My First Day
I was still shy in the presence of a crowd. And my first day at the new 36 made me a laughing stock（笑柄） of the classroom .I was sent to the blackboard to write my 37 . I knew my name, and knew how to write it , but standing at the blackboard with the 38 of so many pupils on my back made me 39 inside and I was unable to write a single letter.
“Write your name,” the teacher called to me. I 40 the white chalk to the blackboard, as I was about to write, my mind went blank, I could not remember my name, 41 the first letter. Somebody laughed and I became 42 .
“Just forget us and write your name,” the teacher called and walked to my side, 43 at me to give me confidence.
“What is your name?” she asked.
“Richard,” I 44
“Then write it.”
I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write, but then I was 45 again. I tried to 46 my senses but I could remember nothing. I realized how totally I was 47 and I grew weak and leaned my hot forehead 48 the cold blackboard. The room burst into a loud 49 and my muscles froze. I sat and 50 myself. Why did I always appear so dumb 51 I was called upon to perform in a crowd? I knew how to write as well as any other pupil in the classroom, and there was no 52 I could read better than any of them, and I could talk 53 when I was sure of myself. Then why did strange 54 make me freeze? I sat with my ears and neck 55 , hearing the pupils around me whisper, hating myself.

More and more often we heard of people talking about Karaoke (卡拉OK). But what on earth it is about still remains a question for many people. Karaoke is a sort of acoustic (听觉的) equipment which was invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970"s. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact, it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars, and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music. Therefore, at times, when anyone felt like it, he might sing songs to the accompaniment (陪伴) of the music that came from the equipment. Shortly after its invention, Karaoke was spread to the whole world. It was introduced to China and was welcomed by many people. Although you are not a good singer, or even sometimes you may sing out of tune, you can always enjoy yourself by singing Karaoke.
小题1:In this passage "band" means "group of persons ________."| A．who play games on the sports ground | | B．who play music together | | C．living in the same neighborhood | | D．doing things together under a leader and with a common purpose |
小题2: Karaoke is just a ______.| A．cassette tape with only music | B．cassette tape recorder | | C．band from Japan | D．voice recording equipment |

Do you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your pre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.
The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read. As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.
There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed. A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listen and respond. Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversation happens.
Have you watched you pre-school child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over? These experiences tell children that reading is fun. And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.
When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children’s reach.
The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines（日常生活）of everyday life.
小题1:The third paragraph tells us that parents can talk with their children__________.| A．during daily routines | B．only in quiet places | | C．in their spare time | D．when they are eager to walk |
小题2:During the process of learning to read, children may _________.| A．copy the action of the adults. | | B．prefer to talk with those of their own age. | | C．show no interest in reading at all. | | D．waste a lot of paper and other materials. |
小题3: When do children want to learn to write?| A．When their parents ask them to do so. | | B．When they believe they can write well. | | C．When they know what they want to know | | D．When they can connect letters with familiar words. |
小题4:The passage is written to _____________.| A．talk about parents’ influence on their children’s behavior | | B．encourage parents to set a good example to their children | | C．advise parents to make reading a part of their children’s daily life | | D．make parents believe in the importance of early reading |

Are you still wishing your friends and partners “Happy New Year”? In the first few days of a new year, we say these three words countless times. The ___16___ is that we say them almost without thinking. The result of such a wish is that it ___17___ its meaning and power.
Last month, I ___18___ Dada J P Vaswani’s first speech after his return from the US. The ___19___ of his speech was “In 2012, all will be fine”. While sharing one of his many ___20___ ideas, he said that while “Happy New Year” is a nice greeting, there’s a more beautiful and encouraging way to ___21___ others—“Happy New You!”
Those three ___22___ words show that New Year is a time to leave behind our ___23___ and step forward. It’s the time to renew ourselves by getting rid of the negative things of the past — ___24___, pain and so on. It’s also the right time to give up thoughts of fear and failure.
For those who are ___25___ what to change, Dada has a simple suggestion: write down all the things that you don’t ___26___ about yourself… every single one. They could be small or big, easy or difficult — ___27___ write them all down. Putting them on ___28___ brings clearness of thought, which is the fi rst step towards bringing about any chang e.
So this New Year, let’s wish each other “Happy New You” and then ___29___ that trend all through the year. Each time you wish others, you will be ___30___ not only them but also yourself to leave behind sadness and the past — because it’s time for being Happy and New.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give th eir children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
A child may receive an allowance ea ch week or each month. The amount is not so important. But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.
Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.
Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they wan t. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the doo r to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.
小题1:The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT ______.| A．they can save more money for their future business | | B．they can give them to charities | | C．they may spend them on what they like | | D．they can learn to deal with money |
小题2:The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means "_____".小题3:What"s the main idea of the passage?| A．Children should save part of their allowance. | B．Don’t pay your chi ld for work around the home. | | C．Allowance helps teach children early about money. | D． Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish. |
小题4:How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned?小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Children are advised  to buy anything they wish to with the allowance. | | B．Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they get it. | | C．It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home. | | D．It is unnecessary for the children to save part of the allowance. |
