The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests, who were a father and daughter, and the cover on the cup. Apparently thinking of something, he hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos(热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a cupboard opening.

They remained sitting in the sitting room, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the sitting room. Something was hopelessly broken.

It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girl looked over her shoulder, shocked, staring. It was mysterious. Neither of them touched it, not even a bit. True, it hadn’t stood steadily when their host placed in on the table, but it hadn’t fallen then.

The explosion caused the host to rush back. Gawking at the steaming floor, the host said, “It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter!”

The father started to say something. Then he said softly, “Sorry, I touched it and it fell.”

“It doesn’t matter,” said the host.

When they left the house, the daughter said, “Daddy, did you touch it?”

“No, but it stood so close to me.”

“But you did not touch it. I saw your reflection in the window glass.”

The father laughed. “What would you give as the cause of its fall?”

“The thermos fell by itself. The floor is not smooth. Daddy, why did you say that you…”

“That won’t do, girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. There are things which people accept less the more you defend. The truer the story you tell, the less true it sounds.”

The daughter was lost in silence for a while. Then she said, “Can you explain it only in this way?”

“Only in this way,” her father said.

1.Which statement is a possible theme of this story?

A. People should take the blame for what they didn’t do.

B. People rarely tell the truth.

C. If you defend yourself, people will believe you.

D. You can’t always make people believe the truth.

2.The underlined phrase “Gawking at” probably means ___________.

A. staring at with anger

B. looking at curious

C, looking at in a dull way

D. glancing at hopelessly

3.It can be inferred from the story that the father____________.

A. didn’t know the host well

B. didn’t think the host would believe the truth

C. was sorry that he told the truth

D. felt satisfied that he didn’t tell the truh

4.From the story we know that the daughter ___________ .

A. thought her father should tell the truth

B. didn’t know why the thermos fell

A Scottish university is considering allowing students to use their own computers in exams. Edinburgh University already has the equipment to allow a small number of students to use computers during exams. Senior officials at Edinburgh University say that it is unfair to expect students to use pens and paper in exams when the majority of their coursework is done on computers. Undergraduates at the School of Divinity have the choice of using computers with their final answers being collected on a USB stick, but the take-up stands at less than 10 per cent.

Dai Hounsell, professor of higher education at the university, said, “We’ve got to look at alternatives to the handwritten exam. Looking ahead ten years from now, I’m sure there will not be handwritten answers any longer in the exam of certain subjects, but how we get there from here isn’t easy. The plan doesn’t apply so much to science and engineering subjects where students have to use charts and mathematical formulae（公式）. There isn’t technology at the moment to allow them to do that on a computer.” He adds that the approval of students is the key before anything is carried out. He also said, “We don’t want to put students’ future at risk by experimenting as there are technical things which can go wrong. There could be a power failure.”

Nora Mogey, head of Media and Learning Technology Service at the university, said, “A lot of students are not assured enough to make that step in such an important situation. They don’t feel they’ve had enough practice in typing on a computer with a time limit in a high-pressure environment. They think they do better with a pen in their hand than on a keyboard.”

Jennifer Cadiz, president at the National Union of Students in the UK, said, “It’s great to see universities recognizing that times have changed. Exams can be a really stressful time for students and it’s helpful to offer them a flexible（灵活的）way to complete exams.”

No other major Scottish universities have plans to follow in Edinburgh University’s footsteps and the Scottish Qualifications Authority says it has decided not to carry out the plan in its universities.

1.According to Para. 1, we know that in Edinburgh University _________.

A. computers are not allowed to be used during exams

B. students shouldn’t use their pens during exams

C. most coursework is done on computers

D. most students will use computers during exams

2.What’s Dai Hounsell’s attitude towards Edinburgh University’s new plan?

A. He opposes it.

B. He isn’t optimistic about it.

C. He is fond of it.

D. He thinks it necessary.

3.The underlined word “assured” in Para. 3 probably means “___________”.

A. confident B. ready

C. fortunate D. wealthy

4.We can infer from the passage that ____________.

A. other universities will try to carry out the challenging plan

B. universities shouldn’t make students stressful during exams

C. the use of computers in exams won’t spread widely in a short time

D. students should get ready to use computers in exams in future

 

The Hunan Satellite TV(HNTV) show “Where are we going, Dad?” is a big hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of people’s emotional resonance（共鸣）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.

The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.

In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.

It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going，Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.

1. In raising a child in modern society, parents should ________.

A. break down the barrier between children and teachers

B. keep their children at home to avoid socializing

C. play computer games with their children

D.balance well between family and career

2. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?

A.In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.

B. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.

C. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.

D. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.

3. Which one is the best title of the passage?

A. New problems in Modern Children’s Education

B. Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”

C. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids

D. Modern Education is Important

4. What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second paragraph?

A. Worried. B.Optimistic.

C. Indifferent. D. Proud.
