I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1,1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.

I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University—coincidentally ,the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.

When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.

In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.

That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.

I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says—a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so…”

My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.

1.How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?

A. Angry and sad.

B. Excited and moved.

C. Curious and scared.

D. Happy and interested.

2.What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. My brother is the real baby in the family.

B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.

C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.

D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.

3.What does the brother often help the author do?

A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.

B. Help him with his studies.

C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.

D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.

4.What is the best title for this text?

A. My Strange Family Gatherings

B. The Real Baby in the Family

C. Stuck with Me—My Not-So-Little Little Brother

D. The Feeling of Having a Brother

When young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can bring some stress. But they would do well to remember that a new alternative is available—micro-home.

Called “tiny houses”, these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more. What’s lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.

Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have unique practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72- to122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world’s narrowest home, fills in an alley. The Ecocapsule home uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere. A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or enclosed courtyard.

Visually appealing as micro-homes are, there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting cozy on a mini-couch. Moving into a tiny house requires the removing of most non-essentials, regardless of the emotional connection to them. Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the limited space may even cause a solitary (独居的) individual to experience some cabin fever (幽闭症). And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquiremore possessions.

Though the limitations will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in a small price tag and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget. And though you won’t have much stuff around the house, this can provide the comfort of simple living and repairs. Micro-homes are also practically mobile and have eco-friendliness that can’t be matched by other homes. They probably aren’t for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.

1.What can be learnt about micro-homes from the second paragraph?

A. People have to eat out as there is no cooking area.

B. These homes are poorly designed due to the small size.

C. All of the houses are under 50 square meters in size.

D. Such houses aren’t necessarily inconvenient though tiny.

2.The third paragraph is mainly developed ________.

A. by giving examples

B. by making comparisons

C. by following the time order

D. by describing the process

3.Micro-homes are especially fit for ________.

A. a young couple in hope of settling down permanently

B. an individual constantly suffering from cabin fever

C. a college graduate on a tight budget for the time being

D. a family of five in favor of environmental protection

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Is Your House Tiny Enough?

B. Why Not Enlarge Your House?

C. East Or West, Home Is the Best!

D. Micro-homes—More Than Tiny!

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

To understand your child’s learning style, observe him as he plays. 1. Chances are, you’ll notice that his favorites have something in common. Perhaps they all have bright colors and different patterns or interesting shapes, or make sounds. Then look at how he plays: Does he tend to look at objects carefully or to hold and feel them in his hands? Perhaps he is less interested in toys than in rolling and moving around. 2.

Most children have a number of different intelligences and learning styles and can be engaged in a variety of ways. If you don’t see a strong preference for particular toys or games, it means that your child has more than one primary intelligence or that he isn’t old enough to have developed a strong preference. 3. By then your child will most likely respond best to specific activities and types of experiences.

4. This doesn’t mean that you have no way to help him master certain skills—almost anything can be taught in a way that works well for a specific intelligence. When you identify and respond to your child’s intelligence and learning style, you help him approach the world on his terms. 5.

A. Respecting individual intelligences and learning styles means offering your child a variety of ways to learn.

B. Which toys does he tend to choose?

C. You should not force your child to do what he doesn’t like.

D. As you play with your child, pay attention to what he is most interested in.

E. In most cases, you can begin to see a preference for particular styles at around age two.

F. Following his strengths can make mastering new skills less frustrating and can help him develop a lifelong love of learning.

G. Telling your child his learning styles is a good way to improve his studies.

Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city's most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago's most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the "gateway to the West," wait for us.

1.Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds?

A. It brought warmth to them.

B. It made them feel comfortable.

C. It improved the quality of the air.

D. It left the sky blue and beautiful.

2. What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago?

A. They explored for foreign customs.

B. They visited Polish communities.

C. They studied the history of the city.

D. They enjoyed famous local foods.

3.The author and her companions stayed online ________.

A. communicating with strangers abroad

B. asking for information on foreign foods

C. sharing their travel plan with strangers

D. learning about different cultures in the world

4.The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.

A. boredB. relaxedC. FascinatedD. Disappointed

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.

No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.

A. repeated without any change

B. treated as a joke

C. made some changes by the parent

D. set in the present

2.According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.

A. in a realistic setting

B. heard for the first time

C. repeated too often

D. told in a different way

3.The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.

A. makes them less fearful

B. develops their power of memory

C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of

D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs

4.One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.

A. they are full of absurd imagination

B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth

C. they are not interesting

D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach
