Slow parenting means parenting children in the contact of nature without any interference (干預(yù)) of materialistic influence. We can also term it as “self-raising”. In slow parenting children are allowed to do what they think proper and parents just keep a watch over the child. Curiosity of the child leads to exploring and discovering things. Parents provide little help only when it’s too necessary, otherwise keep themselves away from the child and just have a look on him/her: This brings about a feeling of self-dependency and they are encouraged to solve their problems.
This is a natural way of learning. When a child is left to learn in a natural environment, the child’s natural development takes place. Influence of any materialistic way doesn’t let the mind develop naturally. Watching TV, playing video games or joining classes of dance, swimming or any other sports will not let the mind develop naturally.
Here creativity of their mind is developed. They explore ideas. The logic behind this is that the kids of animals learn by nature, so can our kids. So let our children play in the garden, to watch flowers, plants, birds, butterflies and other gifts of nature. In the classes of dance, swimming etc. their creativity is influenced and their natural creativity is suppressed (壓制). In these classes they are overburdened and can’t train their creativity. So let them play in the open air or garden without any burden instead of joining classes.
Generally parents give toys to their children and explain how to operate them. But those parents who believe in slow parenting give toys and observe how the children are managing them. Their skill to learn and understand comes out. Maybe the process is slow, but it will be their exploration, which will make them self-dependent, and self-capable to learn.
小題1:In slow parenting, parents ______.
A．set limits to what their children do
B．keep a close watch over their children
C．give the whole directions to what their children do
D．give their children freedom to do what they think proper
小題2: What is the main advantage of slow parenting according to the passage?
A．Arousing children’s curiosity.
B．Helping children to be independent.
C．Making children interested in exploring nature.
D．Keeping children away from materialistic influence.
小題3:We can infer from the third paragraph that______.
A．children should join some classes
B．slow parenting should be done in a logical way
C．exploring nature is a good way of slow parenting
D．children can’t learn by nature like the kids of animals
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Slow parenting and its advantages. B．Different parenting styles.
C．The requirements of slow parenting. D．The author’s opinion on slow parenting.

According to the dictionary definition of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(質(zhì)地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重組) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
小題1:“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
A．a(chǎn) new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B．a(chǎn) new thing is only a tale
C．we can seldom create new things
D．we can hardly see really new things in the world
小題2:What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A．It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B．To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D．One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
小題3:The best title for this passage is__________.
A．How to Develop One’s CreativityB．What Is Creativity
C．The Importance of CreativityD．Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

It might sound ridiculous that goal setting could actually hold you back from completing tasks and dreams you may have. But it seems like everyone tells you should be setting goals for everything you want to accomplish, short term and long term. Goals can help you sometimes, but in some cases they just lead to constant frustration and they actually bring you down.
Let’s look at this a little closer with an example. A lot of people might set forth as a goal. Many people jump online and are looking to start a business online as a way to make money from home and let’s say they set a goal to make $10,000 in their first month. They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little time so they think, $10,000 a month, that shouldn’t be too hard.
But what happens when you only bring in $1,000 in your first 30 days online? If this is pure profit you might still be happy but this is nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet. So naturally you would feel like you failed to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself.
If you continue not to reach this goal month in month , it starts to add up and really weighs on you. I’m not saying that they are bad and you shouldn’t set them but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached to your goals.
An alternative approach would be to set certain milestones for when you want to accomplish things and start out small. Build your confidence by accomplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce, then it will be a nice surprise. You have to have some sort of end result in mind but break it down in to a day by day task. It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing everyday you have to complete a few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things.
小題1:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A．show that it’s necessary to set goals
B．prove the disadvantages of setting goals
C．suggest way of setting goals to reach success
D．introduce how to reach success by setting high goals.
小題2:In Paragraph 2 , the writer used the example to _______.
A．persuade readers not to be greedy for money
B．prove that goals often result in frustration.
C．show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreams
D．a(chǎn)dvise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration
小題3:According to the passage, always sticking to our goals is ______.
A．important B．unnecessaryC．ridiculousD．natural
小題4:What belief does the writer most probably hold?
A．The higher goals we set, the more success we’ll achieve
B．Goal setting is not always necessary and helpful
C．We shouldn’t set higher goals than other people
D．Goals should be set for short term and long term.
小題5:What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?
A．Another helpful tip for setting goalsB．Benefits of setting small goal
C．Side effects of goal settingD．Success achieved without goal setting.

