offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
     Accommodation Zones
     Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system.

     Singing are the pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti. One of them plays a guitar
made from an empty oil tin. Their headmistress, Emile Jean-Noel, is one of the few women school
principals in the country.
     Over 70 % of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food, water, schools,
or housing. To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children
to school, meals are provided by the World Food Programme.
     "We are so cut off we have many difficulties," comments Emile, adding that finding chalk, school
books and other materials is practically impossible. Emile tries to encourage those around her to make
use of all available resources. Her efforts are bearing fruit. One of her successes was convincing local
women to contribute to their children's schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery
(刺绣) and other handicrafts.
     Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years.
Enrolment(入学) is a mere 44 per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish
it. Less than a third of these go on to secondary school. In rural areas it is not rare to find 17- and
18 year-olds in primary school. Beau-Roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils. Emile works constantly
 to improve her pupils'environment. Under her direction, a local worker is now constructing a storehouse
for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme.
     Not only is Emile's salary too little, but she receives it irregularly. For her, transport is a real headache. She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus, costing more than she can afford.
     "The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly", Emile comments. "With all the
sacrifices and risks it requires, only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it." Nevertheless,
Emile loves her job. "I always feel at home with the children and, the parents understand what I'm doing."

                                            The Cost of Higher Education
     Individuals(个人)should pay for their higher education.
    A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual.Graduates earn more than
nongraduates.Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However, only
some people have it.So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it.There are pressing calls on
the resources(资源)of the government.Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to
earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
    Full government funding(资助)is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish
university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18thcentury Oxford,
where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government.Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work;and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the
students were similarly lazy.
    If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their
teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving
less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.
    Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy(经济).
Man y graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest(投资)
and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are
economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs.
Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.
     Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.

1. The underlined word"them"in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A. taxpayers      
B. pressing calls
C. college graduates  
D. government resources

2. The author thinks that with full government funding ________.

A. teaching are less satisfied
B. students are more demanding
C. students will become more competent
D. teachers will spend less time on teaching

3. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to ________.

A. argue against free university education
B. call on them to finance students' studies
C. encourage graduates to go into business
D. show their contribution to higher education

     It is difficult to imagine what life will be like without memory.The meanings of thousands of
everyday perceptions(感觉、知觉), the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our
habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by
memory.
     Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use.It includes
not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in
the way an animal typically behaves.Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain
because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory is also involved when
a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.
     Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and
machines.Computers, for example, contain devices from storing data for later use.It is
interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being.
The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"-ready for
instant use.An average U.S.teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000
words of English.However, this is but a fraction(部分、片断) of the total amount of
information which the teenager has stored.Consider, for example, the number of faces and
places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
     The use of words is the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large
part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.
1.According to the passage, memory is considered to be ________.
A.the basis for decision making and problem solving
B.an ability to store experiences of future use
C.an intelligence typically possessed by human beings
D.the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words
2.The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that ________.
A.the computer's memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager's
B.the computer's memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human being's
C.the computer's memory's capacity is much smaller even than a teenager's
D.both A and B
3.The whole passage implies that _______.
A.only human beings have problem-solving intelligence
B.a person's memory is different from a computer's in every aspect
C.animals are able to solve only very simple problems
D.animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence
4.The topic of the passage is __________.
A.What would life be like without memory?
B.Memory is of vital importance to life.
C.How is a person's memory different from an animal's or a computer's?
D.What is contained in memory?

     Being organized is an important skill for school and life.  When you're well organized, you can stay
focused, instead of spending time hunting things down.    1   For schoolwork, it means having one
notebook or place where you store all your assignments, so you know what you have to do and when.
  Keeping labeled folders(贴有标签的文件夹) for handouts(课堂讲义)and keeping all your
schoolwork neat and in a specific place-these are the main parts of organization.  
     For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back as you
go.    2   It means keeping your schoolbag, your shoes, and your clean underwear in the same places so
you always know where to find them.  
     Planning is part of being organized, too.    3   Calendars, lists, and schedules can help you plan.  You
can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplace.  Making a schedule or "to-do" list for
yourself is a good idea.  Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do.    4  Check
off things when you've done them.  Use your list to help you decide which thing is most important to
work on first.  
       5  But once you're organized, it feels great.  The less time you spend hunting around for things or
panicking about homework, the more time you have for better things, like reading a good book or
playing.

