举一反三
Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends — they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
小题1:“Dropouts” are those who _______.
A.make troubles in and out of schools
B.go about or stay home instead of being at school
C.try hard but always fails in the exams
D.lose hope and give up some of their subjects
小题2:According to the passage, it’s necessary to teach students _______.
A.how to study wellB.how to get on with others
C.to show love and care for othersD.All above
小题3:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.The Trouble in Japanese Schools
B.The Problems of Japanese Students
C.Education in Japan
D.The Pressures on the Students in Japan

What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers.Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science,until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up.From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ.Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15.What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103.An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did.However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage.He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one. Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this.Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these.“The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything.Many alternative views have been put forward recently.One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner.This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.
Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence.He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples.At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain.Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
小题1:What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The development of intelligence
B.The idea of multiple intelligences
C.IQ isn’t everything for intelligence
D.Alternative views have been put forward
小题2:Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?
A.To make a suggestion.B.To draw a conclusion
C.To prove an idea.D.To give an example
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common
B.Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors
C.Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career
D.Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence
小题4:What might be the best title of the passage?
A.The relationship between genes and intelligence
B.IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence
C.How to develop intelligence.
D.What makes intelligence.

Human cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.
With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.
We should be able to clone the bone marrow(骨髓) for children and adults suffering from leukemia(白血病). This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology. We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.
Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases. The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented (前所未有的)advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefit begin.
小题1:What does the underlined word “infertile” (paragraph 2) most probably mean?
A.with physical and emotional problems
B.short of time and money
C.unable to give birth to children
D.separated from each other for a long time
小题2:According to the text, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology is in ______.
A.the treatment of mental diseases
B.the reserve of heart diseases
C.the cure of gene-related diseases
D.the bearing of babies
小题3:According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that__________.
A.it has brought about benefits so far
B.it may be out of human control
C.people still know little about it
D.people are afraid of such technology

Since the beginning of the year, smog has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory(呼吸系统)and heart diseases.
Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.
So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.
Smog especially is a common concern. Like a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or vocation. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.
At a meeting on Monday, many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It"s for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.
China needs to develop its economy and invest(投资) in high-tech. Every Chinese wants a strong country. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can migrate to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.
What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. Former president Hu Jintao spoke at the 18th Party Congress last November saying that great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government"s resolution to address the environment issue.
小题1:The effect of smog doesn’t include.
A.the rising of PM 2.5 readings
B.more people suffering diseases
C.the increase of people’s income
D.patients increased in hospital
小题2:Why smog has become a common concern?
A.Because people have to pay higher prices.
B.Because nobody can avoid it.
C.Because we have to develop industry.
D.Because a popular online-post discussed it.
小题3:The underlined word “they” in paragraph 6 refers to.
A.human beingsB.other plants
C.space technologiesD.industrial development
小题4:From the last two paragraphs we can infer that.
A.high-tech can completely solve the problem of pollution
B.space technologies should be developed in a large scale
C.we can move to the Mars after the earth has been destroyed
D.we must protect the environment while developing economy

Bicycle Safety

Operation Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus. Obey rules and regulations. Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in dark conditions.
Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack—even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It’s fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.
Equipment
Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fits properly.
Lights Always have a front headlight—visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.
