Teaching kids to fish sometimes puzzles us parents. Now I’d like to give you a few tips.
First of all, start them young.
Get them in a boat, or on a pier(碼頭), or on the bank at as young an age as you possibly can. Obviously this means being extremely conscious about their safety. Whatever you do, DON’T plan on any fishing yourself. If fishing is going to happen, the fishing will be done by the kids with your help! This lets you pay attention to them and not ignore them while you fish.
Next, make sure you plan the first trips to someplace where you can actually catch a lot of fish. At this point, it doesn’t matter what kind or how big, just make sure they can catch some. A small child’s patience is very short, and waiting 30 minutes for a bite will turn them off in a hurry. You may need to go to a small pond where the fish are dying to eat bread balls. Any type of fish will do. Remember, this is for them, not for you.
As they fish, cheer for every fish they catch. Make a really big deal out of it. Take pictures. And if it’s possible, take some home to clean. Let the child help you clean with a table knife, so he can’t get hurt.
Make sure he makes and sees the connection from catching to cleaning to cooking. As soon as you have the fish cleaned, it’s into the kitchen to start cooking. Make him flour and cornmeal the fish. Let him see the fish cooking, and talk about how good they are. Then when it’s ready, make sure you brag(吹噓) on the fact that he (or she ) caught these fish, and “aren’t they good?”
In this way, I’m sure your kids will be interested in fishing and good at fishing.

There are a total of seven billion tons of garbage kept in Chinese cities and this garbage together takes up 600 million square meters of land space. Urban garbage has now become one of the four major polluting sources in China.
China has about 700 cities. Every day, these cities produce 100 tons of garbage in total and the amount still increases by 8%-10% every year. In China, about two-thirds of the cities are surrounded by garbage. In many cities, the garbage is in the open air with on one to take care of it. The garbage not only damages the city’s image, it also pollutes the air, water and soil, and puts a threat to human health.
China will face a critical (關(guān)鍵的) period in its modernization drive in the fifty years to come. As urbanization(城市化) process has quickened, the garbage in cities will become a serious problem to our human life and we should pay great attention to the problem, said Dong Suocheng, executive director of the China Resources Institute.
In the next fifty years, China’s population scale(規(guī)模) and urbanization process will reach its top, which will produce more garbage. Considering this, China should make great efforts to develop recycled economy. On the one hand, China should make sure that less garbage will be produced; on the other hand, China should make good use of garbage resources and turn garbage handing into an industry, and make sure that garbage industry will cover every part of garbage processing, from garbage collecting and classifying to garbage transportation and treatment. This might serve as a good way to solve the garbage problem in cities, he said.

Are you a procrastinator?
Following a schedule and doing things on time is extremely important in today’s busy world.
Unfortunately, not everyone is good at doing this. Many people are procrastinators; they put off
doing things that they need to until it’s too late.
We all put off doing things at times. Statistics show that 90% of university students will often put off studying for a test or writing an important paper the night before, 25% of university students put off almost everything all the time. This more serious form of procrastination can result in a student dropping out of school. Students who put off doing their assignments once in a while get further and further behind in their studies. Before long, they feel completely helpless. For the chronic(長期的)procrastinator, often the only way to solve this problem is to quit school.
According to recent studies, there are three main reasons that students put off doing things. First, many have poor time-management skills and often try to do too much in too little time. In the end, these students often feel helpless and will put off doing many things they need to. Another reason why students put off doing things is that they feel a subject is boring and have something because they don’t like it. a third reason why many students put off doing things is that they often worry that their work will never be as good as it should be and fear failure of any kind, which, unfortunately , can often cause these students to put off doing any work at all.
Do you recognize any of these signs in yourself? If so, you may want to do something about your tendency towards procrastination. The following five tips may be helpful.
First, list the things in life that are important to you, and then list the reasons why you are at school or university. Look at the two lists and see where they match. Is there something you need to do in order to achieve a life goal?
Second, chose realistic goals for yourself; don’t try to do more than you can.
Third, once you have identified our goals, list them and ask yourself “Which should I do first?” As you become more aware of what you need to do and when you need to do it, you will feel more in control and will be able to complete tasks on time.
Fourth, manage your time wisely. Create a schedule that allows adequate time for accomplishing a goal; for example, your schedule should give you enough time to study for and pass a test, as well as time to relax.
Finally, when you accomplish a goal, do something good for yourself as a reward.
If you believe that you are a chronic procrastinator, you should try to get help before it is too late. Talk to a professional, and discuss the problem. If you are a mild procrastinator, make sure to keep yourself motivated, but don’t worry too much. Remember-we all put off doing things at times.

