If your child constantly moves when he's doing math homework or insists on listening to music while studying, take heart. Although it may seem like he’s trying to drive you crazy, he’s probably just using the strategies that help him learn.

“I like to study at a desk in silence, and my daughter can’t think that way. She likes to bounce around on a ball with music in the background,” says author Maureen McKay, whose website, Optimistic Outcomes, provides tips based on a child’s learning style for parents. “Sometimes kids are just doing what works for them.”

Three basic learning styles are auditory, kinesthetic(肌肉運(yùn)動(dòng)知覺的), and visual ones. Auditory learners prefer listening to explanations to reading them and may like to study by reciting information aloud. This type of learner may want to have background music while studying, or they may be distracted by noises and need a quiet environment to study. Kinesthetic learners learn by doing and touching something. They may have trouble sitting still while studying, and they are better able to understand information by writing it down or doing hands-on activities. Visual learners process new information by reading, looking at graphics, or watching a demonstration. Children with this learning style can grasp information presented in a chart or graph, but they may grow impatient listening to an explanation.

Most people use a combination of styles but have a clear preference for one. Understanding your child’s learning style can reduce homework frustrations and make it easier for families to communicate, says McKay. She observed different learning styles while working as a teacher’s assistant, and she started researching strategies for working in different learning styles when her daughter began having trouble in elementary school.

Because her daughter had difficulty listening in class, McKay looked for exercises to strengthen listening skills. Her daughter is now doing well in middle school, and she owes her success to the fact that her teachers and parents came to understand her unique style of learning.

1.What does the underlined part “take heart” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Take care. B. Work hard.

C. Don't worry. D. Don't mention it.

2.It's implied in the passage that McKay's daughter studies in .

A. both auditory and kinesthetic styles

B. a kinesthetic style

C. both visual and auditor’s styles

D. a visual style

3.According to the passage, McKay would agree that .

A. parents should explore their children's learning styles.

B. teachers should reduce their students’ homework

C. students always enjoy trying different learning styles

D. schools are giving up their traditional teaching methods

4.In the case of her daughter, McKay .

Blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth. Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength. Imitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜譜) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意識(shí)地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.

Syudy your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say,” I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.

1. Imitation proves useful when you .

A. know you are unique

B. lose the balance of life

C. begin to learn something new

D. get tired of routine practice

2. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.

A. forget daily fear and pain

B. choose the right example

C. ask others for decisions

D. stay away from stars

3. Acording to the author. The world moves on because of those who are .

A. desperate to intruence others with their knowledge

B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality

C. eager to discover what their ancestors did

D. willing to accept others’ ideas

4. The trouble a creator faces is .

A. the lack of strong motivation

B. the absence of practical ideas

C. how to search for more materials

D. how to use imagination creatively

5. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To highlight the importance of creatively.

B. To criticize the characters of role models.

C. To compare imitation with creation.

D. To explain the meaning of success.

8．The standard of living of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces．A country's standard of living，therefore，depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth．"Wealth"in this sense is not money，for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy，"goods"such as food and clothing，and"services"such as transport and entertainment．
A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors，most of which have an effect on one another．Wealth depends to a very degree upon a country's natural resources，such as coal，gold，and other minerals，water supply and so on．Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals，and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate； other regions possess perhaps only one of these things，and some regions possess none of them．The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders，her soil is fertile，and her climate is of variety．The Sahara Desert，on the other hand，is one of the least wealthy．
Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use．Sound and stable political conditions，and freedom from foreign invasion （侵略），enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily，and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered．
Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people．Old countries that have，through many centuries，trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled．
Wealth also produces wealth．As a country becomes wealthier，its people have a large margin （富余） for saving，and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day．
