My six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique(古董),” she said. “You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique.” I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster’s Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, it’s an object existing since or belonging to earlier times...a work of art... a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.” “I’m only 67,” I reminded Jenny. We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “It’s very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques." There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now that’s an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched (刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that,” I told Jenny. “But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. That’s something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.” I believed this was important for my own self-worth. Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn’t buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. They’d been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. They’d lasted through years and years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored. or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived. For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l don’t have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened. “Could I take you to school for show and tell?” “Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jenny’s antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years. 【1】Grandma read the definition of “antique” to Jenny in order to ________. A. express her disappointment at being called “antique” B. change Jenny’s shallow understanding of antiques C. tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques D. list all the important characteristics of antiques 【2】Which of the following information did grandma express to Jenny? A. The desk reminded her of her dear relatives. B. There was usually a sad story behind each antique. C. The spots on the picture showed its age and value. D. She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up. B. Jenny was too young to know grandma’s humor. C. Jenny had a strong desire for grandma’s love. D. Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny. 【4】What can be the best title for the passage? A. Jenny’s Antique B. Grandma’s Antique C. A Tour of Antiques D. A Story of Antiques |

Theater is one of the oldest and most important art forms in world culture, it is also one of the richest art forms. Many people work together to bring a play to life. There are playwrights, directors, set designers, costumers, lighting technicians, and, of course, actors. If the performance is a musical, the skills of a songwriter, a choreographer, and musicians are also required. The excitement of opening night can be felt by the people waiting to watch a performance and by the performers and workers backstage waiting for the curtain to go up. Live theater is thrilling because no one really knows how well the play will go until it is performed. The word theater comes from the Greek theatron, which means “a place for seeing.” One concept from Greek theater that is still seen in some plays today is the “Greek Chorus”. This consists of several actors or characters watching the action of the play(almost like the audience) and then commenting on what whey just saw with either reactions or dialogue. Although most people think of the theater in terms of a play performed on the stage, theater has taken on a much broader meaning in the modern world. You may find yourself walking into a theater with no seats in the rows. Instead, you are seated among the set pieces, which makes you part of the setting. Sometimes theater may come to life on a street corner, or in a classroom. The excitement of theater is in its very nature----it is an art form that changes as it is interpreted(诠释) in different ways by different people. That is probably why the works of the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare, are still performed and enjoyed today, both in classic and new interpretations. 【1】What does the word “richest” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. diverse. B. wealthy. C. terrifying. D. entertaining. 【2】Why is live theater so exciting according to the text? A. Plays are usually well written. B. It is often interpreted by skilled actors. C. No one can predict its success or failure. D. There are so many people working on it. 【3】What is suggested about the plays of Shakespeare in the text? A. They are more often given new interpretations today than in the past. B. They are more popular today than during Shakespeare’ s time. C. They will always be considered the world’s greatest. D. They have been performed in a variety of ways. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A. A vital part of theater: Greek Chorus B. Modern theater: adventures in acting C. Shakespeare: our greatest playwright D. Theater: an exciting art form |

In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me." The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city. An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet. This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building? That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river. 【1】The author mentions the joke to show ______. A.horses were fairly useful in Chicago B.Chicago's streets were extremely muddy C.Chicago was very dangerous in the spring D.the Chicago people were particularly humorous 【2】The underlined word "hoist" in Paragraph 4 means "__________ ". A.decorate B.change C.repair D.lift 【3】What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel? A.It went on smoothly as intended. B.It interrupted the business of the hotel. C.It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews. D.It separated the building from its foundation. 【4】The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______. A.popular life styles and their influences B.environmental disasters and their causes C.engineering problems and their solutions D.successful businessmen and their achievements |

Characteristics of an excellent scientist The Free Dictionary defines (定义) a scientist as a person having professional knowledge on one or more sciences, especially natural science or physical science. 【1】. Let’s look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist. Curiosity. 【2】. Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things work. If a scientist doesn’t have the drive to ask questions or even wonder, then he/she never gets to the first stage of the scientific process. Patience. 【3】. There are very few jobs that take longer than this one. Even if you think you have received some education on science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you’re an instant-gratification (及时满足的) type of person, this may not be the best choice for you. Ethical (道德的) qualities. In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people’s life as well as the environment and living things, since they are all linked and they can affect one another in the long run. A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal or outside commercial (商业的) interests. Sticking to an old belief contradicted (反驳) by evidence is dishonest. 【4】. Working habits. An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation, keeping it in mind and recording it. 【5】. He/She also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking skills connect him/her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/she may discover something new. A. Becoming a scientist takes a long time. B. An excellent scientist must be very curious about things. C. It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods. D.
