I think its rather humorous that I know these, because studying the earth is not exactly something that would interest me. The only subjects I enjoyed in school were art and spelling. Every other subject I seemed to tune out. Anyway, the reason I learned the layer of the earth and actually enjoyed learning them was because my 6th grade teacher told us that she was going to make an ice-cream earth. For the entire week, I tried to imagine how in the world she was going to do this. She had us memorize the layers so that we would be able to tell her the names of them before we would get some ice-cream that Friday.Friday came and everyone was excited. I was even more excited that I could tell the teacher the names of each layer. She got a big bowl, lined it with a chocolate cracker crust, then three layers of different colored ice-cream. I thought it was so cool that the crust was the crust.This shows me that taking the time to teach creatively is worth it because unique activities are what students will learn, rather then simply reading everything from a text or listening to lecture done in black and white.56 According to the writer, how did his teacher teach creatively?A She was humorous and taught geography in art and spelling classes.B She asked her students to make the ice-cream earth with colored layersC She made the ice-cream earth and used it as a reward for good learners.D She taught the lesson on Friday so her students could review it at the weekend.57 The underlined words “tune out”(Paragraph 1) most probably means_.A failB ignoreC hateD forget58 What is the point the writer wished to express in the text?A Children learn better through interesting experiences.B Ice-cream with a chocolate crust is childrens favorite.C A woman teacher is better at organizing good classroom activities.D A knowledge of the earth is best learned through ice-cream making BAfter 21 years of marriage, I started to go out with another woman. It was really my wifes idea. “I know that you love her,” she said one day, taking me by surprise. “But I love YOU,” I protected. “I know, but you also love her.”The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “Whats wrong, are you well?” she asked.My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, then said, “I would like that very much.” That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on.She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,” she said, as she got into the car. “They cant wait to hear about our meeting.”We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and fortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print.“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said.“Then its time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversationnothing extraordinarybut catching up on recent events of each others life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “Ill go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.59 From the text, we can learn that the writer is_.A a regular moviegoerB a wealthy businessmanC a frequent visitor to his motherD a busy and middle-aged father of three60 Why was the mother surprised when getting invited?A She was already in bedB She rarely got invitedC She never expected such a callD She seldom watched late night movies61 Why did the writer feel nervous when he drove to meet his mother?A He was eager to find out how his mother liked the date.B He was excited to express his love for his mother.C He hadnt seen his mother after he was married.D He didnt tell his wife that he was to visit his mother.62 How would the man feel after the dinner?A He should take his mother to a movie some other time.B He should meet his mothers friends.C His mother wants more invitations.D His mother enjoys spending time with him. CIn the African country of Tanzania, a pany from Belgium called APOPO trains African giant pouched rats(非洲巨袋鼠) to find dangerous land mines(地雷)left over from wars. The rats are trained to smell out some of the chemicals in the mines. After 8-12 months of training, the rat can find mines so they can be safely destroyed.Trained dogs often perform this important work, but APOPO director Bart Weetjens recently discovered that the African giant pouched rat costs far less money to train and care for. These rats may seem huge. Their bodies are 12 to16 inches long, not including their tails. But their size suits the job: At one and a half to 3 pounds, they are too light to set off the land mines.Rats and trainers search one small area at a time. When a rat smells mines, it lets the trainers know by pawing(用爪子抓)at the dirt in that spot. The trainers mark each spot on a map. Later, technicians explode the mines safely. In the African country of Mozambique, nearly half the population is younger than 15 years old. A lot of kids are in danger as they play or work.“In the town of Vilanculos, children had been playing on the football field, until there was an accident,” Bart Weetjens said. APOPO rats and trainers helped other organizations make the area safe. “The football field has been opened again, and there is no danger any more,” Weetjens said. About 80 million land mines are buried out of sight in more than 60 countries around the world. As APOPOs program grows, the rat heroes might travel the globe! 