They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize (记住) some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didnt get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. Above all, they knew how to use their brains.41. Whether he is more _or less, a teacher cant teach his students everythingthey want to know.A. important B. useful C. difficulty D. knowledgeable (有知识的)42. A teachers job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of _.A. learning by themselves B. making a livingC. reading and thinking D. studying all the subjects43. The reason for scientists success is that _.A. they read books that were not taught at schoolB. they worked all their livesC. they wasted not a single momentD. they knew how to use their brainsBA quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Dont laugh, its true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.“We dont get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.Ferrers research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.44.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.B. Because her parents used to quarrel.C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.45.According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.46.The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means _.A. embarrassment B. faint C. tirednessD. sadness47. The best title for this passage is _.A. Family relations. B. The reasons why we get sick.C. Happy family makes you healthy. D. A research about teenagers health.CThanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of NovemberIt is the most traditional American holidayThe first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621After a year off great hardship，the colonist(殖民者)wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvestThey invited their Indian friends to join，them in a big feast(盛宴)。Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanksBut it Wasnt a regular national holiday until President Lincoln declared that the last Thursday in November would thereafter(从那时以后)be Thanksgiving Day in 1863It is a day of reunion and it is customary(惯例的)to invite friends to share the mealIn some large cities，there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving DayFor Americans，Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when the entire family gets togetherEveryone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy exchanges of greetingThe women soon disappear into the kitchen to help prepare the dinnerThe men，meanwhile，settle down to watch a football game on television，or to discuss business or politicsIf weather permits，some of the more athletic men go outside to play ball with the childrenThen everyone will sit down to dinnerin which traditional Thanksgiving foods such as stuffed turkey(加料的火鸡)，sweet potatoes，chestnuts，and pumpkin pie(南瓜饼)are served.
