【题目】If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling(吹口哨)three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.

Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.

A. Stop now and then.

B. Go on shouting or whistling.

C. Shout over and over at the top of voice.

D. Shout or whistle three times once a while.

2If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then?

A. Give two gunshots. B. Shout louder.

C. Stop shouting. D. Make a house.

3If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do?

A. Go and find a brook.

B. Light a fire and make yourself some tea

C. Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you.

D. Find something to hold the water.

4What’s the best title for the passage?

B. How To Find Your Friends When You Are Lost In The Woods

C. What To Do If You Get Lost In A Forest

【题目】D

Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.

The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.

Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."

Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.

Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."

1The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Paragraph 1 probably means .

A. parents' expectation on children's health

B. parents' participation in children's education

C. parents' control over children's life

D. parents' plan for children's future

2What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?

A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.

B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.

C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.

D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework.

3The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .

A. help children realize the importance of schooling

B. set a specific life goal for their children

C. spend more time improving their own lives

D. take a more active part in school management

【题目】The 6yearold kid watched in silence as the man behind the desk,the headmaster of the school,shook his head more than once to his mother.

Minutes later,mother and son walked slowly out of the school,her right hand holding his little hand,her left holding an umbrella to shield(遮挡) both of them from the sun.“Where are we going now,mother?”asked the kid,looking up at her.“To another school,”was her gentle reply.For some reason,the little kid had not been accepted by the school,and she was taking him to another,to try to get him registered.That was more than 50 years ago.That woman was my mother;that little kid was me.

Fifty years later,the day after my mother had slipped into a coma(昏迷) from a stroke,I sat next to her,holding her hand,stroking it,watching her body heaved up and down as she breathed heavily,as if she was struggling with something.Her eyes were closed,her mouth opened.I whispered softly to her,“Mum,it’s okay.You have given us everything.You can let go now.No need to struggle anymore,Mum.”

A few days later,Mum died.At her bedside,I spent some time just looking at my mother,soaking in the finality of her death.There she was,my mother,motionless and lifeless.I took hold of her still warm but lifeless hand,holding it for the last time,recalling every piece of the precious moment we spent together.

I finally let go of her hand—lifeless,yet having given so much life to so many of us,and placed it next to her body.I found myself saying silently to her the only words that came to my mind,“Goodbye Mum,thank you for everything.”

Thank you,Mother,fornot giving up,so that I could go to school.Thank you for coaching me,for reading to me,for ironing my school uniforms,for combing my hair,for tying my shoe laces,for making sure I had a little handkerchief inside my pocket...

Rest in peace,Mother,you are still very much alive in us.Happy Mother’s Day.

【题目】An American woman Anna Jarvis was the first person to decide the mothers should have a holiday in their honor each year. Miss Jarvis started her campaign in 1906 in her home city Philadelphia. She wrote thousands of letters to congressmen(国会议员), city officials, teachers and newspaper publishers, proposing an official holiday for mothers. She traveled all over America, trying to get support for the idea. Her battle went on for years.

In 1914, the Congress declared the second Sunday in May each year as Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis wanted Mother's Day to be a simple event. She thought children could honor their mothers by spending some time with them as an act of love and respect. However, the holiday turned out to be a major event for department stores, flower shops and greetingcard industry, which Miss Jarvis didn't like.

Americans spend millions of dollars on gifts for their mothers on this day. Younger children often try to prepare and serve breakfast for their mothers. Fathers may offer to take care of children so that mothers can enjoy themselves. The holiday becomes an important time for family gathering.
