【题目】While most teachers enjoy the summer break from work, other teachers try to find part-time work during that time. If you’re one of those teachers who are finding part-time work during the summer, writing for children might be the right job you’re looking for.

During the school year, you’re very familiar with children in your classroom. That means you know what children think about, how they talk and how they act. If you read stories and books for children with your students during the school year, you also know the kinds of story that children are fond of.

As a teacher, you can go to the school library and find out what kinds of books students are most interested in. Also, what kinds of books seem to be in short supply? Use this information to create stories and novels.

If you continue writing for children during the school year, you won’t have enough time to write as much while you’re teaching, but you can probably manage to work on at least one short story for children each month. Even if you don’t finish these pieces during the school year, when school ends for the summer you will have lots of writing projects to finish and hand in to editors (编辑).

Recently, many teachers have turned to writing for children as a part-time job. If you enjoy writing as much as you enjoy teaching, then writing for children might be the second job for you, too.

After a final examination，I got a letter from my best friend and his parents live on a farm. They invited me stay with them for several weeks. I was so exciting that I could sleep all night. When I got to their home， I was warm received. I lived in a big and nice room. I enjoyed the life there very much. Every morning we got up early and walk on the farm where we could enjoy the fresh air or beautiful scenery.

We gathered some flowers here and there，and I found it filled of funs. In the afternoon we did our homework. I did have a good time.

【题目】Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine ”, says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when were younger. All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.

Merzenich has developed a computer---based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.

Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. “It’s a bit like tennis instructor,” says Merzenich , “hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty quick.”

The biggest finding in brain research in last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.

To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language...... “When it comes to preventing aging, you really do “do it or lose it”, says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.

【1】Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________.

A. the information being dealt with

B. computer languages

C. the activities one joins in

D. speech training

【2】By saying “the brain at any age is highly plastic”, the writer probably means the brain can be____

A. developed B. mastered

C. used D. researched

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A. Practice makes a quick mind

B. Brain research started ten years ago.

C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer

D. People used to believe nothing could stop the brain slowing down.

【4】Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?

A. The training methods work better for the old

B. The training of the brain should start at an early age

C. People should use the brain to stop it from aging.

D. It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.

【题目】Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum（钟摆）and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the difference remarked, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”

Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass．For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older．

Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The unfamiliarity of the journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasion can often help slow the clock.

When days become as identical as beads（小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To fight this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time. Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.

【1】The quotation（引用语） in the first paragraph is used to indicate ______.

A. physical time is different from psychological time

B. time should not be measured by a pendulum

C. psychological time is quite puzzling

D. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time

【2】Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?

A. Our sense of time changes.

B. We spend less time at the beach.

C. More time is structured and scheduled.

D. Time is structured with too many appointments.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. It gives various explanations about time.

B. It explains why time flies fast and how to slow it down psychologically.

C. It shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.

D. It describes how we experience time psychologically.

【题目】How to deal successfully with a child showing outstanding musical ability? Its not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift. Many parents may even fail to recognize and respond to their children’s need until discouragement explodes into uncooperative behavior. And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are especially able in academic subjects，the musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordinary school. Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school.

The five music schools in Britain aim to provide all environment where gifted children can develop their skills under the guidance of professional musicians. Children here spend about half of a day on musical activities，for example，individual lessons，orchestras，chamber(室内音乐的)groups，voice training，conducting and theory. They also spend several hours a day practicing in private rooms. The rest of their time is taken up with the subjects: English, maths and basic sciences.

What are the disadvantages? An obvious problem is that the fees are high. However, each school will offer scholarships and other forms of financial aid. Secondly, not all parents want to send their children to boarding school, especially at an early age. Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such a tense and disciplined (守纪律的) environment. They stress，however, that their main aim is to turn out “well-rounded and well—balanced individual.”

【题目】When Barbra Streisand discovered in 2003 that a photograph of her California beach house was among 12,000 photos on the Internet as part of a collection by photographer Kenneth Adelman, she did what any famous person would do: hit him with a $50 million lawsuit. But in trying to hold back the images, she caused a different outcome. Her legal actions led to almost half a million people visiting the website, viewing and copying the photos within a month.

Ever since then, the effect of letting public know something you are trying to keep secret has been called the “Streisand effect”. The problem for anyone trying to suppress information is that the Internet is the world’s biggest and most efficient copying machine. Put a document on to a connected machine and it will spread. So when you want to be famous, you can’t, but if you find yourself in the spotlight and want to erase yourself, you cannot.

There is no shortage of examples of the Streisand effect. Nine-year-old Martha Payne created a simple blog, posting the meals her school served. She took a photo of what was barely a filling meal by anyone’s standards. With the photo, she filled a comment, “Now Dad understands why I am hungry when I get home.” The thing did not go too far, until the local authority banned little Martha from doing that again. Martha posted a supposedly final post called “Goodbye”, explaining everything. Once the media found this out, things went from bad to worse for the authority. Now the blog has more than 9.5 million page views. Martha has even expanded her blog by including pictures of school meals taken by other kids from all over the world, like Germany and Japan.

We can find similar examples throughout history, to be frank. Man has experienced the Streisand effect ever since the birth of mass communication. Why does it exist? Every time you are told not to see what’s in the secret shiny box wrapped in gift paper, you’re going to do everything in your power to do exactly that! Just realizing that knowing something about someone is harmful to their status, we will want to know that piece of information. This is exactly the human nature. This is what lawyers and authorities should be familiar with. Unfortunately, a few of them fail to grasp it.

【1】The underlined word “suppress” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A. give away B. look into

C. cover up D. search for

【2】What speeded up the spread of Martha’s story?

A. Parents’ complaints.

B. The authority’s order.

C. The photos of other kids.

D. Supporting from the school.

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The root of Streisand effect.

B. The influence of Streisand effect.

C. People’s reaction to Streisand effect.

D. Historical examples of Streisand effect.

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Streisand effect benefits most famous people.

B. It’s not a good idea to argue against authorities.

C. The ban on something may have opposite effect.

D. Turning to the law is a perfct way to get one out of trouble.
