Chinese are very generous (慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet(芭蕾舞), or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence (自信). The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(唤起) his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. 小题1:Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.A.are too strict with their children | B.are too rich to educate their children | C.have some problems in educating their children correctly | D.are too poor to educate their children | 小题2: The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.A.the parents’ ideas of educating their children | B.the education system | C.children’s skills | D.children’s hobbies | 小题3:Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.A.learn how to serve their parents | B.learn how to become strong and fat | C.benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future | D.make their parents believe that they are clever | 小题4:According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.A.broken radios and television sets are useful | B.one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life | C.an engineer must fix many broken radios | D.a good student should spend much time repairing radios |

Shanghai: Car rentals (出租)are becoming more and more popular as an inexpensive way of taking to roads. Business people, foreign and families alike are making good use of the growing industry. The first car rental firm opened in Shanghai in 1992 an dnow 12 car rental players are in the game, with more than 11,500 cars in their books. The largest player-Shangha Bashi Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety of choices-deluxe sedans, minivans, station wagons, coaches. Santana sedans are the big favorite.

For many employers, Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites are already a threat (威胁) that cut into productivity.Now they have something else to worry about—the games hosted by these sites. This new type of social gaming is called "asynchronous" gaming and allows people to play with their friends without having to be online at the same time.The low-intensity (低强度) engagement has made games such as FarmVille, Cafe World and Pet Society popular among employees who often log on during office hours. "What we are seeing is that more and more people and organizations are recognizing the productivity lost so probably more chief information officers are blocking Facebook applications," Rebecca Wettemann of Nucleus Research said. Boston-based Nucleus Research, which conducted a recent study into the effects of social networking sites on productivity, said nearly half of office employees in the United States access social networking sites at work, which leads to an average loss of 1.5 percent of total office productivity. Facebook, which has 350 million users, says at least 20 percent of its members play games online.Sebastien de Halleux, CEO and co-founder of online game creator Playfish, said Asia is growing at a faster pace than other regions."We had no idea that it would spread so fast...when we had 100,000 users after one month, we thought it was the biggest success ever.Now with 60 million users we think this is only the beginning of something much bigger," he added. Zynga"s FarmVille, the best known game with over 70 million active users to date, allows players to own a virtual farm where they can grow crops and raise animals. While companies try to limit access to social networking sites, not everyone sees the games as harmful. 61.We can learn that Pet Society is a game _____. A.popular among employers B.without having to be online C.merely played during office hours D.that can be played online at a different time 62.It can be inferred from the passage that ____. A.Playfish is owned by Sebastien and Rebecca B.Playfish has over 70 million active users to date C.Asia will be the largest potential market for Playfish D.Playing online games loses 1.5 percent of total office productivity 63.The best title of the passage would be ____. A.Social Network Gaming B.New Threat to Productivity C.Social Networking Sites D.Latest Survey on Productivity 64.What would most probably be discussed next after the last paragraph? A.Opinions in favor of online games. B.Measures to limit access to social networking sites. C.Suggestions on how to improve productivity. D.More examples about the bad effects of online games. |
I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum (乞丐). “I hope he doesn’t ask me for any money,” I thought. He didn’t. He came and sat on the curb (路边) in front of the bus stop but he didn’t look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke,“That’s a very pretty car.” He was ragged (衣衫褴褛的) but he had an air of dignity. I said “Thanks” and continued wiping off my car. He sat there quietly as I worked. “Do you need any help?” I asked. He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget. “Don’t we all?” he said. I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a shotgun. Don’t we all? I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Maybe the man was just a homeless stranger wandering the streets. Maybe he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by a power that is great and wise, to minister to a soul too comfortable with himself. Don’t we all? Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have accomplished, you need help too. And you never know when you may see someone that appears to have it all. They are waiting for you to give them what they don’t have. 1. What was the writer doing when he met the homeless person? A. Shopping. B. Cleaning his car. C. Admiring his car. D. Parking his car. 2. What does the underlined phrase “high and mighty” mean? A. Tall. B. On top of the world.C. Strong and powerful. D. Filled with false pride. 3. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s feelings about himself after the encounter? A. He felt a new sense of pride. B. Inspired and humble. C. Great and wise. D. Successful and important. 4. What does the article tell us? A. We should help those less fortunate than ourselves. B. Helping a person indirectly is preferable to direct, obvious help. C. All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need help from others and should offer help ourselves. D. Money is all important in life. |
