Do you ever feel like you are studying a mad rush of one subject after another? When things happen at such a pace, it is easy to lose sight of what you are learning. It is important to every now and then to think about what you have been learning.

Self reflection(反思)means stopping the mad rush and yourself so that your brain can evaluate what it has already .Some people prefer to do their self reflections _ _, while others keep a journal. Either method can work, depending on what your own personal is.

School textbooks are often divided into units. This can make it for someone to begin the process of self reflection. Watch for the times when you complete a unit of study. Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is _ because there is some kind of test or quiz. Use these natural as opportunities to stop and reflect.

You should find a place---anywhere without noise is OK. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out your journal Write down some notes on things that you learned in this unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some .

Sometimes just pausing to think deeply allows your brain to make connections _ new information can quickly appear when you it again. Next, think about things that you still wonder about. , maybe you learned about a certain body system, but you don't how it works with the other body systems. Maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem, but you are not sure when to use it. Writing down your will help you remember to continue seeking answers the next time your the same topic.

Self reflection is an essential skill for a student. If you have never taken the time to reflect, try it now.

Is gun play good or bad for children? For many years I emphasized its harmlessness. When concerned parents expressed doubt about letting their children have toy guns, because they didn’t want to encourage them in the slightest degree to become criminals, I would explain how little connection there was. In the course of growing up, children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control if their parents encourage this. One- to two-year-olds, when they are angry with another child, may bite the child’s arm without hesitation. But by 3 or 4 they have already learned that aggression is not right. However, they may pretend to shoot their mother or father, but smiling to assure them that the gun and the aggressive behaviour aren’t to be taken seriously.

In the 6- to 12-year-old period, children will play an earnest game of war, but it has lots of rules. There may be arguments, but real fights are relatively rare. At this age children don’t shoot at their mother or father, even in fun. It’s not that the parents have turned stricter; the children’s own conscience has. In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger, but well brought-up children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends.

In other words, I’d explain that playing at war is a natural step in the disciplining of the aggression of young children; that a cautious parent doesn’t really need to worry about producing a criminal.

But nowadays I’d give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence. A number of incidents have convinced me of the importance of this.

One of the first things that made me change my mind, several years ago, was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about. Her children were hitting each other much more than previously, without reason. When she talked to them, they would protest, “But that’s what the Three Stooges do.” (This was a children’s TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)

What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗殺)of the former President, and the fact that some schoolchildren cheered about this. (I didn’t so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike, “I’d shoot him if I got the chance!”)

These incidents made me think of other evidences that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence. We were hard on the Indians and the later waves of immigrants. At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views. And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories, in movies and on television. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations. I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled, from childhood on.

To me it seems very clear that in order to have a more stable and civilized national life we must bring up the next generation of Americans with a greater respect for law and for other people’s rights than in the past. There are many ways in which we could and should teach these attitudes. One simple opportunity we could seize in the first half of childhood is to show our disapproval of lawlessness and violence in television programs and in children’s gun play.

I also believe that the survival of the world now depends on a much greater awareness of the need to avoid war and to actively seek peaceful agreements. There are enough nuclear arms to completely destroy all civilization. This terrifying situation demands a much greater stability and self-control on the part of national leaders and citizens than they have ever shown in the past. We owe it to our children to prepare them deliberately for this awesome responsibility.

1.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to______.

A. controlling their aggressiveness

B. playing with toy guns

C. aggressive behavior

D. the course of growing up

2.Based on the author’s view about the relationship between children’s aggressiveness and their age, which of the following is true?

B. The older children become, the less aggressive they will be.

C. 6- to 12-year-olds enjoy war games but develop them into argument and serious fights.

D. Adolescents’ aggressiveness is often displayed in the form of competition.

3.What conclusion does the author intend to draw from the story told by the nursery school teacher?

A. Watching violence can lower a child’s standard of behaviour.

B. Violent TV programs should be banned in nursery schools.

C. Children are generally lawless or violent nowadays. I

D. It is acceptable to let children have toy guns

4.What does Paragraph 7 mainly talk about?

A. Examples showing that Americans are more aggressive than other nations.

B. Evidences proving that America has a long history of lawlessness and violence.

C. The idea that children are less able to put their aggressiveness under control.

D. More reasons why the author changed his view on the main issue of the article.

A. To show disapproval of gun play in television programs.

B. To make people aware that there are already enough nuclear arms.

C. To elect national leaders with greater stability and self-control.

D. To bring up children who show more respect for the law and others’ rights.

C. Should Children Play With Guns?

B

If a sitcom(情景喜劇)that lasts for l0 years is considered popular,then surely one that still arouses emotions after 20 must be considered a classic.Friends first aired in the US in 1994,featuring a cast of six young men and women in New York.In the time since,it’s become one of the most famous titles in the sitcom style,aired in over 100 countries and regions in the world.

Against the background of the Internet age,IT staff who were once marginalized(排斥)and laughed at have experienced a revival due to the popularity of hit show The Big Bang Theory,in which four talents lacking normal social skills make an attempt at living on a college campus.

At the same time,Gossip Girl,describing a young cast of New Yorkers born with silver spoons in their mouths,demonstrates the difficulties upper-class adolescents experience.The show’s fashion and mature subject matter allowed it to capture the interest of both teenagers and adults.

One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “l(fā)ast paradise(天堂) on earth”.

However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.

Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.

Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.

Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support form tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.

The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.

1.What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?

A. The Pacific island is a paradise.

B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.

C. The advertisement is not convincing.

D. The advertisement is not impressive

2.The example of Nepal is used to suggest _________ .

A. its natural resources are untouched.

B. its forests are exploited for farmland

C. it develops well in health and education.

D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.

3.What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4 ?

A. They are happy to work their own lands.

B. They have to please the tourists for a living.

C. They have to struggle for their independence.

D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.

4.Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?

A. The number of tourists

B. The improvement of services.

C. The promotion of new products.

D. The management of tourism
