26、The Health Benefits of Gardening

Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. This outdoor activity gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. 【1】

Reduces loneliness

Gardening connects people. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. 【2】 Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and gardeners are no different. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.

【3】

Gardening is a great activity to do with children. Children can learn about nature and wildlife. Gardening can teach a child about where food comes from and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the limits of natural resources and the importance of using them carefully.

Vitamin D

【4】 This means you are getting Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies use calcium. That is necessary to keep bones strong. Vitamin D also helps us fight diseases.

Exercise

When you garden you must move around. All the different movements needed for gardening — bending, twisting, stretching and lifting — work small muscles in the body. And you can easily get a good work out when you are digging holes or pulling weeds.

Brain health

Gardening may help your brain stay young. Activities such as gardening use many repeated actions, such as weeding or dead-heading (removing dying flowers from a plant). 【5】 The brain is still active but not in the same way that it is, say, when we use computers. In our technology-filled lives, gardening offers a chance to unplug. You cannot hold a phone or other electronic devices when your hands are filled with dirt.

A．Gardening can be a great teacher.

B．But it also gives us many health benefits.

C．Harvests from gardening are organic food.

D．These actions have a calming effect on the brain.

E．So it is a perfect time to socialize with your neighbors.

F．When you are in your garden, you might feel the sunshine on your skin.

G．Gardening can also give you the feeling that you have done something good.

27、Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. Ninety percent of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 ~15 minutes a day, and then other teachers basically teach it for 60 ~ 70 minutes a day — which really is pretty much for handwriting.

Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.

Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop until high school. But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.

But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt University says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we have learned? More than 75 per cent of students choose to print their essays on the test rather than write in cursive.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1? ________.

A．Teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching job

B．Most teachers prefer to teach handwriting

C．Teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting

D．The keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely

【2】Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?

A．The students are taught by practising for a long period.

B．The letters are repeated many times.

C．Handwriting includes two skills.

D．To write in cursive is taught first.

【3】The best title for the passage is ________.

A．How to improve handwriting in school

B．Right or wrong: the death of handwriting

C．Handwriting involves two skills

D．Handwriting lessons are on the way out

【4】The author’s attitude towards whether to still learn handwriting in school is________.

A．negative

B．objective

C．critical

D．unconcerned

28、Choosing the Right Path to Be a“Better”Person

Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement．In the rush to achieve，the idea of being“better”can become lost sometimes．You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way． 【1】

Explore your talents．

Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests．So it’s often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you．

【2】 For example，people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club，but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be．Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you’11 enjoy．

【3】

No matter how much money you make．you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate．It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy．

If you’re particularly unhappy at your job，consider why．【4】 If you feel your job isn’t meaningful，or isn’t in line with your values，consider finding another job．

Experience something new．

Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone，we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it．【5】   Because of that，we may react slowly to our own positive experiences and interactions with others，even when those are little scary．Doing so can help you achieve more．

A．Do what you love．

B．Here are some tips for you．

C．Register in a class you’re interested in．

D．Humans adapt very quickly to positive events．

E．It’s possible that some changes may change your feeling．

F．Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities．

G．Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life．

29、   Recently I attended several meetings where we talked about ways to attract students and keep younger faculty members from going elsewhere. It seems higher education has become an industry of meeting-holders whose task is to “solve” problems — real or imagined. And in my position as a professor at three different colleges, the actual problems in educating our young people and older students have deepened, while the number of people hired — not to teach but to hold meetings — has increased significantly. Every new problem creates a new job for an administrative fixer. Take our Center for Teaching Excellence. Contrary to its title, the center is a clearing house (信息交流中心) for using technology in classrooms and in online courses. It's an administrative sham (欺诈) of the kind that has multiplied over the last 30 years.

I offer a simple proposal in response: Many of our problems — class attendance, educational success, student happiness and well-being — might be improved by cutting down the bureaucratic (官僚的) mechanisms and meetings and hiring an army of good teachers instead.

If we replaced half of our administrative staff with classroom teachers, we might actually get a majority of our classes back to 20 or fewer students per teacher. This would be an environment in which teachers and students actually knew each other. The teachers must be free to teach in their own way — the curriculum should be flexible enough so that they can use their individual talents to achieve the goals of the course.

Additionally, they should be allowed to teach, and be rewarded for doing it well. Teachers are not people who are great at and consumed by research and happen to appear in a classroom. Good teaching and research are not exclusive, but they are also not automatic companions. Teaching is an art and a craft, talent and practice; it is not something that just anyone can be good at. It is utterly confusing to me that people do not recognize this, despite the fact that pretty much anyone who has been a student can tell the difference between their best and worst teachers.

【1】What does the author say about present-day universities?

A．They are effectively addressing real or imagined problems.

B．They often fail to combine teaching with research.

C．They are over-burdened with administrative staff

D．They lack talent to fix their deepening problems.

【2】According to the author, what kind of people do universities lack most?

A．Good classroom teachers.

B．Efficient administrators.

C．Talented researchers.

D．Motivated students.

【3】What does the author imply about the classes at present?

A．They facilitate students' independent learning.

B．They help students form closer relationships.

C．They have more older students than before.

D．They are much bigger than is desirable.

【4】What is the author’s suggestion for improving university teaching?

A．Creating an environment for teachers to share their teaching experiences.

B．Hiring more classroom teachers and allowing them to teach in their own way.

C．Using high technology in classrooms and promoting exchange of in formation.

D．Cutting down meetings and encouraging administrative staff to go to classrooms.

30、While I was cycling, I saw a man in front of me, about half a mile far. Noticing the man was ________ at a speed lower than me, I decided to overtake (超过) him.
