shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn"t seem to require any explanation.
We"d just finished John Steinbeck"s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together
out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. "Are you
crying?" one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. "I am," I told her, "and
the funny thing is I"ve read it many times."
But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always
going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I"ve taught
kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents
themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand,
more than I ever will, the novel"s terrible logic-the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).
For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works
of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to
my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective
high school-one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan"s upper classes-into a
less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt
uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional "cultural capital" could help students
like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first
time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D."s.
Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies,
Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn"t always read from the expected point of view.
About The Red Pony, one student said, "it"s about being a man, it"s about manliness. "I had never
before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth"s soliloquies
(独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once
introduced to Steinbeck"s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me
repeatedly how amazing it was that "all these people hate each other, and they"re all white." His
historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former
students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the
classes.
Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to
teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text
complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that
ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in
raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it
belongs to them.
B. give support to our life
C. smooth away difficulties
D. awake our emotions
B. Because they had read the novel before.
C. Because they came from a public school.
D. Because they had similar life experiences.
B. her parents were immigrants
C. she couldn"t fit in with her class
D. her father was then in prison
B. passively
C. repeatedly
D. carelessly
B. advocate teaching literature to touch the heart
C. argue for equality among high school students
D. defend the current testing system

avoiding natural enemies don"t exist . Without such problems , animals in zoos should live to an old age .
But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth . Scientists have known that elephants in
zoos often suffer from poor health . They develop diseases and behaviour changes . Sometimes , they
even become infertile
, or unable to have babies .To learn more about how elephants are affected , a team of international scientists compared the life
spans of elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in their native lands . Zoos keep detailed
records of all the animals , such as birth dates , illnesses , weight and death . These records made it
possible for the researchers to analyse 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos
across Europe . The team found that female African elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9
years while those in the wild lived an average of 56 years . Scientists don"t yet know why wild elephants
seem to be so much better than their zoo-raised elephants . Georgia Mason , a biologist who led the
study , thinks stress and obesity may be to blame . Zoo elephants don"t get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild , and most are fat .
Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early
than Asian elephants caught in the wild and brought to zoos . Mason suggests stress in the mothers in zoos might cause them to have babies that are less likely to survive .

close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week-usually Thursday and/or Friday-some large
food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping.
Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or
Thursday and it is a different day in different towns.
Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper
shops are open in the morning, and sell sweetsand cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.
Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that
you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large
food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the
things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying, they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have detectives.
When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who
arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排队).
B. five hours
C. ten hours
D. six hours
B. Many shops are closed in the afternoon once a week on Tuesday.
C. Only a few things can be bought on Sundays.
D. It is not difficult for foreign visitors to buy things in Britain.

two of the safest U.S. cities for children.
Both urban areas scored high marks in a study that assessed 50 of the largest U.S. cities on 25 safety
criteria such as proximity (接近) of hospitals, bike helmet laws and how quickly local fire departments
respond to determine the safest cities for children.
"It"s clear that most cities are doing great things to improve safety at home and in the community," said Gus Schaefer of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent safety certification provider that conducted the research.
New York firefighters were the quickest to respond to emergencies, while Louisville pedestrians(行人) were among the least likely to be in a traffic accident, according to the study.
Boston parents can breathe easy knowing they live in the city with the most hospitals per capita(人
均) and Portland, Oregon got honors for its low drowning rates and air quality.
Virginia Beach scored high marks because car passengers under the age of 18 have to wear seatbelts, even if they are riding in the back seat.
Columbus, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa were also among the safest cities.
Although the study did not rank the cities, it showed that the vast majority have anti-smoking laws and
all have smoke alarm laws.
One area where there might still be room for improvement is bike helmet laws. Only 39 of the largest
urban areas have bike helmet laws.
But 47 out of 50 cities had some non-smoking laws and an equal number required CO alarms. And all
the cities insisted on inspections after construction or remodeling projects.
In addition to local and state laws to keep their children safe, UL said families can also take measures
to improve the safety of their children, including making sure television stands are well fixed and having a
fire escape plan.
B. the most popular U.S. cities
C. the safest U.S. cities for kids
D. the various laws in the U.S. cities

C. traffic rules
D. families" fire escape plans
B. They all required factories to fix CO alarms.
C. Their hospitals provided high-quality service.
D. They had careful examinations of newly completed buildings.
