large areas of land, for the state of wei was too weak to defend itself. in 273 b.c. ,the qin army launched a more serious attack upon the state of wei than ever. the king of the state of wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the qin army. after years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.at the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the state of qin the large area of land north of the huanghe river and south of the taihang mountain. however su dai, a counselor, did not agree. he hurried up to the king and said:your majesty, they dont think about the interests of the country at all. it is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away.he added. once there was a man whose house was on fire. people told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. isnt it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the state of wei?though sue dais argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the state of qin a large area of the land of the state of wei. as might be expected, the qin army attacked the state of wei in 225 b.c. again, surrounding the capital city daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the huanghe

over the ups and downs of relationships.many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do，in truth，though，no boy is an island；boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships，most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives，and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are.a recent study of 10to15yearold boys and girls found that girlsfriendships are actually more fragile.girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys，and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”；they love games with rules，competition，and doing things together.boys seem to enjoy，even need the opportunity to test themselves against others，and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court.competence and skill are widely respected；being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.as boys mature，the friendship becomes even more important，and it frequently widens to include girls.during the teen years，friends can become the most important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included.the confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.there is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”，someone he can trust.they may be partners in crime or partners in study，but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.26the common belief of adults is that boys _.adont care about others as much as girlsbdont value friendships as much as girlschave the same friendship as girls dhave healthier friendship than girls27according to the passage，_.aboys usually build friendships by playing

easy；theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.you only have to share your childrens curiosity.firstly，listen to their questions.i once visited a classroom of sevenyearolds to talk about science as a job.the children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling，salary and whether i liked my job.when i finished answering，we sat facing one another in silence.finally i said，“now that were finished with your lists，do you have questions of your own about science？”after a long pause，a boy raised his hand，“have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢)eat? when i try eating leaves like that，i get a stomachache.why？”this began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.secondly，give them time to think.studies over the past 30 years have shown that，after asking a question，adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer，no time for a child to think.when adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more，children give more logical，complete and creative answers.thirdly，watch your language.once you have a child involved in a science discussion，dont jump in with “thats right” or “very good”these words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.but in talking about science，quick praise can signal that discussion is over.instead，keep things going by saying “thats interesting” or “id never thought of it in that way before”，or coming up with more questions or ideas.never push a child to “think”it doesnt make sense.children are always thinking，without your telling them to.whats more，this can turn a conversation into a performance.the child will try to find the answer you want，in as few words as possible，so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.lastly，show；dont tell.reallife impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜)，and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发)，put a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.31according to the passage，children are natural scientists，and to raise their interest，the most important thing for adults to do is _.ato let them see the world aroundbto share the childrens curiositycto explain difficult phrases about sciencedto supply the children with lab equipment32in the last sentence of the first paragraph，the word “lists” could best be replaced by _.aany questionsbany problemscquestions from textbooksdany number of questions33according to the passage，children can answer questions in a more logical，complete and creative way if adults _.aask them to answer quicklybwait for one or two seconds after a questionctell them to answer the next daydwait at least for three seconds after a question34in which of the following paragraph(s)does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?athe second and third.bthe fourth and fifth.cthe fifth and sixth.dthe seventh.35the author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their childrens curiosity except that adults should _.atell their children stories instead of reciting factsboffer their children chances to see things for themselvescbe patient enough when their children answer questionsdencourage their children to ask questions of their own31b细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句中的“.share your childrens curiosity(好奇)”可推知此题的答案为b项。32c推理判断题。根据文章第一段第六句“the children asked me textbook questions.”可推知此题的答案为c项。33d推理判断题。根据文章第四段最后一句“when adults increase their wait time to three seconds or more，children give more logical(符合逻辑的)，complete and creative

individuals (个体) for their efforts to protect the environment. each year, the american-based group honors environmental activists from six different areas. the first three winners of the 2012 goldman
