| The practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers. Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells.

| I find some of the ways in which Chinese parents show love for their children rather surprising. Obviously there are some pretty big differences between our behavior and theirs in this respect. Most Chinese children seem to get whatever they want, from ice creams, sweets and toys to endless attention from the adults around them.Is this a sort of spoiling or love? I wonder. Most westerners would think it is a sort of spoiling rather than love. We think love means educating your children and bringing them up to lead an independent life. That includes learning to accept the fact that he can"t get everything he wants. As an adult, he will not always get the quite expensive car he hunts for; she will not always manage to acquire the beautiful dress she longs for. So we try to teach our children early to cope with the disappointment of not getting what they want. I find too much such kind of love for the children can actually spoil them. To my surprise, it seems that the life of a Chinese child is rather hard. Without doubt, the child is the very center of a whole circle of adults, but on the other hand he or she is also expected to start studying according to adults"wishes. Many children of my son"s age take piano lessons, painting classes and even English lessons. It looks as if Chinese adults think that just playing without learning anything is a waste of time. So in this respect our children appear spoiled, just because they are allowed to play. But without this sort of play how can Western children develop such free and rich imaginations? In fact, the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so important in the children"s future life. | |||
| 1. In which way do most Chinese children seem to be spoiled? | |||
| A. They can be supported by their parents. B. They can play whenever they want. C. They need not behave themselves. D. Their demands can always be satisfied. | |||
| 2. In the author"s opinion, the life of a Chinese child is __________. | |||
| A. rather hard B. rather easy C. independent D. colorful | |||
| 3. The author thinks Western children appear spoiled because __________. | |||
| A. they can manage time by themselves B. they can have the freedom to play C. they can take piano lessons D. they may have expensive toys | |||
| 4. The best title of the passage could be __________. | |||
| A. Chinese children"s early education B. How to develop kids" imagination C. What is the real love for children D. The imagination and the creativity | |||

| From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not cease trying to progress. The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station. As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone"s effort and will benefit everyone. But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the USA, it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world, it has much debt every year. It has to make arrangements about its finance, a try to find a balance in all these issues. | |||
| 1. What is the author’s attitude towards building and developing the international space station? | |||
| A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Dissatisfied. | |||
| 2. From Paragraph 2 we learn that __________. | |||
| A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now B. many experiments have been done in the international space station C. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more D. people have traveled to Mars from the international space station | |||
| 3. Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries" cooperation in building the international space station? | |||
| A. That it requires a lot of money. B. That it needs everyone’s effort. C. That it will benefit every participating country. D. That it is too far away from the earth. | |||
| 4. The underlined word "aggregated" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by "__________". | |||
| A. united B. scolded C. allowed D. forbade | |||
