      People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were
asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In
another   1   , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor.
Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his   2  ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the
victim was more likely to     3     aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In
    4   these and other research findings, two themes are   5   : we are more willing to help people we
like for some reason and people we think  6  assistance.
     In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid.   7    , in a field
study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport.
The application was ready to be    8   , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the
application was sometimes that of a very    9    person and sometimes that of a less attractive person.
The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not.
Results showed that people were more likely to   10   the application if the person in the photo was
physically attractive.
      The degree of     11  between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For
example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner.
In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n)  
   12     T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
      Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers
in a supermarket were more likely to give someone.   13   to buy milk rather than to buy cookies,
probably because milk is thought more essential for   14   than cookies. Passengers on a New York
subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be    15   rather than
drunk.

     Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good,most
would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always
say,"My spoken English is poor."However,their spoken English does not have to remain "poor".
I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
     First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.
Obviously the better ?answer? is to expand their vocabulary.However,you can speak with a
limited vocabulary,if your attitude is positive.Others will follow you as long as you use the words
that you know.
     Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.Sometimes they make mistakes when they are
speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should
be FLUENTLY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following therules for
grammar and using the rules to get your message across,to talk to someone in English,as quickly
and well as you can,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't
matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any
mistakes he hears.
     The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two
ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
     Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.Instead of
actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking
opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.If you have
this proactive outlook,then,you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
     If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know.
Remember:USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking
English more.

     But how will Chinese students deal with a very different style of teaching?   3  that encourages

       9  , that's a pity, because asking your teachers questions should be encouraged. After all, they've
been educated,   10  a lot more experience than you and perhaps possess a little wisdom.
    When I taught journalism at college in Scotland I   11  answering students' questions. Some of them
asked difficult ones. I didn't always know the answers. If I didn't, I'd admit   12  and try to find out
later.
   At university we were encouraged to challenge our peers and tutors. A student would prepare a
paper on a  subject and other students would    13     it. It was a way of  14    critical and logical
thinking.
   You can learn to think logically,  15  some of the more difficult problems would probably require

critical thinking.

      Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses. It's an instinct which can be
woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by
instinct, we're using resources within the unconscious (无意识的) mind. When the resources of two persons'
unconscious minds link together into the same frequency (频率), we call it telepathy.
       We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone,
you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better
at sending. 
      You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact (联系)
you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than
would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try 'feeling' who is contacting you. Don't guess,
but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these works for you, that doesn't mean that you have
no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
      Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find
that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other's unconscious mind. 
      Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link
up to the other's mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand
the other's mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate.
A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child's eagerly wanting his or her
mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother's deep
desire to protect her child from harm.
1. When does telepathy occur?
[     ]
A. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger.
B. It occurs when one has very good five senses.
C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend.
D. It occurs when one doesn't know a stranger.
2. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?
[     ]
A. Receiving Telepathy
B. Telepathy: Mind-to-Mind Contact
C. Telepathy: People's Dream
D. Dream of Telepathy
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
[     ]
A. The more people separate, the more likely that telepathy will occur.
B. It is by using the five senses that telepathy occurs.
C. Telepathy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another.
D. One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friend's call as one wishes.
4. Which of the following belongs to telepathy?
[     ]
A. By accident, you are aware of a friend of yours is coming to see you.
B. People's communication over the telephone.
C. A mother's sense of her child is in danger.
D. A couple's long separation.

    Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only
for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
     In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for
all - one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that
free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with
university degree; they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought
to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the
work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live
without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish
away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…
     In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be
educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability
and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be
ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

1. The writer of the passage thinks that _______.

A. education can settle most of the world's problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won't help to solve problems
D. all the social problems can't be solved by education

2. The writer wants to prove that _______.

A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. work with hands is the most important

