the all-time best things you can do with them, and for them. i love reading to my kids, and they love reading with me. it is some of the best quality time ever, and sharing a good book with a child is just a wonderful feeling.ive listed of my all-time favorite childrens booksa list that can start any childs library. its a starting point, to be sure-im sure you can think of many more to be included. but these are books i truly love (and my kids do too) and i think most kids and parents will love them. these are mostly time-tested classics, so there might not be too many surprises here, but sometimes its useful to be reminded of books weve forgotten about. where the wild things are, by maurice sendak. i can never get enough of this book. it is truly awesome. great drawings, great imagination. if i had to choose just 10 books on this list, this would be one of them.guess how much i love you, by sam mcbratney. i love you all the way to the moon and back! fun to read this with your kids, and then later compete to see how much you love each other.the giving tree, by shel silverstein. if seuss is the best, silverstein is right behind him. if i had to list just 10 books here, this book would be one of them. such a sweet, sad, true book, with great drawings of course.matilda, by roald dahl. perhaps my favorite dahl book. while reading this book, you want to have matilda as a friend, and during the time you are with her, she is your friend.charlie and the chocolate factory, by roald dahl. a classic, of course, and yet another poor kid who inevitably enters your heart.the little prince, by antoine de saintexupery. originally published in french, this classic is so unique, i cannot really describe it. if you havent read it to your child, please do.magic tree house series, by mary pope osborne. a very long series (over 30 last time i counted) of fun, adventurous and educational books. it covers stuff kids love, like dinosaurs and ninjas and knights and wizards, and makes history come alive. my son is in love with this series.1.the writer of this passage probably is .a.a professor b.a director c.a lawyer d.a parent2.which of these books have the same author?a.where the wild things are and guess how much i love you.b.matilda and charlie and the chocolate factory.c.charlie and the chocolate factory and the little prince.d.the giving tree and matilda.3.we can infer from the passage that the author .a.is tired of reading the giving treeb.speaks highly of seuss, writer of the giving treec.there are some adventurous stories in magic tree house seriesd.the little prince was written in english when first published4.the purpose of this passage is .a.to introduce some time-tested childrens booksb.to give some advice on how to select a childrens bookc.to promote some childrens booksd.to write a book reviewbhow much empathy（共鸣）do you feel towards other people? if you saw someone fall off their bike in traffic, would you stop and helpor just walk away? many people would give into coldness, go about their business and just do nothing. so it was a big surprise when about 100 by standers got together recently to move a bus in east london to help a cyclist trapped under it. a video of the incident went viral on social media.according to zoheb, a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue, about five people gathered to move the bus. he says: “ there was no chance we could do it, it was more an invitation for other people to help, really.”the initiative（主动能力）paid off. diners from nearby restaurants joined in. there wasnt much coordination but it didnt take long to develop a collective understanding of what the objective was.spontaneous（自发的）cooperation among strangers doesnt happen often. people in a crowd are not sure what to dothey dont have a plan. its one of the reasons, bystanders often do nothing, according to dr mark levine, professor of social psychology at exeter university in britain. “the presence of others can prevent you from helping”, he says.“the keyto positive group behavior,” levine explains, “isbuilding a sense of shared identity. action has to be decided quickly.” levine says. “the longer you leave it, the harder it is to make a decision. if you dont immediately act then you think well, actually i probably couldnt have done anything anyway.”but the people whotookthe initiative like zobeb might make a difference.the cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of the collective effort might inspire others to more acts of unity.5.why did the author say it was a big surprise when the rescue was made? a.many by standers did no thing.b.so many people gave a hand.c.it spread on social media.d.it didnt catch peoples attention.6.which of the following best describes the driver zoheb according to the text?a.kind-hearted.b.generous.c.optimistic.d.easy-going.7.why do people give in to coldness when they should be helping according to levine?a.they dont know how to give first aid.b.strangers seldom cooperate with each other.c.nobody wants to be the first to offer help.d.they are forbidden from helping.8.what can we learn from the text?a.the sense of shared identity makes no difference.b.its not necessary to make a quick decision.c.its impossible for strangers to cooperate.d.collective effort is inspiring.csomething i enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. its two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. but when i take my seat to enjoy the film and reach into my box of popcorn, im often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.its no surprise that a proposal by a us cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger that the company had to withdraw the idea. people said it was the worst idea ever! surely, going to watch the latest film is just that watching not multi-screening. and if youre out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. i certainly get distracted by the click- click on someones mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen-why arent they concentrating on the big screen?!but with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap dvds, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? a survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to- 34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.however, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as adam aron, head of amc entertainment, said in variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, dont ruin the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the elbow.” clearly this is not what i would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that im at, please dont sit next to me! what do you think is the right thing to do?9.the underline word irritated in paragraph 1 means .a.terrified b.depressed c.annoyed d.embarrassed10.which of the following is true of the us cinema chains original advice?a.the advice was carried out smoothly. b.they stopped people using the phone.c.the advice was very popular with people. d.they permitted people to use the phone.11.what can we infer from paragraph 3?a.people prefer to watch films and dvd at home.b.the cinema neednt worry about their customers.c.young people use their social media frequently.d.sending messages is the best experience for young people.di was a teacher for only ten years. in 1926, on my return to china after finishing studies in the united states, i began to teach at my alma mater yenching university, peiping, as a lecturer in chinese. the teachers of the department of chinese then were mostly my former teachers.the students and i were good friends. the freshmen were mostly young boys and girls aged between 17 and 20 in five classes, each consisting of 30 to 40 students coming from various places of china. those from fujian and guangdong had difficulty in understanding the heavily accented speech of teachers who came from places south of the yangtze river. consequently, some of these students were transferred to my class through the arrangements of the schools office. looking down from the platform, i was delighted by a multitude of rosy-faced young students smiling and staring curiously at me. their smiles were by no means unfamiliar to me, being similar to those i often saw on the faces of my younger brothers and younger female cousins.i taught a course on advanced writing, which was an elective for students above the freshman level. it gave them a try in different kinds of literary writing, such as fiction, poetry, correspondence and sometimes translations. for the end-of-term examination, i had them each hand in a self-edited magazine specializing in any subjects, such as fine arts, sports, etc. and complete with well designed cover, aim of its publication and photos. students of the same class could request contributions or photos from each other, or from students of other classes. they called it an interesting try. the magazines they handed in by the end of the term were very lively and encouraging, each having its content quite in line with its title.in recalling my past career as a teacher, i always think fondly of the close friendship between the students and me. in those days, teachers and students all lived on campus. we often went boating on the weiming lake, or had discussions about various things on the marble boat by the island in the middle of the lake, or had heart-to-heart private talks about, for instance, job selections or marriage. all that took place over half a century ago, and now, more than half of them have gone to another world before me. i feel very sorrow about it indeed. in my mind, teachers and students should be friends with mutual respect and love.12.the underlined words alma mater in paragraph 1 probably means .a.the school where the writer studied before b.the school that the writer dreamt of beforec.the school where the writer taught before d.the school where the writer lived before13.why those students from fujian and guangdong were transferred to my class?a.because the writer was a new teacher.b.because they couldnt understand the heavily accented speech of their teachers.c.because the writer would like to make friends with the students.d.because they wanted to take the course that the writer taught.14.how did the writer feel towards his students when they handed in their self-edited magazines?a.disappointedb.delightedc.worriedd.unsatisfied15.which one should be the best title of the passage?a.my students b.men learn while they teachc.an unforgettable memory d.joys of the teaching
