6、 Recent studies have shown that challenging your brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain to create new patterns, is very important to keep your brain active and healthy as you age. Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.
1.Ask questions.
When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.〞 This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when one is “done with school〞— it's actually a lifelong process!
2. Let them fail.
Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via The Magic School Bus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.〞 I always quote (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If we don't allow our
kids to fail, they won't be able to learn to “use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,〞 as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.
3. Learn through experience.
This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning through experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.〞Of course, we should also set an example for our children —by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.
1.What does the underlined word “pique〞 in the text probably mean?
A.Change.
B.Awaken.
C.Balance.
D.Prevent.
2.What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?
A.Worried.
B.Doubtful.
C.Uncaring.
D.Supportive.
3.Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?
A.Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.
B.It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.
C.If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.
D.Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.
4.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?
A.Health.
B.Culture.
cation.
D.Popular science.
7、 The history of vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) in the U. K. dates back to the early 1900s. Hubert Cecil Booth started the first vacuum cleaner company in the U. K. , known as the British Vacuum Cleaner Company. It wasn’t long, however, before William Henry Hoover, who had already experienced success with his vacuum cleaners in America, made headway in the vacuum cleaner market in the U. K. and became more successful than Booth.
Hoover’s vacuum cleaners in the U. K. became such a success that “to hoover〞 quickly became equal to vacuuming. Some of the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. used simple reusable cloth bag designs whereby the vacuum cleaner simply collected dust in the bag. Once the bag was full, you could empty and re-attach it to the vacuum cleaner.
For decades after their introduction, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. were a luxury item that only the upper class could afford. After World War Ⅱ, however, they became common among the middle class. This was especially true for vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , because the popularity of carpets means sweeping is not an easy or effective means of carpet cleaning.
In 1952, Hoover made the Constellation available to the public for the first time. Hoover designed it so that people could place the vacuum cleaner in the center of the room and then work around it. After about 20 years of selling these vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , Hoover stopped the Constellation in 1975.
Advances to upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners in the U. K. continued, enabling vacuum cleaners to become more efficient and effective. The 1990s saw the introduction of the first bagless domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. Despite the fears that consumers would not be prepared to accept the high price, bagless vacuum cleaners became a big success in the U. K.
As for the future, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. are expected to become even more energy-efficient.
1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A.Hoover entered the U. K. vacuum cleaner market before the 1900s.
B.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were more advanced than Booth's.
C.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were very popular in the U. K. market.
D.Vacuum cleaners were invented later in the U. K. than in America.
2.What was the cloth bag on the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners used for?
A.Decorating the vacuum cleaners.
B.Making the vacuum cleaners moreefficient.
C.Lightening the vacuum cleaners.
D.Collecting dust.
3.What was the most remarkable characteristic of the Constellation?
A.It was only used by the upper class.
B.Its design allowed the user to work around it.
C.It was upright and it had a cylinder added to it.
D.Its price was extremely high at the time.
4.We can learn from the passage that bagless vacuum cleaners _____.
A.were so popular that they could fulfill all U. K. customers' demands
B.were the most energy-efficient vacuum cleaners
C.were not accepted by U. K. customers
D.were expensive when they made their first public appearance in the U. K.

“ What’s wrong?〞a voice was heard. Susan looked up, and saw a young man with a 10 at his side.

答案：
Dear Peter,
I’m Li Hua. Thanks a lot for your invitation to your cultural exchange program. I really want to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce the traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t. the reason is that I am occupied preparing performance for the coming National Day.
I strongly recommended my friend Li Ming, who is the most suitable person to take my place next week. He began to learn paining at an early age and has a good knowledge of the traditional Chinese painting, which, along with his active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success.
Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua。
