Most people would say that its to do with taking risks. Take fewer risks and youll have fewer accidents. But is taking risks really a matter of choice?Some experts believe that whether or not you take risks in life has a lot to do with your upbringing (养育，培养) and, some believe, with your birth order. Parents are often stricter and more careful with their first child, and so first-born children tend to grow up taking fewer risks. Parents are often more relaxed with a second or third child, so these children tend to take more risks.But why do children tend to have more accidents than adults? During childhood the body grows very quickly. There seem to be periods in these years when our brain and body are at different stages of development. Our arms are longer than the brain thinks they are, so we knock things over; our legs are longer than the brain believes, so we trip over easily.Besides, the research suggests the more time a child spends watching TV, the less they are developing their physical co-ordination (协调) skills. It gives the child a false sense of how the world works and of how much danger it contains. If a child doesnt run around a lot, they dont begin to understand that the world is full of physical risks.So, what about adults? Some studies have shown that life in this world is a little difficult for left-handed people. As we know, we live in a right-handed world. Everything - from cars to door handles, from childrens toys to engineering tools and equipment - is made by right-handed people. Therefore, left-handed children and adults are more likely to have accidents because the modern world is not designed for them.21. Different from the first child, a second one tends to _.A. become ill more easily B. have more accidentsC. learn more quickly D. make more friends22. By saying “Our arms are longer than the brain thinks they are”, the author means that _.A. it is very easy for children to take risksB. our brain develops faster than the arms doC. children often do more exercises than adultsD. it is important to give children a balanced diet23. Which of the following may have more accidents?A. Right-handed people. B. Children who often run around.C. Left-handed people. D.Children who seldom watch TV.BDear Sir / Madam,It worried me a lot when I heard of the plan to cut down St Johns Wood to make a car park for shoppers. Although I agree that the town is short of car parks, this idea would be improper.In the first place, the wood is an area of natural beauty. There are many ancient trees of an unusual kind. I often go there for a picnic or just to relax at weekends. The wood is, without doubt，a natural home for birds, animals and insects. If the trees were cut down, many species would be lost. Furthermore, the wood is right in the centre of a heavilypollutedpart of town. The treeshelp to make the air cleaner. The council （地方议会）says they are worried about global warming, yet they wish to cut down trees which help reduce the build-up of gases that lead to global warming because they feed on carbon dioxide. Besides, that area also suffers from high noise levels frompassing trucks and the railway line. The trees help reduce the noise levels and do a lot of good to the whole environment.In my opinion, cutting down the wood would be stupid and pointless. A car park may well attract shoppers to the town and increase the shopkeepers trade. However, a beautiful part of our town would be destroyed. I would be very interested in hearing what your other readers think.Yours faithfully,Roland Chang24. What has made Roland Chang feel worried?A. That the town is short of car parks.B. That shoppers park their cars badly.C. That there are few parks in the town.D. That a wood in the town might disappear.25. Paragraph 2, Roland Chang mainly talks about .A. the importance of the woodB. the history of the townC. the species in the wood D. global warming26 Roland Chang wrote the letter mainly to .A. introduce a park B. make a suggestionC. express thankfulness D. send his congratulations27.To whom is Roland Chang probably writing?A.A magazine. B. A close friend.C. The shopkeepers. D. The town council.CAs computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their writings are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And thats why computers are being used more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.28. Which of the following can BEST serve as the title of the passage?A. The Importance of Handwriting and TypingB. To Type or To Hand WriteC. Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By HandD. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters29. The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because .A. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysB. computers have become a trend and fashion in ChinaC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently30. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in the fourth paragraph probably means .A. becoming crazy about B. getting bored withC. getting dependent on D. looking forward to31. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that .A. more and more students will give up writing on a computerB. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one dayC. more and more students will pay attention to handwritingD. the typed article better expresses ones emotion and qualityDThe Bridegrooms Oak, a 500-year-old tree just outside of Eutin, in Germany, has its own postal address and receives around 40 letters every day. Theyre sent by love seekers from around the world, in the hope that someone will read them and write back.With so many dating apps and services available nowadays, sending letters to a tree hardly sounds like the best way to find love.

After about one year, Minnas father found out their continued relationship,but instead of punishing them, he gave them permission to marry. The two lovers got married on June2, 1891, under the oak tree that helped keep their romance（罗曼史）alive.The couples story spread around Eutin, and soon, people unable to find love started writing romantic letters and leaving them in the trees knothole. By 1927, it was already known as Bridegrooms Oak and was so popular that it had its own address and postal code, allowing people from all over Germany and even abroad to send in their letters.Love seekers visiting the Bridegrooms Oak need respect only one simple rule. They can check all the letters in its knothole, and take with them the one they wish to reply to, but they have to put the others back for other people to find.So far the Bridegrooms Oak has been responsible for at least 100 marriages and many other romantic relationships.32.

We should learn some ways to expand it. Read every day. 36 Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know. 37 If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one. Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech. Elaborate(详尽阐述)on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal experience. If you have just learned that the word “stubborn” , think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. 38 Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 39 But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary. Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary.
