More than 400 students in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great Scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein escaped from Nazi Germany to avoid being killed. Group 3 read about the scientists’ intellectual struggles, such as Marie Curie’s failed experiments. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these problems.The students took a science test before the study. After the six-week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn’t see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.The study was led by Xiaodong Lin Siegler, a professor. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was born a genius. They believe they will never match him. Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures. Students who read the struggle stories were more likely to say great scientists were like themselves. The “great minds” also had to solve problems to achieve success.Xiaodong says today’s science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students hardly consider science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And they should pay more attention to how these scientists responded to the problems they met along the way.1.According to the passage, we can improve our physics and chemistry grades by ________.A.reading the achievements of great scientists more carefullyB.listening more carefully to our physics and chemistry teachersC.learning about the difficulties that great scientists once experiencedD.spending more time remembering the lists of facts in our science textbooks2.Who took part in the study held by the American Psychological AssociationA.Students who went to schools in New York City.B.Students who Studied in secondary school.C.Students who were interested in physics and chemistry.D.Students who were poor at physics and chemistry grades.3.According to the last paragraph, Xiaodong thinks that ________.A.Today’s science textbooks bring much science to lifeB.Students should study harder to become a great scientist.C.Students only need to remember a long list of facts.D.It is meaningful to learn how scientists struggle to succeed.4.Where can we probably find this passageA.A novel.B.A fashion magazine.C.A story book.D.An education website.三、阅读并回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词On March 14, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, the UK.Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and would end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History Of Time, which has sold more than 25 million copies around the world.Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic attitude. When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” by using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningfuland colourful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well,” he once said.Hawking travelled around the world to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica (南极洲). He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. When he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day. In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quite satisfied with my life,” he said.What does Hawking think the universe began withWhat happened to Hawking because of the serious illnessHow many continents has Hawking visited in his lifeWhere did Hawking celebrate his sixtieth birthdayWhat can you learn from Hawking四、选词填空either as a result require patient mindThe aim of students who came to school is to study.

How we achieve these goals depends on many things. One important thing is practice. Practice helps us d 1 the skills to achieve our goals.One day, a teacher who taught pottery (陶艺) told his class that he would d 2 the class into two groups. Group 1 had to make as m 3 pots as they could. If they made 50 pots, they would get a grade A, 40 pots a grade B, etc. Group 2 had to make one pot that could be the b 4 and perfect. If it was perfect, it would get a grade A.At the end of the Pottery classes, the teacher found a surprising fact. The pots that were of the best and highest quality were all m 5 by Group 1. For Group 2, they spent so much time discussing the best design for their pot that they f 6 to make a single good pot.The best pots were made by the group who made the most. So, what was the reason for this Group 1 was busy making as many pots as p 7 . They were practicing, developing skills and learning from their m 8 . Meanwhile, Group 2 were sitting around talking about it.

