School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

  It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula by heart. It is actually quiet easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula(公式) in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientist, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for men. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.

According to the passage, a good teacher should be one who is to_________.

   A. help his students to gain a good memory.

   B. train his students’ ability to learn

   C. teach his students everything he knows

   D. have his students studying long hours

If a student want to learn better, the most important thing for him to do is_______.

   A. to learn all the useful facts and formula by heart

   B. to do everything as his teacher have said in class

   C. to absorb (吸收) as much knowledge from his teacher as possible

   D. to think more while he is studying

The main reason for the success of the great scientists is that________.

   A. the teachers who had taught them were all experienced.

   B. they used to work and study without a moment’s rest.

   C. they had received more schooling than other people

   D. they know how to study and worked hard

What’s the good advice the writer gives us?

   A. We can learn better without teachers

B. We should do more asking and thinking while studying

   C. We should pay enough attention to classroom

D. Book knowledge is little use

Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve get a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (标签). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting – whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.

This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.

An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source – batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device (装置), that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.

Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person ) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.

Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could he put every where and send information in smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.

RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to he a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly.” Predicts Dr. J. Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers, Accompanied by how many biscuits.

When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship – to – shore communication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

The article is intended to             .

       A．warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology

       B．explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology

       C．convince people of the uses of RFID technology

       D．predict the applications of RFID technology

We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people          .

       A．will have no trouble getting date about others

       B．will have more energy for conversation

       C．will have more time to make friends

       D．won’t feel shy at parties any longer

Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of           .

       A．scanning devices

       B．radio waves

       C．batteries

       D．chips

Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

       A．Because children will be tracked by strangers.

       B．Because market competition will become more fierce.

       C．Because their private lives will be greatly affected.

       D．Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

The last paragraph implies that RFID technology           .

       A．will not be used for such matters as buying milk

       B．will be widely used, including for buying milk

       C．will be limited to communication uses

       D．will probably be used for pop music

In meditation(冥想) ，people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds. they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go.

According to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a market change in how the brain allocates(分配) attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people at catching such fast-changing stimuli(刺激), like facial expressions.

The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice. everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain, It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.

In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both group looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.

Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number. as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number, This shows that attention can change with practice.

Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study.” I am a much better listener,” he said. “I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying.”

The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.

A. feelings             B. minds               C. people               D. thoughts

Meditations manage their daily tasks better because they ________.

A. are given less pressure                    B. allocate their attention better

C. have more stimuli for life                D. practice them more frequently

In the experiment, volunteers doing meditation for longer hours ________.

A. were more likely to catch both of the members

B. were used to memorizing numbers in groups

C. usually ignored the first number observed

D. paid more attention to numbers than to letters

The study proves that ________.

A. meditation improves one’s health

B. brain activity can be recorded

C. human attention can be trained

D. mediators have a good sense of hearing
