    It was the last day of the final exam in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence(自信的). 
    They knew the exam would be easy. The professor (a teacher at a college) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.
Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.
    Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression(表情). The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, “How many of you have finished all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.    “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”
    The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.

A 14-year-old British student is packing for the next day of school: textbooks, notebooks, pens, 250 grams of flour, an egg and some cooking oil. Wait, what? It's not a joke.
From September, cookery will be a compulsory (必修的) course for kids aged 7-14 in the UK.Primary school students will learn how to put things together and make simple, healthy food.
At high school, students will then master a number of different meals. They will also learn some cooking skills including baking.
Britain is sometimes known as a country with bad food and unhealthy eating habits. These new courses are part of the country's effort to bring healthy food back onto the table.
“One in four British families no longer has a table that everyone can eat around. One out of every two meals we eat is eaten alone. Only four out of ten of us enjoy eating meals with our children,” British writer Joanna Blythman wrote in her book Bad Food Britain: How A Nation Ruined Its Appetite (食欲) in 2006.
Instead, ready meals have become the first choice for many British kids, because their parents are often too busy to cook a proper meal.
The Department for Education hopes that the cookery courses can introduce children to good food and reduce childhood obesity.
“It's important that children can develop an interest and understanding of good food,” said a spokesman for the department.
“We want to encourage them to develop a love of food and cooking that will stay with them as they grow up.

  1. (1) Students under 14 in the UK _______.

    A . are fond of cooking B . love to eat junk food C . will learn how to cook at school D . have to prepare breakfast by themselves
  2. (2) From the passage, we can learn that _______.

    A . many British people have unhealthy eating habits B . people in Britain don't love to eat around the table C . parents cook meals for their kids although they are busy D . many British people don't like to eat with their families
  3. (3) The aim of the cookery course is to help children _______.

    A . have a good appetite B . learn more life skills C . learn to do housework at home D . enjoy eating and cooking healthy food
  4. (4) The underlined word “obesity” in the passage means _______ in Chinese.

    A . 厌学 B . 懒惰 C . 肥胖 D . 贪玩

    When we play a game with our classmates or friends, we usually need to make some rules first. I think it's very important to have rules.

There are lots of rules in my school. We must get to school on time. We have to wear the school uniform on Mondays and Thursdays. We can't run in the hallways. We can't fight. I think it's very good to have rules at school.

     Teaching your child to read can be one of the most rewarding(值得的) experiences you have as a parent.

      Nothing can replace the head start(起步时的优势)that a child receives from becoming familiar with books and the way that the written word sounds when read aloud. If your child sees that reading is important to you, then he will be much more likely to want to learn how to read himself.

       If your child shows interest in learning letters and looking through books, he may be ready to begin learning to read. Learning how to read cannot be rushed. If your child has no interest in learning his letters, then wait a month or so and try again.

      You can make this fun, such as saying “I see a [k]-[æ]-[t]-cat” whenever you see a cat. The sound of a letter is much more important than a letter's name because the child will need to combine the letter sounds to make words.

      Some children learn their letters faster by seeing or hearing them, while other children learn letters by using their bodies. Encourage your child to draw the letter and then paste pictures of something that begins with that sound onto the letter. Sing songs about the letter. Read your child a story that repeatedly uses that letter sound.


      Rather than try to teach a child 26 new letters at one time, focus on one letter a day or a week. This enable the child to master each letter sound and feel proud of himself/herself for doing so.


A. Read to your child daily.

B. Show your child your love for reading.

C.  Make sure your child is ready to begin learning how to read.

D. Focus on one letter at a time.

E. Teach your child the sound of each letter.

F. Use sight, sound and touch as you teach each letter.

    You may have heard of MOOCs—Massive Open Online Courses(大规模在线开放课程).

    These courses are given by famous universities around the world. They were usually for university students or adults, but that's changing. MOOCs are also for younger learners now.

    Mr Wei is a teacher from a middle school in Shanghai. He opened several computer courses last year. He recorded his courses and put them on the Internet as a part of the "MOOCs Go to Middle School" project in China. Middle school students can now choose from those online courses and study by themselves outside school.

