Annie had just begun school. Her parents were tired of the methods they were using to correct her behavior, including scolding (訓(xùn)斥), and taking away privileges (特權(quán)). Annie still needed to be scolded for her bad behavior, but her parents felt the good things she did needed to be recognized. So, they began to spend more time recognizing the improvements (改進(jìn)) in Annie’s behavior and the good things she did every day rather than like before when they only noticed her bad behavior. Within a few weeks Annie began to change her attitude and her behavior improved.
Praise is one of the most powerful tools parents can use to teach their children good skills and help them grow. Praise works well when it is given and when you remember to use it frequently. It is important to praise all good behavior. Look for the good things your child does. Praise will have a lot of effects on your child. Use the 4 to 1 rule. For every bad behavior you notice, find four good behaviors or reasons to praise. It is a good way to remember to look for good behavior.
Remember to praise the things your child has already done well, or improvements in his behavior and new skills. Show your agreement by smiling and touching his shoulder or back. Be sure to say what your child did well in detail. Tell your child how good behavior helps and that it is liked by others.
小題1:What was the result of recognizing Annie’s good behavior?
A．She started to correct her bad behavior.
B．She was tired of her parents’ scolding.
C．She was not scolded for her bad behavior.
D．She spent more time praising her good behavior.
小題2:When praising children’s good behavior, parents should do the following EXCEPT __________.
A．praising their children for what they did in detail
B．encouraging their children to go on doing good things
C．telling their children more about their bad behavior
D．praising their children in a good way with smiles
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Praising is a better way than scolding.

Not very long ago, a special family system(體系) existed in certain parts of South India. In the system, the actual head of a family unit was the mother’s eldest brother, though the mother also had an important position in the family. In families of this kind, a husband was actually no more than a visitor. He did not live with his wife, but with his own mother, brothers and sisters in another house. He saw his sons and daughters sometimes, but the man who actually fed and cared for them and acted as their father was their uncle--- their mother’s brother.
But this system, in which brothers and sisters take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)的) changes have had far- reaching effect on family life. Family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work, he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent(獨(dú)立的). This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relationships.
小題1: The best title of this passage is ______.
A．Husband Actually Visitor in Family
B．Family System in South India
C．Wife Has Important Position in Family
D．Economic Relations Affects Family Relationships
小題2: Who had the actual control of a family in South India not long ago?
A．The mother.B．The mother’s eldest brother.

The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.

A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
小題1:What is the best title of the text?
A．The guide of Admongo
B．An education website for children
C．A popular online video game
D．A website aimed at children
小題2:Why did the government start the website?
A．To attract the biggest market of buyers.
B．To sell the products of its company.
C．To help children know about advertising.
D．To advertise the video game for children.
小題3:What can players do in the website game?
A．Choose hair styles for their character.
B．Travel to a supermarket.
C．Eat in a fast-food restaurant.
D．Play video games during the trip.
小題4:Children are important for advertising because they are        .
A．important for the society
B．the most potential buyers
C．easily influenced by ads
D．easily affected by poor products
小題5:According to Michelle Obama, lots of food advertised for children are ________.
A．healthyB．of high nutrition

