7.Hi guys!I'm Lucy the Ladybird and while I'm very much of a lady,I'm not actually a bird but a glowing red beetle(甲虫) with decorative black spots.
    I'm a friendly little bug,to be honest,and simply like to be close with my pals as long as they handle me very gently.I don't bite humans but I do sink my teeth into mean beasts like aphids (蚜虫) which,unlike me,are very harmful to all the plants.I milk the aphids just like people do with cows and I milk them dry of all the sap (汁) they have got from your poor plants.I'm a real gardeners'friend and love helping out around the place by pollinating flowers,tidying up plants'fallen leaves and helping to turn them into nice rich fertilizer to feed everything both above and below the soil,and naturally,being so attractive to look at,we are perfect living garden decorations.
   One thing I can not tolerate is all that poisonous pollution from vehicles,garbage burning and other un-environmentally friendly acts that occur in the cities every single minute of the day and night.Pollution of any kind really chokes me to death,so these days,I only live in clean countryside areas,particularly cool ones where it rains and everything grows fresh and green from spring right through to autumn.In winter,when the weather is too cold for me to bear,then I find a nice place to sleep until the snow has gone and I can come back out to play.
   Oh!I almost forgot to tell you that although I am not a bird I do have wings and can fly for short distances.So if you pick me up and let me run up and down your hands and arms,then please don't frighten me by screaming if I suddenly secede to take off!

15.Are you a bookworm?Is your head stuck in a book for long?If so,that's a good thing.There are many benefits to reading.Getting into a good novel improves our literacy(读写能力).But who or what encourages us to pick up a book and start reading?
    Of course,when we are young,our parents and teachers inspire us by introducing us to  characters that we love-or love to hate.And there are the authors-the people who invent and write about these characters.Good writing can really catch our imagination.
    One modern-day children's author is J.K.Rowling,who's known for her books about the wizard,Harry Potter.Last year she was named as a‘literacy hero'for her part in improving people's love of reading.The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for"turning a generation of children into readers."
    The Trust also honoured schoolchildren,a librarian and teachers for their effort in trying to get people to read.The actor,Henry Winkler,who has dyslexia(阅读障碍),Was also named for the books he has written about a boy with learning difficulties.
    Reading books is more than an enjoyable pastime;it can also help people in difficult circumstances.The author Pat Winslow worked as a writer in prisons and found reading and discussing stories helped prisoners reflect on their patterns of behaviour.She says"Very often we would have discussions about the moral compass of a character,what was the motivation of
somebody,why did they behave that way?"
    Today I like to read factual books such as biographies,where you get an insight into the lives of important and well-known people.I also enjoy looking at travel books and learning about journeys and new destinations.It's a good substitute if you can't visit in person.
    But the main benefit of reading is the improvement it brings to our literacy.The more we do it,the better we get and who knows-one day you may become the next Tolstoy,Jackie  Collins or even William Shakespeare.

2.American high school students are terrible writers,and one education reform group thinks it  has an answer:robots.Or,more accurately,robot-readers-computers programmed to scan  student essays andspit out a grade.
      Mark Shermis,professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron,is helping  to hold a contest,set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ( WFHF),that promises  $ IOO,OOO in prize money to programmers who write the best automated grading software."If  you're a high school teacher and you give a writing task,you're walking home with 150 essays,"Shermis  said."You're going to need some help."
      Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s,but computers back then were  not up to the task.In the late 1990s,as technology improved,several textbook and testing  companies jumped into the field.Today,computers are used to grade essays on South Dakota's  student writing assessments and a handful of other exams,including the TOEFL test of English fluency,taken by foreign students.
     The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as English teachers-only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink.Automated essay scoring is"objective,"Shermis said."And it can be done immediately.If students finish an essay at l0 pm,they get a result at  10:0l pm."
     Take,for instance,the  Intelligent  Essay  Assessor,a  web-based  tool  marketed  by  Pearson Education,Inc.Within seconds it can analyze an essay for spelling,grammar,organization,and help students to make revisions.The program scans for key words and analyzes semantic  (语义 的) patterns,and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text much the same as a human reader.

