This habit of writing poetry on every possible    23    soon got me into trouble at school. If a lesson did not interest me, I would take out my note-book and start writing poems in class.

   If you give your children the    32    (impress) that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard    33   as unfit or unable persons.    34   children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.

   My daughter Carla’s fifth grade teacher got every child in her class   35   (feel) special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out    36   they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.

   You can see the same technique when you evaluate your    37   work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise    38   . Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, reward him    39    a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad. Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and   40   . If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

A.

Learning English is a great challenge, but with a little help from technology it can be as easy as a piece of cake.

     As well as the classroom, teachers and textbooks, the Internet, TV and radio programs can play an active role in helping learn English. The Internet is full of rich and up-to-date information. English learners might wish to try http://www.in2english.com.cn.  This website is co-established by the British Council, the BBC World Service and Central Radio and TV University. It provides cultural information about Britain and has an example of the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) that students can use for practice. Different levels of grammar tests can also be found.

Make friends online

     Another useful website for middle school students and teachers is. Besides reading 21st Century School Edition online, students are also invited to put their views on different topics up on the website.

     Users have the opportunity to make friends with people who share their interests.

     In the teaching and learning section, there are reading and vocabulary tips for students.

     Compared with the Internet, TV programs have their own advantages: one does not have to sit at a computer and the audio and visual effects can even be relaxing.

     One popular English-learning program is called "Modern English". This focuses on oral English in practical situations such as taking photos and shopping.

     The short dialogues and useful phrases may help students to express themselves if they go abroad or meet foreigners in China. More than 50 TV stations in about 300 cities have aired the program.

Word to World

     If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8, you might see a program titled "Study Abroad". On this show Professor Wang Qiang from New Oriental School hosts "From Word to World".

     He selects words with a deep cultural background and teaches useful phrases related to that word. Cartoons are also used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.

     China Radio International airs a program called "Studio Classroom" at 6:30 a.m. every day. This 25-minute program is aimed at middle school students and covers subjects from current news to travel and history, all in simple language.

B

A California family drives a car that could help protect the environment. When Jon and Sandy go to the store or to their daughters’ soccer games, they drive in high-tech style. They drive a $1 million, fuel-cell-powered car. It may be the world’s most expensive car and one of the most environmentally friendly cars. The FCX is the first fuel-cell-powered car to be used by a family anywhere in the world. The FCX uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. Car makers have been working to develop vehicles that are better for the environment. They are developing cars that use fuel other than gasoline. And then what is fuel cell technology? Fuel cell technology works by changing the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water. This process produces electricity, and water vapor which comes out of the exhaust pipe. Most cars release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Many scientists say these gases are major contributors to global warming. “The FCX is driven just like any other vehicle on the road, but without the gases which pollute the environment,” scientists say. Fuel cell technology has been around since the 1800s, but scientists have yet been to perfect it. They say it may take years before the technology is ready for widespread use. Another earth-friendly car is already on the market. Hybrid cars use both gasoline and an electric motor. They are becoming more popular with customers because they cut pollution and improve fuel efficiency.

46. Which of the following about the FCX is not true?

A. It may be the most expensive car in the world.

B. It is one of the most environmentally friendly cars.

C. It releases dangerous gases to pollute the air.

D. It uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel other than gasoline.

47. According to the passage, what is the major cause for global warming?

A. Gases from FCX.                           B. Water vapor from cars.

C. Hydrogen and oxygen.                   D. Gases from cars.

48. From the passage, we know that fuel cell technology ______.

A. works by water                             B. has a history for over two hundred years

C. works by electricity                        D. has been widely used since the 1800s

49. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. future cars will be environmentally friendly

B. there will be no gasoline for cars

C. people can’t afford to buy cars in the future

D. global warming has been stopped

50. Hybrid cars are popular because ______.

A. they are the fuel-cell-powered cars

B. they are energy-saving and cut pollution

C. they are perfect cars in the world

D. they produce no gases to pollute the environment

 

C

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

   Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better.