Recreational tree climbing is taking root in the ecotourism industry, and it's sending guys like Tim Kovar to far off reaches of the globe. Kovar, a tree-climbing instructor, recently returned to the U.S. from Brazil, where he spent time developing a tree-climbing operation thanks to the "slow travel" movement.
Slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cooking—the kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy. Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a place's natural surroundings and learn about the ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games.
"Tree climbing is a slow activity," says Kovar. "It's not something you do quickly and then you're on to the next thing or event." There is no such thing as a quick climb, especially for beginners. This wasn't a race against the clock or the fellow climbers. In fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever become a feature of the extreme games. Many climbers refuse competition. There has already been so much competition in the world.
"When you stand below the tree, it can be amazing," Rusel DeMaria says, looking affectionately up at Michael's Triumph, a 150-foot-tall tree. But reaching the treetop, he adds, is an entirely different feeling. Likewise, his wife, Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michael's Triumph for permission to climb. "It goes a lot smoother that way, "She says.
And climbing has been included into many educational programs. New Tribe offers guided climbs through its school, Tree Climbing Northwest, where "we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students," says New Tribe present Sophis Sparks. "We know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees. After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation. This is not just to preserve their playground."
Perhaps that is why he struggles with the term "recreational tree climbing," saying, "I prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing."
小題1:What do slow travel and the slow food movement have in common?
A．They take people a long time.B．They are related to the eco-tourism industry.
C．They advocate protecting nature.D．They cost people little money
小題2:What do we know about tree climbing from the passage?
A．People compete to see who can climb to the top first.
B．It favors the experience of enjoying nature.
C．It is a kind of extreme sport and needs a lot of effort.
D．People view it as a challenge to climb the tallest tree in a forest.
小題3:Brumbaugh kneels on the ground before climbing trees to ___________________.
A．beg for the safety of climbingB．Expect to climb faster than her husband
C．Show respect for the treeD．a(chǎn)sk for permission of her husband
小題4:Sophia Sparks prefers the term "inspirational tree climbing" because it ____________.
A．provide people with more chances to play outside
B．bring a lot of pleasure to life
C．Deepens personal love between each other
D．Makes people realize they should protect trees
小題5:What's the best title for the passage?
A．Tree-climbing travellingB．Slow travel movements
C．Dangers of climbingD．Respect for nature

Recently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true, the time of day when you feel most energetic (full of energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(top). For some people the peak comes during the forenoon(上午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.
Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has.
You cannot change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. “Habits can help,” Dr. Cleiman believes. If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.
小題1: Dr. Cleiman did not explain in the passage ___________.
A．how people can make their life fit their cycle
B．whether everyone has a daily cycle or not
C．why people have their energy cycle of body at different times
D．what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has
小題2:For what reason may husbands and wives quarrel with each other?
A．Either of them gets up late in the morning.
B．Husbands and wives have different cycles of energy.
C．Either of them wants to change the cycle of the other’s.
D．They do not know which cycle they themselves have.
小題3:According to the passage,____________.
A．one should get up earlier if he wants to work better at his low point in the morning
B．one can change his cycle
C．whenever you feel hot, your energy cycle reaches the highest
D．your cycle must be in the morning if you can get up early
小題4:Which of the following can save your energy in the morning?
A．Getting up late.B．Jumping out of bed as quickly as possible.
C．Looking for clean clothes.D．Sitting for a while before getting out of bed.
小題5: Which of the following statements is wrong?
A．If you know your cycle you can make good use of time.
B．If you know your cycle you can change it to fit your life.
C．Father and son do not necessarily have the same cycle.
D．Having a habit of doing something can make people affected less by their energy cycle.

Many English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have. A US accent, perhaps modeled on the way a Hollywood star speaks? Or maybe you want to imitate（模仿） the British accent of a BBC news reader?
Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Let’s listen to what they have to say.
Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UK
A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl- next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle that is really sassy(時髦). A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang（鼻音） had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.
To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people.
Jennifer Sun, 16, from New Jersey, US
From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.
Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.
The English accent seems almost like art.
小題1:In Stephen Yang’s opinion, accents just show__________.
A．the beauty of the languageB．how the language is spoken
C．the cultural differences of the speakers D．the fashion of the day
小題2:The underlined word “cute “probably means__________.
A．strangeB．excitingC．a(chǎn)ttractiveD．fashionable
小題3:Many American girls watch Harry Porter again and again in order to __________.
A．learn the acting skills of the these stars
B．learn the magic performed by Harry Potter
C．imitate the actors’ accents
D．know more about British English
小題4:What is probably the best title for this passage?
A．British English and American English
B．British Accent or American Accent
C．American English Accent is Most Accepted
D．The difference between British Accent and American Accent.
