She was such a sweet kid; a third-grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldnt imagine why she had made her parents so angry. It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sit-down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed. So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation. So the next day, I asked Katie to go to my office. Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch? I asked. I lose it, she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, I dont believe you, Katie. She didnt care. Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie? I took a new track. No. I just lose it, she said. Well, there was nothing else I could do. The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said Katie. Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldnt go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child. Katie didnt care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her. But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared. Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.25. What did the author think of Katie?A. She performed well at school.B. She was a girl filled with love.C.

She had her homemade lunch stolen.C. She didnt like the taste of her homemade lunch. D. She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy.27. What was Katies parents reaction to the truth about the lunch? A. They were very angry.B. They were proud of Katie. C. They were disappointed.D. They were rather upset.28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret. B. Katie told the author the truth of her lunch during their first talk. C. Katies secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident. D. Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered.CIn America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they cant. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults.As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn form natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. Whats more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.As a rule, Chinese parents dont educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.29. From the passage, we know American parents pay much more attention to _.A. the social skills than Chinese parentsB. their childrens studying hard and wellC. what their children want but they cantD. extra activities than schoolwork30. According to the passage, Chinese parents _.A. know more than American parents to educate their childrenB. owning ambition and confidence is necessary and importantC. pay much more attention to their childrens fine futureD. dont encourage their children to participate in extra activities31. From the passage, we can infer _.A. American children are brave and adventurousB. American children are more active in their studiesC. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectivelyD. Something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China32. Whats the writers attitude towards Chinese education reform?A. Neutral. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Negative.DAbout 97% of the worlds water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we cant drink seawater, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by tiny animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!33. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea _.A. wouldnt harm the fish in the seaB. would change the balance of the food chainC. would be broken down in the seaD. wouldnt do much harm to the sea34. From the passage, we learn that _.A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seasB. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chainC. over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stockD. it wont be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved35. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?A. The use of international agreements.B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.C. The use of new techniques.D. Raising peoples awareness of the need to protect oceans.36. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The Importance of Seawater.B. Life in the Oceans.C. How to Protect Food Chains.D. How to Deal with Seawater Pollution.
