14.[1]Many American fathers have got gifts from their families in honor of Father's Day.Some men may be hoping for a shiny new grill (烤架) to bring smoky,fiery (燃烧的) happiness to cooking outdoors.More than half of Americans say they cook outdoors throughout the year.But the warmer months bring more people outside.So this is a good time for food safety expert to make their efforts to educate the public.
[2]Disease-control officials say that about one in six Americans get sick from food each year.130,000 have to go to a hospital for food poisoning.And 3,000 die.Health officials say these numbers usually increase during this time of year as more Americans cook and eat outdoors.
[3]The United States Department of agriculture started its Meat and Poultry Hotline in 1985.The Meat and Poultry Hotline has expanded its programs to include Spanish language services.Also,people can ask questions through email and live chats and get information on social media sites.
[4]The hotline receives about 70,000 telephone calls a year from people with food safety questions.They teach consumers every day,one to one,about how to handle food safely and to prevent food-related illness.In addition,they also take calls that are related to complaints about food products that have led to foods being recalled,and that has probably saved lives.
[5]One of the Hotline workers said,"One of the most important things is to make sure your meat is fully cooked.It's not recommended that anybody be having a rare hamburger when they are cooking out in the summer.If you're cooking eggs,make sure the yolks (蛋黄) are fresh.And drinking or eating things that contain uncooked eggs is surely not a good idea."

B.Class atmosphere matters a lot in learning
C.Monitoring activities is one of the main tasks of teachers
D.How to evaluate student performance
E.Group work needs organizing properly
F.Communication skills play a big role in language learning

Both instructors and learners can get benefits from the following learning strategies as long as they are properly made use of in language learning.
61.F.
The information presented in this section focuses on specific conversation,discussion,or presentation skills.The activities arc generally self-explanatory,with students expressing opinions,making decisions,solving problems,planning presentations,and so on.Engaged in these activities,students have the possibility of communicating with each other in class.This section also includes lists of expressions used to illustrate different language functions,such as agreeing,disagreeing,and asking for clarity in order to help students expand their knowledge of English.
62.B.
in a speaking or listening course,students'anxieties can affect their learning.For this reason,it is important to establish a friendly,relaxed classroom environment.It may help students 10 think of the classroom as a laboratory where they can experiment and take risks with the language.In such circumstances,students should realize that errors are a natural and expected part of learning a language.In addition,one of the goals of this pan is to encourage students to examine their awn opinions and values while at the same time showing respect for the opinions and values of others.
63.E.
Many of the activities in this section involve the students'cooperating work in class.Generally,such an activity taken up by four members seem to work the best.Groups of three or five members may also be effective,depending on the activity.The first unit includes guidelines for organizing group work,with students taking on the following roles:leader,reader,summarizer,reporter,and observer(if necessary).Organizing all activities in this way makes the course truly learner-centered since students must take fall responsibility for carrying out each activity.As for seating,group members should arrange their seats or chairs in a small circle to encourage interaction.
64.C.
Being a teacher,in the course of group activities,you should circulate from group to group,which helps ensure that students are on task and are using English.While you should not participate in pair or group activities,you need to stay involved in what the students are doing.One important reason to circulate during activities is to keep track of the kinds of problems students have,such as grammatical accuracy,fluency,word choice,pronunciation and intonation discussion strategies,etc.However,it is generally not effective to correct students'errors when they arc involved in an activity The most practical way to deal with communication problems is to make notes of what you observe as you arc circulating.You can then use this information to provide feedback after the activity or to develop future lessons.
65.D.
At the beginning of the course,when they need to build up their confidence,students benefit most from encouragement and positive comment.If possible,you'd rather not grade the students fust few efforts at speaking in a group or to the class.Many students suffer such anxiety in speaking situations that any criticism at this stage can have the opposite effects.Commenting on students'work does not necessarily mean grading them on the scene Even if the programs requires formal grades,you should try to put off assigning grades until later in the term.
10.I have only once been in trouble with the law.The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time,but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary (随意的) circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent (随后的) fate in court.
It happened in February about twelve years ago.I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October.I was still living at home at the time.
One morning I was in Richmond,a suburb of London near where I lived.I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling.As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry,I was taking my time,looking in shop windows,strolling in the park,and sometimes just stopping and looking around me.It must have been this obvious ainilessness that led to my downfall.
It was about half past eleven when it happened.I was just walking out of the local library,having unsuccessfully sought employment there,when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me.I thought he was going to ask me the time.Instead,he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me.At first I thought it was some kind of joke.
But then another policeman appeared,this time in uniform,and I was left in no doubt.
'But what for?"I asked.
‘Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,'he said.
‘What offence?'I asked.
'Theft,'he said.
'Theft of what?'I asked.
'Milk bottles,'he said,and with a perfectly straight face too!
'Oh,'I said.
It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area,particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.
Then I made my big mistake.At the time I was nineteen,had long untidy hair,and regarded myself as pan of the sixties''youth counterculture'.As a result,I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident,so I said,'How long have you been following me?in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage.I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation,and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable (品行不端的) character.
    A few minutes later a police car arrived.
'Get in the back,'they said.'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them.'
    They got in on either side of me.It wasn't funny any more.
    At the police station they questioned me for several hours.I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation.When they asked me what I had been doing,I told them I'd been looking for a job.'Aha,'I could see them thinking,'unemployed'.
Eventually,I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates'Court the following Monday.Then they let me go.
I wanted to conduct my own defense in court,but as soon as my father found out what had happened,he hired a very good solicitor (律师).We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses,including my English teacher from school as a character witness.But he was never called on to give evidence.My'trial'didn't get that far.The magistrate (法官) dismissed the case after fifteen minutes.1 was free.The poor police had never stood a chance.The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.
And so I do not have a criminal record.But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on.I had the'right'accent,respectable middle-class parents in court,reliable witnesses,and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor.Given the obscure nature of the charge.I feel sure that if I had come from a different background,and had really been unemployed,there is every chance that I would have been found guilty.While asking for costs to be awarded,my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved (回转) around the fact that I had a'brilliant academic record'.
Meanwhile,just outside the courtroom,one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police.'You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,'he said to me reproachfully (责备地).
What did he mean?Probably that I should have looked outraged (暴怒)and said something like,'Look here,do you know who you're talking to?I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record.How dare you arrest me!'Then they,probably,would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps,and let me on my way.

