6.One hot night last July,when our new baby wouldn't or couldn't sleep,I tried everything I could think of:a warm bottle,songs,gentle rocking.Nothing would settle him.Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me,I brought a portable(手提式的) TV into his room,figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn.To my surprise,as soon as the TV lit up,the baby quieted right down,his little eyes focused (集中) brightly on the tube.Not to waste an opportunity for sleep,I then tiptoes(踮腳尖) out of the room,leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi's forty-fifth birthday.
My wife and I heard none of the baby that night,and the next morning when I went into his room,I found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby's behavior a metaphor(暗語) for the new generation.My wife and I had given him some books to examine,but he merely spit upon(不屑一顧) them.When we read to him,he did not feel comfortable.And so it is in the schools.We find that our students don't read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it.All they want to do is watch TV.After this experience with the baby,however,I have reached a conclusion:"Let them watch it!"If television is that much more attractive to children than books,why should we fight it?Let them watch it all they want!
29.Why did the author bring a TV set into his son's room?B
A.To make his son stop crying.
B.To spend the night by watching TV programs.
C.To leave it to his son.
D.To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.
30.The baby's reaction to the TV program wasA.
A.unexpected   
B.exciting   
C.a(chǎn)wful   
D.calm
31.According to the passage,which is true of the school children?C
A.They prefer reading to watching TV.
B.They like watching TV only after school.
C.They would rather watch TV than read books.
D.They like their teachers who teach them reading.
32.What do you think is the author's attitude towards TV expressed in the last two sentences?A
A.Favorable.
B.Serious.
C.Not favorable.
D.Not serious.

11.Visiting a new place can be a scary experience for a lot of people because it could include speaking in a language that most people are not comfortable with----English.So how can you keep away from this kind of situation?Learn how to speak English fluently.Here are 4English speaking tips you must know to become a more confident English speaker.
1.Listen first.
One of the best English speaking tips is to listen carefully to understandable English EVERY DAY.Most people turn to textbooks to study English grammar rules,but you cannot learn the correct English pronunciation of the words merely by reading them.You do not need to learn grammar in detail because this can prevent you from speaking English fluently.
Instead,listen to how native English speakers pronounce and observe their mouth movements.Also watch English shows and movies to build on your English accent and improve your vocabulary.
2.Practice makes perfect.
Studies show that you'll probably spend three months of practice every day in order to have strong mouth muscles.Read aloud in English for 15to 20minutes a day in front of the mirror,which helps in accent reduction and improves your English communication skills.
Also,practice with your friends and family.Talking with a good English speaker can help improvise (即興發(fā)揮) your usage of words and formation of sentences.
3.Think in English.
One of the most effective English speaking tips is to think in English.What most English learners do in the early stages of learning is that they think of what they have to say in their native language,translate and then say it in English.This can be mentally tiring.
If your goal is to speak English fluently,you need to learn"thinking"in English.Make up the sentences in English as you think about them before saying them.With practice,you will be able to respond automatically in English.
4.Be more confident.
All these English speaking tips will be in vain if you are not that confident in your English speaking skills.It is quite natural to commit errors when learning a new language.
Try to relax if you're speaking in English.When you speak at a normal speed,you'll discover that you will be able to pronounce the words correctly and people will understand you.Most of the time,the person you are talking to is not even aware of your errors.
In a word,learning English does not happen overnight.It takes a lot of time,effort and practice.Don't get too frustrated and never give up.Follow these English speaking tips and practice daily.Soon,you would learn to speak English fluently as if it is your own language.

English speaking tips you must know
IntroductionIt's many people's dream to (90)avoidthe discomfort from being unable to speak English in a new place.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tips
Listen first.
v Seeking help from textbooks won't enable you to learn the (91)correctEnglish pronunciation.

4.In 1819,a Danish scientist named Hans Christian Oersted discovered the close relationship between electricity and magnetism through an experiment.His discovery led to the study of electromagnetism(電磁).Try Oersted's experiment yourself!
Materials you will need:a small non-metal bowl,a needle(針),a magnet,two wires(電線),a power pack(電源組).___________:1.Touch the needle 50times from the center to one end with the magnet.Place it in a bowl of water.2.Watch the movement of the needle when you put the magnet near it.3.Place the wire over the top of the bowl.4.Link one end of the wire to the switch.5.Link both ends of the wire to the ends of the power pack.6.Close the switch.
Now you've done the experiment that Oersted did and have known that there's a magnetic field around the wire when the electric current(電流)is flowing.When the current flows,the needle turns aside.
This experiment is one of the most important in the use of electric power,and led to the discovery of electromagnetism and the development of the electric engine.

76.What should you watch during the experiment?
The movement of the needle.
77.What's the passage mainly about?(Please answer within 8words)
How to do Oersted's experiment.
78.Fill in the blank with appropriate words.(Please answer within 6words.)
Steps to take
79.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?The ends of the wire should be connected with the ends of the power pack.
Link both ends of the wire to the ends of the power pack.
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4into Chinese.
這個實驗是電能使用最重要的實驗之一,它導(dǎo)致了電磁的發(fā)現(xiàn)推動了電動機的發(fā)展..
