    I first went to school at five. None of my teachers or classmates liked me, because I always gave them a lot of   22 . I once put a worm in a girl's pocket. When I was seven, I was asked to      23   the school. Then I was sent off to a boarding school. I missed my   24  very much at first; I didn't want to leave once I returned home. Later I met a very   25  teacher, who cared for me and helped me with study. He was also the   26  person to encourage me to act and write. At 13, I moved to Malvern College, but I was kicked out at 15 for   27  school rules. Then I went to another school where I failed my English A level. In fact, I didn't like studying.
    I finally   28  that life shouldn't be like this. So I retook the  29  and got an A grade. And more   30 , I made a decision: to go to college, so I began to   31  for the entrance exam.

    Shaping a child is like shaping clay（粘土）— you have to start from the beginning and work your way to the end with extreme caution but with gentle and loving   16 .

    Building a child’s esteem is no small play; it makes your black hair   19 , steals away years of your life and still will not look done. Therefore you have to learn how to build self-esteem and   20  your child from the beginning. After all, parenting begins from babyhood.

Don’t let your child fall down inside. Tell him to ask the child why he is hitting him or   25  to the nearest adult he can reach.

    Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.
    We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'.”
    Mister Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”
    Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.
    Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.
    小题1:In Paragraph 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _____________.
    A．build up his own reputation
    B．laugh at his stupid friend
    C．prove the GPS system is only garbage
    D．describe an example of human error
    小题2:With which of the following statement would Barry Brown most likely agree?
    A．GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failures.
    B．We should introduce higher standard for the driving license.
    C．Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.
    D．Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.
    小题3:What is Mr. Brown’s attitude towards GPS?
    A．UnconcernedB．PrejudicedC．ObjectiveD．Critical
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．driving with GPS can be difficult
    B．driving confusions can be caused by small screen
    C．driving without GPS should be much more convenient
    D．GPS equipment in driving: to be deserted or improved?

    Mars Was Not Always Bitterly Cold
    Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have reported evidence that Mars was warmer and wetter long ago than it is today.  The Caltech scientists say they have directly established the temperature of Mars four billion years ago. At least, they established the surface temperature on part of the planet at that time. The researchers say it is the first such evidence to be discovered and presented.
    The Caltech scientists say carbonate（碳酸盐） minerals formed on Mars at about eighteen degrees Celsius. They reached the finding after studying a meteorite（陨石） that had its beginnings near the Martian surface.
    Today, the average temperature on Mars is sixty-three degrees below zero Celsius.
    The finding was reported on the website of the National Academy of Sciences. Caltech Assistant Professor Woody Fischer helped to prepare the report. He says eighteen degrees Celsius is not especially cold or hot. He says this makes the finding extremely interesting. Knowing the temperature can give scientists an idea of the climate on Mars long ago. It can also help them decide whether the planet had liquid water. Spacecraft orbiting Mars have shown what appear to be rivers, lakebeds and mineral deposits. These pictures suggest that, at one time, water did flow there. Mars Rover vehicles and other spacecraft have confirmed the information.
    Caltech Geology Professor John Eiler was another writer of the report. He says knowing the temperature of Mars from long ago provides valuable information. It shows that early in the planet's history, at least part of Mars could support a climate like that of Earth.
    The meteorite the scientists examined is one of the oldest known rocks in the world. It is called the Allan Hills meteorite. Its name came from the place in Antarctica where it was found in 1984. The meteorite is believed to have blown loose from the Mars' surface when another space rock struck its "home."
    小题1: The underlined word “establish” in Paragraph 1 probably means “___________”.
    A．to set up
    B．to make people accept a belief
    C．to discover or prove
    D．to start having a relationship with others
    小题2:How did the scientists reach the finding?
    A．By studying Allan Hills meteorite.
    B．By using spacecraft orbiting Mars.
    C．By studying minerals gathered on Mars
    D．By studying a meteorite on the Martian surface.
    小题3:According to the fourth paragraph, what have spacecraft orbiting Mars done?
    A．Measuring the temperature of Mars.
    B．Taking photos of the surface of Mars.
    C．Confirming that there is water flowing on Mars.
    D．Finding where human beings will probably land on Mars.
    小题4:How did Allan Hills meteorite get its name?
    A．From its original place on Mars.
    B．From where it was found on the earth.
    C．From the name of the scientist who found it.
    D．From the name of the aircraft that discovered it
    小题5: Where can we most probably read this passage?
    A．In a biography of scientists.
    B．In a geography magazine.
    C．In an environment report.
    D．In a science report.

    The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
    Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
    Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
    Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
    小题1:          Generally speaking, children’s skills __________.
    A．come from their parents
    B．have nothing to do with their education
    C．may be different from child to child
    D．have something to do with their marks in the exams
    小题2:          The writer of this passage does not seem to be satisfied with_______.
    A．the parents’ ideas of educating their children
    B．the education system
    C．children’s skills
    D．children’s hobbies
    小题3:          Doing some cooking at home helps children_________.
    A．learn how to serve their parents
    B．learn how to become strong and fat
    C．benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
    D．make their parents believe that they are clever
    小题4:          According to the passage, which of the following is True?
    A．Chinese are not very generous on educating their children.
    B．All Parents know how to teach their children well.
    C．Teaching a child to cook can improve the skills that he will need in the future.
    D．Poor parents cannot buy a computer for their children.

    Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs , teachers find students’ posture(姿势) and attention improve.
    Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey(调查) of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
    The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan,” says Witt, “ Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter（直的）. You can slouch(低头垂肩地坐)on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels bad.” Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen( 氧气) to the brain , so the kids have more energy and can pay attention longer.
    “Besides, they’re fun.” says Pownall.
    小题1:What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will_________.
    A．pay more attention to his lessonsB．be fun
    C．like to move aroundD．sit up straighter
    小题2:How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?
    A．About four years.B．Only one year.
    C．In 2008.D．Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.
    小题3:In how many countries are the balls used as the students’ chairs?
    A．Four.B．Three.C．Two.D．One.
    小题4:Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _________.
    A．improve the students’ posture and attention
    B．slouch on the chairs
    C．have fun
    D．Both A and C are correct answers
    小题5:Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?
    A．Sitting on a chair.B．Sitting on a ball.
    C．They are the same.D．We don’t know.