9.The bedroom door opened and a light went on,signaling an end to nap time.The toddle(初学走路的婴儿),sleepy-eyed,clambered to a swinging stand in his crib.He smiled,reached out to his father,and uttered what is fast becoming the cry of his generation:"iPhone!"
    Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones,so the device is now the Toy of Choice for many 1-,2-and 3-year-olds.The phenomenon is attracting the attention and concern of some childhood development specialists.
Natasha Sykes,a mother of two in Atlanta,remembers the first time her daughter,Kelsey,now 3 but then barely 2 years old,held her husband's iPhone."She pressed the button and it lit up.I just remember her eyes.It was like'Whoa!'"The parents were charmed by their daughter's fascination.But then,said Ms.Sykes (herself a Black Berry user),"She got serious about the phone."Kelsey would ask for it.Then she'd cry for it."It was like she'd always want the phone,"Ms.Sykes said.
Apple,the iPhone's designer and manufacturer,has built its success on machines so user-friendly that even technologically blinded adults can figure out how to work them,so it makes sense that sophisticated children would follow.Tap a picture on the screen and something happens.What could be more fun?
The sleepy-eyed toddler who called for the iPhone is one of hundreds of iPhone-loving toddlers whose parents are often proud of their offspring's ability to slide fat fingers across the gadget's screen and pull up photographs of their choice.
Many iPhone apps on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers,many of them labeled"educational,"such as Toddler Teasers:Shapes,which asks the child to tap a circle or square or triangle; and Pocket Zoo,which streams live video of animals at zoos around the world.
Along with fears about dropping and damage,however,many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilty.They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool,or a passive amusement like television.The American Academy of Pediatrics is continually reassessing its guidelines to address new forms of"screen time."Dr.Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe,a member of the academy's council,said,"We always try to throw in the latest technology,but the cellphone industry is becoming so complex that we always come back to the table and wonder-Should we have a specific guideline forthem?"
Tovah P.Klein,the director of a research center for Toddler Development worries that fixation on the iPhone screen every time a child is out with parents will limit the child's ability to experience the wider world.
As with TV in earlier generations,the world is increasingly divided into those parents who do allow iPhone use and those who don't.A recent post on UrbanBaby.com,asked if anyone had found that their child was more interested in playing with their iPhone than with real toys.The Don't mothers said on the Website:"We don't let our toddler touch our iPhones…it takes away from creative play.""Please…just say no.It is not too hard to distract a toddler with,say…a book."
Kathy Hirsh-Pasek,a psychology professor who specializes in early language development,sides with the Don'ts.Research shows that children learn best through activities that help them adapt to the particular situation at hand and interacting with a screen doesn't qualify,she said.
Still,Dr.Hirsh-Pasek,struck on a recent visit to New York City by how many parents were handing over their iPhones to their little children in tha subway,said she understands the impulse (冲动)."This is a magical phone,"she said."I must admit I'm addicted to this phone."

41.The first paragraph in the passage intends toC.
A.get us to know a cute sleepy-eyed child in a family
B.show us how harmful the iPhone is
C.lead us to the topic of the toddlers'iPhone-addict