    Some teachers are worried. Although they can learn a lot from MOOCs, middle school students may not have enough time to take MOOCs outside the class.

    In November, 2012, a university in the USA opened the world's first free MOOC for middle school students—a three-week class on biology. About 200 middle school students took the class and some were from as far away as China. You see, time and distance are not problems for eager learners.

  1. (1) MOOCs were usually for__________ in the past.
    A . university students B . middle school students C . pets D . pupils
  2. (2) Mr Wei put several________ courses on the Internet.
    A . biology B . history C . maths D . computer
  3. (3) Some teachers worry that students________.
    A . don't have enough time to take MOOCs B . can't learn anything from MOOCs C . can't understand the courses D . don't like MOOCs
  4. (4) The underlined word "eager" means "________ " in Chinese.
    A . 勤奋的 B . 有经验的 C . 渴望的 D . 慢性的
阅读下列短文,从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

    "I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net." "I often check my e-mail forty times a day." "I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net." "I spend more time in chat rooms(聊天室) than with my 'real-1ife' friends."

    Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品) use. People lose control(控制) of the time they spend on the Internet

    For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.

    Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.

    Is "surfing the net" a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms(症状):

    You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.

    You can't wait for your next online time.

    You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.

    You go out with your friends less and less.

  1. (1) What does the beginning of the passage tell us?
    A . How to become an Internet addict. B . What an Internet addict usually does. C . Where to find an Internet addict. D . Why to write this passage.
  2. (2) How does the writer describe the addicts' use of Internet?
    A . It is something like keeping drugs. B . It is a way of producing drugs. C . It is like taking drugs. D . It is terrible to imagine.
  3. (3) Why do people worry about the teens?
    A . The teens are wasting too much money. B . They used to work on the Internet. C . The playing field of the teens will disappear. D . More and more of the teens will become addicted to the Internet.
  4. (4) The example in the passage shows that _______.
    A . Internet problems are more serious among college students B . Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep C . Some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted D . The police often help to find those Internet addicts
  5. (5) What is the writer trying to tell us at the end of the passage?
    A . Don't be addicted to the Internet. B . Go to family activities more often. C . Do things as you have planned. D . Stay with your parents as often as possible.

    Yang Yu, 14, of Jilin, hasn't adapted (适应) himself to the changes in his classroom since the first day of this term: teachers now hold classes with a computer and screen. "Instead of writing on the blackboard as before, they click the mouse and show us the Power Point (PPT) slides (幻灯片) on the screen. Sometimes, there is not even one word on the blackboard after a whole class," Yang said. "I'm not quite used to the multimedia (多媒体) class."

    More and more middle schools in China now use multimedia in class. Teachers put their courses on a computer and show their lessons with a PPT. To make the lessons more interesting, they play animations (动画) and movies.

    Hu Wei, an English teacher in Sichuan, thinks multimedia class seems to be more interesting than traditional classes. His students practice their oral English by following music and animations on a computer. "It helps them speak English bravely and actively," Hu says. "Besides, it's also a helpful tool for teachers because showing PPTs saves us more time than writing notes on the blackboard."

    However, multimedia class makes things more difficult for students like Liu Yifang, a 15-year-old Beijinger. She can't take all her notes as before. "There are no words on the blackboard, but many on the screen," Liu says. "Besides, my teacher speaks so fast that I can't catch up."

    Liu thinks it is not the best way to learn. "For me, I like the old way. I agree that the multimedia is helpful, but so is the blackboard," Liu says. "If teachers can use both tools properly in class, I think that will be really good for everyone."

  1. (1) What equipment (设备) do Yang Yu's teachers use in multimedia class?
  2. (2) According to Paragraph 2, what can teachers do to make their lessons more interesting?
  3. (3) How do teachers save students more time in class according to Hu Wei?
  4. (4) How many reasons does Liu Yifang mention why she can't take all her notes as before?
  5. (5) What's Liu Yifang's advice on class teaching?

    If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?

    According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉).

