minded as the years go by．At eighty I have already noticed s ome 52 symptoms．My doctor says the forgetfulness is onl y 53 and that it comes with age．Still the 54 of Alzheimer is haunting（萦

Franz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax （斧
子） for the frozen sea inside us．” I once shared this senten ce with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to requir e any explanation．
We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men．When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I．“Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look．“I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is that I’ve read it many times．”
But they understood．When George shoots Lennie, the trage
dy is that we realize it is always going to happen．In my 14 y ears of teaching in a New York city public middle school, I’ve t aught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irrespon sible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods．They understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic— t he giving way of dreams to fate ．
For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichm ent teacher, reading classic works of literature with small grou ps of students from grades six to eight．I originally proposed t his idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excelle nt student of mine had transferred out of a selective high scho ol— one that often attracts the literary-
minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes— into a less co mpetitive setting．The daughter of immigrants, with a father i n prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classm ates．I thought additional “cultural capital” could help student s like her develop better in high school, where they would una voidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came f rom homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earne d Ph．D．’s．
Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth
．The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view．About The Red Pony, one student said, “It’s about bein g a man; it’s about manliness．” I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lad y Macbeth’s soliloquies （独白） read as raps （说
唱）, but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, b ut serious．Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy w ent on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly h ow amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and they’re all white．” His historical view was broadening, his se nse of his own country deepening．Year after year, former st udents visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes．
Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of pr actice tests．We are trying to teach students to read increasi ngly complex texts, not for emotional punch （碰
撞） but for text complexity．Yet, we cannot enrich （充
实） the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ig nore their hearts．We are teaching them that words do not a maze but confuse．We may succeed in raising test scores, b ut we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them．
68．The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that
a book helps to _____．
A．realize our dreams B．give support to our life C．awake our emotions D．smooth away difficulties
69．Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?
A．Because they had similar life experiences．
B．Because they had read the novel before．
C．Because they came from a public school．
D．Because they spent much time reading it．
70．To the author’s surprise, the students read the novels___ __．
A．creatively B．passively C．repeatedly D．carelessly
71． The author writes the passage mainly to________．A． introduce classic works of literature
B． advocate teaching literature to touch the heart
C． argue for equality among high school students
D． defend the current testing system

Habits are a funny thing．We reach for them mindlessly, setti ng our brains on
Habits are a funny thing．We reach for them mindlessly，setting our brains on auto-
pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routi ne．“Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures，”William Wordsworth said in the 19th century．In the ever-changing 21st century，
even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning．
So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same con text as innovation（创
新）．But brain researchers have discovered that when we c onsciously develop new habits ，
we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, th at can jump our trains of thought onto new，
innovative tracks．
Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits．In fact，
the more new things we try, the more creative we become．
But don't bother trying to kill off old habits；
once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain，
they're there to stay．Instead，
the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create par allel pathways that can bypass those old roads．
“The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder，” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind．“But we ar e taught instead to …decide‟，
just as our president calls himself …the Decider‟．”Sh e adds, h owever，
that“ to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one．A good inn ovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibiliti es．”
“All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaw are，” she says． Researchers in the late 1960s discovered t hat humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively （合作地） and innovatively．At the end of adolescence，however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving o nly those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable du ring the first decade or so of life．
The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analy sis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative
and collaborative ways of thought．“This breaks the major rul e in the American belief system—
that anyone can do anything, ” explains M．J．Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will．．．and Ms．Markova's b usiness partner．“That's a lie that we have preserved，
and it fosters commonness．Knowing what you're good at an d doing even more of it creates excellence．”This is where de veloping new habits comes in．
72．The purpose of the author writing this article is to persua de us ________．
A．to give up our traditional habits deliberately
B．to resist the application of standardized testing
C．to create and develop new habits consciously
D．to believe that old habits conflict with new habits 73．Brain researchers have discovered that ________．A．the development of habits can be predicted
B．the forming of new habits can be guided
C．the regulation of old habits can be transformed
D．the track of new habits can be created unconsciously 74．The underlined word “ruts” in Paragraph 4 is closest in m eaning in ________．
A．tracks B．connections C．situations D．zones
75．Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova's view?
A．Decision makes no sense in choices．
B．Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas．C．Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind．
D．Curiosity makes creative minds active．
