课文译文
洒出了的牛奶
你听说过洒出的牛奶这个故事吗?我们都知道，牛奶洒出去了我们哭也没有用。但是这里我要说的故事不一样。我希望所有的父母以这种方式做出反应。
最近我听说了一个在医学领域颇有成就的著名科学家的故事。他接受一家报纸记者的采访，记者问他为何他比常人更赋有创造性，是什么使他如此与众不同呢?
他回答说，在他看来，这都源于发生在他两岁时，他和他母亲的一次经历。他试图从冰箱里取出一瓶牛奶，却没有抓住光滑的瓶予，瓶子掉了，牛奶洒得厨房满地都是一白花花的一片。
当他妈妈赶到厨房，非但没有朝他喊叫，训斥他或是责罚他，反而说:“罗伯特，你把这里弄得如此杂乱:.真是太厉害啦!我joe从来没有见过如此大的牛奶水洼。既然，后果已经造成了，在我们打扫干净之前，你愿意过去那里在牛奶堆里玩凡分钟吗?"，事实土，他真那么做了。凡分钟之后，他妈妈说:“罗伯特，你要知道，不管你弄得多么脏乱，最终你都要把它清扫千净，并恢复它原本的秩序。所以，你愿意这么做吗?我们可以用海绵块，毛巾，或是拖把。你更喜欢用哪个?”他选择用海绵块，然后他们一起把洒掉的牛奶清理干净。
然后他妈妈说:“你要知道，我们在这做了一次关于如何有效地用两只小手取出一大瓶牛奶的失败的实验。让我们出来到后院来，然后把瓶子装满水，看看你是否能够找到一个方法来拿住它而不掉下来。”小男孩明白了，如果他用双手抓住瓶予上部靠近瓶边的地方，他就能拿住瓶于不掉下来。这是多棒的一课啊!
这位知名科学家评论道，就是在那一刻，他懂得了你没必要害怕做错事。相反的，他认识到了这些错误正是从中学习新知识的机会，毕竟，任何科学实验都是如此。即使实验“没有成功”，我们通常也能从中得到宝贵的经验教训。
如果所有的父母都能像罗伯特的母亲做法一样，岂不是很伟大吗
蛋糕
辛迪紧张地瞥了一眼厨房墙上的钟表。还有5分钟就是子夜时分了。
“他们现在应该回家了”，她心里一边想着，一边把做好的装点物放在她覆上糖霜的巧克力蛋糕上。这是她12年来第一次尝试着自己从零开始动手做蛋糕，而且坦诚的说，从美学观点看，蛋糕做得并不十分成功。
当时厨房看起来是这样的。想象一下一个填满了各种巧克力蛋糕配料的巨大的食物搅拌器一包括必备的碗，盘千，和其他器皿。现在再想象一下，这个食物搅拌器启动了，高速运转着，还没有盖盖子。你弄明白了吗?
但是辛迪并没有考虑这种杂乱的状况。她创造出了什么东西，一只由面粉和糖制成的名副其实的凤凰从厨房里一堆杂乱的东西中高耸出来。她焦虑不安地等待她父母约会归来，然后她就可以把这个周年纪念日的礼物送给父母。她关掉了厨房的灯，然后在黑暗中激动地等待着。终于，她看到汽车头灯在闪亮，她在厨房了口站定。当听到钥匙插进门锁的声音时，她的心几乎要蹦出来了!
她的父母试图悄悄地进来，但是辛迪可不想这样。她按下灯开关，吹响小喇叭:“哒一哒哒!”她朝厨房桌子骄傲地做了一个手势，桌子上摆看一个稍显不太平衡的二层巧克力蛋糕，它在等候看父母的检查。
但是她妈妈的眼睛根本没往桌子上看。“瞧瞧你弄得这一团糟!”妈妈抱怨说。“我跟你说过多少次了要自己打扫干净!"
“我本应该要你现在就把这里清理干净，但是找很累了，不能和你熬夜来确保你把它弄好，”妈妈说，“所以你明天一早第一件事就是打扫这里。”
“亲爱的，”辛迪的爸爸温和地插了句话，“看一下桌子上。”
“我知道，一团乱槽糟，”他妻予冷冷地说道。“整个厨房就像是一场灾难。我不能忍受看到这样。”她气呼呼地走上楼，然后进了她的房间，砰的一声关上了门。
辛迪和她爸爸静静地站了几分钟，他俩谁也不知该说什么。最终，她抬头看了看爸爸，她双眼微湿还有点红。“她一眼也没瞧瞧这蛋糕，”辛迪说。
不幸的是，并不是只有辛迪的妈妈患有情境境结核性青光眼(Situational Timbcrcular Glaucor饥)- _- --“即偶然会只见树木不见森林。由于那些眼下貌似极其重要但并非重要的事情，我们有时会对具有长远意义的事情视而不见。弄脏的鞋千，丢了的午饭钱，凌乱的厨房，这些都是令人烦恼的，它们也确实在人生中令人沮丧的事情中占有一席之地。但是一个小泥点一“即使是沾在了地毯上，那和孩子的自尊心相比又算得了什么呢7难道丢失了的一差元比一个年轻人初显的尊严还宝责吗。尽管厨房的环境卫生是重要的，但是它值得牺牲掉脆弱的感情和关系吗。joe
我并不是说我们的孩子不需要学会责任感，或是偶尔承受他们所作的糟糕的选择所带来的
痛苦后果。这些经验教训是极重要的，而且需要被很仔细的教导。但是，作为父母，我们不能忘记我们不仅仅在教导这些经验教训.，我们在教育孩子。这意味着我们有时候确实需要看到厨房的一团糟，但是有时候也确实只需要看到蛋糕。

I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases，but by driving cars，they're sill contributing to the problem. You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者)，but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually，my interest in exercise，health，and fitness led me to cycling. Cycling can help you lose weight，improve your health，and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury. While being good for your body，bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week. Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语（二）试卷第1页（共8页）

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to

But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities. It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops in doors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse. Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings — called vertical farming（垂直农业）— can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather. Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy. But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, Plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures. That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome —but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created. 【参考译文】 农场出现在城市里（城中农场） 当听到“农场”一词，你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。但科学家说，未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市的高楼里。 此事可能难以置信，可是事实上，在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现，某些蔬菜已经在温室里生长。甚至在南极科考站，科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。 据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多问题。首先，传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼（称之为垂直农业）可以解决此问题。再者说，水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。 尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实，但是专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划：把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作物，把来自于农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热，来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。 但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件容易的事。他们说，控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外，植物对气候和光照需求有差异。例如，一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候，但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。 并不是说这些困难不能克服——但是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出，建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年到十五年的时间。 word “farm” may m ake you think of the countryside.

Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax. All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one. Now let’s examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly （任意地）select the songs we are going to listen to. This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn’t suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be? What you’ll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you’ll end up feeling worse than before. I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don’t listen to songs with negative words or messages. The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups（分手）by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don’t. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster. 1.Music is believed to have a comforting effect. A.True B. False C. Not Given 2.One can benefit from all kinds of music. A.True B.
