举一反三
 Many different tribes live in the Ituri rain forest of Africa, but the Pygmies are the most unusual. Most of the men are not much more than four feet tall. They weigh only about eighty pounds. The women are even smaller and thinner. But in spite of the fact that they are small, these people are perfectly formed men and women.
It is an exciting experience to visit a Pygmy encampment for the first time. Before you go, you must send word ahead that you are coming. Some friendly native or trader must take the message to the Tiki-Tikis. Otherwise the whole tribe will disappear into the depths of the jungle long before you have come close enough to be welcomed.
The great Ituri rain forest seems cut off from the rest of the earth. There are living, dead, and dying trees on every side. Except where a clearing has been burned and chopped out, a man may live his whole life in the Ituri and never see farther than twenty yards.
It takes sharp eyes to discover the almost hidden path to the Pygmy camp. The path is no wider than a small man’s foot. No sound breaks the silence in this part of the forest. There are no signs of people.
The stranger must walk carefully. What appears to be a bent branch may prove to be a deadly snake. A spotted gold patch of sunlight may be a crouching leopard(豹).
Even the Pygmy camp comes as a surprise. The leafy shelters in which the little people live are hardly three feet high. They look so much like the surrounding undergrowth that they might easily be passed by. These houses contain no furniture of any sort. The beds are merely plantain leaves spread out on the earth floor. There are no cooking pots: food is eaten raw or smoked over a fire. Spears, bows and arrows are the only possessions of these people. When the tribe moves to a new camp there is nothing to carry except these weapons and babies too small to walk.
小题1:According to the passage, we can conclude _____.
A.the Pygmies are the shortest tribe worldwide
B.the Pygmies are short but normal in mentality
C.most of the Pygmy men are more than four feet
D.the Pygmies live in the forest of America
小题2:Paragraph 2 mainly suggests that the Pygmies ______.
A.are unwilling to communicate with people outside
B.are very cruel and they will kill you with the spears
C.are friendly to the tourists visiting them for the first time
D.move so fast and often that can’t be caught up with easily
小题3: Which of the following word can describe the life of Pygmy?
A.Quiet.B.Active. C.Hard.D.Busy.
小题4:Which of the following is TRUE of the Pygmy?
A.Their houses can’t be easily found in the hurt rain forest.

D.They are living in harmony with dangerous animals around.

Sometime early in the next century, human beings will move to Mars.They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers.Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.
We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects: general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures.These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project: to terraform Mars.Terraforming means altering a planet’s surface so that Earth’s life forms can survive there.This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.
Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple: add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earth’s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth.But it will take at least 300 years.
Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake, but there are very good reasons to make the attempt.The earth now contains some 6 billion people, and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support.Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species.We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: altering the landscape, the atmosphere and the climate.Currently terraforming Earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and preserve some natural living places.
Small as the possibility of such a project is, it is not impossible.Even if earth-bound societies come and go in the next 300 years, the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth.
The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to terraform Mars.
小题1:What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Terraforming Mars.B.Saving the Earth.
C.Travelling to Mars.D.A Newly-found Place.
小题2:What does the underlined word “altering” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Warming.B.Changing.C.Planting.D.Building.
小题3:According to the passage the main purpose of terraforming Mars is to _____.
A.do some scientific research work
B.find out its similarity to Earth
C.avoid the dying away of many other species
D.find on Mars living place for the increasing human beings
小题4:The main reason for causing many people to consider terraforming Mars is that _____.
A.there are some resemblances between Earth and Mars
B.terraforming Mars is theoretically simple
C.we have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: Earth
D.the development of science and technology is very rapid

Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no oneis

         


 
around to help. Lost in the wilderness
First, you’ve got to acknowledge you’re in trouble. Stay where
you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense
of humor helps too—it reduces stress and helps creative thinking.
In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show
your present position.

 


 
Choking Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part
below the bony upside-down V of the ribs(肋骨). Make a sudden
push against the chair. If you still can’t breathe after six tries, call 911,
even if you can’t talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and
leave the line open until help arrives.



 
Severe bleedingUse your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf,
or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound
until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around
your leg tightly, you’re going to close the vessels(血管)
to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot.
Bear attack



 
If you surprise a bear, don’t run away. That invites an attack. Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the
bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest,
raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to
frighten it. If it’s going to attack, lie facedown, with your hands
held firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you’re sure the bear
is gone.
小题1:When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know    .
A.someone is bleedingB.someone is choking
C.someone is lostD.someone is attacked by a bear
小题2:If you are still choking after six tries, you should         .
A.keep a sense of humorB.call 911 and leave the line open
C.use your hand our clean cottonD.lie down with your hands behind your neck
小题3:Don’t tie around your bleeding leg tightly, or you could        .
A.stop bleedingB.reduce stress
C.lose your footD.cause breathlessness
小题4:The passage is mainly teaching us how to      .
A.survive the emergenciesB.avoid a bear attack
C.deal with a chokeD.find our way

Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school geography teacher in Australia, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking.He wrote some well-organized nonsense (something untrue) on the blackboard.The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions.This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers.The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning (PEEL).
PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals; what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else.Students’ lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity.
Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works.Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they differ from scientific explanations that are learned later.In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching.Students accept the teacher’s scientific explanation, but do not drop their own.They simply keep both and use them practically: in a class test, they copy the teacher’s idea, but in real life they use their own.
Clearly what was needed was to make students understand their learning process(过程), and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with.On the surface,(表面) a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier, because more people are talking.But there are some meaningful changes.Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment.The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected.This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress.
小题1:The aim of Hynes’ experiment was to ______.
A.show that students didn’t think about what they learnt
B.prove the effectiveness of the project known as PEEL
C.test students’ general knowledge about geography
D.encourage students to ask more questions in class
小题2:Why did some teachers and researchers carry out PEEL?
A.To ensure teachers do scientific work.
B.To help students get higher test scores.
C.To find the differences between what is taught and learnt.
D.To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals.
小题3:An important difference between PEEL and non-PEEL classes is that in the PEEL classes ______.
A.the teacher does not give the usual scientific explanations
B.students always have their own knowledge of the subject
C.more attention is paid to the students’ own ideas
D.the best explanations are given by the students
小题4:What is Damien Hynes?
A.He is a teacher who teaches geography in a high school in Australia
B.He is a geography teacher and a researcher in Australia
C.He is a teacher teaching geography in a high school in Austria
D.He is a high school geography teacher in Austria.

There’s a time to get angry, and it’s best for your child if you do. Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react(反应)is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.
  Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “Peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism (批评)to heart.
  When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. Make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people.” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.
小题1:According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?
A.Ask the child not to do it again any time.
B.Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.
C.Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.
D.Let the child know you still love hime or her.
小题2:What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?
A.Calm themselves down before scolding him.
B.Hide their feelings when talking to him.
C.Explain immediately why he was wrong.
D.Speak strongly and angrily to him.
小题3:What could be the best title for the text?
A.Different Ways to Deal with Children’s Wrongdoings
B.Differences among Parents in Dealing with Children
C.Best Ways to Stop Children’s Wrongdoings
D.Research on Preventing Children from Hurting Others
