Reading Oliver James'Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears."I have so take a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just says "OK,I got a nine".
"Wow. well done!" I say, before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!"
According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I don't get good grades, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
I was quite surprised, because I don't consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system（體制）of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.
For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.
This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.
As the Russian poet Pushkin said," Inspiration(靈感）is needed in geometry(幾何學(xué)）just as much as in poetry ",and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them .
小題1:What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?
A．She sets herself a goal too high to reach.
B．She should be more polite to her parents.
C．She is hard-working but not very bright.
D．She takes her grades much too seriously.
小題2:What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?
A．A plain and unavoidable fact.
B．A satisfied and very proud state.
C．A practical and widely-used way.
D．A fixed and often unreasonable idea.
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Social skills are as important as high grades.
B．Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.
C．The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.
D．Danish educational system is for very smart students.
小題4:The writer wants to tell us that____.
A．learning happily is the key to self-development.
B．top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest.
C．tests should be improved to give children inspiration.
D．education should meet one's needs for word and money.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(裝置) which uses satellites (衛(wèi)星) to find the user’s position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(計(jì)算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精確的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
小題1:According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.
A．can’t be lost in a new city
B．can’t find their way in different countries
C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place
D．can spend the least time getting to another place
小題2:We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A．there are three parts to the GPS
B．a(chǎn) GPS can’t be put into a watch
C．a(chǎn) GPS can help you start your car
D．the GPS are becoming more and more expensive
小題3:The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “____________”.
A．ReceiversB．GPS devicesC．SatellitesD．Ground stations
小題4:The passage is mainly about _______________.
A．the history of the GPSB．the introduction of the GPS
C．the shape of the GPSD．the three parts of the GPS
小題5:What can we infer(推斷) from the passage?
A．All GPS devices have electronic maps.
B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.
D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers are fond of food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People call this kind of food “junk food”.
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.

Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.
Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.
Teenagers should eat food without much fat, oil and sugar.
Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins（維生素）and have little fat.
