We’re raising children!
A famous research scientist was being interviewed why he was so much more creative.
小題1: He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his balance and it fell, spilling its contents all the kitchen floor—a veritable sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, she said , “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk.小題2:Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After several minutes, his mother said,“You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.  小題3: We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle. Let’s fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. 小題4: 
This scientist remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. 小題5:  
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him?
A．Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new.
B．Well, the damage has already been done.
C．What set him so far apart from others?
D．What a wonderful lesson!
E.    So, how would you like to do that?
F.    Such an opportunity of experiencing was delightful to him.
G.   He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two years old.

Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil（不存在）, many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne（升空的）.
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.
Choose larger aircraft
Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply（遵守）with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in t he unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem repetitious（重復(fù)的）, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence（氣流）.
Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this, but it’s important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.
小題1:Whom is the passage meant for?
A．Pilots.B．Flight attendants.C．Passengers.D．Airlines.
小題2:The underlined word “those” in the second tip refers to”______” .
A．smaller planesB．passengersC．larger aircraftsD．safety records
小題3:What does the author really mean by saying “Cabin crew always tells you this, but it’s important.” In the 5th tip?
A．Many people don’t pay enough attention to fastening their seat belt.
B．All passengers are glad to accept the crew’s advice.
C．The crew are very responsible.
D．There is no need to remind people to fasten their seat belt.
小題4:Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A．Larger planes have more safety checks and are safer.
B．Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.
C．Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.
D．Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.
小題5:The best title of the passage should be”_____”.
A．The safest way to travelB．Air safety tips
C．Non-stop routesD．How to fly a plane

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of out brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain sizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract(萎縮) with age.
Contraction of front and side parts, as cells(細(xì)胞) die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction---using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than those in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
小題1: The team of doctors wanted to find out ____.
A．a(chǎn)t what point people grow live longer.
B．how to make people live longer
C．the size of certain people’s brains.
D．which group of people are the busiest
小題2:Their research findings are based on ______.c
A．a(chǎn)n examination of farmers in northern Japan
B．using computer technology
C．examining the brain sizes of different people
D．tests given a thousand old people
小題3:The doctor’s tests show that ______.
A．our brains contract as we grow older
B．one part of the brain does not contract
C．sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D．contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country
小題4: According to the article, _____ are growing mentally old earlier.
A．engineersB．office clerksC．professorsD．researchers
小題5:The most possible conclusion of the article is that ____.
A．most of us should take more exercise

Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco-friendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.
A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco-friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak（浸人）slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.
Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco-friendly “green” way to treat storm water.
What’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.
Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the locals climatem, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once the native plants establish the necessary root system, it will require little care.
Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don’t need to be a professional environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you’re eco-conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.
小題1:Which of the following is the eco-friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4?
A．They can keep the rain and storm water.
B．They can help reduce the pollution problem.
C．They can be healthy for the people around.
D．They can make the environment more beautiful.
小題2:One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that           .
A．they cost less and are much easier to get
B．they may attract local wildlife to come
C．they require little care from the local gardeners
D．they are more used to the local growing conditions
小題3:What do we know about rain gardens?
A．They need little water after all the plants are planted.
B．They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.
C．They may attract local birds and change the locals climate.
D．They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.
小題4:Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A．Homeowners.B．Governors.C．Engineers,D．Educators.

What is most likely to affect your success at school or at a job? The ability to read. And that goes for your kids too. The declining literacy(讀寫(xiě)能力的下降) of our society has been a main concern of educators for a while now, and yet things are not getting better.
In most cases, how well we learn to read will depend largely on our exposure（接觸） to language as children. If we hear people around us talking about all kinds of subjects as children, we naturally pick up the words and phrases they use. If we pick up a lot of words, we will learn to read better.
Much of the traditional advice to struggling readers, theses days, seems to include developing “cognitive strategies”（認(rèn)知策略）. In this way, readers are asked to centre more, to think, to be interested and ask questions, to analyze, to predict, to reason, and to check their understanding, or worse still to answer questions of what they have read. In other words they are asked to become self-conscious（有自我意識(shí)的） readers. I do not agree with this approach.
Here are my several strategies for reading improvement.
Read about things that interest you. If you are interested in what you are reading about, the words will come alive, and you will understand better. The more you read, the better you will become at reading. Just get started and it will become a habit, as long as you are interested in what you are reading.
Read material that is at your level or just a little difficult for you. Read material that you find easy to read, or just a little challenging. Looking up many unknown words in a dictionary is dull, and the results of the dictionary search are quickly forgotten.
_____ If you can hear the new words and phrases that you are reading, you will have an easier time understanding and remembering them. Hearing the rhythm of someone reading a text will help your own reading.
Don’t worry about what you don’t understand. Most of your reading should be for pleasure. You can still enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way.
Unfortunately not all reading is just for pleasure. When you are reading a textbook or report or other material for school, you may need to underline, take notes and read some parts over again. However, if you have developed the habit of reading for pleasure, you will find that the skills you need will come naturally, and that you will understand a lot better than before.
小題1:In Paragraph 2, the author tells us the importance of _____.
A．hearing people around as childrenB．talking ability as children
C．contacting different peopleD．learning different languages
小題2:Which sentence is best to be filled in the blank in the passage?
A．Listen as much as possible.B．Try to use your imagination.
C．Great works need to be read out loud.D．Listen first if you have trouble reading.
小題3:It can be learned from the last paragraph that _____.
A．you should find pleasure from reading a textbook
B．the habit of reading for pleasure is important
C．reading for school is helpful for reading for pleasure
D．reading for school requires different skills from reading for pleasure
小題4:What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A．To tell us some ways to improve reading ability.
B．To show that poor literacy has been a big problem.
C．To teach us how to look for fun in reading.
D．To tell us some ways to pick up new words and phrases.

Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.
The first is called the " tank(貯水池) test". A modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (結(jié)構(gòu))of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (壓力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is try­ing to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode (爆炸)in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air.  The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger. 
The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.
小題1:By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out _______.
A．the amount of air in the planeB．the strength of the plane structure
C．the pressure inside and outside the planeD．the power of the airplane engines
小題2:What will happen to the plane under the "tank test"?
A．It will be broken.B．It will be made stronger.
C．It will be filled with water.D．It will be tested by pilots,
小題3:According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?
A．The plane may explode in the air.B．The pilot may lose control of the plane.
C．The engines may be damaged.D．Too much air may get into the plane.
小題4:What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A．Two Important Tests on Airplanes B．The Importance of Flying Safely
C．The Danger of Testing Airplanes D．How Airplanes Are Made and Tested

Cities in Europe and around the world may be growing “bike trees” in the near future. Invented by Japan’s JFE Engineering Corp, the invention proved useful in the busiest parts of this nation’s crowded cities.
Local governments of Japan have struggled for ways to encourage people to park their bikes considerably, particularly close to big stations, but that may block some roads and entrances to homes and businesses. “Our cities do not have a lot of space for any kind of parking, including bicycles.” said Mitsuharu Oshima, a spokesman for JFE Engineering. The bike tree comes in two types: one in a tower that is above ground and on the contrary, the other in an underground structure.
A cyclist registers with the operator of the equipment, pays a monthly fee and pushes the wheels of his bicycle into restraints(管理處) at the base of the bike tree. Each bicycle is fitted with an electronic card with the owner’s details. A mechanical arm then pulls the bike into the base of the tower and moves it to a free location inside. To collect the bike later, the cyclist puts his card through a reader and his bike is automatically returned to him in seconds. “The science of the equipment has been difficult —— even though they may look quite simple —— because bikes come in many different shapes and sizes.” said Oshima.
As well as clearing away the road, bicycles cannot be stolen from a bike tree. There are presently versions at seven sites in Japan and two others are under construction, while work is under way on an even larger version —— with room for 9400 bicycles —— in Thailand. And Oshima believes that the idea could catch on in Europe, particularly in countries such as France, Holland and Denmark , where cycling is so popular.
小題1: Cities build this kind of “bike trees” so that they can _______.
A．a(chǎn)sk more people to ride bikesB．provide more jobs for people
C．make more money than beforeD．save more room for people
小題2:Which is the right order of the following things when you use the bike tree?
① the wheels of the bicycle are put into restraints at the base .
② the card is read and the bike is automatically returned .
③ an electronic card with the owner’s details is given
④ the bike is pulled and moved to a free location inside .
A．③②①④B．③①④②C．②①④③D．②④③①
小題3: What made it difficult to design “bike trees”?
A．The location of “bike trees”.B．The method of finding enough bikes.
C．The differences of the bikes.D．The importance of traffic safety
小題4: From the passage, we can know that _______.
A．countries with many cyclists in Europe will like the idea of “bike trees”
B．there are seven “bike trees” used for holding bikes in Japan
C．local government of Japan encourage people to ride bikes
D．cyclists can use “bike trees” for free in Japan.

Humpback whales
Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean. This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive. The name “humpback”, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale’s back forms as it dives.
Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement, known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.
A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of the head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 meters above the water.
The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black, and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same.
Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate with each other through complex “songs”.
Quick Facts
Size:
14m~18m in length
30~50 tons in weight
Living environment:
Open ocean and shallow coastline waters
Migration:
From warm tropical (熱帶的) waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat.
Diet:
Shellfish, plants and fish of small size
Hunting:
Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net” around a school of fish. The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass.
Current state:
Endangered: it is estimated that there are about 5000~7000 humpback whales worldwide.
 
小題1:According to Quick Facts, a humpback whale ______.
A．cannot survive in waters near the shore
B．doesn’t live in the same waters all the time
C．lives mainly on underwater plants
D．prefers to work alone when hunting food
小題2:To make a breach, a humpback whale must ______.
A．use its tail flukes to leap out of the water
B．twist its body sideways to jump high.
C．blow two streams of water
D．communicate with a group of humpbacks.
小題3:From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale ______.
A．has its unique markings on it tail flukes
B．has black and white fingerprints
C．gets its name from the way it hunts
D．is a great performer due to its songs