首字母专项训练1.Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some kind or another. Whether you live in the center of a modern city or a village far away----the chances that you will be disturbed by planes, cars, radios and so on are almost e 1 . We seemed to be used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonelyw 2 background music while they are working.Tests have showed that t 3 silence can be a very frightening experience. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can be h 4 to their ears. In some heavy industrial areas, the noise level is far a 5 the usual safety level.One recent report about noise said that although a lot of people say that a 6 noise disturbs their attention, only a sudden change in the level of noise really affects people’s attention. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help to pay attention.People are testing w 7 to make less noise. There are even laws controlling noise. Some day in the future we can return to the “good old days” of peace and quiet.2.Some people think that as more and more people have television in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can b 1 you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read a novel, when a play on television can tell you the same story with color, picture and action?H 2 , television has not killed reading. Today, newspapers and magazines sell in very l 3 numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, books are still a cheap way to get information and entertainment.Some types of books should be in our homes. Every home should have a good dictionary. It might bee 4 . A good encyclopedia is useful, because you can find information on any subject. In addition, it is useful to have on your bookshelves o 5 books such as history books, science textbooks, cook books, books a 6 medicine and health, etc. It is also important to have some storybooks or novels. Then you can relax with a good story and have a rest q 7 .3.Many people have to work on the weekend. Some people do not mind. Other people think it is terrible.One man thinks that working on the weekend can be d 1 . He is Graham Coates. Mr. Coates works in an office in Brighton, England.On Sunday, May 24, 1998, he went to the office to do some work. When he got on the elevator, it s 2 between floors. Mr. Coates could not get out of the elevator. He started to shout, but no one heard him. Then Mr. Coates remembered that it was a h 3 in England. No one was going to come to work e 4 Tuesday!There was nothing for Mr. Coates to do. He had to wait till one of his co-workers came to work and found him. With nothing to eat and drink, Mr. Coates had to s 5 for most of the time.Early on Tuesday morning, the vice president of the company came to work and found the elevator was not working. He got someone to f 6 it. When the elevator was opened, Mr. Coates came out hungry, weak, and tired.After this terrible experience, Mr. Coates says, “I o 7 use elevators if they have telephones in them.”4.One day a poor boy, who was selling newspapers from door to door to pay for his schooling, found he has only ten pennies l 1 , and he was hungry. He decided to ask for a meal at the next house. However, he had another idea when a young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. But as he looked hungry, she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”“My mother teaches me that I should n 2 get money for any kindness,” she replied, “so you don’t own me anything.”Many years later, the woman became s 3 ill. Then she was sent to a famous hospital in London.Dr. Kelly was called in to s 4 her illness. When he heard the name of the town which she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.As soon as he walked into her room, he got to know her at once. He did his best to save her. Then he gaves 5 attention to her. After some time she got well.Dr. Kelly asked for her final b 6 before she left hospital. He looked at it and then wrote something on it before it was sent to her. She was afraid to open it, for she believed it would take the rest of her life top 7 for it all. But finally she opened it, and read these words on it: Paid in full with one glass of milk. 5.Now people have a better understanding of the i 1 of the ecosystem. An ecosystem is an ecologicalsystem in which all the plants and animals live in a certain part of the world in their own w 2 . This can be very dangerous to human beings and to the whole world. If there is something wrong w 3 the ecosystem in an area, there will be many serious problems. Take the Great Lakes for example; when f 4 were built along the shores, the waste from them went into the Lakes. This broke the Lake’s ecosystem and the result was terrible: many fish and plants d 5 . When this has happened, people realized that something must be d 6 . Scientists set up a science lab to study the ecosystem of the Lakes, and they found that pollution was killing the Lakes. They did many things to make the ecosystem right again. T 7 , this will not be easy. It will last many years.6.Yesterday my grandfather told me about his early days. When he left school at the age of 20, he found a job in a post office. He worked hard in the post office. Soon he had more money than his friends because of his hard work. It s 1 that he would have a bright future.When he was 25 years ago, however, he began to dislike his job. He wanted a more exciting one, so he left the post office. Two months later he found a new job in a big company. Workers in this company usually traveled a lot. At first he really enjoyed the traveling. But after a year, he began to h 2 it. He had to move around and he was a 3 in a car or on a train. The w 4 thing was that he couldn’t make any new friends. Even so, his boss was not satisfied with him. Two years later he left the company.He was poor at that time so he sold his house. He had to a 5 a part-time job in a book shop. He was surprised to find that he loved it! He made new friends every day and he enjoyed reading books. Three years later, he married the shop owner’s daughter. Soon they had their first child. In the next ten years, they had another three children and four more book shops! He became very rich i 6 .