Finding the right school for your child is a process. You will want to read about the school, talk to any friends who are involved in the school and, most important of all, visit the school.

The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet. We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure(小册子), the fee structure and an application. The packet should answer most of your general questions about the school.

In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School, you should come for an Admission Tour, which includes a personal meeting focusing on your child, a tour of the building and the classrooms, and a discussion of the curriculum(课程).

This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three-year-old one. Every school has a different “school climate.” If you visit two or three schools, you will notice that each “feels” different. You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not.

●The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds.

●Children must be three years old by August 31st.

●We also have major points of entry from grade six to grade nine. At each of these levels, we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades.

In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers, which are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.

The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized, which will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21^st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.

According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.

Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. The car will automatically (自动的) speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.

By 2020. Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. And by 2030, cars will travel in convoy, linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected to the car in front, just like a train. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount of fuel.” says Davis. ‘‘But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”

We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers_______.

A. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industry

B. consider the predictions seriously

C. do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2030

D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production

Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2030?

A. The car will speed up out of control.

B. We will own as many cars as we want.

C. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones.

D. All cars will be driven by computers.

The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is________.

A. sidelong         B. in line    

C. side by side         D. shoulder to shoulder

What will happen if cars are joined to each other electronically in 2020?

A. There will be less pollution caused by car.

B. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.

C. The weather condition will not have effect On motorists.

D. All trains will burn less fuel than present.

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them．Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment．You only have to share your children’s curiosity．Firstly, listen to their questions．I once visited a classroom of seven－year－olds to talk about science as a job．The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job．When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence．Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”

       After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper （蚱蜢） eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache．Why?”

       This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours．

       Secondly, give them time to think．Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think．When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers．

       Thirdly, watch your language．Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”．These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior．But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over．Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas．

       Never push a child to “Think”．It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to．What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance．The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement．

       Lastly, show; don’t tell．Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program．Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass, and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner．Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop．

According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ______．

       A．ask them to answer quickly

       B．wait for one or two seconds after a question

       C．tell them to answer the next day

       D．wait at least for three seconds after a question

In which of the following paragraph（s） does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?

       A．The second and third．   B．The fourth and fifth．

       C．The fifth and sixth．       D．The seventh．

In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by

       A．any questions                   B．any problems

       C．questions from textbooks      D．any number of questions?

The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children’s curiosity EXCEPT that adults should ______．

       A．tell their children stories instead of reciting facts

       B．offer their children chances to see things for themselves

       C．be patient enough when their children answer questions

       D．encourage their children to ask questions of their own
