Be an inventor

The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth.

Wrong idea number 1: 1.

Well, inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists. 2.

Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born, not made.

There are a lot of factors that make invention possible. Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a special talent for music. 3. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was in kindergarten.

4. Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!”

Wrong idea number 3: Inventors are always old people.

5. Here is an example of a young inventor: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was 15, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.

A. Everyday things can give people lots of ideas.

B. An invention has to be something completely new.

C. But other factors were also important for his creativity.

D. As a young man, George Nissen invented the trampoline (蹦床).

E. Don't believe that you can’t invent something when you are young.

F. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”!

G. The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.

Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.

Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.

Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.

When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset （思維模式） helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.

So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!

1.By “Language is their life”, the author means that children ________.

A. can’t live without language

B. lead a happy life every day

C. practice a new language a lot

D. are taken good care of adults

2.What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?

A. They are afraid of being laughed at.

B. They usually have too many interests.

C. They think making mistakes is natural.

D. They always make all kinds of mistakes.

3.Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?

A. The behaviors they have.

B. The learning attitudes.

C. The future plans they have made.

D. The materials they are using.

4.According to the author, a new language ________.

A. can never be learned by the old people

B. can be grasped by the old people easily

C. can be understood only by the old people

D. can be learned by both the old and the young

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard(警惕).

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（邊界）to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security（安全）rules.

The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings. As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海關(guān)）station in this area is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）.

Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.

1.We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .

A．a(chǎn)n American living in Township 15

B．a(chǎn) Canadian living in a Quebec village

C．a(chǎn) Canadian working in a customs station

D．a(chǎn)n American working in a Canadian church

2.Albert was fined because he .

A．failed to obey traffic rules

B．broke the American security rules

C．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass

D．damaged the gate of the customs office

3.The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means .

A．a(chǎn) drive through the town

B．a(chǎn) race across the fields

C．a(chǎn) roundabout way of travelling

D．a(chǎn) journey in the mountain area

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A．A Cross-country Trip

B．A Special Border Pass

C．An Unguarded Border

D．An Expensive Church Visit

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like good sportsmanship.

Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (具有運(yùn)動家品格的人) respect the other players on their team. They respect the players on opposing teams. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.1. They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.

Kids usually learn sportsmanship — good and bad — from the adults in their lives. 2. If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.

3. Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.

Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (禮貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life._ 4. Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.

So be a good sport in whatever you do！5._ When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that win?ning isn't the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills!

A．Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.

B．On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.

C．The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

D．Players' parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.

E．We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.

F．Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.

G．If you're a good sport on the field, you'll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.
