A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children．showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbies．
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular .You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines．Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavy transport and to on．
Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research．Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories．There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed(內(nèi)容豐富有趣的)stories of space or gunmen
1. What has the recent research into children’s reading show?
A. Children begin to read very fast at an early age
B. Children examine in detail what they read at school
C．Children can read clearly in primary schoo1．
D. Children form their reading tastes by the time they are seven
2.If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we’ll find that_______
A.girls are more interested in fiction than boys
B. girls are more interested in action-packed stories than boys
C .boys read much more than girls
D．boys have no interest in fiction
3.It can be inferred from the passage that_________．
A．boys change their reading tastes more often than girls
B．people usually do not change their reading tastes when they grow up
C．boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazines
D. people have no definite(確切的)reading tastes

Blind imitation 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 did you 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．
Bless is that the person is 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．
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve．Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me 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．a(chǎn)sk others for decisions
D．stay away from stars
3.According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ．
A．desperate to influence 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．

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選頁中有兩項為多余選項。
Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.
The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons. ___1._ It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.
Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor! ____2.___ When he invented machines he used both his imaginative ability and his analytical ability.
___3._ Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve(彎曲).___ 4._ He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.
Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don' t we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs !
___5._ We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.
A. We benefit by thinking creatively.

In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant, and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary’s feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.
1.In paragraph1, the author shows how Henson became ________.
A. a skilled seaman
B. a highly educated captain
C. employed in a restaurant
D. interested in helping others
2.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A. how Matthew Henson met Robert Peary
B. why Matthew Henson went to the hat shop
C. why Matthew Henson stopped working on the Katie Hinds
D. how Robert Peary knew that Matthew Henson had sea experience
3.On their trip to the North Pole, Henson and Peary could best be compared to ________.
A. treasure hunters seeking big fortunes
B. generals seeking power over another country
C. soldiers going to war to fight for their freedom
D. fighters performing a task in an unknown land
4.The information presented in this passage is mainly organized ________.
A. by cause and effect
B. by comparing and contrasting
C. in the order that the events happened
D. with main ideas and supporting examples

Your teen is falling asleep in class
Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time. This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school. 1.
When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect of the teacher. He/She may also receive a consequence from the school, depending on the classroom discipline policy. 2.
To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class, try these three tips:
* Set a time for “l(fā)ights out” on school nights. This is never be any later than 10 p. m. and preferably 9 p.m. 3. Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen.
* Help your teen develop a nighttime routine that involves activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 4. Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.
* 5. This will reinforce （增強）what it feels like to be rested and capable of accomplishing what he/she wants.
A. What’s worse, they may even fall asleep in class.
B. Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well.
C. Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning.
D. Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night’s rest.
E. All of these things affect your teen’s academic success and can be avoided.
F. “Lights out” means the computer, television, lights and cell phone should be off.
G. While your teen keeps his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she may have his/her own
goals.
