On a sunny spring day, a group of children, four to seven-year- old, sit on their bicycles. They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their mothers, watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride. Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year. She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education. Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check.” A is for air, she explains. “We have to check our tires before we ride.” B is for brakes. We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down. And C is for chain. She says the chain must be clean. The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills, from balance and pedaling to turning, starting and stopping. And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this. They look down at the pedals (踏板) instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn’t allow them to see what’s going on around them, and it also doesn’t allow them to turn properly.” Varn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier. Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe, smart decisions going from one place to another. Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year, Varn has helped around 250 new riders. 【1】How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding? A.Confident. B.Nervous. C.Excited. D.Relaxed. 【2】What is “the ABC quick check” aimed to do? A.To check if bikes are in safe condition for use. B.To check if the tires are safe for them to use. C.To make sure the brakes work. D.To check whether the chain is clean. 【3】What will make it easier to turn the corner when riding a bike? A.Stopping to look around. B.Looking down at the pedals. C.Looking where they are going. D.Keeping their eyes up and looking up. 【4】What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage? A.It opens a new world to the mothers. B.It gives children a sense of achievement. C.It helps children stay away from video games. D.It makes children familiar with the surrounding. |

I used to live in South Africa and recently went back to Botswana to visit the Central Kalahari Game Reserve with my friend Oscar. There is nothing quite like the vast African wilderness. Our jeep broke down suddenly along the too-hot-to-touch sand. With such an engine, it was tough work. The dry heat was fierce and the only break came from using our precious water for brief bucket shower. With no supplies available within the park—it was a sort of no man’s land with the occasional cow—it’s necessary to bring all your fuel, food and water with you. We camped in a small open space of the bush. At the height of the dry season, shade was in very little supply, so we angled ourselves near a lonely leafless tree. As the sun was setting, we drove towards the watering hole a few miles away, and were reminded just why we’d chosen to spend weeks experiencing this difficult, unpleasant, and painful exercise on ourselves. Realizing our arrival, a lone lion stopped his drinking. He yawned (打哈欠), then carried on drinking. That night, sleeping on the roof of the jeep, we felt his roar (吼叫) as much as we heard it. All movements and activities stopped, but when bright satellites flashed across the blackness, the vast African skies offered the only sign that the outside world hadn’t come to a standstill. In the morning we saw that the lion had walked on the road overnight, his paw prints pressed into yesterday’s tyre tracks. We set off for another morning inching through the sand: another day of shifting landscapes and raw (原始的), wild beauty; another night lit by fireflies and shooting stars. 【1】What can we learn from the passage? A.The author and his friend toured the Reserve without difficulty. B.There were many cows in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. C.The lion walked along the tyre tracks and attacked the jeep at night. D.The author and his friend suffered much heat in the daytime. 【2】What does the underlined word “precious” mean in the passage? A.Clean. B.Enjoyable. C.Valuable. D.Enough. 【3】What can you infer from the last paragraph? A.The jeep’s tyre was destroyed by the lion at night. B.The lion didn’t get close to the author’s jeep at night. C.The author didn’t think the reserve worth visiting. D.The natural beauty appealed to them to go on bravely. 【4】Which of the following is the best title? A.A Roaring Lion B.An African Wilderness Tour C.Extremely Hot Weather D.African Wild Beauty |

On a winter day in early March of 2018, a group of teachers were sitting in rows in a meeting room at the Bethlehem school district center. Mary Doe Donecker, an educational expert from an organization, stood in the front of the room, calling out words: “Tell me the first sound you hear in ‘Eunice’?” This was a class on the science of reading. The Bethlehem district has spent about $3 million on training, materials and support to help its early elementary teachers any principals learn the science of how reading works and how children should be taught. In the class, teachers spent a lot of time going over the sound structure of the English language. Since the starting point for reading is sound, it’s important for teachers to have a deep understanding of this. But research shows they don’t. Michelle Bosak, who teaches English as a second language in Bethlehem, said that when she was in college, she was taught almost nothing about how kids learn to read. Bosak was one of the first group of teachers in Bethlehem to attend the new, science—based classes. For many teachers, the classes were as much about forgetting old ideas about reading as they were about learning new things. First—grade teacher Candy Maldonado thought she was teaching her students what they needed to know about letters and sounds. But that was it. She didn’t think it was important to talk in detail about how words are made up of sounds and how letters represent those sounds. Maldonado had been a teacher for more than a decade. She had no idea how kids learn to read. It was “almost like it’s automatic (自动的)” to her. So her first reaction (反应) after learning about the reading science was shock: Why wasn’t I taught this? Then guilt: What about all the kids I’ve been teaching all these years? 【1】Who were the classes intended for? A.The high school teachers. B.The elementary students. C.The educational experts. D.The elementary educators. 【2】What do we know about Michelle Bosak? A.She deeply understood reading science at first. B.She teaches English as mother language in Bethlehem. C.She was among the first teachers to attend the classes. D.In college she was taught about how kids learn to read. 【3】How did Maldonado react after she attended the reading science? A.She was pitiful and shameful. B.She was shocked and excited. C.She was worried and guilty. D.She was shocked and guiltly. 【4】What’s the main idea of the whole passage? A.Teachers learn the science of reading. B.Teachers have trouble in reading. C.What teachers do with reading. D.How teachers learn reading English. |