“L 7 is wonderful,” he told me. “The most important thing is that you should always try your best. Never give up!”7.Hawaii is famous for its beautiful beaches. Every year, water sports, especially surfing and water skiing a1 many tourists to the island.Hawaii has been a magical name to people who like to travel for many years. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. In the tropical(热带的) lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the s 2 , and it drops so quickly thatyou can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow(落日余晖) that lights the sky in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, e 3 time walking along the water. Centuries ago, the first tourists to these islands came in canoes(独木舟) not much b 4 than small boats.They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no grand hotels like ones we see today. The first people came to Hawaii n 5 two thousand years ago, but huge hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now planes make it p 6 to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco.W 7 people come from, they really want to see the earlier beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains which are almost hidden by the tall hotels.8.Which country grows the most tea? The answer is India. It grows three times as much as China. Which country drinks the most tea? It’s neither China nor Japan. It’s Great Britain.In the wild, tea plants may be 30 feet tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned(修剪). Pruning keeps the plant only three or four feet tall. This is an easy h 1 for tea picking. Only the two top leaves of each new shoot (芽) are picked. So to make money, tea plantations(种植园) must be huge.In general, there are t 2 kinds of tea, black tea and green tea. They are made in different ways. When black tea is made, it loses nearly all of its healthy qualities. But green tea retains its healthy qualities. For example, it may p 3 heart disease.People used to send tea in tin boxes. This was expensive. Someone thought of a c 4 way. He sent tea in small silk bags. Customers would open the bag. They would put the leaves into a pot as usual. One customer put the bag into a pot. Then he just poured hot water over it. And the tea bag was b 5 .Shen Nung was the first to drink tea. This was about 2737 B.C.. Shen was ill, so he drank several cups of hot water daily. One day something happened. Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot pot. The water was coloured. Shen tasted it. He liked it. He drank it all. Shen was p 6 of this new drink. He served it to his guests. Word s 7 . Since then, tea became the drink of China.9.When I left college, I b 1 a doctor. But I always wanted to travel, and so I made several voyages as a ship’s doctor. After I got married, I stayed at home. As I could not find a good job in my hometown, I decided togo to sea a 2 . This time I joined a ship sailing to the islands in the South Pacific Ocean(南太平洋). At first, e 3 went well. We sailed across the Atlantic(大西洋), round the coast of Africa and into the Indian Ocean. But one day, a s 4 storm hit us and pushed our ship on a rock. The ship was broken into two. I got on a small boat and rowed towards the land. Suddenly a big wave hit the boat. I fell into the ocean again. I struggled to swim, k 5 my head above water. I didn’t know how many hours had passed before my feet touched land. I was so t 6 that I lay down and fell asleep.The next morning, when I woke up, I found that b 7 my hands and feet were fixed to the ground. My long hair was tied to the ground, too. I…I couldn’t move.10.Let kids enjoy their school dinnertime treatSCHOOL dinners aren’t to everyone’s taste, but it seems most Britain people agree that dessert(餐后甜点) was usually the highlight(重要部分)Traditional apple crumble (烤苹果奶酪) and custard (奶油蛋糕) has been named the nation’s favorite school canteen pudding in a s 1 . One in five British voted for the dessert when asked about their memories of school dining.The survey, carried out by online education guide , found that a fifth of women s 2Turn to their favorite school puddings for comfort, because they b 3 back happy memories about time at school.Twenty-eight percent said that today’s schoolchildren are under too much pressure to count calories. Two thirds told researchers it would be disappointing to see traditional puddings d 4 from school menus.They thought schools had a r 5 to let children enjoy them and want to see more children enjoying this element of school life without worrying too much about putting on weight. e 6 Gail Dixon said: “In a time when the focus lies so heavily on diet and nutrition(营养), we were s 7 to see that some old favorites still have a place in our hearts.”。

