Dear editor,

    Under China’s current educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.

    But I feel that there is another type of student who, perhaps not as diligent (勤奋的) as the first type, uses his time more efficiently and achieves a lot academically.

    Last year, a classmate of mine was accepted by a top university. It surprised all of us. It was because, unlike most of us, he didn’t spend too much of his time studying.

    When I asked him the secret of his success, he said that the key was properly and scientifically arranging his time.

    “ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”

The moral of the story is: it isn’t necessary to sit at your desk all day long to get high academic (学术) grades.

Yours,

Zhang Zishu

When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in the modern times, two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist.

According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post, the tragedy (悲剧) occurred on the afternoon of December 14, 2002 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water.

More than 20 university students who happened to be near the place where it happened immediately went to the rescue of the children.

Two children were quickly rescued, but the third died. The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and tiredness.

The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.

A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into the icy water.

Do you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your pre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.

The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read. As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.

There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed. A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listen and respond. Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversation happens.

Have you watched you pre-school child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over? These experiences tell children that reading is fun. And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.

When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children’s reach.

The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines(日常生活)of everyday life.

1.The third paragraph tells us that parents can talk with their children__________.

   A. during daily routines          B. only in quiet places

   C. in their spare time            D. when they are eager to walk

2.During the process of learning to read, children may _________.

   A. copy the action of the adults.

   B. prefer to talk with those of their own age.

   C. show no interest in reading at all.

   D. waste a lot of paper and other materials.

3.When do children want to learn to write?

   A. When their parents ask them to do so.

   B. When they believe they can write well.

   C. When they know what they want to know

   D. When they can connect letters with familiar words.

4.The passage is written to _____________.

A. talk about parents’ influence on their children’s behavior

B. encourage parents to set a good example to their children

C. advise parents to make reading a part of their children’s daily life

D. make parents believe in the importance of early reading

Think about what you had for lunch: Was it a hamburger? A chicken sandwich? Barbecue? What about vegetables? Would it surprise you to learn that what you eat can affect the whole planet?

It can—in a big way. New studies show how food and its production affect the globe and its warming climate. You’ve probably heard of global warming : The temperature is on the rise because humankind has been releasing (排放) amounts of gases into the atmosphere. One of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide(二氧化碳).

What does this have to do with food ? A big part of the carbon dioxide that we put in the atmosphere every year comes from the process of making and eating food. The production of meat contributes a lot of that carbon diode. And much of meat’s contribution comes from beef , which is responsible for releasing even more warming gases into the atmosphere.

The process of making a hamburger ,for example, requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland, and cow waste is a major source of methane (沼气) — an especially powerful greenhouse gas. The cow has to be killed. The meat has to be processed (加工) and shipped to a shop, which takes fuel . Most of the cow won’t even be used for meat that people eat. By the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate, it has made a heavy effect on the environment.

We can reduce the production of global-warming gases by eating less beef .Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environment—at least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released. 

All kinds of meat are harder on the planet than vegetables. To grow and eat a pound of potatoes, for example, sends less than one-quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the air. So changing our diet to less meat and more vegetables, as it turns out, may do the world some good.

1.The questions asked in the first paragraph are used to _____.

A.show the author’s concern about food safety

B.express the author’s puzzlement at what to eat

C.remind readers of something delicious to eat

D.introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage

2.What is the bad news for meat-eaters?

A.Meat producing can cause global warming

B.Most cows are raised not for people to eat

C.There is a lot of carbon dioxide in meat

D.Animals begin to die off because of global warming

3.Which is the most environment-friendly food according to the passage?

A.Beef

B.Carrot

C.Pork

D.Chicken

4.The author wrote the passage in order to _____.

A.explain the importance of eating meat

B.advise people to keep a balanced diet

C.encourage people to choose a greener diet

D.introduce some healthy foods to people
