiti is a perfect example. Port-au-Prince has nearly three times as many people – many of them living in poverty- and more poorly built shanties(棚户区) ,than it did 25 years ago. So had the same quake hit in 1985 instead of 2010; total deaths would have probably been in the 80,000 range, said Richard Olson, director of disaster risk reduction at Florida International University.
Climate scientists say Earth’s climate also is changing thanks to man-made global warming, bringing extreme weather, such as heat waves and flooding.
The excessive(过多的) amount of extreme weather that dominated 2010 is a classic sign of man-made global warming that climate scientists have long warned about. They calculate that the killer Russian heat wave – setting a national record of 111 degrees – would happen once every 100,000 years without global warming.
Data show that 18 countries broke their records for the hottest day ever.
“The Earth strikes back in response to bad human decision-making,” said Debarati Guha Sapir.” “It’s almost as if the policies, the government policies and development policies, are helping the Earth strike back instead of protecting from it. We’ve created conditions where the slightest thing the Earth does is really going to have a surprising impact.” White House science adviser John Holdren said we should get used to climate disasters or do something about global warming. “The science is clear that we can expect more and more of these kinds of damaging events unless and until society has sharply reduced the amount of heat-trapping gases and particles(颗粒).”
小题1:From paragraph 1 to paragraph 3, we learn ___________________________.| A．what natural disasters mean to the people all over the world | | B．how terrorism attacks struck in the past four decades | | C．how the Earth struck back in 2010 | | D．why the world saw so many disasters in 2010 |
小题2:The author gives the example of the big earthquake in Haiti to show that ___________ .| A．poor construction largely accounts for more deaths than expected | | B．man’s behaviours are to blame for the constant occurrence of natural disasters | | C．the extreme weather mainly contributes to the disaster of the quake | | D．the country’s poverty and over- crowdedness results in the disaster |
小题3: Which of the following would Debarati Guha Sapir most probably agree with?| A．Environment protection should be taken into account in policy-making. | | B．Natural disasters are causing increase. | | C．The earth wouldn’t strike back but for the destruction by man. | | D．Conditions should be created to rid the influence of disasters. |
小题4: According to John Holdren, the best way to cut back on the number of natural disasters is __________________ .| A．to forecast the happening of natural disasters accurately | | B．to build stronger houses that can stand severe earthquakes and floods | | C．to make better decisions and policies of city development | | D．to send out much fewer greenhouse gases and particles |
小题5:What is the real concern of the writer of this article?| A．The major causes of natural disasters. | | B．The human unawareness of environment protection. | | C．The harmonious relationship between humans and nature. | | D．The serious results of global warming and earthquakes. |
