    Due to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world，more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can assure their safety and well-being，although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge with the safety of the students．
    The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time．They want to do everything．they watch on TV and never think at the consequences，and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher．
    On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results．
    When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing，how he is writing，or if he understands the explanations．At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper．
    And many times．the child grows fond of the teacher at home，who becomes his best friend，and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to．    
    However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home，because school makes children communicate and socialize．Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him．only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is．Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child．
    All in all．schools have been created to help children，not to harm them，so it’s best to keep children in these special places，where they learn，laugh，have fun and make new friends．

    Most people believe they don't have imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us，once we became adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve，a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
    This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First，think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image，word，idea or object，for example，a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles：light，fire，matches, wax，night，silence，etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
    　  Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money，etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If，for example，your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December，or every Monday in January.
    Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators use this technique in business，and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!
    小题1:According to the passage, when we become adults, _________ .
    A．most of us are no longer creativeB．we can still learn to be more creative
    C．we are not as imaginative as childrenD．we are unwilling to be creative
    小题2:The second technique suggests that you just imagine
    A．setting a goal is as simple as skiing
    B．new possibilities will soon appear
    C．December and January are the best months for skiing.
    D．you have every resource to achieve your goal
    小题3:The phrase “put yourself in their shoes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______  .
    A．dress yourself like themB．think as they would
    C．do as they ask you toD．put on their shoes
    小题4:We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself “ _________ ?”.
    A．what do I usually doB．what did my boss tell me to do
    C．what are my customers' needsD．how should I sell my products

    Everyone is at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖).
    Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk. Most items（e.g. tables, computers, and books）ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “ Buy It Now ” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
    If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids（出价）for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
    How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card (信用卡).
    Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
    The big things in life: It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by delivery men. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．How to make payment online.
    B．Ways of using delivery online.
    C．Advantages of an online-auction system.
    D．How to use an online-auction system.

    With the Tesla Roadster and other plug­in (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road，demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicago­based company，has now demonstrated a solar­powered recharging point, known as the Solar Plug­In Station，which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.
    The Solar Plug­In Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive，the Solar Plug­In Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.
    These solar­powered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollution­free solar cell, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.
    “Solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations，marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations. The Solar Plug­In Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack，ready for everyday refueling.
    “Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations，” says Scott Emalfarb，CEO at Carbon Day.“The day of true plug­in electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate them.”

    “If you talk to the plants, they will grow faster and the effect is even better if you’re a woman.” Researchers at Royal Horticultural Society carried out an experiment to find that the voice of a woman gardener makes plants grow faster.
    The experiment lasted a month and by the end of the study scientists managed to discover that tomato plants grew up two inches taller when women gardeners talked to them instead of male.
    Sarah Darwin was the one making the plants the best growth. Her voice was the most “inspiring” for plants than those of nine other gardeners when reading a passage from The Origin of Species. The great-great-granddaughter of the famous botanist （植物学家）Charles Darwin found that her plant grew about two inches taller than the plant of the best male gardener.
    Colin Crosbie, Garden Superintendent at RHS, said that the finding cannot yet be explained.He says that women have a greater range of pitch and tone（音高和音色）which might have a certain effect on the sound waves that reach the plant. “Sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light ,”said Mr Grosbie.
    The study began in April at RHS Garden Wisley in Survey. Scientists started with open auditions(听力) for the people who were asked to record passages from John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer's Night Dream and Darwin's The Origin of Species.
    Afterwards researchers selected a number of different voices and played them to 10 tomato plants during a period of a month. Each plant had headphones connected to it. Through the headphones the sound waves could hit the plants. It was discovered that plants that “listened” to female voices grew taller by an inch in comparison to plants that heard male voices.
    小题1:What does the passage talk about?
    A．Plants enjoy men’s voices than women’s.
    B．A science experiment in a museum.
    C．Voice’s influence on plant growing.
    D．Strange findings at Royal Horticultural Society.
    小题2:What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
    A．Plants need sound as well as rain and light.
    B．Sound is basic for the plant to grow.
    C．Sound has a good effect as rain or light does.
    D．Plants can’t live without sound, rain or light.
    小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．The experiment ended in May.
    B．Scientist can explain the findings clearly.
    C．Plants enjoy listening to the passages from famous works.
    D．The findings are of great importance to human beings.

