Operation Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus(校园). Obey rules and
regulations. Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in dark conditions.
Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for
a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It"s fast, easy, and free.
Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike
stolen.
Equipment
Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fit
properly.
Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the
bike. A taillight is a good idea.
Rules of the Road
Riding on Campus As a bicycle rider, you have a responsibility to ride only on streets and posted
bicycle paths. Riding on sidewalks or other walkways can lead to a fine. The speed limit for bicycles on
campus is 15mph, unless otherwise posted. Always give the right of ways to walkers. If you are involved
in an accident, you are required to offer appropriate aid, call the Department of Public Safety and remain
at the scene until the officer lets you go.
Bicycle Parking Only park in areas reserved for bikes. Trees, handrails, hallways, and sign posts are
not for bicycle parking, and parking in such posts can result in a fine.

past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become
something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while today"s educators are using more and more
technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be
successful-both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it"s
important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various
writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing
with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster
word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student"s writing skills and
found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. "Spelling makes some of the
thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is
allowing our written language to connect with ideas." Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) "those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen," the study said. Seeing the words
in the "mind"s eye" helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to
spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.
"In our computer age, some people believe that we don"t have to teach spelling because we have spell
checks," she said. "But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won"t
have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer."
B. The use of new technologies in teaching.
C. The lack of practice in handwriting.
D. The popular use of smartphones.
B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
D. discussed the importance of writing speed.
A. Spelling improves one"s memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
A. Window.
B. Soul
C. Picture.
D. Imagination.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Handwriting still has a place in today"s classrooms.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

| In order to know a foreign language thoroughly (完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, with confidence(自信) and without hesitation (犹豫). Thirdly, we must do much reading. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar. There are no shortcuts to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is not much learning by heart long lists(一 览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "learn through use." Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can. | |||
| 1. The most important things to learn a foreign language are _____. | |||
| A. understanding and speaking B. listening, speaking, reading and writing C. writing and understanding D. memorizing and listening | |||
| 2. Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because _____. | |||
| A. he doesn"t understand the language when he hears it spoken B. he doesn"t have a good memory C. he always remembers lists of words and their meanings D. he often hesitates(犹豫) to practise speaking it | |||
| 3. One can never learn a foreign language well by _____. | |||
| A. doing much practice B. studying the dictionary C. learning through use D. using the language | |||
| 4. Which is the most important in learning a foreign language? | |||
| A. A good memory. B. Speaking. C. Practice. D. Writing. | |||
| 5. "Learn through use" means _____. | |||
| A. we use a language in order to learn it B. we learn a foreign language in order to use it C. we can learn a language well while we are keeping using it D. B and C. | |||

| A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding. The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield (低产的) rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield. According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone (激素) ethylene (乙烯) makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning. Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is-hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asian to help stabilize production in flood-prone (易受洪水袭击的) areas where rice with the flood-resistant gene is low in production ---about one---third to one-quarter that of regular rice. " Scientifically, the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a harsh environment," he said. "It"s a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding." High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks. Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deepwater field. Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice," he said. | |||
| 1. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes? | |||
| A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases. B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions. C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water. D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time. | |||
| 2. According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found ______. | |||
| A. will be helpful for Southeast Asia B. has been widely used in Southeast Asia C. will be one third more expensive than regular rice D. is lower in production than regular rice | |||
| 3. The underlined word"submerge"in the sixth paragraph probably means _____. | |||
| A. cover B. damage C. produce D. kill | |||
| 4. What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that_____. | |||
| A. rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future B. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future C. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays D. the quality of rice is difficult to improve | |||

| How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; 1 ,the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, 2 animals, somehow 3 certain sounds to express thoughts, actions, and things, 4 they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 5 certain signs, 6 letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and 7 could be written down. These sounds, 8 spoken, or written in letters, we call words. The 9 of words, then, lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with 10 for us by experience. 11 we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our 12 and the more we read and learn, the more 13 words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those 14 not only have great thoughts but also 15 these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is 16 we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a matter of 17 . he can convey (传达) his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can 18 men to tears. We should therefore learn to 19 our words carefully and use them accurately, 20 they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的). | |||
