of failing that he (or she) wont try at all. of course they should be 46 corrected when they do wrong, but its often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves 47 . all our parents

mere walk away from your college.kings art centrea day at the centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. this weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.you could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint - free of charge. the centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. the botanic gardenthe garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for cambridge university.the multi-branched torch aloe here is impressive. the african plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.get to the display house to see dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the venus flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.the garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. look for grass snakes in the lake. a snake called hissing sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.byrons poolmany stories surround lord byrons time as a student of cambridge university, arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of mess and drunkenness. however, it seems as though byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. he spent a great deal of time walking in the village.it is also said that on occasion byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as byrons pool. a couple of miles past grantchester in the south cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. the cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. if you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from virginia woolf- -over a century after byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.56. as mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for_.a. attending the masters classb. working with local artistsc. learning life drawing d. seeing an exhibition 57. torch aloe and venus flytrap are_.a. wildlife-enthusiastsb. rarely-seen snakesc. common insects d. impressive plants58. we can infer from the passage that byron seemed_. a. to fear pet bears b. to like walkingc. to finish university in 1805d. to be a heavy drinker59. what is the passage mainly about?a. some places for weekend break b. unknown stories of cambridge university. c. a way to become creative in art. d. the colorful life in the countryside.b for years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earths natural conditions. some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. it may be one hundred times worse.indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. some pollutants（污染物）can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.people have paid more attention to the problem now. it is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. to do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. they also began using man-made building materials. these materials are now known to let out harmful gases.as the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. they discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants. scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. they believe that a plants leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. in exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. so the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.60. generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _.aindoor air pollution can often make people seriously illbthere may be more harmful gases outside the buildingscthe air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful dman-made building materials give off dangerous gases 61. some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _.aevery modern house bevery old house call kinds of housesdall kinds of offices62. the indoor air pollution is caused by _.athe building way that the builders want to save energy bthe man-made building materials and the limit of air-flowcthe building things that are made of man-made materialsdthe limit of the flow of air between inside and outside63. the reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _.aplants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsbplants may take in more oxygen which people needcplants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals dplants can make our houses prettier and more healthycno one knows for sure when advertising first started. it is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. that led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.lets take a man well call mr. fielder, for example. he did everything connected with farming. he planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. at the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. however, he didnt make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.suppose there was another man we shall call mr. plowright. using what he knew about farming and working with iron, mr. plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. mr. plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.how did mr. plowright let people know what he was doing? why, he advertised, of course. first he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. that sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. it was probably all the information people needed to find mr. plowright and his really good plows.many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. even before most people could read, they understood such signs. shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.a medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. you might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. the second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get peoples attention.a crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. it is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. in ancient egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. his job was, in other words, not too different from a tv or radio commercial in todays world. 64. what probably led to the start of advertisement?a. the discovery of iron.b. the development of farming techniques. c. the specialization of labor. d. the appearance of new jobs. 65. the writer makes up the two stories of mr. fielder and mr. plowright in order to _. a. explain the origin of advertising b. predict the future of advertising c. provide suggestions for advertising d. expose problems in advertising 66. in ancient egypt, a crier was probably someone who _. a. functioned like todays tv or radio commercial b. owned a ship c.had the loudest voice d. ran a shop selling goods to farmers 67. the last two paragraph