A new study has been carried to test the role of story telling in lowering blood pressure. Dr. Thomas Houston, a professor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, led a group of scientists that researched how pre-recorded videos of hypertension (高血壓) patients' talking about their medical histories helped another group of patients with high blood pressure to control their condition over several months.
Houston was surprised by their studies that suggested that communication can be a powerful tool in medicine. They showed that those who had had similar experiences, when talking to someone with a similar background, could help change their behavior to become healthier. Hypertension is difficult to control, since it is dependent on diet, exercise and mental state. Medical treatments with drugs, and lifestyle therapies(療法) have been relatively ineffective because people find it hard to follow those medical requirements.
In the test, his team carefully chose their story-tellers from 230 members of a patients' community with whom they could most easily relate. Next, they divided their study population into two groups. One received three interactive DVDs containing the tellers' stories of their experiences in living with and treating their hypertension. The other were given educational discs on an unrelated health topic. The study volunteers reported that they had listened to the DVDs, and after three months, those who heard the stories of the hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure.
While the study did not address how the story-telling influenced the patients' behavior, Houston doubts that watching patients of similar backgrounds who had a similar medical experience helped to motivate them to seek medical help to their hypertension. They found that after six months the difference in blood pressure between those who watched the story-tellers and those who observed the unrelated videos remained, suggesting that the story-telling continued to have an effect.
小題1: We can learn from the text that the pre-recorded videos _________.
A．tell medical histories of hypertension patients
B．introduce some medical treatments of hypertension
C．introduce a good lifestyle for hypertensive patients
D．tell scientific discoveries of the scientist group
小題2:Houston was surprised to find that _______.
A．hypertension is really difficult to control
B．communication has some medical effects
C．medical treatments have no effect at all
D．people don't follow the medical requirements
小題3: The underlined word "address" in the last paragraph most probably means _______.
A．persuadeB．observeC．a(chǎn)ttend D．a(chǎn)nnounce
小題4: Which of the following could be the best title of the text?
A．The stories of some hypertension patients.
B．Medical treatments of blood pressure.
C．Storytelling may help lower blood pressure.
D．Suggestions about how to lower blood pressure.

The bar-tailed godwit （斑尾鷸）has just broken its own record for the world’s longest non-stop flight, including humans in planes, according to a report made by Lund University Press. The bird can fly non-stop for eight days, while the most impressive man-made airplane can only remain in the sky for 82 hours without a stop.
The bar-tailed godwit’s journey, from Alaska to New Zealand, covers over 6,835 miles. It completes this trip twice a year, in autumn going to New Zealand, and in spring back to Alaska. The tireless bird ends the trip without stopping once for food or rest. All other birds can only finish trips that are twice as short as what the bar-tailed godwit travels.
One reason for the bar-tailed godwit’s success is that it has made the best use of its fuel, which is only 0.41 percent of its body weight over each hour of any given long flight. Hedenstrom, a professor from Lund University, says, “This figure is extremely low compared with other birds.” The bird also has a special body shape that helps it fly easily. It stores body fat and protein to manage its trips. It also travels fast, compared to other birds and animals.
Many questions remain about this bird record holder that never gets lost in the air. Researchers wonder whether it has an inside compass (指南針) that helps it to know the direction. Please watch how beautiful bar-tailed godwits look as they come in for a landing, along with other birds.
小題1:For the flight from Alaska to New Zealand, the bar-tailed godwit__________
A．doesn’t need to stop to eat
B．is afraid of hot weather
C．seems very tired at last
D．should fly less than 7,000 meters
小題2:The main reason why the bar-tailed godwit can break the record is that it ______.
A．eats little food every hour
B．has a special body shape
C．stores much water in its body
D．has very light body weight
小題3:The last paragraph tells us that _________.
A．researchers have understood the bird very well
B．the bird has a very good sense of direction
C．there are still many who doubt the bird’s ability
D．the bird has an inner compass

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays（光線）left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “ The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, “ The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”
小題1: Light speed is ________ than sound speed.
A．millions times fasterB．a(chǎn) million times slower
C．a(chǎn)bout millions of times fasterD．a(chǎn)bout a million times faster
小題2:If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that _____.
A．you can hear the gun before you see the smoke.
B．sound does not travel as fast as light.
C．the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun.
D．sound travels about a million times faster than light.
小題3:What does “ it” refer to?
A．moon lightB．light raysC．the nearest starD．the moon
小題4:The scientific way of saying “ The stars are shining tonight” should be________.
A．the stars have been shining all the time.
B．the stars seen tonight will be shining four years later.
C．the stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight.
D．the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago.

