     People realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings, they are clever
enough to learn certain things.
     Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will
always lead his blind master (主人) in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye
dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.
     Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never
to be frightened of noises and traffic. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they
are also quite high strung (緊張). Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient
(耐心) and understanding.
     The movie and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy
to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by putting something that smells good to the
animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they come happily back
to their families or dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him.
However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death.
1. Seeing-eye dogs have to learn the following except _____.
[     ]
A. following the master's order anytime
B. leading their master in the right direction
C. keeping their master safe while leading the way
D. crossing a busy road at the proper time
2. What does "make a trail" mean here in the last paragraph?
[     ]
A. place something to attract the animal
B. give the animal a certain task
C. order the animal to do things
D. follow the animal to hunt
3. Lions can be photographed easily when _____.
[     ]
A. they are following a trail of something that smells good
B. they are returning to their families
C. they have been trained to work with other animals
D. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby
4. Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage?
[     ]
A. Dangerous wild animals can be trained.
B. Dogs can be trained to help blind people.
C. Animals can be trained to learn certain things.
D. Animals can become interested in learning.

     Born in London in 1815, Ada Lovelace was the daughter of Annabella Millbanke and the British poet Lord
Byron. Her parents separated just a month after she was born. Less than a year later, Lord Byron went abroad
and never returned ( he died in Greece in 1824). Ada never knew her father and was raised by her mother. Her mother had mathematical training and insisted that Ada, who was educated privately, study mathematics too.
Ada did well not only in mathematics and science, but also in music and PE.
     In 1833, Ada met Charles Babbage, a famous English mathematician. He was known as the inventor of a
calculating machine called the Difference Engine. They became good friends and began to write to each other
 on the topics of mathematics, logic, and many other subjects.
     Babbage had made plans in 1834 for a new kind of calculating machine ( although the Difference Engine
was not finished),an Analytical Engine. Few people in England would support him with his first machine
unfinished. But he found support for his new calculating machine abroad. In 1842, an Italian mathematician,
Louis Menabrea, published a paper in French on the subject of the Analytical Engine. Babbage asked Ada to
translate the paper.
     When she showed Babbage her translation he suggested that she add her own notes, which turned out to be
three times as long as Menabrea' s. The notes are the source of her enduring fame (不朽的聲譽(yù) ). In her notes, Ada predicted (預(yù)言 )that such a machine might be used to write music, to draw pictures, and would be used
for both practical and scientific use. She was correct.
     After she wrote the description of Babbage' s Analytical Engine,her life was plagued (折磨) with illnesses.
In 1852, she died of cancer and was buried beside her father at Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire, England.
     In 1980, 165 years after Ada' s birth, the US Defense Department announced a powerful new computer
language. They named it Ada in honor of Ada Lovelace' s important role in the history of computing.
1. It seemed that Ada' s mother _____.
A. had little money to educate Ada at home
B. wanted Ada to be a great musician
C. didn't wish Ada to be a poet like her father
D. didn't think Ada was a clever girl
2. Babbage didn' t find support for his Analytical Engine in Britain because _____.
A. his first calculating machine was not finished
B. no one thought the machine would be useful
C. he had moved to Italy and settled there
D. most of his inventions proved useless
3. Menabrea' s paper on Babbage' s Analytical Engine was written in _____.
A. English
B. Italian
C. German
D. French
4. What do we learn about Ada from the passage?
A. She was remembered as a great translator.
B. Her predictions have come true.
C. Her notes were written in computer language.
D. She led a long and fruitful life.

     When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach
(田徑教練). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年級(jí)學(xué)生).
John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join
our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he
could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted
the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
     About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning
various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out
for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since
you're so good at it."
     John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could
do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."
     From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down
to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不滿的) students can be of them-selves,
I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!
1. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John's _____.
[     ]
A. PE marks
B. self-confidence
C. interest in sports
D. state of health
2. Why did John take part in the track team?
[     ]
A. He had been an excellent runner.
B. He was encouraged by his teacher.
C. He liked running more than tennis.
D. He had no tennis coach to train him.
3. The purpose of this passage is probably _____.

A. to build a close teacher-student relationship

C. to explain the value of sports and games
D. to show the importance of encouragement
4. The passage is mainly written for _____.

     I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others.
However, learning came fairly easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my
nightmare (惡夢(mèng)) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE
teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes.
No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!
     One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather
worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement,
I had no choice but to agree.
     It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann, played the girl. We
were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe, I had to pick up
Margaret Ann as we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she
who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for
our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards, I smiled confidently (自信地).
     Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did
not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

       When six the very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together

the generous offering of HK universities is great.

carry out bilingual(雙語的)  education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is an other
attraction for mainland students.

exchange  students.
      Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University be calm as before when
facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the
top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
    The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement
of education in Cluna.After the awakerung and action taking of main-
land universities,they can perform better together with HK universities.
      At least,it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (學(xué)費(fèi))  are among students' top
concem when they are choosing universities. It's time to move.
