Toddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee---twenty-two-old Jonathan Brown—as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will benefit from the experience of having a male role model in the nursery.” Says mother of two, Margery.

Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum with looking after all the children.” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”

But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the National Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion(怀疑)in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recoginsed.” Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under-7s football coach, and plants to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.

What do Jonathan’s friends think of his choice of career?

“Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now.” he says, “though they do make jokes about nappies. And I’ve found that girls are actually quite impressed – so that’s good!”

1.Why was Jonathan employed by Toddler World Nursery?

A. He was the best among all the applicants.

A. It has been women-specific.

B. It requires people’s understanding.

Middle school graduation style may be a bit more casual than formal high school or college ceremonies,but the move from junior to senior high school is still an important occasion that can be celebrated in many ways.

The decision whether students will wear caps and gowns（礼服）for middle school graduation is usually up to the individual school.Some feel that this is the perfect way to commemorate the special occasion,while others feel the cap and gown is unnecessary for a junior high ceremony.

For those schools that choose not to use caps and gowns,it is typically suggested that students wear dress clothes for the occasion.Students may also be encouraged to dress for graduation in a uniform manner,such as white shirts and black pants or skirts,or educators may suggest dressing in the school colors.Schools that choose to have students wear academic regalia（制服）for the ceremony may choose to purchase gowns in a variety of sizes from a store such as Graduate Affairs,and then let students borrow them,and reuse them each year.Caps may be purchased by a Parent-Teacher Organization or by the individual graduates.

Parents may choose to host open house or party when their child graduates from middle school.This is typically an informal affair,such as a barbeque or pool party,or simply appetizers or cake to honor the graduate.Simple backyard games such as volleyball,bocce ball,and Frisbee are a fun way to entertain young teens,tweens,and well-wishers.Other party games and a band might also be considerations for a large or more complicated gathering.

Whether simple or complex,there are many ways to remember a graduation from middle school and make this time a special and wonderful one.Graduation events are perfect for highlighting a student’s achievements during middle school and preparing for his or her future success.

Reading is really a good way to improve ourselves. 1. If you don’t believe me, please consider these reasons to read more books.

1. You will optimize your brain power.

2. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp（even in old age）.

2.3.

If you’re looking for entertainment on a budget, you can’t beat books. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices like the Kindle and re-selling websites like eBay, it’s never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.

3. You will reduce stress and get into a good night’s sleep.

Exposing yourself to artificial light on your cellphone or TV reduces your body’s production of melatonin （褪黑激素）, which can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. 4. Just replace that with a good book, which is a much better sleep-friendly alternative.

4. You will change your life.

I firmly believe that if it were not for books, I wouldn’t have achieved so much in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity that I depend on as a writer, business owner, and coach.

When a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.

Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.

In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.

Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.

2.What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?

3.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .

A. predict natural disasters B. protect themselves against insects

C. talk to one another intentionally D. help their neighbors when necessary

4.what can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The word is changing faster than ever.

B. People have stronger senses than before

After I had been in China studying Chinese for about a year, I had exhausted my old textbook. I wanted more interesting material. One day I cam? upon a bookstore, and, 1. (realize) how cheap books in China were, 2. (have) the idea that I should start learning from Chinese children’s books. 3. was perfect and so obvious—why hadn’t I done this 4. (early)?

Then reality came as a shock. There was a very good reason 5. everyone wasn’t doing it already: Chinese children’s books 6. (design) for native Chinese kids, so they 7. (general) don’t make good material for foreign language learners.

Most Chinese children’s books are too hard 8. Chinese learners. It’ll be discouraging to read many books, especially those 9. (choose) at random, and all the “pinyin” is likely to be less helpful than you think. So, I do wish, one day, there are some really good books 10. (suit) for foreign learners out there in China’s bookstores.

It’s good to make mistakes,and here is why.

First of all,mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things.It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things,we are growing.If we never try anything new,how can we improve?The simple answer is,“We can’t”.

Another good thing about mistakes is that when we are making them,we are learning.Consider this—Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb.When asked how it felt to fail that many times,he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.

When we make a mistake,we are much closer to success.Because every time we make a mistake,we eliminate one of the things that keeps us from success.

But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead,when we try something new,we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way we want it to,we will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources—in the form of time and money—so we shouldn’t blow them all on one approach to a problem.It’s best that we realize it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn,make corrections, and try again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.

There is an old saying that goes,“If you’re not making mistakes,you’re not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes.

1.Which can be used to replace the underlined word "eliminate" in Paragraph 4?

A. make up for B. get rid of

C. accept D. expect

2.What do we know from the fifth paragraph?

A. We should ignore the possible consequences.

B. We should accept the outcome willingly.

C. We should make some limits for our next try.

D. We should avoid making the same mistakes.

3.What is the text mainly about?

A. Dealing with mistakes. B. Making mistakes.

C. Making progress. D. Benefiting from mistakes.

4.What may the writer suggest we say to ourselves when making a mistake?

A. Never mind,I tried my beat. B. Great!Now I have learned something.

C. This is a waste of time. D. Look at this mess.I should just give up.