A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a million-dollar prize is living with his mother in a simple flat in St Petersburg, co-existing on her ~30-a-month pension, because he has been
unemployed for many years.
The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse (隱士 ) who shocked the maths world when  he solved a century-old puzzle known as the Poincare Conjecture.
Grigory Perelman's trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute, the
Steklov, in 2003. When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to re-elect him as a member, Dr Perelman
was left feeling an "absolutely ungified and untalented person", said a friend. He becEune unconfident and cut himself off.
Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union's congress inMadrid, where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等價物) of the Nobel Prize, and that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.
Interviewed in St Petersburg, Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention, and
was uninterested in the prize.“I do not think anything that I say can be ofthe slightest public interest"
he said. "I am not saying that because I value my privacy, or that I am doing anything I want to hide.
There are no top-secret projects going on here. Ijust believe the public has no interest in me."
He continued: "I know that self-promotion happens a lot and if people want to do that, good luck
to them, bjt I do not regard it as a positive thing. I realised this a long time ago and nobody is going to
change my mind. Newspapers sliould be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about.
They should have more taste. As far as I am concerned, I can't offer anything for their readers."
Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer, but is apparently unwilling to increase them with the $1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge,Massachusetts, for solving one ofthe world's seven "Millennium Problems".
66. Grigory Perelman lives with his mother because
A. he has to look after her
B. his mother has a million dollars
C. he has been out of work for a long time
D. he is badly paid at the mathematical institute
67. The phrase "absolutely ungified and untalented person" shows that Dr Perelman felt
A. angry      B. discouraged    C. proud        D. confident
68. Grigory Perelman refused to accept the prize because .
A. he thought the prize was worthless
B. he didn't believe the news
C. he couldn't afford to travel to Madrid
D. he showed no interest in it
69. From the passage, we can infer that Grigory Perelman
A. solved the most difficult maths problem
B. has a strong personality
C. wanted to make himself known to all
D. didn't get on well with the press
70. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Great Mathematician Leads Simple Life
B. Maths Genius Abandons a Million-dollar Prize
C. Mathematics Institute Offers Grigory $1 Million
D. One ofthe World's Seven "Millennium Probtems" Solved

第三部分閱讀理解(共10小題;每小題2分,滿分20分)
How many times have you laughed today? Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh? In the whole animal kingdom, only we humans are capable (有能力的) of laughter. On average, we laugh about 17 times a day.
Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to some-thing funny or pleasant. Have you noticed that when you laugh, many parts of your body respond (反應(yīng))? Your face changes expression, your breathing changes, and muscles throughout your body are affected.
An interesting story dates back to 1962. In a school in Tanganyika, in Africa, a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke. This laughter became epidemic (傳染的), jumping from one person to the next, spreading across communities, and lasting for six months! So strong was the "laughter epidemic" that schools had to shut down till it ended.
How we laugh remains a mystery. Whatever the reasons, laughter, as the saying goes, "is the best medicine." In fact, science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses.
Laughing exercises all the important muscles, and keeps you fit. People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses. They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together. Laughter spreads, so this exercise works best in groups; once one person starts laughing, others automatically (自動地) join in.
56. The underlined word "spontaneous" in the second paragraph probably means "______".
A. perfect            B. strange            C. natural         D. terrible
57. People have formed laughter clubs to ______.
A. kill time          B. relax         C. meet others        D. keep healthy
58. The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. A Laughter Epidemic
B. Laughter, What It Is, and What It Can Do
C. The Relationship Between Laughter and Health
D. How Laughter Helps Cure Disease
59. The passage is probably taken from a(n) ______.
A. ad         B. novel            C. magazine           D. medical book
