【题目】 When photographer Simon Czapp took pictures of a curious five-month-old fox, he soon realized this little fox was attracted by his subject. The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed on top of it. And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot, the fox stood on the shutter release button (快门按钮) and took her own frames.

Mr. Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie. Jessie is a lovely little fox. She has been at the animal park in Ashurst, Hampshire—home to wolves, deer and others in 25 acres of ancient woodland after being abandoned by her mother.

Mr. Czapp said, “Jessie was very playful and curious and not shy at all in front of the camera. Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her. Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod (三脚架). She stood on her back legs to look at the back of the camera. She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over. ”

He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up. At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance. Mr. Czapp added, “She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture. As I was leaving away with the public’s viewing window (取景窗) behind me, I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it. However, when I checked the memory card afterwards, I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two frames of me photographing her. I couldn’t believe I had been outfoxed (智取) by a fox! There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too! ”

【题目】Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to allay fears. (“This will not hurt!”) Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem. The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. But as ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.

However, what counts is to praise. You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. It is not critical what that is. This is about practice. When your child complies, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!” and give your child a hug or a high five. If your child says something true in the course of her day, praise that behavior too. Aim for one or two interactions like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, be matter-of-fact in your disapproval. Say something like, “That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the hoe; it is better to say the truth.”

Besides, you should set a good example to your kids and tell the truth explicitly. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.

In most instances, children are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go. Rather, use very mild punishment (light reprimand, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe, harsh or enduring punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.

Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are. Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, it can be dramatically lessened.

1Which punishment is relatively ineffective?

A. A brief time-out.

B. Light reprimand.

C. Short loss of privilege.

D. Taking away something for a week.

2What can we conclude from the passage?

A. Parents can tell lies sometimes.

B. Lying will disappear thoroughly.

C. Punishment can change behaviors.

D. Praising your kids a lot is beneficial.

3Which of the following could serve as the best title?

A. Is Lying a Problem?

B. Can Kids Stop Lying?

C. What Can You Do When Kids Tell lies?

D. How Can You Punish Your Kids for Lying?

4Which best shows the structure of the text?

【题目】 It’s a name that needs no address. Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.

So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of the North Pole deep in Alaska, including those simply sent to Santa. Last year, 120,000 letters arrived from 26 countries, not including the thousands with no return addresses.

Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark (邮戳) that has delighted children all over the world for many years. They feel happy to receive Santa’s reply.

Letters arrive all the year around in the town of 1,600, where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving, they start getting there by the thousands each day as Christmas comes. Even letters without stamps get through, an exception for the U. S. Postal Service.

“This is special because it has Santa’s name on it,” said Debra Cornelius, an officer at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks, where the letters are kept during the holiday.

Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.

In his 10 years as a volunteer, Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles, some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq, even though he died there.

Replies get a North Pole postmark, including a drawing of Santa’s face. Even late letters get a reply, Gaborik said, “It says something like ‘Thanks for writing. Santa’s been really busy,’ anything the children might want to hear,” he said.

1Letters written to Santa Claus without an address can arrive at the North Pole because ____ .

A.all letters without an address are sent there

B.people believe that Santa Claus lives there

C.this kind of letter is sent with a special postmark

D.streets named Santa Claus Lane can be found there

2We can know from the passage that ____ .

A.letters written to Santa Claus are sent free

B.Santa Claus’ replies to children always arrive at Christmas

3What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Letters written to parents

B.All kinds of wishes from children

C.Letters to Santa Claus rush into Alaska

D.North Pole, Alaska, a beautiful place

【题目】Retirement Age

Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely. The "standard" retirement age varies from country to country, but it is generally between 50 and 70, according to the latest statistics, 2011. However, for a long time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countries.

There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. Besides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement company policies than the young. A more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over.

Allowing old people to work indefinitely(无限期地), however, is not always a good policy. Some people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of ability. Many young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. On the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their life's labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisure. They can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals.

With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual's freedom—and right—to work. In my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.

1According to the passage, old people should go on with work because _________.

A.they will help the business not to fail quickly

B.they have grasped much practical experience

C.they need to have a sense of achievement

D.they want to learn more knowledge

2The underlined word "implement" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_________".

A.take overB.work on

C.get rid ofD.carry out

3The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that _________.

A.older people can't do their work well

B.young people usually have new ideas

C.it is better for older people to retire on time

D.older people would like to do, something else

4What is the author's attitude towards compulsory retirement?

A.positiveB.neutral

C.negativeD.uncertain

5Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP: Central Point P:Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C:Conclusion

A.B.

C.D.