12.Homework will not be a concern for pupils attending a pioneering new secondary school in Norfolk.Instead,the  l,100 children will stay longer at school,doing extra study at school as part of the extended (延长的) school day,which could last until about 5 pm.
     Rather than setting homework that pupils could struggle with at home,where there may be limited access to computers,they will do that as independent study in the day.When they go home they should enjoy quality family time.That has been really well received by parents who respect the fact that family time will be family time.But the school would still expect youngsters to study at home ahead of important exams.
     Independent learning at school would ensure equality because kids who get help with homework from parents might rely on others too much.
     Peter Devonish.a teacher at the school,said,"Having the children at school a bit longer to strengthen their learning is a really good idea,because they can have their time with the family."But he warned."A disadvantage is that our school is in the countryside,which means it's not so perfect to get children home at that time."
     Mr.Devonish said they also set pupils project-based homework,such as looking at an energy-efficient house,which allowed them to combine independent study with working with their parents.
     Craig Morrison,another teacher,said,"A large problem with homework has been that not enough is done with it.With homework.a lot of effort can go into it,so it's about celebrating what children do rather than processing it in terms of marking it and handing it back."
56.How will students spend their longer days at school?C
A.They will prepare their lessons for exams.
B.They will do homework with their teachers.
C.They will study all by themselves.
D.They will do homework on computers.
57.Why is the new idea well accepted by some parents?B
A.Because it helps kids with their homework.
B.Because kids will enjoy quality family time.
C.Because kids will be educated equally at school.
D.Because it can make houses more energy-efficient.
58.What is Mr.Devonish worried about?D
A.The students may dislike the idea.
B.No staff will agree to stay until 5:30 p.m.
C.More teachers will be needed.
D.The students may get home late.
59.According to Mr.Morrison,the'problem with homework isA.
A.what effort children make to do it
B.how teachers mark it and return it

19.Observational Learning:To See Is to Know
A group of psychologists,led by Albert Bandura,developed social learning theory,which emphasizes the fact that much learning occurs in a social context.This kind of learning,which results simply from observing and imitating the behaviors of others,is called observational learning.Observational learning helps people acquire proper behaviors in their families and cultures:By watching others,we learn how to greet people,eat,laugh and tell jokes.Do you still remember your first few days in senior grade one?By watching others,you learned how people talked to each other,what clothes were"fashionable,"and how to interact with instructors.
The people from whom you learn new behaviors through observing function as models,presenting a behavior to be imitated.With modeling,you observe others'behaviors,and then none,some,or all of these behaviors may be learned and repeated,or modified.In one of Bandura's classic studies,children were divided into three groups:One group watched an adult beating up a Bobo doll,one group watched an adult ignoring the Bobo doll,and the third didn't see an adult at all.After being mildly frustrated by being placed in a room with toys,but not being allowed to play with some of them,all of the children were then placed in another room with a variety of toys,including a Bobo doll.Children in the first group tended to imitate what they had seen,mistreating the doll (and inventing new ways to abuse it) and being aggressive with the other toys in the room.
Researchers have discovered that several characteristics of models can make learning through observation more effective.Not surprisingly,the more you pay attention to the model,the more you learn.You are more likely to pay attention if the model is an expert,is good looking,has high status,or is socially powerful.Second,by watching others,we learn about what behaviors are appropriate for people like ourselves,so models who are seen as similar are more readily imitated.All students need to see successful,capable models who look and sound like them.
Then,as teachers,how can you apply observational learning?Here are a few guidelines.Above all,model the behaviors and attitudes you desire your students to learn.For example,show enthusiasm for the subject you teach.Be willing to demonstrate both the mental and the physical tasks you expect the students to perform.Second,use peers,especially class leaders,as models.For example,in group work,pair students who do well with those who are having difficulties.Third,you may seek the help of class leaders in modeling behaviors.Examples include letting high-status students lead an activity when you need class cooperation or when students are likely to be reluctant at first.
Observational Learning:To See Is to Know
16.California has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative."Starting this fall with high school math and science,we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks."That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June,talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online.He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.
California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles.Digital ones can offer the latest information.They lighten the load of school bags.They save paper and trees,and make learning more fun and interactive.And above all,he said,they help schools with their finances.
The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems.More than six million students attend California public schools.
Earlier this year,California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools.These had to meet at least 90% of the state's learning requirements.Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them.Six of the ten were published by the CK 12 Foundation,a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years.The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them.The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family.
California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks.Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves.Susan Martimo,a California Department of Education official,says she does not expect widespread use right away.Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them,but only in addition to their traditional books.
School administrators point out that the texts may be free online,but students need a way to access them.Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader.Schools could print out copies,but that would not help the environment.Also,there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively.

36.The Digital Textbook InitiativeD.
A.will probably take effect in six years
B.covers all the high school subjects
C.has been approved by all states
D.is advocated by California state governor
37.Digital textbooks are most meaningful in that they are toA.
A.help save money                  
B.benefit the environment
C.provide interesting materials    
D.reduce students'heavy burden
38.Which of the following is TRUE of the CK 12 Foundation?D
A.It publishes all the books for students free of charge                   
B.It provides money to write and edit all the textbooks in the USA
C.It is organized and supported by Khosla Family                   
D.It offers digital math and science materials for high schools
39.According to Susan Martimo,digital textbooks willC.
A.come into fashion from now on
B.soon replace traditional ones
C.first be adopted by well-equipped schools
D.surely be approved by school districts
40.It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatB.
A.schools are reluctant to print out copies
B.the program is not easy to carry out
C.students have no access to the computers
D.teachers fail to use the textbooks effectively.
