Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,”said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I'll watch her other
three. And when she watches two of mine, I'll take someone out.w The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie's daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “she's like a different child when there's no one else around,” Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的) son, Tom, doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam who's always follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child--talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到) to be an only child at least once in a while.
What is the text mainly about?w
A. The basic needs of children.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The experience of the only child being with mother.
Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ________.
A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly
What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
A. Tom has less difficulty in speaking. B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers. D. The daughter acts like a leader.
The author seems to believe that ________.
A. having brothers and sisters is fun B. it's tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents' full attention D. parents should watch others' children

“Now I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It’s simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we’re fools.
If movies were completely scientifically accurate, they’d probably be as interesting as a Physics 101 lecture. In real life, there are no explosions in space, gas usually doesn’t explode from a lit cigarette, and Bruce Willis / Jackie Chan / Will Smith would most likely be in a coma(昏迷) after getting kicked in the head.
Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.
Telegraph writer Tom Chivers’ first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien(外星人的) spacecraft uses. “It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton antivirus,” jokes Chivers.
It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles(颗粒) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they’d not be seen, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.
Chivers’ second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies: “ the bellow(咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.
Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.
And finally: as Chivers points out, DAN is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die another Day by. In the film the villain(坏人) has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible.
1.What does the text mainly deal with?
A. Plots of some famous movies. B. Characters in space movies.
C. Popularity of space movies. D. Mistakes made in some movies.
2.From the first two paragraphs we can know that some movie makers ____.
A. went against general knowledge of science
B. didn’t pay attention to the viewers’ real demand
C. overestimated viewers’ appreciation of movies.
D. didn’t try their best to improve the quality of the movies.
3.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The newspapers. B. Unconvincing tech moments
C. Some top movies. D. Heroes in the movies.
4.We can learn from Paragraph 7 that ____.
A. most people like Matrix films
B. the truth of Matrix films remains in doubt
C. few people think Matrix films silly
D. Chivers thinks science is unacceptable

首先,请阅读下列关于名著的介绍:
A. Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
The classic love story explores the lives of the five Bennet sisters at the turn of the 19th century in rural England. At that time women were not allowed to get their father’s wealth after his death, so their mother is desperate to marry them off into wealthy families. Therefore various love stories start with the question — whether marriage is for love or for money.
B. The Red and the Black (Stendhal)
Julien has a strong desire for power and glory, and for ridding himself of his low social status as the son of a tradesman. Thus, he tries every means to achieve his goal.
The two colors, red and black, symbolize his inner struggle between being sincere and false. And this conflict in his character finally brings about his downfall.
C. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)
There is great kindness and warmth in this love story. Poor and plain as Jane Eyre is, she has a strong will, sharp wisdom and great courage. She is forced to battle against a harsh employer and a rigid social order. Yet she is never defeated. Standing on her feet, she gains her own happiness in the end.
D. Oliver Twist (Charles Dickens)
It reflects people’s tragic life in Britain in the 18th century. In the story, Oliver Twist, a mild young boy, is born in the workhouse and stays there until he is made to leave. What waits for him next is the falseness of the wealthy and the depths to which poverty pushes the human spirit.
E. Gone with the wind (Margaret Mitchell)
This is an all-time best-seller by Margaret Mitchell. The story takes place during the American Civil War. It records the tragic love stories of Katie Scarlet O’Hara, a southern beauty. In the end of the story, Scarlett is left only with her Tara, a plantation which symbolizes the culture of the Old South, a place where she could ever gather her strength.