    The study also found the effect (效果) is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. "Our findings suggest that the structure (结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.

    It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. "Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的)," he said. "You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."

    The findings had the same result in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. "Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.

  1. (1) From Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2, we can learn that         .
    A . learning a second language can make you smarter B . grammar is not very important in learning English C . you can start to learn another language if you are smart D . it is best to learn a second language in a British university
  2. (2) The underlined word "bilinguals" in Paragraph 3 most probably means         .
    A . people who study language learning B . people who can speak two languages C . languages spoken by British people D . languages children learn before five
  3. (3) Dr. Andrea Mechelli and his team have found that         .
    A . it is not very good to start learning a language too early B . it usually takes quite a long time to master a new language C . learning a second language changes the structure of the brain D . people who don't learn a second language have no grey matter
  4. (4) In the last two paragraphs, the writer tells us that         .
    A . the younger you start to learn a second language, the better B . improving math skills is as difficult as learning a second language C . Italian people are supposed to learn English as a second language D . the best age to learn a second language is between two and thirty-four
  5. (5) This passage is mainly about         .
    A . language learning and math skills B . how to learn a second languagewell C . the importance of learning English D . the good effect of learning a language

I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.

Today we started our new school term. We were very happy to see friends again. But the most exciting of all, the new term is the time to plan new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to plan new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Deciding to start something new is a common New Year resolution.

Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free time or after school. You have to pay for some classes and others are free. For example, I once took a free Friday evening gymnastics(体操) class my school offered. But when I wanted to learn how to play the drum, my parents had to pay for the lessons.

The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons. We also like playing a role in the drama (戏剧) club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But the students with hob-bies left school with many extra skills.

I have not stopped any of the hobbies I began at school. Although sometimes I may feel very tired, there are also some good reasons for me to insist on it. And I have never regretted taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class. We have the same hobby and we spend time a lot.

  1. (1) When a new school term starts, the most exciting thing for students is         .
    A . to see friends again B . to plan new hobbies C . to take different kinds of hobby classes D . to learn how to play the drum
  2. (2) When can the writer learn to play the drum in the hobby class?
    A . When a new school term starts. B . After the Christmas holidays. C . In the free time or after school. D . When the school classes begin.
  3. (3) The writer has never regretted taking his hobby classes because        .
    A . they were all free B . they didn't offer exams C . they didn't make the writer feel more stressed D . the writer made his best friend in a hobby class
  4. (4) What is the best title for this passage?
    A . Different Kinds of Hobbies B . We Started Our New School Term C . I Met a Friend in My Gymnastics Class D . The New Term Is the Time to Plan New Hobbies

Some people are afraid of answering the telephone call. Here are some tips to help you when you are answering the call.

Listening to someone speaking in a second language over the telephone can be very

challenging because you cannot see the person you are trying to hear. You may not realize that your pronunciation isn't clear. So pay special attention to your pronunciation and speak as slowly as possible.

Don't pretend to understand everything you hear over the telephone. Don't be afraid to remind the person to slow down more than once.

Ask another student to practice talking on the phone with you. Try to talk for at least fifteen minutes.The most important thing about practicing telephone English is that you are not able to see others' mouths.

There are many ways to get free telephone English practice. After business hours, you can call and listen to recorded messages. Write down what you hear the first time, and then call back and check if your notes are right.

Many speakers make the mistake of being too direct on the telephone. Sometimes just one word such as could or may is necessary in order to sound polite.Take the time to learn how to answer the phone in a polite manner.

Nowadays, a new method(方法)is used to decide who are the top students in school. The best students are those who not only get high marks, but also follow the rules and the behavior standards for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards.

Tell the truth. Don't copy someone else's work in the exams. That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played online games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you were doing homework.

Learn to be loving and caring. Good students love animals and care for other people.

Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you quarrel with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. You shouldn't only think of yourself. You should also think of others.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you'll discover Earth Ⅱ someday. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. Some websites(网站) on the Internet aren't for kids, so make sure to visit the ones that are good for you. You can use the Websites for fun or homework. Can't you find any good websites for you?
