Giving kids chores(家庭杂务)not only helps your relax, but also encourages teamwork and discipline. They get to understand they are playing an important role in the family."Most of the problems here come from the words we use. There's a big difference between 'doing chores' and just 'helping out' around the house." says Sarah Ockwell, author of ToddlerCalm."Chores are a normal part of everyday life and it is important that children learn to understand this as young as possible. Children need to understand that they are expected to do something for all parts of family life," she adds.Chors may make them consider the time you spend on keeping the home clean and tidy. They may be a little more thoughtful to care about your work, perhaps even putting their dirty clothes in the washing basket rather than just put them on their bedroom floor.Children are pretty egocentric, and they only think about themselves a lot of the time. However,they also like to rece4ive praise for their actions. So doing chores gives them the chance to be helpful and do something for others but not just for themselves.It's good for a child's self-esteem to be given a task to do, even if it's making their bed. Chores give a child confidence in their own abilities and teach them skills they'll need in later life, like using the washing machine and cleaning the toilet."It also teaches them responsibility, and how to look after themselves," says Liz who's also the author of ToodlerCalm. "These are important life skills, not least in how to not be a spoiled, selfish child!"26. What does Sarah Ockwell mainly suggest ?A. Children should learn how to do some chores.B. Children should realize it's necessary for them to chores.C. Parents should use the right language in family life.D.Family problems should be solved in order to help children.27. According to Paragraph 3, chores________A. make children easily come up with fresh ideasB. make parents like helping their children.C.help children develop important life skillsD.help children to correct their bad habits.28.According to the passage, the following are mentioned except_____A."Doing chores" is not the same as "helping out"B.Children can learn to be responsible by doing some chores.C.Confidence can be built up if children like doing chores.D.Children will only care about themselves if they don't do chores.29. What is Liz's attitude(态度)towards chores for children?A.He supports it.B. He doubts it.C.He dislikes it.D.He questions it.30.What may the author continue to discuss in the following text?A. How chores do good to a childB. Why children need to do chores at homeC.How to get a child to help around the house.D.What children usually expect from their parents.BGood news for book lovers.

These places are truly natural wonders, like no other places on Earth. Various people and organizations have made lots of different lists over the years ranking these places of natural wonders. However, by looking at the various lists that certain organizations have made over the years, a handful of places come up time and time again. Thus, a list of the top seven natural wonders as recognized by most organizations can be created.Two of the most commonly listed natural wonders are found at or below sea level. One of these wonders is the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. The reef is actually a collection of about 2800 reefs and more than 600 islands.One of the reasons that the Great Barrier Reef is a wonder is because it is the largest structure on Earth made by living organisms. Another of the world’s wonders at sea level is Brazil’s Harbor of Rio de Janerio. In addition to its natural beauty, this place is a wonder because it it the world’s largest bay based on the amount of water in it. It is also unique because of the surrounding mountains and rock formations.Two more of the world’s wonders are related to river. Both wonders are not the rivers themselves, but what is created by each river. One is the Grand Canyon, which was cut through the landscape of the southern United States by the Colorado River. The other is Victoria Falls, which is made by the Zambezi River along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. As this river flows over a cliff, it becomes a waterfall that is 1.7 kilometers wide and 108 meters high. This is the world’s largest waterfall ranked by the amount of water flowing over it.The next two wonders of the natural world are mountains. Paricutin is a volcano in Mexico that is nearly 3000 meters high. The reason that this volcano has been voted a natural wonder is because people actually watched its birth and growth in the 1940s! the volcano’s last eruption was in 1952. Then, of course, the world’s tallest mountain, Mt. Qomolangma, should of course also be added to the list of natural wonders. Located between China and Nepal, this mountain reaches to a height of more than 8800 meters above sea level.That leaves one more natural wonders to add to the list. This last wonder is quite different than the others. Unlikethe other six natural wonders, this one cannot be seen all the time as it comes and goes from day to day. The seventh natural wonder that most people agree on is the Aurora Borealis, which a person has a good chance of seeing in the sky at the North Pole. It is also known as the Northern Lights.41. Where does the list of wonders in the passage come from?A.An international organizationB.Places found on many other lists.C.A list of popular paces for touristsD.The oldest list of natural wonders.42.Which district is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.AustraliaB.EuropeC.America43. In what order are the natural wonders shown?A.Least popular to most popularB.Lowest to highest.C.Oldest to youngetstD.Smallest to largest44. What makes Paricutin in Mexico a natural wonder?A.Its beautyB.Its plants.C.Its creation.D.Its size.45.

You can do this by taking out”unimportant” l etters in the words and using numbers instead of words(2=to, 3=free, 4=for, 8=ate, h8=hate,etc.). You can also keep away from using punctuation (标点符号). Here is an example: Do u wnt 2 g 2 th cnma tnit? (Do you want go to the cinema tonight?)Mobile phone users have developed a group of symbols to show how they feel. They are called emoticons （情感符号), and there are some examples below. To read an emotion, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message that is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face, like this: Why didn’t you call me? I’m so sad.:-(.Here are some others. Can you think of text messages where you could use them?:-) laughing; :-( sad; :-< really sad; :-v shouting; 1-1 asleep; 8-1 surprised; ^-0 bored.46.Why are text messages popular?A. Because they are expensive.B. Because they can save money.C. Because they are hard to write.D. Because they are not important.47. The first paragraph tells us that we can make the text messages shorter in ________ ways.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four48. The text message “Do U wnt 2 cks?” means “________” .A. Do you want to come?B. Do you wear two caps?C. Do you want two cakes?D. Do you go home early?49. Why do people use emotions?A. Because they can show how the users feel.B. Because the symbols are beautiful.C. Because the text messages are short.D. Because the users can ’t make the words shorter.50. If you want to say someone is happy. You could use the symbol “________” in the text message.A. :-)B. :-(C. :-vD. 1-1(B)Mr and Mrs Brown have two children, Mike and Liz.

