If Mr. Smith wants to visit Chelsea Library, he can bring a child _. A. under 7 years old B. over 16 years old C. between 5-7 years old D. between 8-12 years old B I LOVE FOOTBALL. I started playing when I was nine years old, and football got m e through. It helped make me who I am today. And even though I did not reach the Nat ional Football League, I sometimes think I got more from pursuing(追逐) that dream, and not realizing it. My romance with football started when my dad dragged me, kicking and screaming, to join a league. I had no desire to be there. I was naturally weak and the smallest kid by far. Fear turned to awe(敬畏) when I met my coach, Jim Graham, a huge, six-fo ot-four wall-of-a-guy. And he is really strict and old-school. Coach Graham used to ride me hard. I remember one practice in particular. “You re doing it all wrong, Pausch. Go back! Do it again!” I tried to do what he wante d. It wasnt enough. “You owe me, Pausch! Youre doing push-ups after practice.” When I was finally dismissed(解散), one of the assistant coaches came up to me. “Coach Graham rode you pretty hard, didnt he?” he said. “Yeah.” “Thats a good thing,” the assistant told me. “When youre doing bad and no body says anything to you anymore, that means theyve given up on you.” That conversation has stuck with me my whole life. When you see yourself doing s omething badly and nobodys willing to tell you anymore, thats a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but your critics(批评者) are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better. Theres a lot of talk these days about giving children self-esteem(自尊). Its not something you can give; its something they have to build. Coach Graham knew th ere was really only one way to teach kids how to develop it: You give them somethin g they cant do, they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep r epeating the process. When Coach Graham first got hold of me, I was this weak kid with no skills and n o physical strength. But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will b e things I can do tomorrow that I cant do today. Even now, having just turned fort y-seven, I can give you a three-point stance that any NFL lineman would be proud of. I really felt grateful to Coach Graham for what he had done to me, though it surely did feel good at that time to do so many push-ups after practice. 24. Which words can best describe Coach Graham? A. Strict and mean. B. Big and proud. C. Strict and wise. D. Caref ul and strong. 25. The author believes that those who criticize you actually _. A. make fun of you B. give you up C. think ill of you D. encourage yo u to do better 26. The author was grateful to Graham because the coach _. A. made him a member of NFL B. made him do lots of push-u ps C. taught him the value of hard work D. taught him the importance of playing football 27. What lesson can we learn from this passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Never offer to teac h fish to swim. C. Behind bad luck comes good luck. D. Where there is a will, the re is a way. C Thousands of primary schools in England are to be offered the chance to follow a n Asian style of teaching math. The government is providing 41million of funding to help interested schools to take this method, which is used in high performing places like Shanghai, Singapore a nd Hong Kong. The money will be given to more than 8,000 primary schools in England. This approach to math is already used in some schools, but the cash means it can be taken up more widely. The Department for Education says the mastery approach to math teaching, as is k nown, involves children being taught as a whole class and is supported by the use of high-quality textbooks. Pupils are encouraged to find physical symbols for mathemati cal concepts, so objects and pictures are used to describe and show abstract(抽象的) ideas. There is a focus on whole-class interactive(互动的) teaching at a quick pace, rather than teacher explanation followed by slower individual(个体的) group practice, and textbooks, rather than worksheets, are used. The mastery approach sees the whole class progressing together, with higher achievers being encouraged to deepen their u nderstanding, rather than going faster ahead of classmates. So far 140 teachers from primary schools in England have been trained by the Nat ional Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics to help schools take the approach. Schools Minister Nick Gibb said: We are seeing a new interest in math tea ching in this country, with good ideas from around the world helping to enliven our classrooms. I am confident that the steps we are taking now will ensure young people are properly prepared for further study and the 21st Century workplace and that the too often heard phrase cant do math belongs to the past. Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, s aid: Support for the more effective teaching of math is always welcome, especially when it is not forced on schools.” The success of such a programme will also depend on enough numbers of well trained and well devoted teachers to deliver it. The gover nment must put far more effort into recruiting(招聘) and keeping teachers. 28. What difference will 41million funding make to the primary schools in England? A. More than 8,000 schools will be built. B. Interested schools can have more money to enlarge themselves. C. More schools can benefit from the Asian style of teaching math. D. Some schools will visit China to learn methods of teaching there. 29. Whats the characteristic(特点) of “the mastery approach to math teaching”? A. That worksheets are widely used. B. That it values the progress of the whole class. C. That individual group practice makes up the entire class. D. That pupils are encouraged to interact among themselves. 30. What can we infer from Nick Gibbs words? A. English students do not like math at all. B. Math teaching in England is not taken seriously. C. Finding a job is extremely difficult for young people in England. D. The new approach will help improve the ability of students in England. 31. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. More English teachers are being trained abroad. B. An Asian math method is offered to schools in England. C. Many English students benefit from Chinese teaching style. D. The English government starts a reform in primary schools. D Maurice Mountain is a retired lawyer in Washington, D.C. He developed a device h e calls the Presto Emergency Boat Ladder. His invention is a small folding ladder in a boat to help people who fall into the water. Mr. Mountain plans to mass-produce hi s boat ladder. He created his invention at a workshop called TechShop. Members of Te chShop use high-tech equipment to develop and produce ideas they have for inventions. Mr. Mountain says TechShop permits people to turn their dreams into reality. I think it encourages innovation(创新). I think people who probably have had id eas rolling around in the back of their minds for years but have never had the oppor tunity to actually put them into production or even experiment with them would find this place wonderful. Isabella Musachio manages a TechShop in Arlington, Virginia. She says the shop h as many different kinds of equipment. TechShop is a do-it-yourself studio. So when you come in we have all these different areas of the shop, and we have a metal shop, wood shop, plastic slab(平板 ), lasers, 3D printers, electronics, textiles. I mean, w e have so many different areas and we have all this equipment that is provided to an ybody above the age of 12 and up. Membership costs for TechShop start at just over $100 per month. Members are abl e to use costly machines including 3D modeling tools and laser cutters. Isabella Mus achio says TechShop helps its members build their dreams. Our motto is build your dreams here because you can really come in with just an idea, and then with the hel p of TechShop make that leap from an idea to building your project or even your busi ness. U.S. President Barack Obama spoke at the TechShop workshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsy lvania in 2016. He said that innovation is the first step to the future. He added th at TechShop is giving people the tools they need to turn their ideas into reality. 32. What can we know about Maurice Mountain? A. He is a member of TechShop. B.