63 The underlined word “they” (Para. 1) refers to_.A the trainersB the minesC the warsD the rats64 Why are rats chosen to be trained to find the land mines?A They are native to AfricaB They are smarter than dogsC They are cheap to keep and trainD They are quick to escape from danger65 What is the task of the rats in the job?A To mark a mapB To find the minesC To set off the minesD To paw at the ground66 What happened on the football field in Vilanculos?A A land mine explodedB A player was injured during the trainingC The children were attracted by the ratsD The villagers tried to get the field back DSinging, even speaking in a sing-song voice to children is natural for most parents. Something deep inside us tells us that music provides joy and happiness, and even calms our little ones. Charlotte Diamond, former teacher and now an award-winning childrens performer talks on how easy it is to bring music into childrens lives. “Young children love music. Parents can rock(动摇) their children and sing to them each night before bed. Its not necessary to have a great voice, because children are simply happy to hear their parents voice and how they express themselves.”Whether or not youve studied music formally has nothing to do with sharing music with your child. “I dont think a parent should ever worry about their own weakness musically”, says Diamond. “Hearing someone sing with their own voice is great; its part of who they are and part of their personality(个性).As for what you should sing to your child, the answer can be found in the songs of our own childhood. Its not so much how perfectly sung they are, explains Diamond. “Whats being municated is your love for your child, that youre taking care of them and that they are secure(无忧无虑).”Diamond feels that the more young children are exposed to music, the more likely they will be to develop their musical abilities. “Music is everywhere. If parents have music playing in the home, on tapes in the car, and have fun singing with them, then music is just a part of everyday life and children will grow to be musical.”So rather than reserving music for your childs formal lessons, bring music into their lives on a regular basis. Sing songs at bedtime or find a favorite tape or CD to play in the car or at home. Diamond says parents should “make a point of listening to music together and sharing feelings with them about music. If you love something and tell them, then they might be encouraged to feel the same way.”67 If parents want to bring music into childrens lives, they should_.A be able to sing in a great voiceB have a good knowledge of musicC send their children to Diamonds music lessonsD share songs of their childhood with their children regularly68 According to Diamond, listening to their parents singing songs, children will _.A feel happy and free from worryB get a good understanding of music C admire their parents for their musical abilitiesD bee a good learner when they go to school69 What does the underlined word “reserve” (paragraph 5) means?A To keep back for future useB To encourage children to learn musicC To explain something difficult to childrenD To provide children with a music teacher70 What does the text mainly deal with?A Diamond, an award-winning childrens performerB Early development of childrens musical abilitiesC Roles of parents in childrens growthD Songs and music for childrenEYou have often heard it said, “Dont sweat the small stuff.” When it es to unnecessary worry, everything is small stuff, however, when it es to paying attention to details in your business or personal life, there are no small things.One of my favorite titles for a book is “Elephants Dont Bite,” which describes how big things are rarely what you have to worry about. Its the small details that trick us into making a mistake. Elephants dont bite, but mosquitoes(蚊子) always do. Think of your last good experience in a restaurant or on a flight. If you really examine what made this a good experience, you will discover that it was, quite likely, a series of small things or even one small extra detail. The unexpected kind greeting or warm “thank you” makes all the difference in the world.When I look at the list of my favorite restaurants, one of the details that will get an establishment on the list is to know and remember my name. The waiter or host may have simply checked the note book before greeting me by name. However, it really doesnt matter as much that they know my name as it matters that they go to the extra effort to discover my name and greet me like a valued customer or friend. When its all said and done, we are each in the people business.We live in a consumer society, but what people value more highly than the goods and services they purchase are those that cannot be touched or felt, small things that add up to a great experience.To succeed personally or professionally, treat others as you would like to be treated.71 The saying “Dont sweat the small stuff.”(Paragraph 1 )most probably means_.A Get rid of small goodsB Work hard on the detailsC Dont forget to do small thingsD Dont worry about unimportant things
