Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher，no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.

Above all, they knew how to use their brains.

1.The subject which is not spoken of in the article is _____

A. maths B. history

C. psychology D. physics

2.The teacher’s job is to teach ___________.

A. everything the students want to know

B. the students everything that they know

C. the students some facts of formulas

D. the students how to learn

3.Einstein, Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because_____.

A. they learned a lot at school.

B. they knew how to learn new things outside class by themselves.

C. they were so useful.

D. they went to college and learned form professors.

4.From the passage we know that if we want to be successful , we should _______.

A. only learn more at school

B. needn’t go to school

C. only learn science subjects

D. learn to learn at school and learn more outside school

One of the many great lines in the movie Apollo 13 came from Ed Harris, who played NASA Director of Operations, Gene Kranz. The famous line was, “Gentleman, failure is not an option.” He said the words because he had a clear purpose that the three astronauts trapped in space must be sent home safely. The driving force behind their seeking of a solution was motivated by a true purpose.

Here is the simple principle. If you have a big enough ‘why’ in life, you will always figure out the ‘how.’ A person without a purpose in life is like a boat without a rudder, floating aimlessly without a direction and going nowhere. In all walks of life, when referring to someone’s success, we often hear the words “focus and determination”. But Merriam Webster defines the word “purpose” as the reason why something is done, a feeling of being determined to achieve an outcome. There are many talented and intelligent people in the world that are unsuccessful because they lack direction. I believe that our life depends on our purpose. Whether you’re single or in a team, having a purpose allows you to start, evaluate, and improve your talents or abilities helps you find your path in life and achieve your success finally.

A friend of mine once told me that the most motivating speech he had ever heard was just three short words. It came from his wife when she said, “Honey I’m pregnant.” He said those few words instantly motivated him because he now had a big “why” in his life, a purpose to work hard to support his family. In fact, when your “why” gets bigger, you get better because you stop holding back and you’ll go all out. It’s why you often hear about some great people perform superhuman actions when failure is not an option!

1.What does the underlined word “rudder” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Something that gets the boat started

B. Something that makes the boat float

C. The reason for which the boat is built

D. Something that directs the boat to a certain place.

2.What is the most important thing for success according to Merriam Webster?

A. Talent B. Purpose

C. Determination D. Intelligence

3.The author gives his friend’s example to show________.

A. why words can motivate people easily

B. that family love is very important in our daily life

C. that a purpose can make people try their best

D. how people can get success more easily

4.What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

A. To be successful person B. To have a big “Why” in life

C. To make a right choice D. To get rid of failure

A new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.

Nobody likes doing the dishes, but it turns out that doing this task might pay off in an unexpected way. According to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics, washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies (过敏).

Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8. They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allergies.

Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand. So why would kids who eat with slightly dirtier plates be better when it comes to preventing allergies? One explanation is based on a theory known as the “hygiene hypothesis,” which says the reason why kids develop allergies is that their environment is actually too clean. Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting germs like viruses and bacteria. But when you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen(花粉) or certain foods.

Being exposed to germs, especially early in life is good training for the immune system, says the lead author of the study, Dr. Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden. “You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”

This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.

1.What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand?

A. Hand-washed dishes are cleaner than those washed by machine.

B. Washing dishes by hand is easier than washing by machine

C. Washing dishes by hand costs less time than washing by machine

D. Washing dishes by hand might reduce the chance of developing allergies

2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. bacteria B. germs

C. the immune system D. allergy

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Using a dishwasher can prevent us from having allergies.

B. Exposure to germs early in life may improve kids’ immune system.

C. Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.

D. Children should use dirty plates when they have meals.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The clean environment accounts for kids’ developing allergies.

B. Whether parents should wash dishes by hand or use a dishwasher.

C. Washing dishes by hand may prevent kids from getting allergies.

D. What “hygiene hypothesis” is and how our immune system works.

“I’m the smartest kid in class.” We all want our kids to be self-confident, but unrealistic perception(认知) of their academic abilities, a new study finds, damage a child’s relationship with others in the classroom: The more one student feels unrealistically superior(更好的) to another, the less the two students like each other.

Katrin Rentzsch of Bamberg University in Germany first became interested in the effects of such self-perception when she was studying how people became labeled as nerds(书呆子). “I really got interested in the question of whether it’s OK to boast(吹嘘) about achievements,” she says.

This line of thinking led her towards something psychologists call “self-enhancement” －when a person feels unrealistically superior to someone else. So Rentzsch and her colleague Michela Schroder-Abe decided to take a closer look at how such self-enhancement affects relationships, so they turned to the eighth-grade classroom, somewhere they could measure differences between actual academic performance, and social popularity. The 358 students came from 20 eighth-grade classes in schools in southeast Germany.

The researchers asked each student to rate their classmates, in terms of their likability and of their feelings of academic superiority. They then compared those ratings with the students’ grades in math, physics, German and English. Importantly, they conducted the analysis at two different social levels: “habitual”－the way people act in general, and “relationship”－the way someone acts around a specific individual.

In future work, Rentzsch would like to look at these effects on adults, perhaps specifically in team work. She’s also interested in self-enhancement beyond academic achievements, for example physical attractiveness. And another question to explore is why students overestimate their academic abilities. Perhaps it is because of too much praise from their parents or teachers.

1.According to paragraph 1, what should a student do to be more popular in class?

A. Try to love other students.

B. Share with others his achievements.

C. Think highly of others’ academic abilities.

D. Have a correct view of his academic abilities.

2.What was each student required to do during the study?

A. Analyze their relationships with others.

B. Compare themselves with the others.

C. Make assessments about each other.

D. Share their academic performance.

3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .

A. students’ academic abilities.

B. students’ desire to be praised.

C. students’ difficulty in exploration.

D. students’ overestimation of their academic abilities.

4.What would Rentzsch study in the future?

A. The effect of self-enhancement on students.

B. The influence of self-enhancement on adults.

C. The cause of people’s physical attractiveness.

D. The ways of making academic achievements.

Third-Culture Kids

Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!

The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 1. About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.

2. In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 3. While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.

For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 4. She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.

While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.5.

As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.

A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.

B. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.

C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.

D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.

E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.

F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.

G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents 1.(try) everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic school.

After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on 2. face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. 3., he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished 4. (eat), he went back to his room, without a word. 5. no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time day after day while the mother tried to understand 6. was happening.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card, 7. he quietly put on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it. To her surprise, little Tommy got 8. A in math. She could no longer hold her 9. (curious). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?”

Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man 10. (nail) the plus sign, I knew they weren’t joking.”
