Mr. Whitson taught six-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about a creature called cattywampus, an animal that died out during the Ice Age. He showed us a skull(头盖骨) as he talked.We all took notes and later had a test. When he returned our paper, we found that everyone in the class had failed. Mr. Whitson explained that he had made up all those things about the cattywampus. There had never been such an animal. The information in our notes was incorrect. The skull he showed us was a cat's skull.He had described its surprising night vision, the color ofits fur and a number of other facts he couldn't have known. Nobody was doubtful but wrote down what the teacher said. Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would
Ieam something from this experience. Teachers and textbooks are not never wrong. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbooks was wrong.

Possible version 1:
The passage is about a lecture on a fictional creature given by Mr Whitson, who fails the whole class in the test for their blind obedience and holds the view that students should question actively instead ofblindly following.(38 words)
The story reminds me of the first English class when I was in Senior One. When the class began, in came Miss Liu, our English teacher. To my surprise, though she spoke English during the whole period, I could figure out what she meant, which increased my interest in learning English.At the end of the class, she asked me to retell the text. In a trembling voice, I did it in broken English, which I felt ashamed of However, she praised me for my courage to perform in front of the class, adding that my pronunciation was good.
I will never forget the English class because Miss Liu taught us that by taking an active part in class and enjoying it, we would make progress. (125 words)
Possible version 2:
Mr. Whitson, a science teacher, told his students, who all failed in the test, that they should maintain doubts in their minds when they are learning by showing them a made-up creature on the first day ofclass. (38 words)
I had a similar experience. When I was in Grade Seven, our science teacher, Mr. Li, presented us an experiment on how the electricity can be produced. He rubbed a plastic stick on a piece of fur and put the stick on our hair, which made our hair stick up like needles. All the students were attracted by the amazing phenomenon. Mr. Li did the experiment again. But we never saw the same result as we had seen before. Mr. Li asked us to explain it. Nobody could answer. Then Mr. Li said that the plastic stick which he had shown the first time was wet with water in the second time. We failed to answer because we didn't pay enough attention to the experiment.
From this lesson, I know that science needs careful observation and any detail can make a difference.(135 words)
阅读下面的短文,然后从A-F选项中,为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。

A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
