the exam. Standard English is the form of English you learn in school. All written English should be
standard that means it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it. Standard English
developed as the main form. of printed English in the 15th Century. At the time, every region of Britain
used to spell w0rds differently, but printers needed a fixed spelling. Printers like Caxton chose the East
Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East. Soon Standard English replaced
all written dialect forms the other forms of English spoken around the country. It also replaced French
and Latin in law and in academic work. In the 18th Century, people wrote dictionaries and grammar
books which standardized spelling Dr Johnson"s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we
still use today. All written English should be Standard English any grammar rules you learn are for
Standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work.
The rules of Standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.
Avoid slang words words that your teachers or friends wouldn"t understand. You"ll lose marks if
the examiners can"t understand what you say or write. Don"t use dialect words. Every region has
words or phrases that are only used there. Don"t use them in your coursework, because you won"t
be understood. Make sure you revise grammar and punctuation you have learned, and learn the list
of commonly misspelled words you have made. Cliches are ideas or sayings which have been used
so often that they"ve become boring and unoriginal. Phrases like, "As good as it gets" "At the end of
the day" "In the fullness of time" are all cliches. So are images like, "as fierce as a lion" "as cunning as
a fox". If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative that could mean you lose marks for
writing and speaking style. So avoid cliches.

play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of
Helsinki shows that playing outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.
Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and
at the same time, to ask schools and kindergartens to assure the small a playground outside. Recent
statistics (数据) and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in
front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent outside.
As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses.
Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don"t know what to do
anymore to make their children eat healthy and balanced.
Children need a space where to develop their creativity mid parents should encourage them all the
time. Too many rules hold back the child"s personality and creativity and prevent them to develop the
desire to know, to find out, to learn.
If you tell your child so many times: "Don"t do that, don"t mess the room, don"t go there ...", he
will lose the desire to do something, anything. Parents must watch their children without suffocating
(窒息) them. Should you consider they mustn"t do that or this, you have to logically explain them your
reasons and they will understand.
Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take decisions. Playing is connected
to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to
express his feelings.
B. most schools and kindergartens have no playgrounds
C. most parents encourage their children to watch TV or go surfing
D. most children spend more time on TV or tile Internet than on playing outside
B. weight problems
C. lack of creativity
D. lack of interest in their lessons
B. never to forbid children to do anything they want to do
C. to explain why when you don"t let children do something
D. to watch children playing anytime to ensure their safety
B. Playing is good for your children in many aspects
C. Teaching your children what and how to play
D. Don"t forbid your children to do anything
students with the highest GPAs. However, this just isn"t even close to true. There are scholarships out
there for every type of student seeking a college education. Let"s take a look at each type a bit more in
depth.
Academic Scholarships
Academic scholarships are also often referred to as merit (优点) scholarships, though a merit
scholarship can mean anything that has some level of contest to it. These are fox; the students with the
4.0 GPAs, the years as a part of several extracurricular (课外的) activities and the well- rounded
applications. They typically have the highest payouts and are considered very well- known as they are
often national awards.
Athletic Scholarships
For students with strong academics (学业的) and physical skills, athletic scholarships are the way
to go. There is practically a scholarship for every single sport, from volleyball to football; gymnastics to
cheerleading. So, if you are good at anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic scholarship.
Scholarships for Minorities
There are also many scholarships for minorities available. Some of these are general and for "all
minorities as a collective whole, while others are intended for individual ethnic (种族的) groups. It is
also a good idea to apply for a minority scholarship if you are part of fully of a certain ethnicity. You
will get to represent your culture and possibly win money -- what more could you ask for?
Scholarships for Women
As with the scholarships for minorities above, there are also scholarships specifically for women.
Since colleges were dominated (主宰) by men for many years, scholarships have been created for
strong, career-minded women that need assistance paying for college expenses. If you are female, it is
strongly recommended you pursue a scholarship for women. Moreover, scholarships for women are
typic
ally available in just about any field. Be specific!