Giving kids chores(家庭杂务)not only helps your relax, but also encourages teamwork and discipline. They get to understand they are playing an important role in the family."Most of the problems here come from the words we use. There's a big difference between 'doing chores' and just 'helping out' around the house." says Sarah Ockwell, author of ToddlerCalm."Chores are a normal part of everyday life and it is important that children learn to understand this as young as possible. Children need to understand that they are expected to do something for all parts of family life," she adds.Chors may make them consider the time you spend on keeping the home clean and tidy. They may be a little more thoughtful to care about your work, perhaps even putting their dirty clothes in the washing basket rather than just put them on their bedroom floor.Children are pretty egocentric, and they only think about themselves a lot of the time. However,they also like to rece4ive praise for their actions. So doing chores gives them the chance to be helpful and do something for others but not just for themselves.It's good for a child's self-esteem to be given a task to do, even if it's making their bed. Chores give a child confidence in their own abilities and teach them skills they'll need in later life, like using the washing machine and cleaning the toilet."It also teaches them responsibility, and how to look after themselves," says Liz who's also the author of ToodlerCalm. "These are important life skills, not least in how to not be a spoiled, selfish child!"26. What does Sarah Ockwell mainly suggest ?A. Children should learn how to do some chores.B. Children should realize it's necessary for them to chores.C. Parents should use the right language in family life.D.Family problems should be solved in order to help children.27. According to Paragraph 3, chores________A. make children easily come up with fresh ideasB. make parents like helping their children.C.help children develop important life skillsD.help children to correct their bad habits.28.According to the passage, the following are mentioned except_____A."Doing chores" is not the same as "helping out"B.Children can learn to be responsible by doing some chores.C.Confidence can be built up if children like doing chores.D.Children will only care about themselves if they don't do chores.29. What is Liz's attitude(态度)towards chores for children?A.He supports it.B. He doubts it.C.He dislikes it.D.He questions it.30.What may the author continue to discuss in the following text?A. How chores do good to a childB. Why children need to do chores at homeC.How to get a child to help around the house.D.What children usually expect from their parents.BGood news for book lovers. The following four books are sure to benefit(使...受益)you and your kids greatly!Beauty and the beast:les Petits FairytalesThis modern retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale has been created with little readers in mind, through unique and colorful illustrations(插图).If little kids are already fans of the classic Disney princess films, they'lllove seeing the original versions in storybook form.Andy Warhol So Many StarsIf parents are hoping their little kids will turn their scribbles(涂鸦) into actual works of art someday, them they're going to turn to this Andy Warhol-illustrated board book.The end features a distorting mirror for little ones tomake silly faces.Mini Myths: Be patient, Pandora!Forget about bedtime and give little kids a lesson on Greek history!(Just kidding!)

These places are truly natural wonders, like no other places on Earth. Various people and organizations have made lots of different lists over the years ranking these places of natural wonders. However, by looking at the various lists that certain organizations have made over the years, a handful of places come up time and time again. Thus, a list of the top seven natural wonders as recognized by most organizations can be created.Two of the most commonly listed natural wonders are found at or below sea level. One of these wonders is the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. The reef is actually a collection of about 2800 reefs and more than600 islands.One of the reasons that the Great Barrier Reef is a wonder is because it is the largest structure on Earth made by living organisms. Another of the world’s wonders at sea level is Brazil’s Harbor of Rio de Janerio. In addition to its natural beauty, this place is a wonder because it it the world’s largest bay based on the amount of water in it. It is also unique because of the surrounding mountains and rock formations.Two more of the world’s wonders are related to river. Both wonders are not the rivers themselves, but what is created by each river. One is the Grand Canyon, which was cut through the landscape of the southern United States by the Colorado River. The other is Victoria Falls, which is made by the Zambezi River along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. As this river flows over a cliff, it becomes a waterfall that is 1.7 kilometers wide and 108 meters high. This is the world’s largest waterfall ranked by the amount of water flowing over it.The next two wonders of the natural world are mountains. Paricutin is a volcano in Mexico that is nearly 3000 meters high. The reason that this volcano has been voted a natural wonder is because people actually watched its birth and growth in the 1940s! the volcano’s last eruption was in 1952. Then, of course, the world’s tallest mountain, Mt. Qomolangma, should of course also be added to the list of natural wonders. Located between China and Nepal, this mountain reaches to a height of more than 8800 meters above sea level.That leaves one more natural wonders to add to the list. This last wonder is quite different than the others. Unlikethe other six natural wonders, this one cannot be seen all the time as it comes and goes from day to day. Theseventh natural wonder that most people agree on is the Aurora Borealis, which a person has a good chance ofseeing in the sky at the North Pole. It is also known as the Northern Lights.41. Where does the list of wonders in the passage come from?A.An international organizationB.Places found on many other lists.C.A list of popular paces for touristsD.The oldest list of natural wonders.42.Which district is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.AustraliaB.EuropeC.America43. In what order are the natural wonders shown?A.Least popular to most popularB.Lowest to highest.C.Oldest to youngetstD.Smallest to largest44. What makes Paricutin in Mexico a natural wonder?A.Its beautyB.Its plants.C.Its creation.D.Its size.45. What does the underlined work"eruption" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.爆发B.坍塌C.风化D.断裂第二节阅读填空Moving to School in a different AreaIt’s never easy moving schools.Once you’ve started at the new school there are little tips and tricks you could try to help you fit in and make new friends easily.Always be yourself.
