Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time :if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those
Around him use. Bit by bit .he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things: they should learn to do without being taught, such as to walk, run, climb,  whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to .Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the  answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine（常規(guī)）work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer .Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn ,how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they   know or do not know.
小題1:According to the passage ,the best way for children to learn things is by______
A．listening to skilled people's advice
B．a(chǎn)sking older people many questions.
C．making mistakes and having them corrected
D．doing what other people do

A．a(chǎn)llow children to learn from each other
B．point out children's mistakes whenever found
C．correct children's mistakes as soon as possible

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers（young people aged from 13 —19）from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected — much harder. Students rose respectfully① when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize② American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
Notes:
①    respectfully  adv. 尊敬地，謙恭地
②    criticize  vt. 批評(píng)，責(zé)備
Choose the best answers according to the above:
小題1:This year       __ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.

小題2:The whole exchange programme is mainly to        __.
A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America
B．send students in America to travel in Germany
C．let students learn something about other countries
D．have teenagers learn new languages
小題3:What is particular in America schools is that        __.
A．there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
B．there are a lot of outside activities
C．students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D．students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
小題4:After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought        __.
A．a(chǎn) better education should include something good from both American and Germany
B．German schools trained students to be better citizens
C．American schools were not as good as German schools

A new study shows one of the largest glaciers①in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected. If it continues, Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet.
The rates②of change that we’re noticing are much higher than expected. If these rates continue, it is not unlikely that Greenland could shrink③by several tens of percent this century. However, it’s not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice.
Greenland is the world’s largest island, covering an area more than three times the size of Texas. Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice, and there are many glaciers. Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice. Where a glacier meets the sea, its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom. A glacier’s front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats.
Since the 1970s, the front of Helheim stayed in the same place. Then it began melting rapidly, moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer. It has also grown thinner, from top to bottom, by more than 130 feet since 2001. And over these past four years, its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110.
The melting is driven by a warmer climate. Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade. Since most of Greenland’s ice is on land, seas will rise as the ice melts. If all Greenland’s ice sheet melted, oceans would be 15-20 feet higher. Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon.
Notes:
① glacier  n. 冰川
② rate  n. 比率
③ shrink  v. 縮小
1. Which of the following about the glaciers is TRUE?
A. Glaciers only lie in Greenland.        B. Water in glaciers is more than sea water.
C. Glaciers sometimes float on the water.  D. Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes.
2. According to the text, we know that Greenland ______.
A. belongs to Canada                  B. is the largest island in North America
C. is all covered with glaciers            D. is sinking under the sea level
3. Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers?
A. the climate of the world will be warmer.
B. the glaciers in other area will be bigger.
C. It will be easy for explorers to visit the island.
D. Some coastal cities may be under the sea.

"Reduce, reuse and recycle, this familiar environmentalist slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills and waterways.
The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste – electronic junk (電子垃圾), such as old computers, cell-phones, and televisions. But this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous way more often than not used, a recent report suggests.
“A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse – to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutierrez, a policy researcher.
One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. Often it’s picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.
Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves,” Gutierrez said. But, he added, “A greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”
China, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese government, after many years of denial, is finally beginning to take the lead.
小題1:The underlined word “unscrupulous” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A．unsafeB．trickyC．wrongD．immoral
小題2:What does the fourth paragraph mainly discuss?
A．Old computers and TVs still work before they are sent abroad.
B．Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials.
C．A lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries.
D．The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.
小題3:From what Gutierrez said we can learn that ________.
A．exporting countries should mainly be responsible for this problem.
B．neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problem
C．developing countries should be responsible for this problem
D．poor countries should blamed for this problem
小題4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A．China has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret places
B．China has greatly changed hre idea about the problem of e-waste
C．China has prevented poisonous materials from entering China for a long time
D．China is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-wast
小題5:The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A．developing countries are facing serious environmental problems
B．e-waste is a growing problem in developed countries
C．e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuse
D．developing countries are making full use of e-waste

Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn’t mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias (恐懼癥) much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological (心理的). It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything-a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says:"Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.” So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they’re silly for being “a scared cat”（膽小鬼）. Handing the fears is essential.
Children can be born nervous and., if you have such a baby, you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, you’ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: “You shouldn’t force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke (撫摸) it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that’s good with children, of course-then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for ‘being brave’.”
小題1:Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because     .
A．they will not develop into phobias
B．their influence is psychological
C．they exist widely in the world
D．they will disappear gradually
小題2:If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will    .
A．make the same old mistake
B．overcome them by themselves
C．experience the worst of things
D．grow up lacking self-confidence
小題3:According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should     .
A．tell the child not to be afraid of it
B．show the child how to approach it
C．keep the child away from it
D．a(chǎn)sk the child to stroke it

Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海嘯), adding weight to ideas they possess a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.
“There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said.
Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉動(dòng)物).
The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.
小題1:This passage is mainly about________.
A．the damage that was caused in the Indian Ocean tsunami
B．why animals can save them from natural disasters
C．how to protect the wildlife when disaster happens
D．the different opinions about animals’ natural power
小題2:Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．It has been proved that animals have a “sixth sense”.
B．Research has been made on the special movements of animals before disasters.
C．It’s generally considered that animals can sense the coming of disasters.
D．Animals have depended on the known senses to escape the Indian Ocean tsunami.
小題3:What does the term “sixth sense” in the text means?
A．It is the natural ability of animals that can save them from danger.
B．It is the animal’s imagination in the brain.
C．It is some hidden power to say in advance that something will happen.
D．It is a kind of sense that is the same as smell or hearing.
小題4:Which section does the text most probably appear in a newspaper?
A．News Report.B．Discovery.C．Science Fiction.D．Culture.

Dogs may help save the day in the Philippines, as they use their noses to smell out survivors buried by Friday’s mudslide(泥石流). The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain, and this Tuesday they were just beginning their work. Search officials told CNN they hope the recent rain will wash away the smell of rescue teams so the dogs can do their job more accurately.
The dogs were brought in after sound equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins, at a place where a school stood before the mudslide covered it. The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth resettling.
On Monday, rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning, trying to locate survivors, and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone.
Human teams from the US, Malaysia, and Australia are all trying to help, too. But so far they have yet to locate any survivors. Rescue workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.
How did all that mud bury the village in the first place? On Friday, 2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it. The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the village Guinsaugon, burying the 1,800 people who lived there . Out of the 300 houses in the village, only 3 were not covered by the mud . The village is on a southern Philippine Island called Levte. Rescue efforts have been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport. Hopefully, the dogs can help their human friends find survivors.
小題1:According to the search officials’ words in the first paragraph, we can learn that_________
A．the smell of rescue teams can disturb the dogs
B．the dogs can follow the smell of rescue teams
C．the gods can’t smell the rescue teams
D．the dogs can tell the differences between people and rescue teams
小題2: The main purpose of this passage is probably_______.
A．to show the way to rescue the victims in the ruins
B．to introduce the instruments to save victims in a disaster
C．to tell readers that dogs can smell out victims buried in the ruins
D．to show how to train dogs to save victims in a mudslide
小題3:How many survivors were found by the dogs?
A．50.B．Only a few.C．1,800.D．None.
小題4:The reason why the rescue work wasn’t going smoothly was probably that_______.
A．the rain was heavy
B．so many people were buried
C．it was difficult to reach the village
D．these is little chance to save the survivors
小題5:The underlined word “crumbled” in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.

Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hard­ly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer （作曲家） begins, how he manages to keep going - in fact, how and where he leams his trade -all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery. （神秘）.
One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration （靈感） plays in a composer' s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.
The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: "Do I feel inspired?" He says to himself:
"Do I feel like working today?" And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: "Do I feel sleepy?" If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don't feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn' t feel like working, he doesn' t work. It' s as simple as that.
小題1:What would be the best title for the text?
A．Composer: a man of mystery
B．Practice makes good music
C．Relation between sleeping and music
D．Music: product of nature
小題2: The words "covered in complete darkness" underlined in Paragraph I most probably mean
A．difficult to be made
B．without any light
C．black in color
D．not known
小題3: Most people seem to think that a composer _______ .
A．finds it difficult to write music
B．considers it important to have a good rest
C．should like to talk about inspiration
D．never asks himself very simple questions
小題4:The author will most probably agree that composers _______
A．a(chǎn)re born with a gift for music
B．a(chǎn)re people full of mystery
C．work late at night for their music
D．know a lot about eating and sleeping

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(癡呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷爾蒙) , U.S. reseachers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老癡呆癥). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(懷孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保護(hù)神經(jīng)的) effects,” Kinsley said.  
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改變) to the brain.”
小題1: How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A．Some researchers have told them.
B．Many women say so.
C．They know it by experimenting on rats.
D．They know it through their own experience.
小題2: What does the phrase “l(fā)itters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
A．Baby rats.B．Animals.C．Old rats.D．Grown-up rats.
小題3:What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
A．Estrogen.B．The hormones of pregnancy.
C．More exercise.D．Taking care of children.
小題4:“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?
A．The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B．The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C．The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D．The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
小題5:Which title is the best for this passage?
A．Do You Want to Be Smarter?
B．Motherhood Makes Women Smarter
C．Mysterious Hormones
D．An Important Study
