invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.
The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead.There is no need
for soaking (浸泡), dry cleaning-or even soap.
The Japanese market has taken a liking to the "shower suit", described as "revolutionary" by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian
woolgrowers.Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.
The suit could be worn in the shower, although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger
and carry it instead, AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said."The idea is that you hang it
up and then...you give it a spray (喷雾), and it"s dry the next morning, " Mr Feighan said.
A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies.The secret
is the best lining (内衬), which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate
people, particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late, Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was
also interested.
Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet, or tried to wash it in the shower, because
they cut to fit Japanese figures.
AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India.
Mr Feighan hoped the suit, made from local wool, would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months"
time.

success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
really one"s equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
inner peace under all outside liveliness.
But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
To bring up a child means carrying one"s soul in one"s hand; it means never placing ourselves in
danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the
child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember
that the child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the
other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.
1. The passage mainly talks about________.
A. misleading zones and right ways in educating children
B. current problems in training children
C. what should be taught to children
D. the importance of educating children
2. Children, according to the passage, are experiencing________.
A. corrections, orders and peace
B. orders, interference and peace
C. interference, orders and corrections
D. peace, guide and praise
3. If you were a parent, which of the following methods is TRUE according to the text?
A. You could treat your children not so seriously for they don"t understand many things.
B. You could train your children as you wish them to be.
C. You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.
D. You should correct your children immediately if their behavior is not what you want.
4. We may conclude that the author believes people should________.
A. play with the children with enthusiasm all day long just to please them
B. try to give an order, advice and suggestions to their children at any time
C. treat their children just as the way they treat an adult in their daily life
D. regard their children as an equal to them and have understanding of the inner peace of them
1. Helping them find their talents.In order to succeed, children need to feel they"re good at
something.So expose your children to as many interests as possible, then let them choose those they like
best.
2. Applauding their achievements. A study foundthat students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school-and in life-than students whose parents didn"t show such
support.So celebrate your kids"achievements, no matter how small they are.
3. Praising their efforts. Kids won"t always come out on top.Still, they deserve kudos (赞誉) for
trying their best.Tenyearold April Cutler, for example, has had trouble with math since second grade."She usually gets C"s on her report card, but last year she was determined to get A"s and worked hard at it, "
says her mom."When the first grading period ended, April was disappointed when she got a B minus in
math, " Lueille continues."But my husband and I told her we were very proud that she"d improved.That
inspired her to try even harder.She got a B plus for the next period!"
4. Letting them make decisions and mistakes.Making his/her own decisions increases a child"s
sense of control and builds his/her selfesteem(自尊心). And allowing kids to make wrong decisions-so
long as doing so won"t harm them-helps kids learn from their mistakes.
5. Encouragingthem tosolvetheirown problems.As they grow, children need practice in
communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising.One of the best places to learn these skills
is at home.So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her, step back
and let them work it out.

Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood
pressurelowering drugs.
The researchers, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact
with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors, drugs
taken by millions around the world to lower blood pressure.Fried eggs proved particularly effective, but
more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.
Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to
work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on
increasing heart disease risks.
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said, "The wrong beliefs linking
egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet
has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amount of
cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to limit the number of eggs they eat.They can be
encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature"s most nutritious foods."
The British Heart Foundation dropped its threeeggaweek limit in 2005.However, almost half of
Britons believe the limit still applies.
1. From the text we know that ACE inhibitors are________.
A. a kind of medicine
B. a kind of protein
C. a kind of illness
D. a kind of food
2. According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs________.
A. are the most nutritious food
B. have no effect on blood cholesterol
C. can be included in a healthy diet
D. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
3. We can infer from the text that________.
A. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
B. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
C. most Britons agree the threeeggaweek limit should be dropped
D. about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
4. The text is meant________.
A. to introduce scientific findings about eggs
B. to introduce a medicine made from eggs
C. to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D. to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible
call your teacher or your classmate and ask about homework. It is your responsibility(责任)to find out
what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher"s job to remind you of the missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will
not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test(补考),you should take the test within one
or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.
Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure
to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go
to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the
classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.
In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of " teacher". Also you
should use Mr, Miss, Ms or Mrs before the last name ( such as Mrs Smith or Mr Jones). This is polite.
The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum
during class. Don"t do these until the break. Also, removing your shoes in the classroom is not polite.
1. What should you do if you miss a class?
A. Give an excuse for missing the assignments.
B. Tell the teacher you can"t come to school or do the assignments.
C. Ask your teacher to remind you of the missed assignments.
D. Call your teacher or your classmate to find out what assignments were given.
2. When can a student miss a test according to the passage?
A. When he / she is late for the test.
B. When he/ she is really sick.
C. When he / she failed another test.
D. When he / she doesn"t want to have the test.
3. In America, if your teacher"s name is Susan Black, what should you call her politely?
A. Ms Black
B. Ms Susan
C. Susan Black
D. Teacher Black
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. A student is thought to be impolite when he / she takes off his / her shoes in the classroom.
B. A student is thought to be impolite when he / she eats and drinks in class.
C. When a student is late for class, he / she must knock before he / she enters the classroom.
D. A student is thought to be impolite when he/she doesn"t come for class on time.
through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining
fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths.
As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate (碳酸钙).
By looking through a microscope (显微镜) and counting (数) these rings, Thorrold can determine the
exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly
rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish"s age, just like the growth rings of a
tree.
Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They"re
examining the chemical elements (元素) of each otolith ring.
The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on
any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says
something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within
each otolith ring.
Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water
of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.
In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food
fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many
hundreds of miles.
This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts (行踪) of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists
are now lending Thorrold their ears.
1. What can we learn about fish ears from the text?
A. They are small soft rings.
B. They are not seen from the outside.
C. They are openings only on food fish.
D. They are not used to receive sound.
2. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?
A. Trees gain a growth ring each day.
B. Trees also have otoliths.
C. Their growth rings are very small.
D. They both have growth rings.
3. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?
A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.
B. Chemical contents (含量) of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.
C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.
D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.
4. How would you understand
"fish scientists are now lending their ears"? A. They are very interested in Thorrold"s research findings.
B. They want to know where they can find fish.
C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.
D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.
