A
Certainly, a well-rounded education is the
foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am
grateful to the many incredible teachers who
have inspired me to do greater things, and have
fired
my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!
I have also been honoured to have the most
amazing teachers in all of my children's lives.
These are extraordinary people who not only
teach our children, but love them, challenge
them,
and provide an environment where a
child learns how to learn.
But, sometimes I
wonder if the outline of our educational plan is
lacking something. I
watched the movie Easy A
with my older daughter. The main character's
parents were loving,
supportive, and built
great confidence in their daughter and developed
her ability to handle her
own problems.
There was a scene where the mother was
speaking to the younger child and he announced
that he received an “A” on his spelling test.
She replied. “That's great, honey, but everything
has
spell check these days.” It was funny－but
TRUE! I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our
children how to spell, but maybe some of our
time should be spent educating them about the
dangers of posting things on Facebook.
Maybe we might want to spend time showing them
how real life works－the credit card isn't
free
money－you will have to pay it back at sometime.
Oh, and get this－they charge you for
borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend
some time on interpersonal relationships. I
worry that our kids do not know how to relate
to one another.
Choosing a career is a
daunting task. My daughter is in her second year
in college and has
changed her major twice.
It's not that she didn't know what she wanted to
do. What she
“wanted to do” and the degree
she chose did not match.
I have learned many
college students do not know what they want to do
because they haven't
seen what it looks like
in the real world. Being a journalist in the real
world looks very different
from writing
stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them
to real life experience－maybe
two or three
courses in areas of interest in high school that
give them a “feel” for what that
particular
field would look like, they might be better
prepared. I do not know the solution, but it
seems that it should at least be a topic of
discussion.
1. Why does the author mention the
movie Easy A?
A. To prove the importance of
book learning.
B. To show the parents'
ignorance of spelling.
C. To lead to the topic
he is going to talk about.
D. To share with
the readers his feeling about the movie.
2.
The author believes that __________.
A.
students need to focus on the skills in learning
B. parents and school should be consistent in
education
C. his daughter is smart enough to
make her own choice
D. courses in areas of
interest in high schools will benefit students
3. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph
6 probably means __________.
A. discouraging
B. specific
C. rewarding D. regular
4.
What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A.
Schools should prepare students for the real life.
B. What students learn in school should be
practiced in life.
C. Life experience is of
greater importance than school education.
D.
Students should spend more time discussing
practical problems.

答案：A
B
You've flown halfway around the
world; you've sniffed out this place that nobody
in
Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever
heard of; so what on earth is there to do here?
You
consider this question as you sink into an
old wooden beach chair above the sand.
It was
a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the
time you found the bus station and
got
yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the
flight from Falongland.
Huaplee is located
just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred
kilometres from Bangkok, down
the west side of
the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this
place, and the ones that do
wonder if finding
it has been their purpose all along.
There's
an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It's
what this place offers, and it's free
of
charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline
seem to slow everything down. You settle into
your beach chair in preparation for a long
rest. You sit there and watch the sea.
It's
early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks
what you'd like to eat this evening.
Before
long he's rushed off to the market to buy the
ingredients for whatever it was that you
ordered－every meal fresh and to order. No menu
here.
There is no poolside noise here but just
that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There's no
street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs
of nature.
For now you just count your
blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your
toe (脚趾).
You don't have to worry about being
late for work. You don't have to do anything.
The beach to your right stretches off to the
horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to
nothingness
only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily
widening until it covers the chair
beneath
you. Sand to your left and sand to your right;
it's unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just
sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-
enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and
hurry.
Normally you're the type who can't sit
still for more than ten minutes, but you're on
Huaplee
Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame
of mind, it stretches all the way around the
world.
“How could it take me so long to find
it？” you wonder.
1. When the author first went
to Huaplee Beach, __________.
A. he had
difficulty in finding it
B. he became
sensitive to smell
C. he failed too sort
himself out
D. he found it unworthwhile
2.
What is special about the food service at Huaplee
Beach?
A. Quick delivery. B. Self service.
C. Free food. D. No menu.
3. In the
author's opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee
Beach most when he __________.
A. draws
pictures in the sand
B. plans a detailed
schedule
C. forgets his daily routine
D.
sits in a beach chair
4. What does the author
imply by his question at the end of the passage?
A. He should have come to the place earlier.
B. He shouldn't have spent so much time on the
trip.
C. He should have understood the wonder
of nature.
D. He shouldn't have counted the
blessings.

答案：A
C
A 15-year-old boy
planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his
mouth and set it on fire.
He would film the
dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, he
hoped to become famous on
the Internet.
But things didn't go the way he imagined. His
clothing caught fire, and he was
rushed to the
hospital with serious burns on his body.
YouTube hosts millions of videos of people
attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are
by kids and young adults. Some experts say
that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages
young viewers to take deadly risks. Research
by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
shows that more than 180,000 Americans die
from accidental injuries each year. That's one
person
every three minutes. More than 14,000
of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is
YouTube to
blame?
People have always found
it interesting to watch others try risky things.
Audiences love these
kinds of things. Some of
the earliest Greek comedies had characters
followed by wild animals and
knocking into
walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone
with a camera and a YouTube account
can create
this kind of “fun”. Many viewers, especially
teenagers, are influenced by what they see
and
want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the
playing in the neighborhood to a
worldwide
level，” says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from
the Centers.
Supporters of YouTube argue that
it isn't YouTube's responsibility to examine its
content.
“Parents should be the ones to make
sure that kids are behaving safely，” they say. In
fact,
YouTube has a rule on content. For
example, dangerous activities that have a risk of
serious
physical harm or death are not
allowed. Staff of YouTuhe, carefully watch the
website 24 hours a
day, looking for videos
that are against their rules. But is this enough?
1. What happened to the 15-year-old boy?
A. He got burnt in a traffic accident.
B.
He played with fire and burned himself.
C. He
set fire to a ball by accident.
D. He watched
an action film on YouTube.
2. What do Clair
Mellenthin's words suggest?
A. YouTube should
examine kids' accounts.
B. YouTube users like
to copy Greek comedies.
C. YouTube affects
people greatly.
D. YouTube has a positive
influence on teenagers globally.
3. According
to the last paragraph, the author seems to believe
that __________.
A. YouTube should do more to
make sure of kids' safety
B. parents should be
strict with their kids
C. YouTube should make
a rule on content
D. parents shouldn't allow
their kids to take risks
4. The passage mainly
discusses __________.
A. how to prevent
accidental injuries
B. how to become famous on
the Internet
C. whether YouTube should be open
to kids
D. whether YouTube should show
dangerous videos
