Out of the Dust Any student interested in the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl should read Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse. Hesse is able to capture the mood and spirit of this era through the use of poetry. The main character of the book, Billie Jo, is growing up in Oklahoma, theheart of the Dust Bowl. Through free verse poetry, Billie Jo narrates (讲述)her tale of poverty and survival during this difficult time. Out of the Dust is an excellent lesson in history . Due to the short length and writing style, the book is a quick butworthwhile read. By the end of the book, the reader is eager to start the story over again . Hesse is able to pack a lot of emotions and details into her short book , making the story very real and believable. Anne of Green Gables This eight-book series depicts the life of Anne Shirley, an orphan that is adopted in Prince Edward Island, Canada . The books are set in the 1800s to the 1900s, the last one taking place during World War I. Anne is a loveable spirit who has many misfortunes and laughable experiences when growing up and going to college. The Anne of Green Gables series is fun to read. creating a strong attachment to the reader and making the last book a bittersweet experience. Teenage girls who are looking for a female role model will love Anne Shirley. Harry Potter J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter series has sold more copies than any other series in history.

If this is true, how e the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children. Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an inplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was” (dies) But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the acpanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are. Ive even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they e from. Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you are ever attacked by 2 0 bad guys, dont worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are pletely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women. TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you. Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But dont be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage except police cars. TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.49. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an inplete sentence before he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his_. A. humor B. sympathy C. deep concern D. medical knowledge50. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world_. A. bad things cause people to break down in the rain B. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights C. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas D. the crack of lightning and the acpanying flash dont happen at the same time51. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Life skills can be learned from TV. B. TV plays an important role in society.C. Watching TV makes people more creative D. What happens in TV is very different from reality.52. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _ attitude towards TV plays. A. positive B. casual C. negative D. indifferent C Having a child may improve a womans memory, a new study suggests. In the study, women who were new mothers scored better on tests of visuospatial memory the ability to understand and remember information about their surroundingspared with women who didnt have children. The findings contradicts the old belief that women develop“baby brain or a decline in memory and cognitive(认知的) function, after they have kids, said study researcher Melissa Santiago, a doctoral student at Carlos Albizu University in Miami. “You dont have to feel that because you have kids, your memory isnt the same, Santiago said. The study was small, and the findings will have to be tested in larger groups of people, Santiago said. Previous studies on the topic have had mixed resultssome showed motherhood hurts cognition, and others showed the opposite. Studies on rats show those with pups have better memory than those without offspring. Santiago analyzed information from 35 first-time mothers whose children were ages 10 to 24 months, and 35 women who had never been pregnant. Both groups scored similarly on intelligence tests. The average age of mothers was 29 and the average age of never-pregnant women was 27. To test visuospatial memory, the women were shown a paper containing six symbols for 10 seconds, and then asked to draw what they remembered. This task was repeated several times. The first time women were shown the paper, both groups remembered about the same amount. But on the second and third pass, mothers performed better than those without children, indicating that the mothers collected more information each time than the other women. Later, the women were shown a variety of different symbols, and asked to remember which ones were presented on the earlier task. Mothers did not make a mistake in this taskthey remembered every symbol correctlybut those without children made one or two errors, Santiago said.53. How did Santiago lead to the findings? A. By observation. B. By parison. C. By analyzing intelligence tests. D. By asking women questions.54. By saying “The study was small, what did Santiago mean? A. The study received little attention. B. The study has just started. C. The study was carried out among a s mall group of people. D. A small group of researchers were involved in the study.55. Which of the following was discussed in the text? A. Ways to test visuospatial memory. B. Why having kids improves memory. C. How young mothers are different from never-pregnant women. D. The negative effects that worries of women without children have.56. It can be inferred that Santiago believe the findings of the study_. A. may cause a heated discussion among parents B. may cause an increase in the birth rate C. are tested by previous similar studies D. are encouraging news for mothers D My bookshelves are full of dust-and with good reason. When it es to cleaning that part of my home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症). The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends. It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. Remember me? I was given to you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for panionship, one whispers. Another says, I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry. And a third, I was the book that made history so attractive to you. Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises - or better said,reunions-that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the shelf: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe. Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special: With Love from Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965. Whats this? A book on the physics of lasers().It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12, not long after the laser had been invented. I couldnt understand a bit of it, but I did learn what laser meant. What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal history