Lesson 4AD篇阅读理解进阶作业(1)A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）It seems that schools in the U.K. are feeling totally hopeless in dealing with the lateness of some of their students. So now, some have decided that the punishment should go not to the children, but to their parents. Thousands of parents in Hampshire have been fined $80 because their children were late for class more than ten times in a term. The fine will double if it is not paid within 21 days. Dozens of schools across Hampshire have put the new rule into effect, and from this September, another 500 local primary and secondary schools will join them.Similarly, in Islington, London, parents will also face a fine if their children arrive at school late for more than 12 times in six weeks.Parents in Essex, however, will not be fined, but that doesn't mean they won't face trouble if their children are regularly late for school. Several schools there have set up their late-for-school patrols. Parents who send their children to school late will be questioned by officers of the patrols about the reasons for lateness.The Education Department explained, “We don't really want to fine or trouble parents. But indeed we want children to be in school. There just comes a time when we have no their choices. Maybe children are still too young to learn the importance of punctuality. So we’re afraid that parents, especially those who send their children to school, need to take the responsibility.”Parents, of course, are not happy about the new rules. They don't think getting fined or questioned will be a good way to solve the old problem. Besides, to some poor families, $80 may be a lot.1.Schools in parts of the U.K. will punish __________for students’ lateness.A. the parentsB. the studentsC. both the parents and the studentsD. the teachers2.Parents in ________ will be fined if their children are often late for school.A. Hampshire and IslingtonB. Hampshire and EssexC. Islington and EssexD. Hampshire, Islington and Essex3.Parents in Hampshire will have to pay ________more if they don't pay the fine within 21 days.A. $60B. $80C. $160D. $1804.The underlined word “punctuality” in paragraph 5 probably means “_______”A. arriving at school earlyB. arriving at school lateC. arriving at school on timeD. arriving at school with parents5.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Parents in Hampshire will not face a fine if their children are late for class eight times in aterm.B. Parents in Islington will be fined if their children are late for class more than two times aweek.C. The Education Department has no other choices but to fine or trouble parents.D. Parents are not very supportive of the new rules.6.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?A. Hopeless students’ latenessB. Punishment to parents for kids’ latenessC.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy circle．During the hours when you are working, you may say that you’re hot. That’s true. For some people, the energy peak（高峰）comes in the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such words as, “Get up, John. You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has．You can’t change your energy cycle but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habits can help. Dr. Kleitman believe maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up later than you want anyway. Counteract（抵抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually（习惯地）staying up later than you want to. If your energy is slow in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll work better at your low point．Try to have a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn and stretch.

It went along the north of China, India, and Persia and ended up in Eastern Europe near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea.It was called the Silk Road because one of the major products traded was silk cloth from China. Chinese silk was soft and of high quality. So people throughout Asia and Europe loved it very much. The Chinese sold silk for thousands of years. Besides silk, the Chinese also sold teas, salt, sugar, porcelain(陶瓷), and spices. Most of the goods was expensive. This was because it was a long trip and traders didn't have a lot of room for goods.Traders traveled in large caravans. They would have many guards with them. Traveling in a big group like a caravan helped in protecting themselves. Most of the road was through dry land. So camels were popular animals for transport.The silk trade developed quickly during the Han Dynasty which ruled from 206 BC to 220 AD. Later, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, trade along the Silk Road was fully developed. During this time the Mongols controlled most of the trade road, and Chinese traders travelled safely. Also, traders had a higher social position during the Mongol rule.The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route（路线）. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. Today, China is trying to build the“21st Century Marine（海洋的）Silk Road”. With the help of APEC held in Beijing in November 2014, the dream of One Belt One Road（the “Silk Road Economic（经济的）Belt”and“21st Century Marine Silk Road” ）（“一带一路”）is coming true.1.The Silk Road got its name because of silk cloth traded from China, didn’t it?（1分）____________________________________________________________________________ 2.Why was most of the goods the Chinese sold expensive?（2分）____________________________________________________________________________ 3.What changes did the Mongols bring to the traders during the Yuan Dynasty?（2分）____________________________________________________________________________ 4.Do people still travel the old Silk Road routes?（2分）____________________________________________________________________________ plete the following sentence with only ONE word.（2分）The Silk Road was a very important line of ________ connecting East and West.6.Do you know why China is trying to build the“21st Century Marine Silk Road” according tothe passage?
