Encouraging early reading skills can build a path to a lifelong love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school. While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills, there are many techniques that can help.
Make reading fun. Play games with your child as you read. Many traditional children's games can be adapted to encourage reading skills.
While reading or during play, tell your child, "I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the letter "b". Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter. For example, “I see a barn.” This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds.Ｉspy with my little eye something that begins with the sound “s”. Help the child find a word that begins with the "s" sound.
In this variation on the popular game, instruct the child that, "Simon says, point to something that starts with the letter "n". The child can then find an object in the room or a body part, such as the nose, that starts with the letter presented. This can also be used to teach beginning sounds.
Make a game out of rhyming (押韻) words by making up silly words to rhyme with the child's name or favorite toys. This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds. As the child masters making up the words, begin rhyming real words to one another.
Tips to raise a successful reader:
Put books in places where the child plays. If books are easily accessible, children are more likely to pick them up.
Let children "read to you" by looking at pictures. Making up stories to go along with illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures.
Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctor's office or grocery store.
Have children help you shop. Reading grocery lists and looking for specific items helps build vocabulary.

For medical students, real experience begins not in a classroom but at a teaching hospital. These doctors in training are guided. But sometimes accidents happen and the students get injured.
For example, they might stick themselves with a needle while treating patients. Such needle sticks are common. But a recent study found that medical students often fail to report them. Failing to report an injury like this can be dangerous if a patient, or a medical worker, has an infectious disease.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, did the study, which involved a survey answered by almost 700 surgeons in training in the United States.
Almost 60% said they had suffered needle stick injuries when they were in medical school. Many said they were stuck more than once. Yet nearly half of those whose most recent incident happened in school did not report it to a health office. If they had, they would have been tested to see if they needed treatment to prevent an infection like HIV or hepatitis.
Most known cases of HIV or hepatitis are reported, but other possible infections often are not. Martin Makary, the lead author of the study, says medical students who are stuck put themselves and others in danger from infectious diseases.
Doctor Makary said, "A needle that goes through the skin needs to be as sharp as possible.” Doctors in training may have to do hundreds of stitches (縫線) in some cases to close the skin after an operation.
Doctor Makary said, “I support using blunt tip needles which are considered safer. This needle is still sharp enough to go through body tissue, but it does have a blunt tip, so that if it accidentally goes into my finger, it's much less likely to hurt me."
How common are needle sticks among health care workers? An estimated 600,000 to 800,000 of these and similar injuries are reported each year in the United States. But Doctor Makary says the real number may be much higher.
The study advises doctors to protect their hands by wearing two sets of gloves. It also urges hospitals to establish a special telephone number for medical workers and students to call if they are injured. The idea is for hospitals to send a clear message that there is no reason not to report this kind of accident.
小題1:It is dangerous for medical students not to report needle stick injuries because _________.
A．they don’t know how to treat themselves.
B．they may meet more needle sticks
C．it may cause some diseases
D．it may make patients sad.
小題2:If they report needle stick injuries, medical students will __________.
A．receive treatmentB．be forbidden to use sharp needles
C．spend more time on trainingD．receive tests
小題3:The underlined word “blunt” in Paragraph 7 is the closest in meaning to “__________”.
A．not sharpB．not safeC．not longD．not thick
小題4:What do we know from the passage?
A．Doctors who don’t report needle stick injuries will be punished.
B．Needle sticks among health care workers will reduce sharply in the future.
C．Most needle stick injuries happen in the United States.
D．Two suggestions are given to protect medical workers and students.
小題5:Where can this passage most probably be found?
A．In an entertainment magazineB．In a science magazine
C．In a storybookD．In science fiction

Kids have their own ideas about money---some are sensible and others are not so wise.
Twelve-year-old Amanda thinks it’s        to save and not blow your money right away  “ so you can         other things”.
When it comes to credit cards, eight-year-old Jeremie says when the monthly        comes in “ you sign it and then you give it back” ---leaving out the part about actually        it.
These kids are        far away from the working world, but the ideas they’re forming about        could affect how much they save, how they use credit cards and how much debt they finally take on in later life.
High school business teacher Jeff Balch said his students had        knowledge about money other than spending. “ They don’t know most things because        talks to them about them---as in their parents,” said Balch, “The discussions tend to be in terms of kids        too much money, but no one tells them why, where their money goes.
Mitch Murphy said students’ message to the task force was to “ make it       ”. “ It may be difficult to have a 14-or 15-year-old student get too        about retirement planning, ” Murphy said, “ But if you want to talk about a cellphone contract or a debt card,they will be engaged in.” Murphy said learning financial literacy (能力)　    ,  well        getting into the work force, should stay with Canadians for life and        the country as a result.
Sandra Martin said children can start learning about money when they learn to       . “ Sit down with the flyers and look at how much things cost,” Martin said. Babysitting and birthday money could be        and there would be a(n)        as to how much could be debited(借) every month, she said.
“ The reality is that we’re not spending with cash anymore. If you’re always in         of your child’s money, then they’re never going to learn what it means to save for something that’s      .”
Balch said he tries to make his students realize the differences between needs, wants and priorities(優(yōu)先權(quán)). If they haven’t learned self-control and if they haven’t learned how to        money, they can easily spiral(螺旋上升) out of control.

