![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216082021-92533.jpg) Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children .According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn’t like reading at all.In 2003, 35% didn’t.And around 6% of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216082021-92533.jpg) Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games.Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile.Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216082021-92533.jpg) Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher.An evaluation this year reported that children on the school made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216082021-92533.jpg) International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school, they read well ,but read text often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success .According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

A mobile phone is no longer just a phone -- it is also a music player, video camera and personal organizer. And mobile phones with television programming are just around the corner. But the more functions cell phone manufacturers add, the greater the amount of power the phones use and the less practical running them on lithium (锂) batteries becomes -- so the race to find a viable alternative is on. Two of the world"s biggest electronics makers, Hitachi and Toshiba, are currently competing against each other to come up with an alternative, most likely to be micro fuel cells. The task has been set by Japan"s second largest mobile phone provider, KDDI, which wants its customers to soon be able to use special television programming on their handsets, and has asked the two electronics companies to come up with a better power source. Hitomi Murakami, of KDDI, says battery-operated mobile phones cannot keep up with the new applications. "We"re looking at various ways to expand content and services that we can provide to the people. And we don"t want to have battery issues delaying us from doing that," he says. Hitachi"s Atsushi Morihara says it is a critical race for both of the companies as the resulting product will have a major impact on the mobile market in the future. "We are in competition and it"s up to both of us to come up with a good product. A product that will satisfy KDDI"s needs. I think I can go as far to say that the winner will take all." Miniaturized direct methanol (甲醇) fuel cells are different batteries in that they create power instead of simply storing it. That power is made by new technology utilizing cheap methanol. If all gees to plan, come 2007, Japanese phone users will not use an electric charger to power their mobiles, they will instead carry a small bottle of methanol and with just a few squirts, they will have power for their phones. But the method has its downsides, including how passengers will be able to take small mounts of flammable methanol on airliners. Fumio Ueno of Toshiba says that once developed, the uses of miniaturized direct methanol fuel cells have endless possibilities. 小题1:The lithium batteries are becoming improper for the cell phone because ______.A.there is a television in the phone | B.it is inconvenient to use | C.it can"t provide enough power | D.people have found substitutes | 小题2:According to the passage, Toshiba ______.A.is in critical competition with KDDI | B.will probably beat its rival | C.attaches great importance to methanol fuel | D.is one of the largest battery provider | 小题3:Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of methanol fuel?A.Easy to catch fire. | B.Portable. | C.Inexpensive. | D.Available everywhere. | 小题4:The best title for the passage is ______.A.Search for better phone power. | B.Development of cell phone battery. | C.Competition between two electronic firms. | D.Advantage and disadvantage of methanol fuel. |

(A)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Competition is great for kids, but it does have its dark side. 71 When this happens it takes the fun out of the activities they participate in. Kids need to keep a healthy attitude toward competitive activities and as parents it is our responsibility to let them know that it"s not all about winning. 72 Kids under the age of ten usually lose interest if an activity is too competitive. A good idea for kids in this age group is to allow them to participate in competitive activities but without keeping score. Emphasize that the importance of the activity I to make new friends, have fun and learn about sportsmanship. 73 When kids enter middle school, competitive activities take on new meaning. Kids like to be recognized for their efforts and winning places them in the spotlight. 74. The unfortunate thing is that kids who lose constantly get discouraged and quit participating. They feel they can"t accomplish their goals or meet the expectations of teachers and parents. This can lead to low self-esteem and discourage kids from trying their best. It"s best to keep them participating in competitive activities even if they only do so in the backyard with a group of their friends. As a parent, never put the emphasis on winning. 75. Give kids praise for doing their best whether they win or lose. This sends a positive message about putting forth their best effort. A.Winning becomes more appealing. B.Encourage young kids to win when he participates in a competition. C.Getting angry or depressed when he loses. D.The importance of participating in competitive activities is to have fun. E.Some children become over-competitive and focus only on recognition and winning. F.Rather, encourage kids to always give their best effort. G.Encourage young kids to give their best effort and gain self-confidence. |
I am always eager to do experiments, especially chemistry ones. It"s 21 to work with test tubes and beakers , even though sometimes my efforts end in failure. Experiments were fun for me 22 a recent accident. The accident happened when I was heating a big test tube with an alcohol burner , chatting to my partner. All of a sudden, the tube cracked. Even though I jumped from my seat when I heard the crack, the hair on my forehead was burnt as I was leaning too close to the test tube. 23 I had no time to be sad about my hair: the liquid in the test tube poured onto the table and caught fire. I"d never 24 anything so bad! My mind went blank for a moment. Then I quickly covered the fire with a damp cloth to put it out. The teacher told me that the test tube broke in half at the bottom because we didn"t dry it properly before 25 it. We calmed down and did the experiment, again. But our hearts were still 26 rapidly even after we walked out of the lab. But my bad luck didn"t end there! Since all our 27 was focused on the flames while we were in the lab, I didn"t see the liquid falling onto my trousers. During the following class, I felt a pain in my leg. Soon it became more and m6re painful and I touched the area with my fingers, 28 to make things better. But to my great 29 , the material of my trousers turned into powder! "Vitriol ! ! ! The terrible word came into my mind. I rushed out right away to wash and examine my poor skin. 30 , it was not a serious injury. After changing my trousers I thought it"s very important to have a serious attitude in chemistry class. Doing scientific experiments as a learner is no laughing matter. 21.