B. most people think scholarships should go to the smartest students
C. most people have some misunderstanding about scholarships
D. most people deserve scholarships though not having applied for them
apply for ______.
B. Athletic Scholarships
C. Scholarships for Minorities
D. Scholarships for Women
ethnology (民族学). Then she"d better apply for ______.
B. Athletic Scholarships
C. Scholarships for Minorities

that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we think in the passing scene
of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing , of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of
smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of
mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into
the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will
come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we
pace the aisles, condemning(谴责)the minutes for loitering(虚度)- waiting, waiting, waiting for the
station.
"When we reach the station, that will be it!"we cry. "When I"m 38." "When I buy a new 450SL
Mercdes Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the debt!" "When I get
a promotion.""When I reach the age of rement, I shall live happily ever after!"
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The
true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream.It constantly outdistances us.
"Relish(appreciate) the moment" is a good motto, actually it isn"t the burdens of today that drive man
mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob
us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more icecream,
swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along.
Then the station will come soon enough.
B. To let people enjoy the scenery.
C. To introduce an actual trip of his.
D. To compare it to our life"s journey.
B. Happy.
C. Relaxed.
D. Impatient.
2 Paragraph 5?
B. We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.
C. Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
D. We"re frequently challenged by the two: regret and fear.
B. To tell us the right attitude to life.
C. To advise us to forget our worries.
D. To stop us wandering along the aisles.
books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between
exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Oregon Health and
Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can
make blood vessels(管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron
claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says, "While we already know that
exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain."
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities
that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who
are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes,
a pediatrician(儿科医生), believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning
disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of
movement as babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a
connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate
physical activity with higher learning," says Margaret.
Older people can beef up their brains as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of
seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase
of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very
difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants (婴儿), exercise
for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions, such as with
yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time.
For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is
to increase the brain"s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise
a week.
B. How exercise helps the brain
C. How to get good scores on a test
D. How the brain can change
B. The brain needs special mental exercise.
C. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.
D. Physical exercise helps us think better.
A. three hours per week
B. 40 hours per week
C. three hours per day
D. 40 hours per month
B. It can be done in groups.
C. It does not increase the heart rate.
D. It includes learning new motions.
good grades can bring them cash and luxury gifts.
In at least a dozen states this school year, students who bring home top marks can expect more than just
thankfulness.
The most ambitious experiment began in September, when seven states - Arkansas, Alabama,
Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington-won spots in an Mobil-funded
program that, in most cases, pays students $100 for each passing grade on advanced placement (AP)
college-prep exams.
It"s an effort to get low-income and minority students interested in the courses, says Tommie Sue
Anthony, president of the Arkansas Advanced Initiative for Math and Science. "We still have students
who are not sure of the value, who are not willing to take the courses," she says. "Probably the motivation will make a difference with those students."
Gregg Fleisher of the National Math and Science Initiative, which runs the seven-state program, says
the effort is modeled on a program adopted by Dallas in the 1995-96 school year that saw AP
course-taking jump obviously. That program is now statewide.
While many educators would be against offering kids cash for good grades, Fleisher and others say
the idea is simple: "It"s an encouragement to get them to basically make the right decision and choose a
more strict class," he says. "This teaches them that if they work at something very hard and have a lot of
support, they can do something they didn"t think they could do."
An analysis of the Texas program last month by Cornell economist C. Kirabo Jackson found that it
linked to a 30% rise in the number of students with high SAT and ACT scores and an 8% rise in
college-going students.(Notes: 1.SAT: 美国学术能力评估考试;2. ACT: 美国大学入学考试.)
B .A new motivation for students.
C. Good grades deserves gratitude.
D. Success makes a difference.
B. To help poor students to keep on with education.
C. To get relatively poor students interested in their studies.
D. To make an effort to raise the value of money.
B. The program didn"t have any effect on student"s achievements.
C. The program has been going on half a dozen states this year.
D. The program was probably first adopted by Dallas.
B. makes everything possible
C. helps students choose right classes
D. teaches students to spend money
