But in the rich world, childrencan from a different kind of poverty — of thespirit. , one Weste[1]rn country alone now sees 14, 000 attempted suicides ( 自杀 ) every year by children under 15, and one child five needs psychiatric (心理上的) advice.There are many good things about in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbors working and often shares in that work..A child in this way learns his or her role throughjoining in the community's ：helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies -- rather than playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets playing with dolls.These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, , are provided with a watch as one of the signs of growing up, so that they can along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows …Third World children do not usually to stay indoors,still less in high-rise apartments. Instead of dangerous roads, "keep off the grass" signs and "don't speak to strangers", there is often asense of to study and play.

Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking , British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks ,the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To dothis ,the device helps with the slowing sown movement of the leg, the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also he used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers(起博器), it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy, but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version, An improved version should be ready in one year.The[3]developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of theUniversity of Pennsylvania, He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.36.. The second paragraph mainly talks aboutA. who developed the deviceB. how the device worksC. several possible uses for the devicesD. how much electricity the device can produce37.. What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?A. It is too heavy for the walker to bearB. It is too complex for people to useC. It is too expensive for most people to affordD. It will slow down one’s walking speed38.. Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new deviceA. produces power without adding more loads to the walkerB. can produce more power in a much shorter timeC. needs to be equipped with a batteryD. can help the walker walk faster39.. From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device canA. help housewives operate the washing machineB. make it much easier for us to go onlineC. produce more electricity than that invented by Larry RomeD. be applied in medical fields to operate heart pacemakersBWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic (酸性的). To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat . Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism(新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and then result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this vicious(恶性的) circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize (使…中和)the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and wholefoods can help. it’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and co[4]nsume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself , you need to take an active approach..40.. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advocate eating more raw and whole foodsB. To tell the differences between raw and processed foodsC. To inform people of the harm of processed foodsD. To warn people of the problem of obesity41.. It can be inferred from Para. 2 thatA. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsB. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitC. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle42.. Processed foods are unhealthy because theyA. destroy body’s cellsB. are difficult to digestC. may lead to obesityD. stop body’s metabolism43.. What can we learn from the text?A. Processed foods are good for our appetite mechanismB. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods does good to our bodyC. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion more effectiveD. Processed foods also comfort the digestive tractCOf the thousands of different kinds of animals that exist in the world man has learned to make friends with an enormous number. Some are pets, and offer him companionship, some give protection, and some do hard work which man can not do for himself. Dogs , which serve man in all three capacities(能力), are found in various species in all countries of the world. The Husky can live in the cold polar regions,and the Saluki is at home in the hottest parts of Central Africa.The inhabitants (居民)of certain countries are dependent for their very lives on the camel. In the West Indies the little donkey, strong and sure-footed, carrying heavy loads even in mountainous, places, is a familiar sight.Trained and tamed for many generations, domestic animals are not accustomed to roaming in search of food and shelter. They look to their masters to provide for their needs, and as long as these are supplied, they are content to do what their masters require.All domestic animals need proper food .It must be suitable for them, sufficient in quantity, fresh and clean. Some people feed a pet dogor cat on odds and ends of table scraps(剩饭), and then wonder whythe animal seems tired and dull. The quantity of food depends on the size of the animal and the amount of exercise it takes. Overfeedingis as bad as underfeeding. Containers for food and water must be washed regularly if the animal is to maintain good health.Even well-cared-for animals may sometimes fall ill. If this happens, the wise master seeks the best advice he can get. All sorts of medicines and treatments are available for sick animals, and in some countries organizations exist to provide them free of at a cheap price. Useful, friendly, hardworking animals deserve to have some time, money and attention spent on their health.44.What main idea does the author want to convey in the first paragraph?A. There exists thousands of species of animals in the world.B. Man came to establish a close relationship with a number of animals.C. In some regions a donkey seems to be a very useful beast.D. An animal will be useless unless domesticated.45.When an animal doe sn’t get enough food, it will probablyA. refuse to obey its masterB. immediately fall illC. require its master to offer some foodD. seek for food on it[5]s own46.Which of the following is NOT true of dogs according to the passage?A. They can act as friends, guards ,and servants to man.B. They have great adaptation for the environment.C. There live a great variety of species of dogs on the globe.D. The Husky and the Saluki are the strongest species ever known in the world47.To keep a domestic animal physically fit, its owner is advisedA. not to hesitate to spend enormous amount of money on itB. to pay attention to its proper feedingC. not to allow it to take excessive amounts of exerciseD. to join some sort of pet-keeping organizationsDLooking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists areborn and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental math.Before World War I we spent out summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim(模糊的)memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys, Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into various investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye ,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack, A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.48.The author says that his a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks heA. just reads about other people’s observations and discoveriesB. lacks some of the qualities required of scientistC. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticD. comes up with solutions in most natural ways.49.The author can’t remember his clearly becauseA. He didn’t live very long with themB. He was too young when he lived with themC. The family was extremely largeD. He was fully occupied with observing nature50.Which of the following statements is true?A. The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientistB. The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industryC. The author’s brothers and si sters were good at music and languagesD. The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.七选五阅读The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂). 51 Separateness, according to psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.52 It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” means love for another person: unselfish love not d[6]ependent upon your own needs. D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s abilityto satisfy your needs.D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needscontinue to be met. But B-love isunconditional. 53 Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love. 54 Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love. Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say, “I love you because I need you,” but the mature one:“ 55 ”A.There are two types of love.B.I need you because I love you.C.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling.D.Every one of us needs love.E.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.F.They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.G.These two types are quite different from each other.第II卷(非选择题)短文改错Maria was afraid that she was going to have to deliver a bad news to her friendFreddy.

Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources〔资源〕：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide〔二氧化碳〕in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.21. What does the word “this〞 underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.22. It can be inferred from the text thatA. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns23. What might be the best title for the text?A. How to Save RainforestsB. How to Protect NatureC. Rainforests and the EnvironmentD. Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentBThe brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego. The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. Itis a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula. However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other GulfCoast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches. Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots, mail boxes, entry way corners, under eaves, storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furniture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned. One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms of a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders. There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreational items like sports equipment (i.e., baseball gloves) and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted.24. The author wrote this article to _______.A. announce the result of a research on spidersB. introduce the ways to get rid of the spidersC. report a new finding of the widow speciesD. warn readers against the brown widow25. From the passage we can conclude that _______.A. brown widows are spreading northwardB. the brown widow originated from AfricaC. brown widows now can be found in all countriesD. there used to be no brown widows in North America26. The third paragraph is mainly about _______.A. the brown widow’s web buildingB. the characteristics of the brown widowC. the habitat preferences of the brown widowD. the brown widow’s threaten to human beings27. It can be inferred that _______.A. brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicalsB. at present people can only control brown widow spidersC. the brown widow has more poison than the black widowD. victims bitten by the brown widow needn’t see the doctorCThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United states. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent youngsingers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets da rk at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.28. This passage mainly introduces _______.A. a mountain cityB. young musiciansC. an opera houseD. the tourism in Santa Fe29. Yong singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because _______.A. the music quality is highB. they enjoy the climate thereC. they want to be famousD. they like the scenery there30. It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because _______.A. it is only a very small placeB. it is between the mountain and desertC. all the seats are sold for every showD. musicians there are from the best orchestras31. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. the opera house is open without any roofsB. musicians always spend vacations in Santa FeC. the government advertises to attract more musiciansD. performances are held in Santa Fe only after it is darkDMy father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.〞 Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.〞He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?〞A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own l etters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear ----as mine was until my father’s letter----is of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them.I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.〞 Nothaving that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.32. We learn from the text that the author .A. lost his father when he was youngB. worked hard before he read his father’s letterC. asked his father permission to believe in himselfD. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do33. What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?A. Children need their parents’ letters.B. Children are afraid to be disappointed.C. His children’s fear of failure held them back.D. His father’s letter removed his fear of failing his parents.34. Which of the following is true of the author?A. He got no access to success.B. He wrote back to his father at 12.C. He was sure his parents loved him.D. He once asked his father about the letter.35. The main purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe children’s thinkingB. answer some questions children haveC. stress the importance of communicationD. advise parents to encourage their children第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

Driving 140 kilometers from Tianjin City toBeijing last week, she held her breath as the air became a charcoal grey haze(炭灰色的阴霾).The 39-year-old businesswoman has lived in Beijing for a decade, and this past month, she said, brought the worst air pollution she has ever seen It gave her husband a cough and left her seven-year-old daughter housebound(足不出户).―My husband as well as I is working here, so we have no choice,‖ she said. ―But if we had a choice, we'd like to escape from Beijing.‖The extended heavy pollution over the last month, which caused punishment in return for a day last week－called the ―airpocalypse‖ by internet users－has largely changed the way that Chinese think about the country's air. On one day, pollution levels were 30 times higher than levels considered safe by the World Health Organization (WHO).Flights were cancelled. Roads were closed. One hospital in east Beijing reported they had treated more than 900 children for breathing issues. Bloomberg found that for most of January, Beijing's air was worse than that of an airport smoking area.The smog's(烟雾) most threatening aspect is its high concentration(浓度) of PM 2.5 －particulate matter that is small enough to breathe deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, causing breathing infections, lung cancer and possibly damaging children's development. The WHO has estimated that outdoor air pollution accounts for two million deaths per year, 65% of them in Asia.1. Which conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?A.

ANearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board”signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research.One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers.The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board”signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash.“This help can bee negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，”she said.“Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs.Drivers’priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”A survey arranged by price parison website Confused. found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety.But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value.The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’signs.They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue，”said a Confused. spokesman.21．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?A．They can be dangerous.B．They are useful to avoid accidents.C．They are weled by passengers.D．They are forbidden to be used.22．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Uninteresting. D．Objective.23．According to the survey，most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs_____.A．can improve safety B．are unnecessaryC．can make drivers clear D．can kill time24．What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem.B．To describe a threat to traffic safety.C．To tell an interesting story.D．To persuade drivers to drive safely.B“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm.A new book written by a self­described Chinese descent(血统)on her super­strict parenting—BattleHymnoftheTigerMother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls.She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent.In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleep­over，be ina school play，watch TV or play puter games.They couldn't choose their ownafter­class activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments.She writes that if a Chinese child gets aB—which she says“would never happen”—there would be“a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7­year­old daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style.But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus said，“I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)of a good life.But I can imagine how strong her daughters' college applications are going to be.For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a petitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the US­basedHeraldnet..“In that sense，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.25．According to the passage，which is TRUE of Amy Chua?A．She is an easy­going woman.B．She is an assistant professor.C．She is a demanding parent.D．She is a cruel teacher.26．Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?A．Playing the piano.B．Playing the guitar.C．Dating with boys.D．Getting an A minus.27.．Stacy DeBroff advised parents to________.A．seek a better future for their childrenB．develop their own style of parentingC．be strict with their childrenD．follow Amy Chua's parenting style28．Alison Lo concluded that________.A．persistent，dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting styleB．parents should respect children's personalitiesC．a gifted child was born with talentD．a teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parentingCAbout 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry;“Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who e to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.”Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
