    For many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.
    The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.
    Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.
    "I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.
    During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.
    "I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained.
    Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.
    The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks.
    Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends.
    "I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said.
    Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.
    "I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.
    Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel . It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.

    Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are over concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
    It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. Adperson’s self concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people ,have low self-esteem(自尊), are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance（再保证，放心） that they are doing “the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise . A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one:” You’re just saying that to make me feel good .I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely got rid of ,or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths, for example, not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to absence of inferiority. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves. the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

    To learn an instrument(乐器) such as the violin or accordion（手风琴）takes years. The job opportunities for musicians are scarce and competition is fierce. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching they can afford?
    The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person’s IQ over time. Different instruments and different trypes of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string（弦乐） family coming out on top, potentially increasing you IQ by up to 12 points!

From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional（成比例的）to the amount of practicing.
    Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shinichi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”. Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners.

Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get-togethers) or arrange house concerts. It has been established that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced and more patient with themselves, others and life in general.
    So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra, dust off your old trombone（长号）or take your first real six-string down from the attic（阁楼）; get out there and play!

    Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
    Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats, a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, milking is complete. The gate is opened, the cow is released and the next cow enters.
    The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.
    The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
    The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
    Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
    Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost 175 000 dollars. The second cost 150 000.
    Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.
    小题1:From the first paragraph, we can infer________.
    A．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
    B．cows can be raised by robots in the future
    C．robots direct cows into milking stations
    D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farms
    小题2:Besides milking cows, the robotic system also can ________.
    A．adjust the temperature of milking stations
    B．judge the quality of fresh milk
    C．improve the appetite of cows
    D．keep fresh milk for two weeks
    小题3:Why is the robotic system not popular now?
    A．Because young people have no interest in it.
    B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.
    C．Because people can’t afford to buy it.
    D．Because it usually causes the waste of milk.
    小题4:According to Doug, what is the wage of an employee?
    A．150, 000-170, 000.B．750, 000.C．150, 000 -30, 000.D．30, 000- 32, 000
    小题5:The best title for the passage may be_______.
    A．Letting robot milk your cowB．Milking cows by hand
    C．Improving the quality of milkD．Drinking fresh milk every day

    Here in Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, laws were passed to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
    A wolf naturally lives on animals in the deer family. People there also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the plant life there. When the deer can’t find enough food, they die.
    If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, the deer will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the life cycles there. If we killed more wolves, we would save them from starving. We also save deer and some farm animals.
    In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the United States government to send a team of scientists to study the problem. They believe it is necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small population.
    小题1:In Alaska, laws have been passed to ____.
    A．protect people from wolves and deer
    B．protect wolves from becoming dangerous
    C．protect wolves from dying out

    小题2:Why is it that if wolves go on killing a good many deer the wolves will die out?
    A．Because wolves will have no deer to kill.
    B．Because people will kill them for punishment.
    C．Because killing deer is dangerous.
    D．Because wolves mainly live on deer.
    小题3:In order to protect more deer from being killed, one way is to ____.
    A．pass a lawB．keep deer away from wolves

    What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?
    We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop.  The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. 
    What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
    He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱).
    He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.
    Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
    Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.
    These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts. 
    小题1:Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_________
    A．knowledge only.B．more than one aspect.
    C．technology only.D．the use of machines.
    小题2:Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?
    A．He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.
    B．He is interested in problems that are explained.
    C．He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.
    D．He looks for new ways of acting.
    小题3:According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_______________.
    A．easily believe in unchecked statements.
    B．easily criticize others' research work.
    C．always use his imagination in work.
    D．always use evidence from observation.
    小题4:Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?
    A．completeB．objectiveC．complicatedD．accurate

    For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
    Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict．In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it．From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness．And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely．Both feel trapped．
    In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap．The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things．Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends．Second, blaming．The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong．Third, needing to be right．It doesn’t matter what the topic is．The laws of physics or the proper way to break an egg —the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect．Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress．
    小题1:Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
    A．Both can continue for generations．
    B．Neither can be put to an end．
    C．Neither has any clear winner．
    D．Both are about where to draw the line．
    小题2:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
    A．The teens cause their parents to mislead them．
    B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict
    C．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict．
    D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents
    小题3:Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________．
    A．give orders to the otherB．gain respect from the other
    C．know more than the otherD．get the other to behave properly
    小题4:What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

    B．Examples of the parent –teen war．

    My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork．
    My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president．”I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done．
    Once in graduate school，I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard．His answer to me was． “That’s irrelevant（无关的）．What’s important is the quality of your work． ” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge（诀窍），and I have come to some conclusions—all relevant to the problem of how much time we have．
    If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the prob1em：There is, of course，the matter of “time”, which we call think of as fixed． Then there is the problem of “work” during that time． But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important．
    That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work．That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone s office: “Don't work harder． Work smarter．” There is a lot of sense in that idea．
    If you can’t get more time，and few of US can，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work．That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get．That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits．Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits’ should be read as “study habits”．
    Then, as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing． If you learn to read better and write better，there are big advantages that pay off in all your studies．
    小题1:From the passage，we know that the author is probably      ．
    A．a poetB．an educatorC．a novelistD．an engineer
    小题2:We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still      ．
    A．have enough timeB．can meet the president
    C．get everything done wellD．should accept the explanation
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework．
    B．The author tried to tell the professor that he／she（the author） had done a good job．
    C．You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time．
    D．You’11 try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student．
    小题4:What’s the passage mainly about?
    A．Students don’t have enough time．B．Don’t work harder; work smarter．
    C．No one can get more time．D．Read better and write better．
