The boys' mother heard that a clergyman（牧师） in the town had been successful in educating children so she asked if he would speak with her boys．The clergyman agreed but asked to see them individually．So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning with the elder boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon．

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming （嗡嗡） voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him strictly, "Where is God?"

The boy's mouth dropped open but he made no answer, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed．So the clergyman repeated the question in an even stricter tone "Where is God?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer．So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and shouted" Where is God?"

The boy screamed and escaped from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him．When his elder brother found him in the closet, he asked "What happened?"

Certainly, a well-rounded education is the foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!

I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children's lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.

But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character's parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.

There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an "A" on his spelling test. She replied, "That' s great, honey, but everything has spell check these days. " It was funny --- but TRUE ! I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.

Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works - the credit card isn't free money - you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this - they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.

Choosing a career (职业) is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It' s not that she didn't know what she wanted to do. What she "wanted to do" and the degree she chose did not match.

I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven' t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience - maybe two or three courses m areas of interest in high school that give them a "feel" for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.

1. Why does the author mention the movie Easy A?

A. To prove the importance of book learning.

B. To show the parents' ignorance of spelling.

C. To lead to the topic he is going to talk about.

D. To share with the readers his feeling about the movie.

2.The author believes that

A. students need to focus on the skills in learning

B. parents and school should be consistent in education

C. his daughter is smart enough to make her own choice

D. courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students

3.The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 6 probably means_____

A. discouraging B. specific

C. rewarding D. regular

4.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. Schools should prepare students for the real life.

B. What students learn in school should be practiced in life.

C. Life experience is of greater importance than school education.

D. Students should spend more time discussing practical problems.

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry．Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology．This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones．

"Mobile data is not a dream; it's not an option but a requirement," said Len Lauer, head of a U．S．Communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month．

With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday's news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day．Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home．

Face-to-Face video calls

Don't worry about getting lost, 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset．

However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling．With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone．

Many European countries have already launched the services．In May 2000 the U．S．Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year．

International telecom companies can't wait to sell 3G in China, the world's largest mobile telecommunications market．But they will have to be patient．At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services．This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops．

"We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service," said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile．"We expect that the 3G licences will be issued late next year．"

Dear Textual Healing,

I would be very interested in your recommendations for any books to help me through a difficult time of my life. At 57, f am feeling a bit lost. I have a wonderful, loving husband and bright, caring teenage daughter but I am lonely and have lost my spark for life.

I have always taken care of everyone and managed a career, but, after the death of my father this summer, my difficulties as a child in a terribly abnormal family have come back to me regularly. / have become unfocused and often alone while my husband is away frequently on business and my daughter busy with school and friends.

I am seeking the help of a therapist and taking care of myself but I would love to read something to help me “get my groove (理想状况）back” and reengage with life.

Dear PC,

From the letter you’ve given us about your life, it’s no wonder you’re feeling a little lost. But before prescribing titles to help you get your groove back, I’d recommend taking a journey into Rebecca Solnit’s non-fiction book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is packed with the wisdom of everyone from Pat Barker to Thoreau and Keats.

The word lost is rooted in the Old Norse “los”，meaning the disbanding of an army. “This origin suggests soldiers falling out of formation to go home, ceasing fighting with the wide world. I worry now that many people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know,” Solnit writes. So instead of fearing that lost feeling, try seeing its potential for discovery. Explorers, remember, are always lost simply because they’re forever someplace new.

“Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark,” Solnit advises. “That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.”

For something that asks a little less of the reader while still giving plenty in return, try a dose (―剂）of Anne Tyler, the beloved creator of numerous heroes whose serious conditions will move anyone who finds themselves in a midlife difficult situation. One such character is 53-year-old Rebecca Davitch, the heroine of Back When We Were Grownups. Like you, she’s combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds herself feeling lonely in her own home. Could it be, she wonders, that she’s “turned into the wrong person"? Don't be fooled by the way this novel ambles along — as Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandoned, it asks some heart-rending questions before arriving at a place of graceful, joyous acceptance.

Along similar lines, I'm also going to recommend The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick. On his way to post her a note，he decides instead to visit her— on foot, from his home in deepest Devon to England's northernmost town, more than 600 miles away. You don’t manage that without focus! It’s a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete, during which he considers his childhood, marriage and relationship with his son, and becomes an accidental media sensation (轰动). By the time he reaches his destination, you’ll feel anything but tired.

Finally, Ruth Ozeki’s novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the missing spark back into your life. Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middle-aged novelist who finds it, washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, it’s a beautiful illustration of how our lives touch — and are touched by — others in ways we mightn't even be aware of. This Man Booker Prize finalist has plenty to teach about Zen Buddhism, and unless you happen to live in one of its settings, it provides a bracing change of scene, too.

One other suggestion: books, as we all know, make great companions but that doesn't mean they can’t be enjoyed in the company of others. If you find yourself home alone, why not slip one into your back pack and head out to a favourite café.

A sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend — a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.

Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.

1.What is Mr Gibbs?

A. A pet dog.

B. A policeman.

C. A doctor.

D. A firefighter.

2.When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease?

A. At her birth.

B. At the age of eight.

C. Before she was one year old.

D. When she was three years old.

3.The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.

A. Alida’s classmates

B. Alida’s parents

C. Alida’s doctors

D. Alida’s pets

4.How did Alida keep alive?

A. By training her dog.

B. By staying with her parents.

C. By playing with her fellows.

D. By breathing through a tube.

This morning, our school held a fire drill. We were listening to the teacher attentively in the math class while we heard the fire alarm from the speaker on the wall. The teachers stopped teaching immediately and instructing us to exit the classroom in order. When it got into the passageway, we found we were surrounded by heavy smoke somewhere. It was choking and our tears ran down. We bent down, covered our mouths with handkerchiefs, and ran downstairs rapid into the open on the playground, just as we had taught before.

When we come back to our classroom, we gave a summary of this fire drill. I think the fire disasters often happen. So we should know the tips to escape from a fire for case of emergency.