     The over 55s who grew up watching blackandwhite programs and films are more likely to dream in
grey, research suggests.
     And the under 25s who have watched color TV all their lives tend to have colorful adventures in_the_
land_of_nod.
     Research from the first half of the 20th century, especially in the 1930s and 1950s, suggested that most dreams are in black and white.
     But results from tests in the 1960s and later suggested that up to 80 per cent of dreams contain some
colors.
     Since this period marked the transition  (过渡) from blackandwhite films and TV to widespread
Technicolor (彩色印片法), an obvious explanation was that television was influencing dreams, but
differences  between  the  studies  prevented  the researchers from drawing any firm conclusions.
     Later studies asked subjects  (实验对象)  to complete dream diaries immediately they woke up, but 
 the  earlier  research  used  questionnaires completed in the middle of the day, so the subjects might have
simply forgotten color elements in their dreams and assumed they were grey.
     To solve the problem, psychologist Eva Murzyn asked 60 subjects, half of whom were under 25 and
half over 55, to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure (暴露)
to films and TV.
     The subjects then recorded different aspects of their dreams in a diary every morning.
     She found there was no significant difference between results drawn from the questionnaires and the
dream diaries.
     She then analyzed data to find out whether an early exposure to blackandwhite TV or films could still
have a lasting effect on her subjects'dreams,40 years later.
Less than five per cent of the under25s'dreams were black and white.But the over55s who had access to
blackandwhite media in their younger days reported dreaming in black and white roughly a quarter of the
time.
     Murzyn said, "There could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big influence on the way dreams are formed." People's attention might be heightened during the time they are watching
TV or films.
1. "this period" in  the fifth paragraph refers to________.
A. the 20th century  
B. the 1930s
C. the 1950s  
D. the 1960s and later
2 The underlined words "in the land of nod" in Paragraph 2 means________.
A. in the evening  
B. during travelling
C. in a dream world  
D. when they are thinking
3. Murzyn's study was different from other studies because  ________.
A. more people of different ages were involved
B. both diaries and questionnaires were used
C. more advanced technology was used
D. subjects were given more time to record their dreams
4. From the passage, we can learn that________.
A. studies on the color of dreams have been going on for many years
B. the results of the previous studies on dreams couldn't be trusted
C. older people are more likely to be influenced by TV viewing
D. the colors of TV sets are more likely to appear in viewers'dreams
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The color of people's dreams changes along with their ages.

     Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them.For
success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
really one's equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
     Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
inner peace under all outside liveliness.
     But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
     To bring up a child means carrying one's soul in one's hand; it means never placing ourselves in
danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the
child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember
that the child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the
other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.

1. The passage mainly talks about________.

A. misleading zones and right ways in educating children
B. current problems in training children
C. what should be taught to children
D. the importance of educating children

2. Children, according to the passage, are experiencing________.

A. corrections, orders and peace
B. orders, interference and peace
C. interference, orders and corrections
D. peace, guide and praise

3. If you were a parent, which of the following methods is TRUE according to the text?

A. You could treat your children not so seriously for they don't understand many things.
B. You could train your children as you wish them to be.
C. You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.
D. You should correct your children immediately if their behavior is not what you want.

4. We may conclude that the author believes people should________.

A. play with the children with enthusiasm all day long just to please them
B. try to give an order, advice and suggestions to their children at any time
C. treat their children just as the way they treat an adult in their daily life
D. regard their children as an equal to them and have understanding of the inner peace of them