8.A.When did you realize you wanted to be a singer?
B.What do you think of the TV shows you did while in America?
C.What does your new single"Chasing pavements"actually mean?
D.What unique ways do you employ to write these"sad love songs"?
E.Has winning the award added to the pressure you are experiencing?
F.You studied at the Brit School.Why do you think if S produced so many stars in recent years?
61.B
Yeah,I did"Letterman"and"The Today Show".I have no idea what they were equal to because obviously we don't have them here.I like the two shows which are like"Imagine GMTV"but on a much bigger scale.It was live and there were about 50 million people watching,so I literally express myself!"Letterman"was pre-recorded so I wasn't quite nervous,but I forgot that during my performance.I got halfway through the song and couldn't remember whether it was live or not.
62.A
Obviously when I was little,but mainly from when I was 16 onwards.I first remember singing when I was really little,probably when I was about six.I did a Spice Girls tribute in my room for my family.And then I went to study at the Brit School,the performing arts school in Croydon.To be honest,I really enjoyed my time there,where I did actual lessons,but they didn't force anything onto you.They just aimed to help you develop.They nurtured you,you know.
63.F
I was thinking about this the other day,because,before this year,the Brit School didn't actually produce anyone.All this money was being pumped into it,and nobody was coming out of it and doing well,so I think they were getting a bit worried.I think the Brit School's produced loads of great people that nobody knows yet,but off the back of Amy Winehouse,who earned six nominations,including Best New Artist,Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her hit"Rehab"and Album of the Year for"Back to Black",it's been getting more support.Suddenly all these great girls came forward in this great outburst of talent--I think ifs just luck and timing,to be honest..
64.D
In the past years I've tried to sit down and think"Right,this is what Fm going to write about",but I can't because you can't force it.AU my songs are a bit sad and full of drama because when Fm happy I haven't got time to write songs,you know.When I've had my heart broken,I end up feeling sorry for myself and writing songs."Therefore,there wasn't really a specific process to it.I just sort of happen to sit and wait patiently until I'm ready to write the record.I can't really plan it very well.If I try to plan,it never works out well.
65.C
It doesn't really make sense,does it?"Chasing Pavements"is about chasing a boy-even if you know something's going to go wrong,you really want it to go right,so you just don't give up.I can't write other people's drama,and I can't glamorize a microwave or anything like that,so I end up writing songs about things I've experienced.Then,I got a whole album's worth of songs out of them!

6.In recent years in America,the mandatory sentencing(强制判刑) movement has really changed the US prison size.The mandatory sentencing movement typically stated the minimum number of prison years for certain crimes people committed.It swept the United States in the 1970s,driving the state prison population up from less than 200,000to about 1.4million today and made prisoning budgets the second-fastest-growing state expense,only second to Medic-aid.But the current sentencing reforms in a growing number of states are starting to reverse that trend-causing the prison population to decline by about 3.8percent since 2009.
Central to the state reforms is a relatively new and more complicated way of information analysis about the law-breaker-including criminal history,drug abuse(滥用) and instances of anti-social behavior-to assess the likelihood of that individual's committing a new crime.And by examining data,the states can revise policies to discourage them from going back to prison.
Many states have found that many people go back to prison not for committing new crimes but for technical mild violations(违反),like failing drug tests or abnormal behaviors due to mental problems.With that knowledge,these states have moved to less costly and more effective actions to replace jail stay.Today,they tend more to send these people for community service.
Some states are also jumping at what is known as the"justice reinvestment"approach,under which they channel significant sums of money into the existing programs on drug treatment and mental health,two main issues behind crimes for many law-breakers.
Despite the advantages of a risk-assessment approach,some states are still flying blind mainly because they don't have the resources to gather data.Moreover,a study has noted,handling high-risk and low-risk criminals in the same way is a big mistake,as"low risk individuals have an increased likelihood of committing crimes again when they receive treatment or services in the same programs as medium-and high-risk individuals."

5.In North America,the Colorado(科罗拉多)River is a legend.It has sustained generations of people and many generations of wildlife.Once free,the Colorado now has many dams along its 1,450miles.Its life-giving water is divided up among seven U.S.states according to several agreements,which has caused the heaviest hit on the eco-balance of the river as no region would lose advantages compared with neighbours in the use of the river,thus inappropriate use was well expected.
The Colorado once supported a vast delta(三角洲)where it met the Gulf of California.Today the lush plantations are just memories,displaced by invasive species capable of surviving in soils poisoned by salt.The drying of the delta has huge effect on the local people.As many as 5,000people were living in the delta 400years ago.Today,about 300remain.There is a delta culture at risk of extinction,partly owing to outside job opportunities and marital mobility.However,the worsening living environment caused partly by horrible grab of the waters of the Colorado River has beaten all the other reasons.
It's easy to blame farmers along the Colorado for drawing waters from its channel to water their crops or quench the thirst of their cows.They are immediate consumers of water from the Colorado,but the truth is that we,ordinary American consumers,are all at least partially responsible.Many of us have bought products that come from the region,whether in the form of paper,hamburgers,or electronics.We live in an increasingly connected world,in which we take up"virtual water"in the form of products and even services.In the U.S.,we use twice as much water per person as the global average.
Though it may seem to work in the short term,we can barely fix the Colorado by piping water from another place.But change is urgent.Use a water calculator to see how much water you use every day.Pay special attention to saving every drop of water hidden in your diet and wardrobe.And keep away from life styles that might waste water.In all,try to form a water-efficient habit.
Besides,technology improvement will also be explored to make change happen in the rescue efforts.These technologies include methods to increase farming efficiency,and ways to replace invasive,water-sucking plants with native species.
