One day when I was 5, my mother scolded (责骂) me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys. Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects. For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily. 【1】When the author damaged the door, his parents ________. A.gave him a spanking B.left the door unrepaired C.scolded him for what he had done D.told him how expensive it was 【2】The underlined word “remorse” in paragraph 1 most probably means ________. A.regret B.hurt C.feel D.notice 【3】The experience may cause the author ________. A.to hide his anger away from others B.not to go against his parents’ will C.to have a better control of himself D.not to make mistakes in the future 【4】What is the main idea of this text? A.Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior. B.Parents are the best teachers of their children. C.What is the best way to become a more patient person. D.Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people. |

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development. 【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A.People remember well what they learned in childhood. B.Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D.Stories for children are easy to remember. 【2】The author explains the law of overlearning by ________. A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rules C.making a comparison D.using examples 【3】What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.Commonly accepted rules. B.The multiplication tables. C.Things easily forgotten. D.School subjects. 【4】What is the author’s opinion on cramming? A.It’s helpful only in a limited way. B.It leads to failure in college exams. C.It’s possible to result in poor memory. D.It increases students’ learning interest. |

A handsome man can earn a fifth more than a plainer colleague (同事) but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague, new research has shown. The study by senior economists (经济学家) found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues. Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage. Andrew Leigh, the former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: “Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.” “Some people still believe good looks and intelligence (智慧) are incompatible (矛盾的) in women so a good-looking woman can’t be that productive, but it doesn’t affect men’s pay.” He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory. The research found that handsome men in all jobs, from manual labour to highly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing the same work. Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a man’s earnings by 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker. Former male model Ian Mitchell, 28, who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics (化妆品) company, told the Sunday Times: “It gives you confidence, and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly.” The study, named Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium had changed. Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist (以貌取人的) ” and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice(偏见). 【1】What has the research found? A. Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs. B. Appearance plays an important role at work. C. Male workers pay more attention to their appearance. D. The more beautiful a female is, the lower their intelligence is. 【2】Through the research, Andrew Leigh learned that ________. A. beauty is a double-edged sword for workers B. good-looking females are likely to earn more C. employers have prejudice in employing workers D. more attention is paid to appearance now than before 【3】We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearance ________. A. earn 26% less than handsome men B. earn 26% less than average-looking men C. earn as much as average-looking men D. earn 22% less than average-looking men 【4】What is the main idea of the text? A. Good-looking men are more likely to earn more. B. Men and women should be treated equally in interviews. C. People should pay more attention to their appearance. D. Beautiful female interviewees aren’t popular in interviews. |

Children prefer to imitate their parents rather than talk to them. E. Your actions are speaking to them louder than your words will. F.