Most American schools have boys and girls in the same classroom. But a public high school in the small, rural town of Boonsboro, Maryland, offers a special program called the Academy. Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math, science, English and social studies.
The aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart. What they really want to do is take that top group of kids and take them to the very highest level they can achieve there, so that they’re prepared for college.
Students are invited to enter this program after they finish middle school, and placement in the Academy is voluntary. However, they need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations. They also need to be involved in activities.
Almost 350 students have taken part in the Academy. It began as an experiment in 2010.
Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High for twenty years and directs the Academy. His ninth-grade English class for boys centers on books that he believes boys find interesting. He says that the novels the students are reading now are very manly (男子氣概的) novels. These novels deal with the arrogance (傲慢) of man and the pride of man which finally leads to man’s downfall.
One of those books, for example, is The Call of the Wild by Jack London. This classic story tells of a dog stolen from his home and sold to work as a sled dog in Canada’s Klondike Gold Rush.
Morgan Fleet, a senior at Boonsboro High, likes being in the Academy. She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom. She believes this difference seems to prevent her from developing herself because she’s more focused on thoughts like “Oh, I wish they would shut up. Oh, what do they think of me?’’ instead of focusing on “What’s the homework? What’s going on in this class? What’s the lesson?”.
There is one activity that girls and boys in the Academy do together. At the end of the day, many of them stay and help tutor students who are having trouble in school.
小題1:What is the purpose of the Academy program?
A．To offer a special program in high school.
B．To help students concentrate on study.
C．To strengthen sex education for teenagers.
D．To start learning college courses earlier.
小題2:To enter the Academy program, students are NOT required to _________.
A．do well in their studyB．be recommended by teachers
C．take part in some activitiesD．have worked as volunteers
小題3:The Call of the Wild is given as an example to show that male students ___.
A．should learn more about literature
B．should have a sense of protecting the wildlife
C．a(chǎn)re reading more manly novels
D．a(chǎn)re interested in stories on animals
小題4:Which is likely to be Morgan Fleet’s opinion?
A．A girl cares about the boys’ opinions of her.
B．Single-sex classes should be stopped.
C．Girls are more focused when studying with boys.
D．Boys and girls act the same in separate classrooms.
小題5:The passage is intended to _________.
A．introduce the single-sex class project
B．explain the differences between boys and girls
C．persuade students to enter the Academy program
D．urge students to work hard in their study

In general, people talk about two groups of colours warm colours and cool colours. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people people who prefer warm colours and people who prefer cool colours.
The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colours are green, blue and violet. These colours, unlike warm colours , are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colours than in a room with cool colours. He suggests that a warm colour, such as red or orange is a good colour for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colours are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colours are warm and other colours are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colours remind people of warm days and the cool colours remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
小題1:Which of the following colours belong to cool colours?
A．Yellow, green.B．Blue, violet.
C．Black, blue.D．Brown, white.
小題2:Which of the following statements is not true?
A．Sociable people like warm colours.
B．Warm colours can make people excited.
C．People who like to be with others don’t like red.
D．Where there are warm colours, people want to be active.
小題3:Which is the right colour for different rooms?
A．Red or orange for offices.
B．Orange for dining-rooms.
C．Blue for bedrooms.
D．Red for studies.
小題4:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．It shows the reason why people think some colours are warm and others are cool.
B．Warm colours remind people of warm days.
C．Cool colours remind people of cool days.
D．People have an agreeable opinion of warm colours and cool colours.

