Many parents take on the role of being their children’s preschool teacher and the responsibility of readying them for kindergarten. To achieve this goal, it is important for parents to introduce a variety of subjects in a positive and playful manner.
“Learning should not be forced,”says Marion Godwin, who has taught first grade in Moorestown, N. J. for more than 30 years.“ It should be taught according to what they know and do best—and that is‘ play’. When teaching  them, play games and have fun with the subject. And parents should always be looking for‘teachable moments’.”
“You want a child to be a lifelong learner, so you want to show them learning is everywhere,”she says.“If parents take the time to lay a strong educational foundation, their children will keep building on it.”
Introduce children to science with hands-on activities that interest them, such as growing plants from seeds, discussing animals and how to care for pets, and observing the chemical changes that occur during cooking”, she says.
“Sorting activities, simple patterns and counting games are a great way to teach children the basics of math, and taking them on field trips, singing songs and reciting rhymes also are ways to prepare them for the first day of school”, she says.
“I think children are naturals when it comes to computers,” she says.“Let them play educational games on the computer and teach them how to type their first names using the keyboard. When they are more familiar with using the computer, let them find pictures of animals and places on the web. ”
“Don’t criticize the child,” she says. “You can’t force them to learn something. If they don’t get something right, so what? Smile and be happy and make the experience joyful. Parents need to understand that if a child gets something wrong, they may think something is wrong with them. Keep working with them and when they get the right answer make sure you tell them how hard they worked to get the correct answer. ”

Urban citizens(市民)can enjoy a more colorful life than rural citizens.Townspeople are well­informed because they have the easier access to news,while country people are uniformed because these districts are hard to get to.Urban traffic is so well­developed that the residents there often visit exhibitions and parks which are only a short bus ride away. For country people this is a major operation which involves considerable planning.Shopping,a necessary activity in everyday life is more convenient in the city than in the countryside. Townspeople can buy what they want at any time of a day.But rural residents go to town at most once a week.So after shopping they always stagger home loaded with heavy purchases. As for as meals and clothes concerned,townspeople are well­fed and well­dressed as there is an adequate(足夠的)supply of goods.But rural residents are too busy to pay particular attention to them.It is for these reasons that more and more people are moving into the city and looking for a rest there.
On the contrary,some people are attracted by the rural area.Air pollution,noise and overcrowding which are the biggest problems confronting townspeople seem strange for rural residents.Medical studies have proved that rural residents can live longer than urban residents, because they are free from a polluted environment. In addition,the crime rate in the city is several times higher than in the countryside.As is known to all,the life in any city is much more expensive than in the countryside.So the safe, quiet and cheap life in the country appeals to(對……有吸引力)many city residents.
Either an urban or a rural area gives pleasure and trouble.But,I believe,the suburban area has the excellencies(優(yōu)點)of both and is superior to both.As the automobile industry develops,more and more people will make their homes in suburban areas.
小題1:When visiting an exhibition in town,country people have to ________.

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France,it is not usual news.Rather,it is art ordinary event.Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them.However,when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed.Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago.The scenes show people hunting animals,such as bison or wild cats.Other images show birds and,most noticeably,horses,which appear in more than 300 wall images,by far outnumbering all other animals.

Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task.They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately,the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes,which easily wear the images away.Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances,air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago,many of the images have been destroyed and are barely recognizable.To prevent further damage,the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered.
小題1:What can be the best title for the text?
A.Wild Animals in ArtB.Hidden Prehistoric Paintings
C.Exploring Caves RespectfullyD.Determining the Age of French Caves
小題2:The underlined phrase“pays heed to”in Paragraph 1 probably means _____________.
A.discoversB.watchesC.noticesD.buys
小題3:According to the text,which animals appear most often on the cave walls?

小題4:Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?

