Do you still know where in the world people take drugs before going to work? The answers are simpleordinary people, just about everywhere. And the drug in question is caffeine. Scientists estimate that over 90 percent of the worlds population take caffeine daily. Adults drink it in tea and coffee. Children drink it in Coca Cola and similar soft drinks. It is also found in chocolate. As a result, most people in most places across the world at any time are under the influence of the drug. Not surprisingly there have been many scientific studies into the exact effects of caffeine. Most agree that it stimulates (刺激)the nervous system and helps the body make efficient use of food energy. This is why many people across Asia drink tea with food and why westerners often eat their meals with a cup of coffee. The general result of caffeine is to make people more alert and focused. Unlike alcohol, caffeine does not change your behavior. But it does increase your ability to do things. Both tea and coffee were introduced to the West around 300 years ago. The effect of these new drinks was felt immediately. In London, coffee houses were filled with people making plans, talking business and doing deals. The coffee houses themselves later developed into Londons financial center. And the deals done in the coffee houses were partly responsible for a rapid increase in British trade. History was moving in that direction anyway. But the arrival of coffee sped everything up.Smith and White back up their claims with scientific research which shows that frequent use of caffeine causes people to grow new brain cells. They also point to research which shows that people with caffeine in their system perform a range of tasks better than those without it. Without caffeine ,would the human race come so far and so fast?Caffeine helped the West make a great leap forward a few hundred years ago. In China and Japan, it has been around for far longer than that in the form of tea. It could go back further than people realize. The Japanese tea ceremony might be an example of what anthropologists(人类学家) call “ceremonial chemistry”. This is a practice amongst ancient and primitive peoples of taking mind altering drugs as part of religious festivities. Tea has around 50% less caffeine in it than coffee, and there are real differences between and coffee drinking cultures. In Britain, the only European tea drinking culture, workers have been known to go on strike to demand a ten-minute tea break in the working day. Tea gives people enough caffeine to help put up with a boring job or help them recover after a hard day. It is something to share with friends. You build relationships over a cup of tea. But you get results with coffee. Coffee gives you that extra dose of caffeine. It is associated with staying up all night to finish a business plan or study for exams.56.What effect does caffeine NOT have? _ _.A. Stimulating the nervous system B. Helping the body make efficient use of food energyC. Changing peoples behavior D. Increasing peoples ability to do things57.What sped up historys the movement in London? _ _.A. The arrival of coffee B. The increase of the number of coffee housesC. The rapid increase in British trade D.

Putting up with a boring job B. Recovering after a hard dayC. Building relationships over a cup of tea D. Staying up all night to finish a business planBSports is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism (批评) from coaches (trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional(情绪的), or psychological(心理上的), and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware (知道的), at all times, that their feedback (反馈) to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious (careful) that youth sport participation(参与) does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on (pay more attention to) the outcome(结果) and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive(肯定的、积极的) reinforcement（强化、补充） should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.60. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences61. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _.A. without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceB. in order to make them remember lifes lessonsC. believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentD. so as to put more pressure on them62. According to the passage parents and coaches should _B_.A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to deal with stress63. The authors purpose in writing the passage is _.A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout CHere is a poster on a middle school website.

As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell , but actively taking part in the lesson. I find that creativity can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency. Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholars in arts, psychology, business, education and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Stemberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as “the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate(applicable to the situation ) ”. this definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way and to use it correctly and properly. Mot scholars say there are two types of creativity: big “C” creativity and small “c” creativity. Big “C” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small “c” creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation our emphasis is on the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in a new way. 68. The underlined words “waiting for the bell ” in the first paragraph probably means_. A. longing for a phone call B. hoping to have a bell C. expecting the end of the class D. waiting to speak in the class 69. It can be inferred from the passage that the author thinks the exercises in the book were _. A. popular B. useful C. scientific D. creative 70. When you use a familiar word in a new way, you are _. A creative in the sense of big “C” creativity. B. creative in the sense of small “c” creativity.C. not creative in the sense of big “C” creativity.D. not creative in the sense of small “c” creativity.71. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. show how useful the book is. B, explain what creativity C. discuss how one can be creative D. tell what reaching aims at ETake the case of public education alone. The chief difficulty faced by the schools has been the amazing increase in the number of pupils. This has been caused by the advance of the legal（合法的）age for going into industry and the impossibility of finding a job even when the legal age has been reached. In view of the technological improvements in the last few years, business will require in the future proportionately（均衡的）fewer workers than ever before. The result will be still further raising of the legal age for going into employment, and still further difficulty in finding employment when that age has been gained. If we cannot put our children to work, we must put them in school.We may also be quite confident that the present trend toward a shorter day and a shorter week will be kept up. We have developed and shall continue to have a new leisure class. Already the public agencies for adult education are swamped（淹没）by the tide that has swept over them since depression（萧条）began. They will be little better off when it is over. Their support must come from the taxpayer.It is surely too much to hope that these increases
