The book said that 46 balancing the tree and weighting it down, it would have a better chance of survival.In recent months, I have discovered the same principle also 47 to our lives. Often at times the reason why we 48 in achieving our goals and dreams is that our lives are not balanced properly.

The Travels of Marco Polo by Marco Polo No one knows what is true and what isnt in Marco Polos travels. The adventurer journeyed in the 13th century from Venice to China, meeting Kublai Khan along the way. The book inspired Christopher Columbus, among other world travelers and writers, and helped foster the idea of global trade. But step back from the actuality of Marco Polos trips along the Silk Road and just plain learn how to make your way through foreign lands on your wisdom alone. Alive by Piers Paul Read Alive is one of those books that get an immediate reaction from people who have read it or seen the movie based on it. When their plane crashes high in the Andes mountains, survivors, including members of a Uruguayan rugby team, do what they feel they must do to survive. The climax is highly controversial-and it makes you think about the lengths we humans will go to live. Into the wild by Jon Krakauer This book tells the story of Christopher McCandless and the inward journey of a young man struggling with purpose, as well as his physical journey into the Alaskan wild country. Krakauer gives us a story for the ages (alongside his book Into Thin Air) in which you will figure out the soul of a true wanderer who prepares and studies how to live off the land. 56. Which of the following is TRUE of The Travels of Marco Palo? A. It contains some wrong ideas. B. It helps to develop modern economy. C. It encourages Christopher Columbus a lot. D. Marco polo came to China along Silk Road. 57. After seeing the film Alive, many people . A. became very angry. B. would like to read it again. C. decided to lead a happy lifeD. were touched by its story. 58. You can learn how to survive air disaster by reading A. The Travels of Marco Polo B. Alive C. Into the Wild D. Into Thin Air(B) At a primary school in a small town in the cast of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders(性别). David Chadwell, South Carolinas coordinator of single gender education says, “Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently. We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.” Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The composition of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. “Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space,” he says.The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black. Its no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their class. The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesnt need to move as much as in boys class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.Boys and girls also hear differently. “When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls interpret it as yelling, Chadwell says. “They think youre mad and can shut down.” Girls are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys teachers should sound more forceful, even excited.A boys nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit. Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Girls also respond to stress differently. When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts (肠道), leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.These differences can be applied in the classroom. Chadwell adds. “Single gender programs are about maximizing the learning.59. Which of the following students is most likely to be focused? A. A boy sitting in a warm room B. A standing boy who is faced with stress C. A girl standing in a cold room D. A girl who is facing a lot of pressure 60. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Ways of teaching boys and ways of teaching girls B. Boys and girls should be separated C. How boys and girls learn differently D. How to teach more effectively 61. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? (=Paragraph 1，=Paragraph 2 =Paragraph 3=Paragraph 8) (C)Being able to multitask-doing several things at the same time-is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house，nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also affects young peoples performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具) on their performance of tasks，many young people gave a positive response(反应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modem gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work. 62. What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Want to buy B. Take the place of.C. Use at the same time D. Seek for information from.63. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that A. family members do not eat at the family tableB. family member do not greet each otherC. young people live happily in their familiesD. young people seldom talk with their family members64. The author develops the passage mainly by_ A. providing typical examplesB. following the natural time orderC. comparing opinions from different fieldsD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects (D) “OK,” I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. Whats going on with you and your friend J.? J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp- a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now shes the one on the outs, and every day at snack tune, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long. “Shes fond of giving orders,” Lucy complained. Shes turning everyone against me. Shes mean. And shes fat. Excuse me.I said, struggling for calm. What did you just said? Shes fat.Lucy mumbled(含糊地说).Were going upstairs. I said, my voice cold. Were going to discuss this. And up we went.Id spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day wed have the conversation about this terrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word-Fat.My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasnt your fault? I begin. She could stop eating so much, Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years. Its not always that easy, I said. Everyones different in terms of how they treat food. Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a womans weight, shes joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I didnt cry when someone posted my picture and commented, Im sorry, but arent authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?Does she need to k, now, that 1ife isnt fair? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I dont have.
