and again). One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin. Their headmistress, Emile Jean-Noel,
is one of the few women school headteachers in the country.
Today, over 70% of Haitian population live without proper food, water, schools, or housing. To reduce
the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school, meals are
provided by the World Food Programme.
"We are so cut off that we have many difficulties," comments Emile, adding that finding chalk, school
books and other materials is practically impossible. Emile tries to encourage people around her to make use
of available resources. Her efforts are bearing fruit. One of her successes was convincing local women to
contribute to their children" s schooling and increase their income by selling embroidery ( 刺绣) and other
handicrafts.
Recent political instability (不稳定) has meant that the country has not invested (投资) in education for
ten years. Only 44% of children go to school and less than half of them finish primary school. Less than a
third of these children go on to secondary school. In rural areas it is not rare to find 17 and 18 year olds in
primary school- Beau-Roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils. Emile works constantly to improve her pupils"
environment. Under her direction, a local worker is now constructing a store house for the food delivered
regularly by the WFP.
Not only is Emile" s salary small, but she receives it irregularly. For her, transport is a real headache. She
lives five kilometers away and has to take the tap tap, a privately-owned bus, costing more than she can
afford.
"The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly", Emile comments. "With all the
sacrifices and risks it requires, only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it." However, Emile
loves her job. "I always feel at home with the children and, because the parents understand what I"m doing,
I try to give my best."
B. Persuading local women to care about their children" s education.
C. Encouraging people around to use those available resources.
D. Finding chalk, school books and other materials.
B. unfamiliar with teaching
C. qualified for teaching
D. cautious about teaching
B. Devotion to education.
C. Politics and children.
D. Love and beauty.

first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting
to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states
of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young
child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other
hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural
enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in
money matters, others are sever over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the
controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child"s
own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in
parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also,
parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what
they preach (说教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough
to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked
difference between their parents" principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make him lose interest in learning new things
B. should expect a lot from the children
C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible
B. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D. it"s parents" and society"s duty to control the children
B. punishment
C. behavior
D. instruction
B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C. forbid their children to follow book teachings
D. always ensure the security of their children
hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to the study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.
From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues
found most children aren"t getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor
country. "With regards to physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich
countries," Guthold said. "Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical
activity." The study was published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looking at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15
from North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The children were surveyed between 2003
and 2007.
The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at
least five days a week.Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games,
or chatting with friends -- aside from time in school or time spent doing homework-were classified as sedentary. The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by
these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn"t get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.
Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendations, while girls from
Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least
sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations
were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three
hours a day in sedentary activities.
People show deep concern for kids" lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low
level of physical activity? Guthold speculated (推测) that urbanization (都市化)could be a factor as well as
access to cars and TVs.
B. have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every day
C. like watching TV and playing computer games
D. spend a lot of time sitting down and not moving
B. Girls in every country are no more active than boys.
C. Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities .
D. Only 4 percent of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.
B. Nearly one third of children globally are couch potatoes
C. Effects of physical activities on health
D. Unimaginable standard of physical exercise
how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be
designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.
We are in the twenty-first century now, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in
time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but
not all their classmates. The message behind such an arrangement is obvious. Everything of importance comes
from the teacher.
With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation
and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standard-sized classes, chairs,
desks, and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to
see everyone else. Large classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less
flexibility.
Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion
or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large
lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into
small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how
other students" thinking processes operate all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.
In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small
groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine, John, allows students to move around during the first two
weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat, with
the same group, from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him
learn students" names and faces.
B. to make it possible for students to interact with each other
C. for the teacher to find out how students think
D. to give students more opportunities to practice speaking
B. Critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago.
C. College classrooms often remind people of their college life.
D. A hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different.
B. It"s impossible for students to make up small groups in large lecture halls
C. A comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiency
D. New kinds of desks and chairs should be made
B. introduce an approach of learning students" names and faces easily
C. give an example that students stay in the same seat throughout the course
D. describe a good seat-arrangement mode in courses with small group format
allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药
理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you,
good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude
produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a
decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and
depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself
to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will
generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.
For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don"t feel like smiling or laughing,
if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts
can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is
important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your
success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.
It"s often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好
战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn
to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to
success is totally within your control. Use it.
B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone
C. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed
D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking
B. It"s easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.
C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude.
D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.
B. be king in your office
C. pay no attention to what is going on around you
D. control your feeling to what is happening to you
B. Why Should People Think
C. Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking
D. Thinking: The Vital Way
partners are also depressed.
The findings highlights the importance of paying attention to the partners of depressed mothers as young
children themselves are vulnerable to social problems if both parents are depressed.
Researchers in London and at the university of Bristol launched their study to investigate whether family
structure affects the likelihood of depression in men around the time their child is born. They looked at men
from traditional families, men with children from a previous relationship, men whose parents had children by
a former partner, and men who were not living with their partners.
All 7,018 participants filled out a questionnaire on depression, and answered the questions about their age,
education level and employment status. Details about the quality of their relationship with their partners,
networks of friends and previous life events were also recorded.
About 3.5 percent of the men and 13 percent of their partners suffered depression around the time their
child was born. In comparison, men in step-families or who were not living with their partners were twice
as likely to get depressed as those in traditional families. This could be explained by other factors that are more
common in non-traditional families, such as poor education and relationship conflicts.
Even allowing for all these factors, however, the partners of women who were suffering from perinata (围
产期的) depression were significantly more likely to become depressed themselves, the researchers report in
an American Journal. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. For the healthy
women, the figure was only 2.6 percent. Previous research suggests that families with two depressed partners
may need special attention. A researcher in Atlanta has found that primary school children with two troubled
parents have difficulty relating to their peers. "It"s extremely important to look at the whole family," she says.
B. Depressed women often have depressed partners
C. All young children are vulnerable to social problems
D. Women with children often have depressed partners
B. investigate why so many men get depressed when a child is born
C. study whether family structure affects depression in men when child is born
D. see whether it is true that behind every depressed man there is a depressed woman
B. Men in traditional families
C. Men not living with their partners
D. Men in non-traditional families