    It takes years of school to develop math skills, but learning about numbers starts earlier than you might think. Now according to a new study, at three months, babies have already started acquiring a concept (概念) of “how much”.
    Previous research had suggested that very young babies can tell when the number of objects (物体) in a group has changed. But the babies in these studies were simply reacting generally to the fact that something had changed, they suspected.
    Researchers of Harvard University studied 36 babies, all three months old. During the tests, each baby wore a hat with sensors (传感器). The babies watched a series of images on a computer screen. They showed the same object, such as a cartoon character. For a while, the number of the objects in the pictures didn’t change. Then the images began to display a different object, or a different number of one of the objects the babies had previously looked at. As soon as something changed, the babies’ brains responded with a specific pattern of electrical signals, which would be recorded by sensors.
    By analyzing these signals, the researchers discovered that one part of the brain (near the top on the left side) responded when the object in the image changed. A different part of the brain (lower and on the right side) responded when the number of objects in the image changed. This was not the area of the brain that is involved in attention. That suggests that the babies’ brains are doing more than just reacting to a change in what they’re seeing – they actually seem to be able to tell number changes from other types of changes.
    Numbers and amounts are important concepts in our lives. Even though babies are years away from adding, subtracting (减), multiplying, and dividing, their brains seem to be preparing for a time when they finally will.
    小题1:Why were hats with sensors used in the study?
    A．To record the images on the computer screen.
    B．To remind babies of the changes of numbers.
    C．To record the electrical activity of each baby’s brain.
    D．To help babies concentrate on the computer screen.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to?
    A．Babies involved in the study.
    B．Sensors worn by the babies.
    C．Numbers marked on the objects.
    D．Images shown on the computer screen.
    小题3:Which part of the brain is responsible for responding to the changes of numbers?
    A．The top.
    B．The left side.
    C．The lower and the right side.
    D．The upper and the left side.
    小题4:The last paragraph mainly implies that           .
    A．babies are in fact cleverer than they are thought
    B．it is impossible to understand human brain completely
    C．numbers play the most important part in people’s lives
    D．the ability of babies remain a mystery to scientists
    小题5:The purpose of the study is to prove that          .
    A．math skills should be developed as early as possible
    B．numbers are easier for babies to judge than images
    C．babies really do have some sense of numbers
    D．babies can react differently to what they see

    There are two methods by which hydrogen (氢) can be used to power cars. The first way is to use hydrogen to drive the engine, in much the same way as many cars use gas. The second method is to use the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen in a battery, making the car a kind of electric one.
    The dream of producing hydrogen in the car while driving along by electrolyzing（电解）water is a long way off, so we are still at the period of batteries and filling the tank with hydrogen gas. This is the difficulty for potential car users and producers. There are only sixteen hydrogen filling stations in Los Angeles and none in 99% of other cities worldwide.
    Indeed, some of the big name automobile producers have pulled out of the race to put the first practical hydrogen car on the streets. Ford and GM have announced that they are pulling out in America and so has Renault in France.
    However, the Japanese companies are pressing on. In fact, Honda introduced its first hydrogen fuel cell car in 1999. They are now producing second generation hydrogen car known as the FCX Clarity. Guess where they are available for sale? In only one city because of its filling stations.
    Honda thinks that they could go into full-scale production of the FCX Clarity by 2020 if the world is prepared for them by then.
    Then there are hydrogen-powered buses in several European cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, London, Luxembourg and Madrid. Lotus, the makers of London taxis, have announced that they propose to manufacture hydrogen-powered taxis in time for the London Olympics.
    So, the hydrogen vehicle is out there and the numbers will be growing fairly soon. The buses go back to their bus station, where an electrolyzing machine changes water into fuel for them to fill up on and the same will be the case for many of London’s taxis.
    Unfortunately, getting fuel is not the only difficulty for the average motorist, a number of these vehicles cost about $300,000 each.
    小题1:According to the text, hydrogen-powered buses ________.
    A．can easily be filled up with gas.
    B．are likely to sell well in the future.
    C．are mainly used in the United States
    D．won’t be used in the London Olympics
    小题2:What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 5 refer to?
    A．Japanese companiesB．Hydrogen buses
    C．The FCX ClarityD．Filling stations
    小题3:Where are hydrogen cars currently available for sale?
    A．In BarcelonaB．In HamburgC．In LondonD．In Los Angeles
    小题4:We can learn from the text that ________.
    A．there are sixty hydrogen filling stations all over the world
    B．hydrogen vehicles fueled by water will be very expensive
    C．Honda will mass-produce the FCX Clarity by 2012
    D．Honda produced its first hydrogen car in 1989

    Light for the City
    Edison and his assistants came to New York to set up an electric power system. They hoped it would provide enough electricity to light up a part of the great city.
    They bought several machines with them. These were called generators(发电机), which produced electricity power for lamps in Edison’s building.
    Soon there were lights for the building. Edison lived in a room facing the street and he often worked over night. The light burned brightly and steadily and he often worked over night. People often came and stopped their horse-drawn carriage to look. Everyone knew that Thomas Edison was in town.
    First, the inventor and his assistants produced several large generators. A great deal of power would be needed to light up even a small part of the city. Then the workers were busy digging deep trenches in the hard earth below the city streets, and Edison had fourteen miles of wire laid into the trenches. The wire connected each building to a generator.
    Setting up an electric power system was not an easy job. It took a year and a half. In September, 1882, the job was finished.
    A small group of men stood around Edison inside the power house. The big moment came at last. The inventor, taking a deep breath, pulled a switch. The electric lights flashed up.
    “Very good! Very good!” a man nearby shouted to praise Edison for what he had done.
    “Sir,” said Edison, “this is only the beginning!” And Edison was right. Soon Edison’s lamp were lighting up cities all over the world.                
    小题1:The generators they brought with them could produce as much as electricity as ______ needed.
    A．Edison’s buildingB．a small part of the city
    C．the whole cityD．the world

    The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.
    Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
    Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
    In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
    Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.
    “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”
    小题1:What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
    A．The absence of blackboard in classroom.
    B．The use of new technologies in teaching.
    C．The lack of practice in handwriting.
    D．The popular use of smartphones.
    小题2:Berninger’s study published in 2009 ___________.
    A．focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.
    B．indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
    C．found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
    D．discussed the importance of writing speed.
    小题3:Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
    A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
    B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
    C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
    D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
    小题4:What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?
    A．Window.B．SoulC．Picture.D．Imagination.
    小题5:What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
    A．Computers can help people with their choice of words.
    B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
    C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
    D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.
