children and force them to serve in the army. The reason is that the enemy isn"t likely to suspect children as
a real threat. Many non-government organizations are also known to abduct and force children into being
child soldiers. Below we have some quotes from former child soldiers.
"The army was a nightmare. We suffered greatly from the cruel treatment we received. We were often
beaten, mostly for no reason at all, just to keep us in a state of terror. I still have a scar on my lip and sharp
pains in my stomach from being violently kicked by the older soldiers. The food was not enough, and they
made us walk with heavy loads, much too heavy for our small bodies. They forced me to learn how to fight
the enemy."
— Emilio, 14
They gave me pills that made me crazy. When the craziness got in my head, I beat people on their heads
and hurt them until they bled. When the craziness got out of my head, I felt guilty. If I remembered the person,
I went to them and apologized. If they did not accept my apology, I felt bad.
— Michael, 13
As seen in the quotes, the army is not very friendly toward children. Forced to act like adults, kill like
adults, and carry an adult"s load, these children sometimes die from exhaustion (筋疲力尽). Below are some
facts about child soldiers.
Today, as many as 300,000 children under the age of 18 serve in government forces or armed rebel
groups. Some are as young as eight years old. Children are most likely to become child soldiers if they have
no money to buy food and clothes. Many children join armed groups because of economic or social pressure,
or because children believe that the group will offer food or safety. Child soldiers are used all over the world.
Here is a list of where child soldiers are used.
B. the enemy doesn"t consider children as a threat
C. there aren"t enough adults to join the army
D. they think children are very easy to control
B. Happy
C. Boring
D. Terrible
B. apologize to people
C. beat people violently
D. feel guilty about himself
B. have lost their parents
C. are loyal to their country
D. are braver than other children

clothes for boring school uniforms (校服). But not all campuses are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes,
school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses.
"The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises
on the playground," said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. "But the boys wear different
sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express
yourself," said Qing.
Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school,
especially shoes, according to Qing. "Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have
items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date," Qing added. He explained that "Since Liu Xiang ran
so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn. "Still in fashion are the various baseball
caps and American-style T-shirts with random (随意的) English words printed on them," said Qing. Besides
sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express
their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating (装饰) them with small hanging
dolls. Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this term.
"Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this at school and criticized it as a childish
regression (退化). But some girls just love it," said Yang Rui, a Senior 3.
B. All of our exercises are the same.
C. We all look like twins.
D. We all have the similar fashions.
B. They wear school uniforms.
C. They have different decorations in their hair.
D. They drink water from colorful drink containers.
B. Baseball caps and American-style T-shirts.
C. Colorful drink containers.
D. Running shoes.
B. report students" great love for fashion
C. criticize a childish regression at campuses
D. discuss about school uniforms
Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That"s because we group
people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports
activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?
We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears
for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it"s
so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the
young.
A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed.
But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the
children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never
been less lonely," the reporter said. The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor
showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadn"t gotten out of bed in a week
suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child.
Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my
husband put it, "my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
Grandchildren speak of attention they don"t get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling
me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell
which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
B. the young can"t get enough money to support the old
C. different generations have different lifestyles
D. the old are too weak to live with the young
B. old people in America enjoy banana bread
C. she had no time to take care of her children
D. old people are easy to get along with
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the image of life
D. the baby"s mother would take care of them
I am a college student. Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students. Some of my
roommates are very intererted in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about
them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as part of life. I"ve begged (乞求) them to give it up,
but they wouldn"t listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do
something else?
Ted,
Dear Ted:
Drop it. Your roommates, as grown-ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn"t
break school rules or violate (防碍) other people"s interests.
Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation (放松) from hard study. If they play too often, have little
time to study, and they will reap what they have sown, but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only
harm your good name in your dormitory (宿舍). However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet
when you need sleep. If they aren"t angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps,
in return, join them in a game or two.

couch-potato becomes maybe even a part of the American tradition! You see, in America, many people often
spend their free time sitting on a couch (沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV
can be quite interesting and very addictive (上瘾的). One may sit and watch TV for hour and hour without
stop! Well, these people who do nothing all day except watching TV are called couch-potatoes.
In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these
people look so frozen that they almost look dead! Everyone is sitting still (静止的) with eyes looking right into
the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don"t take exercise and usually get
very fat. So in many ways, these people look like real potatoes! Well, because they look so still and fat, and
watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes. Now you know what couch-potato means. The
next time if you see someone watching TV too long, just say, "What a couch-potato!"

diagrams, lotus flowers, and clustering. As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students
were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them
in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson. I find
that creativity (创新) can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency (流利程度).
Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholar in the arts, psychology (心理学),
business, education, and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Sternberg
is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as"the ability to produce
work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation)". This definition is useful, as
we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly. Most scholars
say there are two types of creativity: big "C" creativity and small "c" creativity. Big "C" creativity refers
to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small "c"
creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on the latter.
While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our
aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways.
B. hoping to have a bell
C. expecting the end of the class
D. wanting to speak in class
B. useful
C. scientific
D. creative
B. creative in the sense of small "c" creativity
C. not creative in the sense of big "C" creativity
D. not creative in the sense of small "c" creativity
B. explain what creativity is
C. discuss how one can be creative
D. tell what teaching aims