3. The purpose of education is _______.

A. to choose officials for the country
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world

4. The passage tells us about _______ of the education.

A. the means
B. the system
C. the value
D. the type

     Going to school means learning new skills and facts in such subjects as reading, math, science, history, art or music. Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to
improve both the teaching and learning processes.
     Some researchers, such as Sian Beilock and Susan Levine, are trying to learn about learning. Beilock
and Levine are psychologists at the University of Chicago. Psychologists study the ways people think and behave, and these researchers want to know how a person's thoughts and behavior are related.
     In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, Beilock and Levine found a
surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female
teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that
boys are better than girls at math.
     "If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball
effect on their math achievement
," Levine told Science News. The study suggests that if these girls
grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they
would have if they were more confident.
     Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to
learn-and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word
"anxiety" to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry. (Many people, for example, have
anxiety about going to the dentist because they're worried about pain.)
     The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feeling can influence how her
female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first- and second-grade
teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning
and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.
     The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar
had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious
about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such
as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for
example, was probably anxious about math.
     Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average, girls with math-anxious
teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus, on the test
showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy, 20 girls showed feeling that boys
would be better at math-and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.
      According to surveys done before this one, college students who want to become elementary school
teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math. Plus, nine of every 10 elementary teachers are
women, Levine said.
     This study was small, and it's often difficult to see large patterns in small studies, David Geary told
Science News. Geary, a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, studies how children
learn math. "This is an interesting study, but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need
of replication with a larger sample," Geary said. That means that the results are just showing something
that might be happening, but more studies should be done. If more studies find the same trend as this one,
then it's possible that a teacher's anxiety over math really is affecting her female students.
1. Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to ______.
A. know the effects of teaching on learning      
B. study students' ways of learning math
C. prove women teachers are unfit to teach math  
D. find better teaching methods for teachers
2. The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means that girls may ______. 
A. end up learning math with anxiety from their teachers
B. study the ways their female teachers behave
C. have an influence on their math-anxious female teachers
D. gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math
3. In the study, what were the teachers required to do?  
A. Prepare two math achievement tests for the students.
B. Tell their feelings about math problems.
C. Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy.
D. Compare the students' scores after the math tests.
4. What is the finding of the new study?  
A. No male students were affected by their teachers' anxiety.
B. Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys.
C. About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls.
D. Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests.

A. 117 students and teachers took part in the new study.
B. The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study.
C. Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math.

                                           The Basics of Math-Made Clear
     Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of
more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of
arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.
     The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various
mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical
topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.
     Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more
troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The
lectures offer students the chance to "make sense" of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so
frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about
this amazing-and completely understandable-field of study.
     By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They
will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more
confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and
exciting mathematical challenges.
     Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as "the best math teacher in
America," is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make
them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master
in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.
     With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics
at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for
future primary school teachers.

     A new study in West Africa shows how farm irrigation systems powered by the sun can
produce more food and money for villagers.The study in Benin found that solarpowered pumps
are effective in supplying water,especially during the long dry season.
     SubSaharan Africa is the part of the world with the least food security.The United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more than one billion of the world's people
faced hunger last year.Around 265 million of them live south of the Sahara Desert.Lack of
rainfall is one of their main causes of food shortages.
     Jennifer Burney from Stanford University in California led the study.The research team
helped build three solarpowered drip irrigation (滴灌) systems in northern Benin.Between
30 and 35 women used each system to pump water from the ground or a stream.Each
woman was responsible for farming her own 120 square meters of land.They also farmed
other land collectively.
     The solarpowered irrigation systems produced an average of nearly two tons of vegetables
per month.During the first year,the women kept a monthly average of almost nine kilograms
of vegetables for home use.They sold the surplus produce at local markets.The earnings
greatly increased their ability to buy food during the dry season which can last six to nine
months.People in the two villages with the systems were able to eat three to five more
servings of vegetables per day.But making the surplus available at markets also had a wider
effect.
     The study compared the villages with two others where women farmed with traditional
methods like carrying water in buckets.The amount of vegetables eaten in those villages also
increased,though not as much.The researchers note that only four percent of the cropland in
SubSaharan Africa is irrigated.Using solar power to pump water has higher costs at first.But
the study says it can be more economical in the long term than using fuels like gasoline,diesel
or kerosene.And solar power is environmentally friendly.

1.Food security in SubSaharan Africa is insufficient mainly because of________.
A.lack of rainfall
B.limitation of farmland
C.a small crop variety
D.little sunlight
2.From the third paragraph we know that________.
A.water is wasted by using the system
B.the farmers irrigate the land together
C.all farmers use irrigation systems in northern Benin
D.the solarpowered systems take up more manpower
3.The underlined word "surplus" in the 4th paragraph most probably means________.
A.special
B.unnecessary
C.extra
D.abandoned
4.Using solar power to pump water has advantages EXCEPT that________.
A.solar energy has higher cost at first
B.solar power helps to protect environment
C.solar power helps farmers increase earnings
D.solar energy can be more economical in the long run
5.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Manpower affects rainfall in Africa
B.Irrigation by carrying water in buckets
C.Solarpowered pumps aid African farmers
D.Vegetable supply increased in African villages
