Nowadays,studying abroad is popular in China with many rich parents. They would rather send their children abroad to receive education in English-speaking countries than let them be educated in China.

As every coin has two sides,studying abroad is the same.There are advantages for people to attend schools abroad. In the first place,he can use English in his daily life to improve his English greatly,as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve English than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country,it is possible to make friends from all over the world. This is not only exciting on the social level,but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well. He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the best facilities available. In this way, he is able to widen his horizon and broaden his mind.

Of course,attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier.Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there. As a result,on arriving there,they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides,for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people,they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.

In conclusion,given an opportunity to attend a school abroad,one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.

1. List two advantages of studying abroad.

2. What is the most serious problem of studying abroad?

3. What’s the passage mainly about?

 

Harmless fun and bullying(欺负) separated by a very thin line.This line is crossed on a daily basis,without being known.This full extent of this line crossing isn’t often felt until much later.Blind eyes are often being turned,and the problem is becoming more and more serious.

Harmless fun occurs when nobody has hurt feelings and laughter follows.There is no harm in the fun,and all people can enjoy the joking.Bullying occurs when someone is looked down upon.Not every joke is funny,and sometimes we can cruelly hurt somebody without our knowledge.

The most difficult part of the line between harmless fun and bullying is the simple fact that everybody has their own line,and even it’s different from time to time,depending on a certain character.Everybody has their own limit of tolerance,and harmless fun that is close to bullying usually gather up the bottled emotions that are ready to break out.No matter how strong the friendships are,words can treat them apart from the root,destroying the very foundation that they have been built upon.

The key is that the line should never be crossed.Harmless fun has its time and place,since laughter is the best medicine for what worries you,but it should never be taken to the extreme,where someone is feeling down.

 The best possible way to ensure that you aren’t the one responsible for linecrossing is to think before you speak.We should first try to understand before we try to be understood.If the words you feel like saying to someone aren’t the words you would want to say to your parent,brother,child,or good friend,then chances are that you should think of something else to say.

Saying things behind someone else’s back is no good,either,because those words often find their target finally,and usually the comments have been misunderstood and the intention,while perhaps harmless,tends to turn towards bullying.

Humans might be the most highly-evolved species on the planet, but most animals possess skills we can only dream of having. Imagine how much electricity we could save if we could see in the dark the way cats do. Imagine leaping from tree to tree like a monkey. Giraffes, which are otherwise calm and good-natured, sleep only 4.6 hours a day.

We realized a long, long time ago that nature provides the best blueprint for invention. We’ve borrowed canals from beavers and reflectors from cat’s eyes. Although the words “bionics”(仿生学) became popular only after the 1960s, history shows that nature has always provided ideas on solving everyday problems. Our archives(档案) don’t go back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his bird-like flying machines, but we can take you to the late 19th century, where we applied those same principles for building our first practical airplanes.

To prepare for their flight at Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers studied the movements of pigeons to figure out how they stayed high up when they were heavier than air. Their success inspired scores of successors to improve on the airplane by studying various aspects of nature. One of Orville Wright’s pupils caught and stuffed seagulls to examine their wingspan. Meanwhile, two French inventors examined spinning sycamore(梧桐) seeds in an effort to apply those same motions, reversed, to a helicopter .

Some examples are more obvious than others. The outside of the airplane designed by the Wright brothers looks like a minimalistic(简单抽象艺术) structure. On the other hand, Barney Connett’s fish submarine actually looks like a fish.

Some bio-inspired concepts have yet to be invented. In the 1960s, the US Army commissioned several university professors to conduct research on the motor skills animals in hope of applying those same abilities to tanks. Tanks that run like horses or jump like grasshoppers(蚂蚱)-sounds shocking, doesn’t it? But imagine how life would change if we could achieve that.

1.“Cats”, “monkeys” and “giraffes” mentioned in paragraph 1 are examples to show______.

A. they are highly-evolved species as humans

B. animals have skills that humans do not possess

C. humans can learn animals’ skills

D. they are skillful in different ways

2.What happened after the Wright brothers’ success?

