Roger Rolls was the first black governor in the history of New York State, USA. He was born in one of New York’s dishonorable slums (贫民窟). The children born here rarely did good work after they grew up. However, Roger Rolls was an exception, for he was not only admitted to the university, but also he became a governor. At one of the press conferences, a reporter asked him, “What made you become the governor?” Faced with more than 300 journalists, Rolls did not mention his struggle but only spoke of his primary school schoolmaster---Pierre Paul. In 1961, Pierre Paul was engaged as the director and principle of Nobita Primary School. When he entered this school, he found the children here didn’t cooperate with the teachers. Pierre thought up many ways to guide them, but none was effective. Later, he found these children were very superstitious(迷信的), so when he gave lectures, he added a program of palm reading as a means of fortune-telling, with which he encouraged the students. When Rolls jumped to the platform with his small hands stretched out, Pierre Paul said, “As soon as I see your slim little fingers, I know you will be the governor of New York State in future.” At that moment, Rolls was shocked because only his grandmother inspired him once, saying that he could become captain of a five-ton ship. This time, Pierre Paul said he could become governor of New York State, so he remembered that remark and believed him. From that day on, the “New York State Governor” was like a banner (旗帜) that constantly inspired him to study energetically and make progress. Rolls no longer stained his clothes with mud, nor did he speak in foul language. He began to straighten his back when he was walking. In the next more than 40 years, he demanded himself according to the identity of a governor. At the age of 51, he finally became the governor of New York State. Put up a banner of faith for yourself and you will have the drive to struggle and the dynamism of life! 【1】Pierre Paul read palms for the kids to __________. A.practice his fortune-telling skills B.find a governor for the future. C.get them to cooperate with him. D.inspire them with clever tricks 【2】What effect did Pierre’s remarks have on Roger Rolls? A.He put up a banner in one of the slums. B.He had more faith in his grandmother. C.He became captain of a five-ton ship. D.He started to pay attention to his own image. 【3】From Roger Roll’s story we can learn that __________. A.encouragement and faith make for success. B.education plays an important role in life. C.superstitious people are easy to persuade. D.it is not necessary to get an acceptable job. 【4】The underlined word “foul” in Paragraph 5 probably mean __________. A.foreign B.professional C.unpleasant D.local |

As larger numbers of Chinese tourists are coming to the US with more individualized travel plans, more are turning their eyes to cultural and art attractions, rather than a crazy shopping. “We have seen the rise of independent Chinese tourists for a while, and they have showed increasing interest in culture and arts,” Lin Xiaowen, a tour guide of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) in New York, told Xinhua in a recent interview. There used to be a time when the luxury stores on the Fifth Avenue of New York City (NYC) were frequented by Chinese consumers. But now, they have turned to the attractions other than luxury. “In recent years, the number of Chinese tourists (to the Met) is keeping rising. In 2009, it was only about 50,000 (annually), but since 2014, their number has already been over 200,000,” said Lin, “Chinese visitors have become the largest group of foreign visitors in Met since then.” In the year of 2015, the number of visitors to this famous museum has reached 6.3 million, which has been attributed in a large part to Chinese elements and tourists. Responding to the sharp rise in Chinese visitors, the staff of the museum made efforts to cater to the Chinese, including audio tours and maps in Mandarin, opening a Chinese Weibo account, and even acceptance of UnionPay. Chinese tourists now choose to spend more time in the spots like Washington Square, enjoying some coffee, or take a walk around famous campus. Moreover, they are more interested in staying here longer to have an exploration of that local community in depth, instead of just superficial stay for one night or for a couple of days. 【1】What did Chinese tourists tend to do when traveling in the US? A.They learned American traditions. B.They visited some museums. C.They bought luxury goods in the stores. D.They enjoyed food in the local restaurants. 【2】How did the American museum take efforts to cater to the Chinese? A.It brought in UnionPay system. B.It offered them Chinese food and coffee. C.It provided Chinese guides in the museum. D.It supplied Chinese money for their change. 【3】According to the passage, we learn that _____. A.Lin Xioawen is a journalist from Xinhua News Agency B.Chinese tourists tend to catch a quick glimpse of the US C.there were 6.3 million Chinese who went to American museums in 2015 D.Chinese tourists have paid more attention to American cultural and art attraction 【4】The best title for the passage is probably _____. A.Chinese Tourists and Luxury B.Changes of Chinese Tourists C.Chinese Tourists and Museums D.Changes of Chinese Tourists’ Focus in the US |

What defines who we are? Our habits? Our tastes? Our memories? Like many other people who speak more than one language, I often sense that I’ m a slightly different person in each of my languages — more confident in English, more relaxed in French, more sensitive in Czech. Is it possible that, my moral compass also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I’ m using at the time? Psychologists who study moral judgments have become very interested in this question. In a research led by Albert Costa, volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the “trolleybus problem”: imagine that a trolleybus is moving quickly towards a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can shift the trolleybus to a different set of tracks, therefore sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch? Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolleybus is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that putting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their willingness to push the person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one. According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these, a quick, natural “feeling”, and the other, careful consideration about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more cautious way simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language signals our cognitive system to prepare for difficult situation. An alternative explanation is the differences between native and foreign tongues. There’s strong evidence that memory connects a language with the experiences and interactions through which that language was learned. Our childhood languages, learned in the middle of passionate emotion, become filled with deep feeling. By comparison, languages acquired late in life, especially if they are learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones, enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers. 【1】What does “this question” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.What can contribute to improving one’s foreign language? B.Is it necessary to learn more than one foreign language? C.How do people deal with moral dilemmas in a foreign language? D.Does the language one uses influence one’s moral judgments? 【2】When the “trolleybus problem” was presented in a foreign language, volunteers were more likely to ________. A.sacrifice the stranger on the footbridge B.care less about the five people C.pull the switch to the side tracks D.remain hesitant about what to do 【3】What can be inferred from the passage? A.People who speak more than one language are less emotional than others. B.Native language learning involves greater emotional reactions. C.Moral judgments made in a foreign language are more careless. D.Foreign language learning can be promoted by academic settings. 【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A.To provide guidance on how to shape our life. B.To stress the importance of judging in a foreign language. C.To suggest a way of learning a foreign language. D.To state the influence of a foreign language on moral judgments. |

A Great Way to Teach Children to Take Responsibility As parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older. 【1】 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 【2】 【3】. For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make sure the children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry. Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 【4】 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time. Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be. Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 【5】 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society. A.A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family. B.And what punishment they will receive if a chore isn’t done. C.Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future. D.Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves. E.Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters. F.Children will not be rewarded at all for merely cleaning up. G.And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done. |
