题目内容

An insect bee stands out on the logo of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, despite “Bee” being unrelated to the name of the insect. “Bee” refers to “a gathering”, where people join together in an activity.

The National Spelling Bee, formed in 1925, was a collection of many local spelling bees, organized by Louisville. With competitions, cash prizes, and a trip to the nation’s capital, it was hoped that the bee would stimulate “general interest among pupils in a dull subject”. Mark Neuhauser won the national Spelling Bee held that year, by successfully spelling “gladiolus”. In 2014, there were two winners of the bee-a conclusion that has only happened three other times in Bee history, and not since 1962. Sriam Harthwar, a 14-year-old from New York and Ansun Sujoe, a 13-year-old from Texas shared the excitement as co-champions after 22 rounds of spelling. Each took home over $30,000 in cash, scholarship and bonds.

The spelling bee has been held every year except for 1943-1945 due to World War II. Later, the Scripps Company acquired the rights to the program in 1941. The bee is held in late May or early June of each year. It is open to students who have not yet completed the eighth grade, reach their 15th birthday, nor won a precious National Spelling Bee. Its goal is educational; not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling, but also to help enlarge their vocabularies and widen their knowledge of the English language.

2.What does the underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

3.We can conclude from the text that 　　　　　　.

B. the goal of the Bee is more commercial than educational

C. the Bee has already been held for ninety times

D. the first prize has been shared four times in Bee history

A few things to do during weekends

to improve your life

Weekend at last! Something you’re so looking forward to after a tiring week at work. Here are several tips on how to make the most of your weekends.

Spend time with loved ones. Reconnect with family members or friends you neglected(疏忽) lately. Don’t do it out of guilt or because you have to. Do it because you want to. Reach out to them to see how they are doing. 1. Return their calls if you were busy when they last tried to reach you. Talk to them. Listen to them. Be there for them.

2. Stay away from TV, iPad, iPhone and any other electronic devices. Unplug! Your brain needs to clear up from all the stress you’ve put on yourself during the week. Why not read a book instead? A paper one. Seriously, when was the last time you did that?

Laugh, laugh and laugh again. You can never have enough of it. Laugh is the best medicine ever. 3. For example, it helps you manage stress, strengthen your immune system and you are 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack.

Express appreciation. 4. Be grateful for your family, friends, health, the food you put on the table, the clothes you wear and the air that you breathe.

There you are. Doing a few things during weekends will have a positive long-term effect on your life. 5. .

A. Apply the “no technology” rule.

B. Pause and pay attention to your thoughts.

C. Friendship is the best source of happiness.

D. Don’t call them only when you need them.

E. Put them into practice and you’ll beat the Monday Blues.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of that would be considered a very poor family. On their return back, the father asked his son to explain what he had learnt. The boy, who had remained silent and deep in thought on the journey home, replying in a way that shocked his father.

The boy said he wanted to become farmer. He envied the farmers who had the beautiful night star to give them light while her family had only expensive lanterns. His wish was to have a farm where he could go swimming in an endless river instead of the garden pool in their home. Finally the boy finished by saying, “Before the trip I thought we were rich but today I have learnt who is true rich.”

With this, the boy got up and walked away, leaving his father sat on their comfortable sofa, totally speechless.