The next time your face turns red after tripping(絆倒) over your own feet in public, don’t try to hide it—a new study finds that showing your embarrassment actually makes other people view you as more reliable.
Researchers at the University of California have carried out the study and found that embarrassment is a good signature of a person to whom you can entrust valuable resources.
Not only are the findings useful for people seeking cooperative and reliable team members and business partners, but they also make for helpful dating advice.“Moderate(適度的) levels of embarrassment are signs of virtue. Our data suggests embarrassment is a good thing, not something you should fight.”said Matthew Feinberg, who led the study.
While the most typical gesture of embarrassment is a downward gaze to one side while partly covering the face, a person who feels shame, as distinguished(區(qū)別) from embarrassment, will typically cover the whole face, Feinberg said.
The results were got from a series of experiments. In the first experiment, 60 college students were videotaped describing embarrassing moments, such as making incorrect assumptions(假想) based on appearances. The college students also participated in the “Dictator Game” which is used in economics research to measure altruism(利己主義). For example, each was given 10 raffle tickets(獎(jiǎng)券) and asked to keep a share of the tickets and give the reminder(提示物) to a partner.
The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, showed that those who showed greater levels of embarrassment tended to give away more of their raffle tickets, indicating(﹦showing) greater generosity.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following is thought to be reliable?
A．A person who feels shame.
B．A person who hides his embarrassment.
C．A person who shows his embarrassment.
D．A person who gives away more raffle tickets.
小題2:We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．it’s useless to fight our embarrassment
B．people should try to overcome their embarrassment
C．embarrassed people are not good at doing business
D．people who show embarrassment can be good business partners
小題3:The “Dictator Game ” is used to _________.
A．measure the students’ economic status
B．test whether a student is generous or not
C．determine the different levels of embarrassment
D．record how each student reacts during embarrassing moments
小題4:We learn from the last paragraph that those who showed greater levels of embarrassment ____.
A．proved to be more generousB．kept more of the raffle tickets
C．didn’t care for raffle ticketsD．were less reliable

Expensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（話匣子）to take the term “handsfree” to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.
Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承擔(dān)）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.
Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.
Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”
Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”
小題1:The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.
A．a(chǎn)n artistB．a(chǎn) companyC．a(chǎn) mobileD．a(chǎn)n exhibition
小題2:Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.
A．in the exhibition
B．from Mr Miles
C．when they are mass produced
D．a(chǎn)fter they recycle the gadgets
小題3: The purpose of the project is to _______.
A．promote the technology of IT
B．enable people to talk to their hands
C．raise people’s awareness of recycling
D．a(chǎn)ttract visitors’ attention in the exhibition
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A．New mobiles that are fashionable.
B．Outdated handsets that are upgraded.
C．Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.
D．New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.

How long you live has a lot to do with your environment and lifestyle, but exceptional(特別的)long life may have even more to do with your genes. For the first time, researchers have discovered a genetic recipe(基因譜)that accurately predicts who may live to 100 and beyond.
Analysis shows that 90% of the participants who lived to 100 had at least one of the signature genetic clusters(標(biāo)志基因組). Dr. Thomas Perls at the Boston University School of Medicine said, “We realize this is a complex genetic puzzle. There is a long way for us to go to understand how the integration(融合)of these genes—not just with themselves but with environmental factors—is playing a role in this long life puzzle.”
Perls has studied many factors that contribute to long life, and he is the first to acknowledge that living longer isn’t likely to be simply a matter of genes. His previous work has shown, for example, that among most elderly people who live into their 70s and 80s, about 70% can owe their long life to environmental factors such as not smoking; eating a healthy, low-fat, low-calorie diet; and remaining socially engaged and mentally active throughout life.
It seems clear that those who live extremely long are benefiting from a special DNA. In fact, Perls believes that the older a person gets, the more likely it is that his or her genes are contributing to those extended years.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A．Most long-living people have special long-life-related genes.
B．Ninety percent of the participants lived to 100 years of age.
C．All the long-living people have only one signature genetic cluster.
D．Scientists know how the integration of the genes helps people live long.
小題2: Perls may most likely agree that         .
A．most people living extremely long benefit from not smoking
B．living longer just depends on certain genetic recipes
C．environmental factors play an important role in long-living
D．being mentally active has nothing to do with living an old age
小題3: Which of the following is FALSE according to the text?
A．Remaining socially engaged helps a person to live long.
B．A genetic recipe can accurately predict who may live to 100 and beyond.
C．Perls is the first to think living longer is just a matter of genes.
D．The older he gets, the more likely the genes contribute to his extended years.
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Genes May Predict Who Lives to 100B．Environment And Genes
C．Genes, the Secret of Long LivingD．Lifestyle And Genes
