题目内容

For some people, it’s easy to get dressed for work. Pilots and police officers, for example, don’t have to make decisions about their work clothes. They wear uniforms to work every day.
For many office workers, however, it is more difficult to choose clothes for work. They do not wear uniforms to the office. Also, many organizations are changing their dress codes. They are allowing their employees to wear casual(随意的) clothes to work.
The change to casual work clothes began in the 1990s. At first, many companies in the United States allowed employees to wear casual clothes on one day of the week—Friday. Friday became “Casual Friday” or “Dress-down Friday”. Today, however, many companies are allowing their employees to wear casual clothes every day of the week.
Some studies show that people are producing and achieving more when they are wearing comfortable clothes. Some companies also like the casual dress code because they don’t need to buy special clothes for work. They can save money this way.
Unfortunately, a casual dress code can also cause problems. Sometimes employees think they can wear anything. Many companies have rules about casual clothes. They list the kinds of clothes that are not “business-casual” clothes. Blue jeans, sandals, and sportswear are examples of clothes that are usually too casual for the office.

Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable (适合) for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
小题1:“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading            .
A．helps school develop faster
B．is a key to a successful school
C．helps students go to a key school
D．can improve students’ learning results
小题2:Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they            .
A．know how to read the words
B．do not have to think while reading
C．read by themselves without any help
D．pay attention to the meaning of the text
小题3:Rossman tells that any child who             will possibly be an automatic reader.
A．turns off TV one night 4 weeks
B．reads books by the word quickly
C．spends an hour reading every day
D．gets the same grades as others in exams
小题4:The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “          ” in Chinese.
A．结结巴巴地读B．全神贯注地读
C．心不在焉地读D．声情并茂地读
小题5:The best title for the passage is “          ”.
A．IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B．TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C．Automaticity Depends on Practice
D．Automatic Reads Will Be Successful
Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(标准). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them.
小题1:How do most parents prevent their children from failure?
A．They give them some presents.
B．They don’t tell them that they have failed.
C．They don’t blame others.
D．They help them to come out of failure.
小题2:Which of the following can a person learn when he fails?
A．It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it.
B．He is the worst of all.
C．It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time.
D．His teammates are not good enough.
小题3:The writer of this article thinks that if a child fails, parents should __________________.
A．give him a small prize
B．advise him to repeat failure
C．blame others
D．encourage him to learn from failure
小题4:4. Which would be the best title (标题) for the passage?
A．Learning from Failure
B．Ways of Preventing Failure
C．Reasons of Failure
D．Getting Pleasure from Failure