Researchers believe that the insect(昆蟲) is better at managing congestion (擁擠) than humans. Ants are the most many type of animal on earth with brains that contain about 250,000 cells ---- the largest among insects.
Now an intelligence expert Dr. Dirk Helbing says understanding more about ants could help solve one of the headaches of modern life -- road congestion.
His team set up an "ant motorway" with two routes of different widths from the nest to some sugar syrup (糖漿). Soon the narrower（更窄的） route soon became crowded（擁擠的）. But when an ant returning along the crowded route to the nest met with another ant just starting out, the returning ant pushed the newcomer onto the other path. However, if the returning ant had enjoyed a trouble-free journey, it did not send the newcomer in a different direction.
The result was that just before one route became clogged , the ants had turned to another route and traffic jams never formed.
The researchers also created a computer model of more complex ant networks with routes of different lengths. The team found that even though ants being sent in another direction sometimes took a longer route, they still got to the food quickly and efficiently.
Dr. Helbing, of the Dresden University of Technology in Germany, said that while you cannot allow cars to meet with traffic coming in the opposite（相反的）direction as a form of traffic control, you could do the next best thing and allow them to communicate.
His plan is to force cars traveling in one direction to tell oncoming traffic what the conditions they are about to meet with-- so they can avoid that situation if necessary.
小題1:The first paragraph suggests that _______.
A．a(chǎn)nts have a special way to manage congestion
B．a(chǎn)nts are clever and good at dealing with the traffic jams because of developed brain
C．insects are similar to animals in dealing with the traffic jams because of developed brain
D．insects have more advantages than humans
小題2: The underlined word "clogged" can be replaced by _______ in the following four words.
A．cleanedB．narrowedC．crowdedD．shortened
小題3:If an ant returns along crowded route to the nest, how does the ant solve the traffic problem?
A．The ant will change the direction of its own.
B．The ant stopped the newcomer from moving ahead and forced the newcomer to wait there patiently.
C．The ant can't direct the newcomer.
D．The ant will push the newcomer to the other route, so traffic jams won't form.
小題4: What's the advice that Dr. Helbing gives us?
A．The cars cannot be allowed to communicate with traffic coming in the opposite direction.
B．The cars can communicate with traffic in the same direction.
C．The cars that travel in one direction can tell oncoming traffic about the traffic conditions.
D．We should build more routes of different lengths and widths.

Toucans(巨嘴鳥), a kind of tropical birds known for its colorful beak, are very smart. In Mexico, my dad became friends with a toucan that was in a “walk in and see the birds” cage. The toucan was so smart that it knew how to get out. It just needed some human to help it. It almost flew out while we were leaving!
I also noticed that all toucans have different beaks! They also have very long unique beaks with an extremely long tongue. It struts(大搖大擺地走) around with its chest sticking out and beak pointed forward. The toucan is a beautiful bird! The beak has a red tip (different shades on every one), but sometimes there is a little turquoise on the bottom half. Then, right where the beak separates there is a splotch of yellow. And the rest of the beak is green. The toucan takes very much pride of itself.
The toucan eats fruit and seeds. The ramphastidae(the toucan family) is known for its long beak, and 37 species. Toucans also feed on insects, small lizards, bird nestlings and eggs. They nest in hollow trees where they incubate and care for their young.They are found in the woody areas.
Of the various toucan facts, here is an odd one. Citizens of Central and South America associate the toucans with evil spirits. They think the birds can be the personification of evils. Where couvades(父代母育) is practiced, the father of a new child must not eat toucan flesh as it is believed to bewitch the new-born child. Yet the toucan can also be a tribal totem(圖騰). So the medicine men use it as a symbol to fly to the spirit world.
60. 小題1:Which of the following words is NOT suitable to describe toucans?
A．IntelligentB．ConfidentC．DangerousD．Colorful
61. 小題2:The second paragraph mainly talks about _______.
A．where toucans strut aroundB．how toucans get food
C．what toucans look likeD．when toucans lay eggs
62. 小題3:What does the underlined word“incubate”probably mean in paragraph 3?
A．Hatch eggsB．Take coverC．Gather strengthD．Keep warm
63. 小題4:We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A．a(chǎn)ll citizens of Central and South America are afraid of toucans
B．the toucans can also be used as medicine to cure diseases
C．a(chǎn) new child must not eat toucan flesh because it is poisonous
D．some people believe toucans can bring them misfortune