Can noncombustion (非燃燒) technology create a no-pollution way to drive?Imagine pulling into a service station to fuel up your car. But not at the gas pump or electric battery charger —at the air pump! That’s not hot air, either! The next generation of cars may run on thin air. Wouldn’t that be an incredible way to cut both pollution and dependence on foreign oil?
If you’ve ever inflated a balloon and then let it go, you’ve got the basics to test-drive the amazing MiniCAT, currently being developed by Noteur Development International (MDI), headquartered in Luxembourg. Invented by Formula One racing car designer Guy Negre, this experimental vehicle is unlike any car you’ve ever seen. While your family’s traditional car or SUV draws its horsepower using combustion, the only fuel that MiniCAT needs (CAT stands for Compressed Air Technology) is the air we breathe.
Start with about 25,000 gallons of air. Now, press it all into a space smaller than your school locker—because that’s the size of two super-strong, high-pressure air tanks, made from fiber and fixed beneath the air car. 
Confining that much air inside those small tanks generates an internal pressure of over 4,000 pounds per square inch. That’s over 300 times normal air pressure.
When this cold, high-pressure air enters MiniCAT’s unique engine, it interacts(交互作用) with warmer air to create pressure waves that pump the engine’s engineered pistons (活塞) to move the car. MiniCAT’s projected top speed is 60 miles per hour, with a range of 120 miles on a full air supply.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Ways to cut down air pollution.
B.Cars that run on thin air.
C.Formula One racing car designer.
D.Dependence on foreign oil.
小題2:What is MiniCAT according to the passage?
A.The name of a car.
B.The name of a balloon.
C.The name of a car company.
D.The name of a car designer.
小題3:The underlined world “Confining” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ___________.
A.KeepingB.PreventingC.PushingD.Running
小題4:What does the last paragraph tell us?
A.How much pressure the air creates.
B.How the car works.
C.What the normal air pressure is.
D.How the air gets into the engine.

It is nice to know what the weather will be like when we plan a trip. Do you know anything about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky. Don’t look for old weather reports. Looking at the tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of weather even further back.
It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would reduce the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be found out by the reading pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten years ago, you can count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree.
Studying trees is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In an area of New Mexico you can find only sand — no trees or people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why?
A scientist studied the pattern of the rings of dead trees that had grown there. He made up his mind that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move.
In this example studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.
小題1:We can find out the weather of five years ago by counting the rings of a tree trunk ____.
A.from the left to the right
B.from the right to the left
C.from the inside to the outside
D.from the outside to the inside
小題2:If the ring was far from the others, we can conclude that the weather of that year was ______.
A.badB.sunnyC.favorableD.rainy
小題3:By studying the rings of dead trees in an area of New Mexico, the scientist found _______.
A.why the people had to leave
B.where the people had to go
C.what the people had to eat
D.how the people left
小題4:The ancient people usually lived where there were plenty of trees mainly because ______.
A.trees provided an exact record of weather for research
B.trees could supply them with fruit and food to live on
C.trees could supply them with shades
D.trees were materials for fires and buildings
小題5:By giving the example of an area of New Mexico, the author tries to prove        .
A.trees can’t live in the area without population
B.that studying trees is important for the history of man and weather.
C.what the real relation is between tree rings and the history of man and weather
D.the history of man is important for the history of trees

To many students, high school is just a basic routine. You go to class in the morning, take a break for lunch and go home in the afternoon.
This isn't quite that simple for pupils at Royal West Academy. As if classes and homework weren’t already enough, students are also required to complete a range of extracurricular activities, or ECAs.
The range of ECAs being offered at the school is various, including everything from guitar and jewelry-making clubs, fund-raising marches, to student committees, swimming and tennis.
“I love ECAs. I’m so happy we have them,” said grade 11 student Adrienne, who is a soccer player and member of the graduation committee. “They motivate the students, and they’re a great bonding experience. I think that without them, not half as many students would be joining up for the soccer team.”
Requiring students to complete ECAs is a sign of the times. That’s because young people are preparing for the future in ways that weren’t considered necessary before. This is an era when ECAs are seen as important. Whether it’s for leadership experience, sports, craft skills or volunteer these things are seen as rounding out the individual and improving their future.
ECAs can also help students discover their likes and dislikes. But as the old song says, you can’t always get what you want, especially when so many students are all trying to sign up for the most popular activities.
ECAs can cut into study and homework time if you’re not careful. You really have to get organized or you’ll fall apart.
小題1:The students at Royal West Academy may do the following ECAs except ______.
A.to play musical instruments
B.to raise money for an organization
C.to attend sports events
D.to have classes discussions
小題2:From what Adirienne said, we know that _______.
A.most of his classmates are interested in football
B.one can make many new friends in ECAs
C.students get encouraged to join in ECAs
D.half of his classmates are unwilling to join in ECAs.
小題3:Why are ECAs important now?
A.They prepare the students for their future.
B.They can make students get what they want.
C.they can help students find their strong points.
D.They can reduce students’ learning time.
小題4:From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______.
A.ECAs can increase your burden of learning
B.you may fall down when playing in ECAs
C.too many ECAs may leave you in trouble
D.you need to organize other students in ECAs