A. People carried out a systematic study on pigeons.

B. People studied more animals and plants to develop the airplane.

C. People could fly their airplane for fun.

D. People kept their airplane at a French gallery.

3.Which of the following is true about the research carried out by the US Army?

A. It has cost a large sum of money.

B. It has changed our life.

C. It has improved the abilities of tanks

D. It has not succeeded yet.

4.What does the writer want to tell in the passage?

A. many inventions get ideas from nature.

B. Some animals possess unique skills.

C. People should protect nature.

D. Bionics is far from perfect

 

A new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth.

Until now,it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience—what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught(though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).

But in the new study,researchers describe a method for improving this skill,along with experiments to prove it works.

The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it.This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence,so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.

First they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests.Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game,in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard.During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance,manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.

The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively.To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills,the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.

The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,were striking.Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater.Moreover,the longer they trained, the higher their scores were.All performers,from the weakest to the strongest,showed significant improvement.

“Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper.“No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops,” he added, “and the experiment’s design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains.

1.By writing the article,the writer intends to ______________.

A. inform the readers of a new study

B. call on people to be trained to increase intelligence

C. prove one’s born brainpower can be improved

D. tell people the improved intelligence will last forever

2.The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was ______________.

A. memorizing telephone numbers

B .improving working memory

C. training in concentration

D. recalling a card

3.The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence EXCEPT___________.

A. ignoring irrelevant items

B.monitoring ongoing performance

C.managing two tasks at the same time

D.using previous experience

4.When the experiment was conducted, the researchers______________.

A.trained the four groups for the same period of time

B.only made comparisons between the four groups

C.compared the four groups with control groups

D.trained the four groups together

So the evening turned to night, and the night turned to morning. And before I knew it , the SAT was before me. I wasn’t sure if I was ready, but I knew one thing: I wanted to get it over with.

SAT for the students is like tooth pulling. For those smart Asian kiddos, it’s like walking through the park: easy and carefree. For me, a Chinese American, …it’s: walking through the park and then tripping on a stone.

As I arrived outside of the dining hall, already a mob of students were sitting, talking, or standing silently waiting to get in. Jones students are lucky not only to have such a testing center at school, but also the feeling of their home school where it feels comfortable and familiar.

“ID, please,” my former math teacher asked at the door.

“Okay.” She looked over my ID, checked off my name on her list, and pointed towards the dining hall tables inside.

With hesitation, I picked up my feet and was directed to a large round table in the middle of the dinning hall. At least fourteen people could sit at this table but only four were allowed to take their test here.

“I’m glad it’s multiple choices.” I heard one student say. All the questions on the test have five choices except for one math section where they have only four. If you get an answer wrong, you don’t get any point, plus you get a penalty of a 1/4 point. If you don’t answer a question, you don’t get any point, nor penalties.

When everyone had a seat and the actual SAT I booklet in front of them, the proctor of the test called for our attentions. “In front of you, you should have a SAT I test and a scantron(答题卡). Please do not open the test booklet until I say so.” He then went on to talk about the procedures, the amount of time, signature of honesty, etc. After thirty minutes of instruction reading, he gave us all a solemn expression before saying, “You may begin now. Good luck.”

I could hear a hundred booklets being opened and pencils scratching the surface. I looked to my right, I looked to my left, I did a quick prayer for whoever was in charge up in the heavens, and started my test. At least I wouldn’t know my score until summer time.

1. How did the author feel before the test?

A. Confident.B. Carefree.

C. Confused.D. Nervous.

A. they can take the test in their home school

B. they can talk during the test

A. the test would be so difficult that she might not pass it

B. the test seemed easy but she still needed to be careful with it

C. the test would be much easier for her than for the other Asian students

D. she found herself not as smart as the other Asian students

4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Fourteen students sat around a large round table, taking the test.

B. There were four math problems on the test.

C. You will lose more points if you get the answer wrong than if you give up the question.

D. The proctor announced the instructions as soon as the test began.
