A two-day weekend can get them 4 from too much schoolwork, and they can do what they like. But still teachers do not think about it.5 they have too much schoolwork, they have no time to enjoy themselves. Students are really tired of their weekend homework. So they usually don't do their week end homework6 Sunday night. And there is not enough time but much work; students have to finish it carelessly. The7 weekend homework makes teachers angry.Things always get 8 without right ideas. Too much schoolwork makes students lose interest in learning.

So much more is to be learned 4 school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by 5 than to memorize(熟记)some facts or formula (公式). It is 6 quite easy to learn a 7 fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in 8 out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn't learn many things from school.

This may be why many of the books regarded as 7 of children's literature(文学)were in fact written for 8 --Alice inWonderland is perhaps the most obvious(明显)of this.Children, left for themselves, often are not interested in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 9 and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative (并非想象的) way, or have a look at the most children's comics(连环图书), full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and right-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop 10 to brainwash(洗脑) children into accepting(接受)our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise(妥协)over the bedtime story.( ) 1.

But it is good for us to take risks, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired(渴望的) result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear to move on. This is because they failed a few times in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back from living lif e to the fullest. Move forward and move on! In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides us with the desire toexperiment and take chances.Risk taking is a great advantage that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories(领土). This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity. Even each person seems to enjoy the risk although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological (生物学的) connection creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk, too. We need to take risks so that we can complete many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket(火箭); however, the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they could not make more money.We need to take risks so that we can gain(获得) something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the most important parts of life.41. Some people don’t want to take risks, mainly because ___________.A. they are too lazy to move onB. they feel pleased with the present lifeC. they have failed several times beforeD. they show little interest in the strange world outside42. What does the underlined part “This attitude” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Taking risksB. Fighting off enemiesC. Discovering new territoriesD. Becoming stronger and stronger43. What can we infer from the passage?A. Daily life is full of risks.B. The safest place has the greatest risk.C. People should take risks when they are young.D. We can always achieve our goals by taking risks.44. Businessmen take a risk in order to __________.A. sell parts of a companyB. complete many thingsC. make more moneyD. get inside a rocket45. What would be the title for the passage?A. Taking risks is easier said than doneB. Risks taken by ancestorsC. Live our life to the fullestD. No risk, no gain.【答案】41---45 CAACD3. We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, and thousands of students across China took part in it.Wh at are the hopes of teenagers?We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work a s soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studyingafter finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular ch oice of job is computer programming.What are the dreams of teenagers?Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day.According to the survey, less realistic drea ms are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one students said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!ConclusionIt was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.41.

The onlylanguage easy to learn is the mother language. And think3practice is needed forthat. Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language to studythe literature (文学)of the country. Now most people want t04 a foreign language. Every year millions of people start learning it.How do they do it? Some people try at home 5 _ books and tapes, others go to evening classes or watch TV programs. If they use the language only twice or threetimes a week, learning it will6 a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 0r _ 7hours a day. It's mucheasier to learn the language in the country where it8. But most people are _9to do this, and many people don't have to do so. Machines and good books will be veryhelpful, but they can not do the students' work.10the language is learned quicklyor slowly, it depends on hard work.() 1. A. so B. or C. and D. but() 2.

Others go to school to learn a skill so that they canla living.School education is very important and useful.Yet no one canlearn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he 2 , can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his studentshow to read and how to _ 3 . So much more is to be learned 4 school by thestudents themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by5than to memorize( 熟记)some facts or formula( 公式 ). It is6quite easy to learn a7 fact in history ora formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in 80ut a mathsproblem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn't learn many things from school. But they were all so successful that they invented so many things for mankind.The9 for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books thatwere not 10 _ at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a singlemoment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands ofresearches.( ) 1. A. make B. do C. have D. get ( ) 2.

Then count how many times you'veexpressed clearly you were2. You can't go to bed with an easy mind if you do3about it.My friend, a doctor, Mr Lied, told me about a man who came to him with differentkinds of signs: headaches, heart trouble and insomnia ( 失眠 ). After some careful exams, Mr Lied found nothing4with him and said, "If you don't tell me what'sworrying you, I can't help you. " The man admitted he was cheating his brother of hisinheritance( 遗产 ).

And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a2children's book. Either the author has aimed ( 定目标 ) too high, so that children can't follow whatis in his (or more often, her) story,3the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best children's books are4very difficult nor very simple, and can satisfyc 令人满意的 ) the child who hears the story and the adult( 成年人 ) wh0 5 it.Unfortunately( 不幸的是 ), there are in fact few books like this,6the problem offinding the right bedtime story is not easy to solve.This may be why many of the books regarded as70f children's literature (文学)were in fact written for8. Alicein Wonderland is perhaps the most obvious( 明显 )of this.Children, left for themselves, often are not interested in literature. Just leave achild in a bookshop or a9and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative( 并非想象的) way, or have a look at the most children's comics (连环图书), full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and right-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop10to brainwash( 洗脑 ) children into accepting (接受 ) our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so different that weparents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books.So I suppose we'll justhave to compromise( 妥协 )over the bedtime story.() 1.
