Attitude is Altitude

Nick is a 25-year-old Australian man, whose life is full of hardships. He was born without limbs and thus was used to be made fun of for looking like a monster. Everything seemed impossible to him. However, Nick never gave up. After many failures, he finally learned to swim, fish and even surf. What surprised us is that he completed a university education and got two degrees. And now he is the CEO of two companies.

When he was asked about the secret of his success, Nick¡¯s answer is: Attitude is altitude. In his eyes, nothing is impossible if he is determined to overcome any difficulties. He thinks a positive attitude is the key to success.

After reading Nick¡¯s story, I have been feeling inspired by his spirit. Compared with him, we are healthy enough to enjoy life. Somehow, we are always frustrated facing difficulties. I think Nick has set a good example to us. Try to appreciate what we have and be more persevering and we will achieve success in the end.

That our students rarely get the opportunity to use their imagination was an open secret among Chinese people. Now£¬a global survey has brought it to the notice of the rest of the world.

The survey covering 21 countries£¬conducted by International Educational Progress Evaluation Organization£¬showed Chinese students excelled at math£¬beating their peers from other countries. But when it came to using their imagination£¬they were tied for the last place. And in creativity£¬they were fifth from the bottom.

The survey results are not shocking£¬given the way our children are taught in schools and at home. But they are a severe reminder to our educators and parents to improve their ways.

Chinese students rarely get the time or chance to use their imagination. Right from the day they enter school they are pushed into a culture of exams and more exams. Teachers and parents teach them that education is all about passing these exams with flying colors. And to pass those exams£¬they are made to learn by fixed standard answers.

Teachers dare not encourage students to think outside the box. Teachers don't like students questioning them£¬killing the curiosity of the young minds. For children£¬there's hardly any room for bright ideas either in class or at home.

Israel shares the values of education with China. But there is a world of difference between the way Israeli parents treat their children and we do. Israeli parents do not mollycoddle their children. Instead£¬they encourage them to learn how to live independently. In contrast£¬Chinese parents go to extremes£¬allowing their children to do whatever they like to do and punishing them severely the next for committing a ¡°mistake¡±£®

The global study should make us swing into action and help our students to throw open their young minds to imagination and creativity. It is time our education officials and educators asked themselves what they should do to let our children's imagination and creativity blossom.

¡¾1¡¿Based on the passage£¬the creativity of the Chinese students ranks ________ among the 21 countries.

A£®the 5th

B£®the 17th

C£®the 21st

D£®the 1st

¡¾2¡¿Why is the imagination of the Chinese students so poor?

A£®Their parents often improve their educational ways.

B£®They are thought to be lacking in curiosity.

C£®Their teachers are afraid of being questioned.

D£®They are not encouraged to imagine both at home and in class.

¡¾3¡¿What does the underlined word ¡°mollycoddle¡± probably mean in Paragraph 6?

A£®spoil

B£®motivate

C£®appreciate

D£®scold

¡¾4¡¿It can be learned from the passage Israeli parents ________.

A£®lay much more emphasis on education than Chinese ones

B£®allow their children to live in whatever way they like

C£®focus more attention on developing their children's living ability

D£®encourage their children to commit mistakes in lives

¡¾5¡¿Israel is introduced in the passage mainly ________.

A£®to enrich the content of the text

B£®to support and advocate Israel education

C£®to illustrate the disadvantages of Chinese education

D£®to criticize the wrong behavior of Chinese parents

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (ÅÆ×Ó) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.

For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?

Experts say it's because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say ¡°I belong¡± or ¡°I can afford it.¡±

Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.

Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. ¡°I'd rather spend the extra money to get something I know I'll be satisfied with,¡± she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying ¡°As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.¡± But not all teenagers agree. ¡°Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,¡± says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. ¡°It's fake (¼ÙµÄ) happiness.¡±

People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren't any better. ¡°It's wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,¡± says Edmund Williams, 15. ¡°You'll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.¡±

¡¾1¡¿The example of Jim's report wants to tell us _____.

A. popular brands make people comfortable

B. Koss Pro headphones are better than Beats

C. the hottest brands are of the highest quality

D. lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands

¡¾2¡¿According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably _____.

A. to show off

B. for their better quality

C. for their better designs

D. to belong to a special group

¡¾3¡¿What does Edmund think of expensive brands?

A. They are not worth the price.

B. They make him feel confident.

C. They need to improve their quality.

D. They pay too much attention to personal likes.

¡¾4¡¿The text is mainly about _____.

A. how to buy things reasonably

B. the competition between brands

C. the different values of teenagers

D. whether expensive brands are worth high prices
