Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.As a writer, I know about winning contests and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous masters. What if she doesnt win the contest again? Thats the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can be embodied in our children.An inspiration came last week when I asked her, “Dont you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she independently told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.31. Which of the statements will the author agree with? A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions. B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in. C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience. D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.32. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “embodied” in paragraph 2? A. put B. expressed C. connected D. included33. Why did Rebecca want to enter this years writing contest? A. She wanted to share her stories with readers. B. She was sure of winning with her mothers help. C. She believed she possessed real talent for writing. D. She had won a prize in the previous contest. 34. The author took great pains to improve her daughters stories because _. A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writer B. she was afraid Rebeccas imagination might run wild while writing C. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much D. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance 【参考答案】31-34 CBAD As adults, some of our most memorable memories are likely to come from childhood holidays: decorating the tree at Christmas time, lighting the candles for Kwanzaa, or spending the New Year with the noisemakers. But holidays arent just for helping adults feel a connection with the past. They also create a structure and annual rhythm that will carry our children into the future. Indeed, in a world in which children constantly are experiencing developmental, social, and academic changes, family traditions provide stepping stones that lead us from season to season, year to year. It gives children a sense of security to know how their world works, that on Christmas Eve, the family always goes to midnight mass (午夜弥撒). The songs, sights, and stories of the winter holidays also help children experience feelings of respect, feelings that arent often encouraged in our rather cynical (悲观的) modern culture. The time spent with loved ones also can promote a deep sense of family roots and cultural history, which in itself is key for developing a sense of belonging, well-being, and self-esteem. The winter holidays are especially good for creating family-building traditions. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa all in some way celebrate light, warmth, and love, and all of them provide a sense of home and hearth (壁炉边). As new parents, we begin to have our own set of customs around these holidays, and many traditions will be drawn from our past, especially at first. But with years going on, we are sure to develop original ones that suit our own particular lifestyles, childrens personalities, and personal tastes. Granted, modifying family traditions may feel like a break with the past, but they help to consider these changes as a connection with the future as well, which we transmitted to our children with all the best wishes. 1.

Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Thats because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! Youre a great vegetable taster”, did not work as well. The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetableseither carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peasin laboratory taste tests, the study said. Researchers randomly assigned (分派) 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where Parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”. Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day for 12 days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetablesand were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround(转机) also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later. Why didnt the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.61. The purpose of writing the passage is . A. to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB. to show the procedure of an experiment on childrens dietC. to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD. to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents62. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”. A. shoot from behind the back B. make a fire in the backyardC. produce an unexpected result D. achieve what was planned63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery. B. It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.C. Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables. D. Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables. 64. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?A. By comparison. B. By asking questions. C. By giving examples. D. By discussion. 65. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Children like rewards, not verbal praise. B. Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone. C.

In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produceeco-friendly tentsmade of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the Citys private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mints directors and won their support. Mint has committed around500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlops business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.
