5．While I was in 9 th grade，I built a circuit （电路装置） for the traffic system of our city．After getting the first prize．I got this valuable advice from my father；"Do whatever interests you，and don't let the work challenge you，make sure you are challenging that work．"
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems．I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago．I divided the whole project into several small sections．When I understood it clearly，used my brainstorming skill on it，and gave some basic ideas．Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding （编码）．At first，I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question"How do I do it？"As I  kept working and discussed with my professor，I became more comfortable and those"how"questions soon turned into"what if I do this and that"types of questions．
It took me four days to write the code．The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details．Every time I saw my program running smoothly，I exploded with joy．I still remember the last day of my work．I was getting some problem and didn't know what to do．At that moment，a man came in to clean．He has headphones，and he was dancing while cleaning the room．Seeing this，I burst out laughing．That moment calmed me．I regained energy and interest and started to work again，and soon I fixed the problem．
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution．Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial．Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project．
59．According to the passage，the writer was interested inB．
A．developing traffic systems
B．doing challenging projects
C．winning great prizes
D．writing different codes
60．The writer asked the question"how do I do it"at first becauseA．

16．Do you like shopping？Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror？For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money．For me．it's something I would rather avoid．Thank goodness for the Internet!It's more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your sofa．But that's not the only reason：price is an important factor．We can buy goods and services cheaper online．But sometimes the problem is not knowing what to buy．This has led to a type of shopping called"showrooming"．
Showrooming is something I've done．I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price．I'm not alone in doing this．Research by a company called Foolproof，found 24%of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013．
Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that"people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying．"She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around．
But does this mean technology will kill shops？Certainly shops will change．They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts．
We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare．It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds!

13．Life learning （ sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning） is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn't，than what it is．And that，s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days，between certain hours，and managed by a specially trained professional．
Within that schooling framework，no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks，many bright students get bored，many slower students struggle and give Up or lose their self 一 respect，and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society．Hiey have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests，but they haven't really learnt much，at least of the official curriculum．
Life learners，on the other hand，know that learning is not difficult9 that people learn things quite easily if they，re not compelled and forced，if they see a need to learn something，and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable，at their own speed，in their own way．They know that learning cannot be produced in us and that we cannot produce it in others-no matter what age and•no matter whether we，re at school or at home．
Life learning is independent of time，location or the presence of teacher．It does not require mom or dad to teach，or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to June．Life learning is learner-driven．It involves living and learning 一 in and from the real world．It is about exploring，questioning，experimenting，making messes，taking risks without fear of making mistakes，being laughed at and trying again．
Furthermore，life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways．It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it．

20．Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team．It was the final quarter．The score was two to one，my son's team in the lead．Parents surrounded the playground，offering encouragement．
With less than ten seconds remaining，the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate，Mickey O'Donnel．With shouts of"Kick it!"echoing（回响）across the playground，Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had．All around me the crowd erupted（爆发）．O'Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence．Mickey had scored all right，but in the wrong goal，ending the game in a tie．For a moment there was a total hush．You see，Mickey has Down syndrome （唐氏综合症） and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal．All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey．He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored．
The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，hugged my son tightly and shouted，"I scored!I scored．Everybody won!Everybody won!"For a moment I held my breath，not sure how my son would react．I need not have worried．I watched，through tears，as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致礼）salute and started chanting，"Way to go Mickey!Way to go Mickey!"Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey，joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal．Mike happily and everyone sent their wishes to him．
Later that night，when my daughter asked who had won，I smiled as I replied，"It was a tie．Everybody won．"

10．Advice to"sleep on it"could be well founded，scientists say．After a good night's sleep a problem that couldn't be solved the night before can often appear more manageable，although the evidence（证据）until now has been personal experience．But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night's sleep can improve insight（洞察力）and problem-solving．
"If you have some newly-got memories in your brain，sleep acts on these memories and rebuild them，so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases，"said Dr Jan Born，a neuroscientist（神经病学专家）at the university．To test the theory，they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn some numbers into a new order．There was also a third，hidden rule，which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem．The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups：half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were forced to stay awake．Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group．"Sleep helped，"Born said in a telephone interview．"The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep，so it can act on the problem．"But Born admitted that he and his team don't know how rebuilding of memories occurs or what governs it．Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking．Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery，the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep，they added．

60．The underlined phrase"sleep on it"in Paragraph 1probably meansA．

14．Forcing children to learn will not improve their development or raise their chances of  getting into elite schools，an educator at an international school has warned．
Hong Kong parents like to fill their children's schedules each day with extracurricular  lessons，such as piano，swimming and painting．Parents hope the additional skills will help  their children stand out in admissions interviews for the top schools．
"It's good to expose your child to possibilities，but it's not good to keep pushing them  to try things．"said Professor Deborah Eyre，education director of Nord Anglia Education，which opens an international school in Lam Tin．"You also want children to think，reflect and develop themselves as individuals．"
"We value what parents do．We know that they're trying to do the best for their child．But what's important is that children come to school loving learning and wanting to learn，"Eyre said．
It has been reported that some parents enroll their children in two kindergartens-an  English-language one in the morning and another one in Chinese in the afternoon．
"For children，it's important to have good education but'it's also important that they  have more informal learning which they do with their family，"Eyre said．"If you want your  child to have a good vocabulary，you can read and talk to your child．They will learn better  with you than they would in a kindergarten．"
Eyre，a former director of the UK government's academy for gifted youth，offered the  example of Scandinavian countries such as Norway，where children do not formally take part in reading or writing until the age of seven．Rather than negatively affecting their  development，it helped them get to know the world．
"Internationally，the educator's role is to introduce some formal learning but also to  value play and discovery with young children who are trying to understand the world around them．"she said．We need to help them to discover for themselves．
