Andrew Engel was puzzled. He was sitting in class, but had no idea what the other students were
talking about. He had done his homework, paid attention to lectures, and taken notes, but nothing
was familiar. “Everyone is so much cleverer than I am,” he thought. It was a strange feeling, as he
was always a good student in high school.
He felt even more puzzled a few days later. He got lost on his way to his favorite cinema. What’s
worse, he began havi ng trouble finding the right words when speaking. He asked, “What’s for
dinner, Mom?” after he had just eaten. Poor Andrew, he was only 15!
His parents were worried and took Andrew to see a doctor. A brain scan（扫描）made it clear:
Andrew had a malignant brain tumor(恶性脑肿瘤) . It was pressing on the part of the brain that

makes new memory. He should be operated on as soon as possible. Andrew was scared!
Doctors removed the tumor, but Andrew’s memory was still poor. He was told he would probably
never go back to school. Andrew was eager to enter a university, but it seemed that his dream
wouldn’t come true.
“Even though they told me this, I knew I wanted to go back to school,” Andrew said. “I wanted to
get my memory back.”
Andrew began by auditing(旁听) an English class at a nearby school. In class, he took notes
carefully and read his notes several times a day, then typed them again and again. He studied
twelve hours a day, seven days a week. He worked ten times harder than other students. In 2007,
at age 29, he graduated from a local university. Six months later, Andrew found a job.

In a school some trouble was caused by the students. They are very naughty and didn't obey
the school rules.They often fought with each other and they didn't forgive each other. One day a
new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up with a good idea.
He told each of his students to bring a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For
every person they didn't want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person's name
on it, and put it in the plastic bag.
Some of their bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them
everywhere for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a
car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. * And they had to pay 3
attention to it all the time so they didn't forget it or leave it in embarrassing (令人难堪的) places.
As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty.
Too often we think of tolerance as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! * If we
choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all
our lives. After that, the students got on well with each other and didn't fight anymore. Learn to
forgive (原谅), and you will be happier at the same time.

Children are natural scientists. They are interested in looking into the world around them. Helping
them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of expensive lab tools. You only have to
share your children’s curiosity(好奇).
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old students to talk about
working as a scientist. The children asked me questions about schooling and whether I liked my
job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another quietly. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve
finished, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy put up his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚂蚱) eat? When I
try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted
nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults usually
wait only one second or less for an answer, do not leave time for children to think. When adults
increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children can give more logical(合逻辑的),
complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child telling his idea in a science discussion, don’t
jump in with “That’s right. ” or “Very good. ”. These words work well when it comes to
encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can mean that discussion is
over. Instead, you can say “That’s interesting. ” or “I’d never thought of it that way before. ” or
come up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to “Think”. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s
more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you
want in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目标)for your disagreement.

Last ly, show; don’t tell. Real-life feeling of nature is far more exciting than any lesson children learn from a book. Let children look at their fingertips(指尖) through a magnifying lens(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.
( )20. When children are in a science discussion, adults should ________.
A. speak highly of the children.
B. praise the children immediately
C. end up their discussion with “That’s interesting”
D. leave time for them to come up with better ideas
( )21. What does “this” refer to in the 6th paragraph?
A. Pushing children to think.
B. Finding the answer you want.
C. Talking about science.
D. Telling children to discuss.
( )22. These are the ways for adults to share children’s curiosity EXCEPT ________.
A. telling them encouraging stories instead of boring facts
B. offering them chances to see things by themselves
C. being patient when the children answer questions
D. persuading them to ask the questions of their own

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know
the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you
have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so
loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you
play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just
hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears.
So even if you are a lone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn’t turn it up too high.
Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and
schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rule s, but
it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to listen on your
MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You
would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out!Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you
are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out
one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do
this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not
for you.
It’s Your Choice!There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some
people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is
disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
28. The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means “_______”
A. the type of music
B. the amount of a sound
C. the length of a song
D. the colour of an MP3 player

29. We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music ________.

A. the theatre won’t allow it

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping，writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms. Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some of them are.
BTW （by the way）BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations (缩写), They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
Info (information) purer (computer)
Pie (picture) sec (second)
We usually do n’t see people when we communicate (交流) on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”. such as:
:-)( happy) :-p(joking) :-( (sad) :-0(surprised)
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example，
There are even whole new words, like” newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). It takes time for people to get used to (适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internets grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
33．What does the underline “acronyms” mean?
A.网友
B.聊天室
C.首字母缩写词
34．Why do people type acronyms?
A. to show their feelings.
B. Because people can type them quickly.

35．What doe s” BTW, my purer is not working well.:-(“mean?
A. The person is angry at somebody.
B. The person is happy about getting a new computer.
C. The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
7 36．E-talk wills probably .

I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some
rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we
learnt that he was going to a kindergarten (幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting
together interesting costumes.
I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change (零钱). It seemed that he had robbed
his pig bank (猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after
counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “P lease keep the shirt and I will
come back with more money.”
It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. The lady in
front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We
dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币) and we needed the
cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some
change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react (反应) with the same
mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The
cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to
offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”
I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this.
“ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good
feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me
smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes!”
