         Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them.For
    success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
    really one's equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
    an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
    by the impression of what the child himself is: not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
    seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
         Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
    do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
    inner peace under all outside liveliness.
         But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
    The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
    different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
    another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
    in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
        To bring up a child means carrying one's soul in one's hand: it means never placing ourselves in danger
    of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the child are
    limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember that the
    child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
    unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the
    other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.

    1. The passage mainly talks about________.

    A. misleading zones and right ways ineducating children
    B. current problems in training children
    C. what should be taught to children
    D. the importance of educating children

    2. Children, according to the passage, are experiencing________.

    A. corrections, orders and peace
    B. orders, interference and peace
    C. interference, orders and corrections
    D. peace, guide and praise

    3. If you were a parent, which of the following methods is TRUE according to the text?

    A. You could treat your children not so seriously for they don't understand many things.
    B. You could train your children as you wish them to be.
    C. You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.
    D. You should correct your children immediately if their behavior is not what you want.

    4. We may conclude that the author believes people should________.

    A. play with the children with enthusiasm all day long just to please them
    B. try to give an order, advice and suggestions to their children at any time
    C. treat their children just as the way they treat an adult in their daily life
    D. regard their children as an equal to them and have understanding of the inner peace of them

    Mad about Mars?

    　　把红色火星改造成蓝色的“生命天堂”？且看科学家们唇枪舌剑辩得失．

    　　The plan: turn Mars into a blue world with streams and green fields, and then fill it with creatures (生物) from the earth.

    　　This idea may sound like something from a science fiction (科幻小说), but it is actually being taken seriously by many researchers.

    　　This suggested future for the “red planet” will be the main topic for discussion at an international conference hosted by NASA (美国宇航局) this week. Leading researchers as well as science fiction writers will attend the event. It comes as NASA is preparing a multi-billion-dollar Mars research programme.

    　　“Turning Mars into a little earth has long been a topic in science fiction,” said Dr Michael Meyer, NASA's senior scientist for astrobiology (太空生物学), “Now, with scientists exploring the reality, we can ask what are the real possibilities of changing Mars.”

    　　Most scientists agree that Mars could be turned into a little earth, although much time and money would be needed to achieve this goal. But many experts are shocked by the idea.

    　　“We are destroying our own world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining another planet,” said Paul Murdin, of the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, UK.

    　　Over the past months, scientists have become increasingly confident they will find Martian life forms. Europe and America's robot explorers have found proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in large amounts on the planet.

    　　In addition, two different groups of scientists announced on March 28 that they had found signs of methane (甲烷) in the Martian atmosphere (大气). The gas is a waste product of living creatures and could be produced by microbes (微生物) living in the red planet's soil.

    　　But scientists such as Dr Lisa Pratt, a biologist at Indiana University, say that these microbes will be put in danger by the little earth project.

    　　“Before we have even discovered if there is life on Mars, we are talking about carrying out projects that would destroy all these native life forms, all the strange microbes that we hope to find buried in the soil,”said Dr Pratt.

    　　This view is shared by Monica Grady, a planetary scientist at the Natural History Museum, London. “We cannot risk starting a global experiment that would wipe out the precious information we are looking for,” she said. “This is just wrong.”

    1．Turning Mars into a little earth ________.

    [　　]

    A．is no longer a topic of science fiction stories

    B．is now under way

    C．is a project whose possibility is being explored

    D．is against human interests

    2．Which of the following is wrong?

    [　　]

    A．Recent proof found by robot explorers that water really exists on Mars has brought hope to scientists looking for life on the planet.

    B．Methane is a kind of gas that is produced by living creatures.

    C．The microbes that exist in Mars' soil could be wiped out by the little earth project.

    D．Scientists still don't have a clear idea about Martian life forms.

    Mad Cow Disease in America

    　　Last Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman announced the first case of mad cow disease in the United States. A test seemed to show bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or B-S-E, in a cow from Washington state. The next day, a laboratory in Waybridge, England, confirmed (proved) the case.

    　　Within hours of the news, Japan, Mexico and South Korea had banned(禁止) imports(进口) of American beef. More than thirty nations have now banned American beef imports. The restrictions(限制) affect about ninety percent of American beef exports worth about three-thousand-million dollars a year.

    　　American agriculture officials say that the nation's supply of beef is safe. They note that only the brain and nerve(神经) matter from the cow can carry B-S-E. They say infected(受感染的) parts of the cow were not processed(加工) for use as food for people.

    　　On Saturday, the top animal doctor for the United States Agriculture Department said the infected cow came from Alberta, Canada. Ron De Haven said the cow was in a group of seventy-four animals bought from Canada two years ago. But a Canadian official noted that Canada's records do not match the American ones. He said there was no clear evidence(证据) that the infected cow came from Canada.

    　　So far, almost five-thousand kilograms of beef have been seized. American officials have temporarily(暂时) closed two farms where the infected cow had been kept and where its half is believed to be.

    　　The situation is harming American beef producers. In May, Canadian officials reported a single case of B-S-E in Alberta. Many nations, including the United States, banned Canadian beef. That ban cost Canada one-million dollars a day.

    　　American beef prices are quickly dropping. An American delegation went to Japan to try to ease fears. Japan has suggested that the United States should expand its B-S-E testing program. Japan tests every cow for the disease.

    　　B-S-E is widely known as mad cow disease. It is caused by deformed proteins(蛋白质) called prions. B-S-E spreads when animals eat food containing processed brains or nervous tissue of infected animals.

    　　A form of B-S-E, Cruetzfeldt-Jakob disease, infects people. Reports say about one hundred and fifty people have died from the disease, mostly in Britain, since B-S-E was first identified in nineteen eighty-six.

    1．Where did America's first case of mad cow disease come from?

    [　　]

    A．China.
    B．the United Kingdom.
    C．Canada.
    D．Mexico.

    2．What effects does mad cow disease have on America's exports?

    [　　]

    A．So far no country has banned the imports of American beef.

    B．More than 30 countries have banned the imports of American beef.

    C．No American beef will be imported into any foreign country.

    D．it will cause American beef exports a great loss of about 3,000 million dollars a month.

    3．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    [　　]

    A．It is believed that now American supply of beef is still safe.

    B．The brain and nerve matter of an infected cow is mostly like to carry B-S-E.

    C．American beef prices will not drop quickly.

    D．Cruetzfeldt-Jakob disease can do great harm to people's health.

    4．What does the underlined word “ease” mean in the last but two paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．To reduce pain or worry.

    B．To make somebody happy.

    C．To become less troublesome or difficult.

    D．To take away pain or worry.

    Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.
    He had nothing but contempt(蔑视) for the things most people set their hearts on --- for fame and riches(财富) and luxury(奢华).
    He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.

    Why You Should Celebrate Your Mistakes

    When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish (珍视) it like it’s the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.

    Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.

    And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.

    Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.

    By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.

    Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.

    Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually … then you construct a model in your mind … then you test it out by trying it in the real world … then you make mistakes … then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation … and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.

    So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.

    56. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?

    A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.

    B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.

    C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.

    D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.

    57. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?

    A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.

    B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.

    C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.

    D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.

    58. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph Six probably means _______.

    A. a small child learning to walk             B. a kindergarten child learning to draw

    C. a primary pupil learning to read                     D. a school teenager learning to write

    59. We can learn from the passage that _______.

    A. most of us can really grow from success

    B. growing and improving are based on mistakes

    C. mistakes are the most precious things in the world 

    D. we read about something and know how to do it right away
