26、Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”

The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”

“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.

“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”

27、We’ve all seen them. They were the unfamiliar and often socially awkward kids. “Who are they?” we all whispered. When we asked our parents about these kids, they replied in that slightly high-nosed tone, “Oh, they’re homeschooled.”

Despite the disgrace which still surrounds homeschooling, parents who choose this form of education are finally getting their benefits. Since 1999, the number of parents who choose to homeschool their children has grown by 75%. And although the number of children in a homeschooling environment still only account for only 4% of the total number of school-going youth, the number of parents choosing to give up “traditional” public education is growing seven times faster than the rate of children being enrolled in public schools each year.

For those who argue that these numbers do not justify the effectiveness of a homeschooled education, we might instead look to the statistics. The typical homeschooled child scores in the 65th to 89th percentile on standardized testing, while the average child in a public school environment scores somewhere around the 50th percentile. Further, homeschooled children have been shown to score consistently higher on the ACT and go on to earn higher GPAs as college students. Homeschooled children have even been shown to achieve four year degrees at much higher rates than students from public school and private schools.

The benefits don’t stop there. Whereas the average total expenditures for a child in public school is near $10,000 a year, those for the homeschooled child average is somewhere between $500 and $600 a year. So not only does homeschooling provide educational benefits, but it provides financial payoffs as well.

But what about socialization? Homeschooled children are considered by many to lack basic social skills, supporters of homeschooling claim this is not true. The National Home Education Research Institute claims that homeschooled children have actually shown to become more socially engaged individuals than their peers, showing “healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood.”

So what might the future bring? Will more parents opt for homeschooling than public schooling? And what can be done to stop the apparent downfalls in public schooling?

【1】The underlined words “Oh, they’re homeschooled” in Para. 1 suggests that parents__________.

A．are proud of their own children

B．respect homeschooled kids

C．don’t accept socially awkward kids

D．have a low opinion on homeschooling

【2】From Para. 2 we know that the trend of homeschooling __________.

A．is worrying

B．is on the rise

C．remains consistent

D．is going downward

【3】The statistics in Para. 3 is used to show__________.

A．homeschooled kids do better

B．public school education is more effective

C．homeschooled children earn higher GPS at college

D．public school children score in the 50th percentile

【4】The author’s attitude towards homeschooling is __________.

A．critical

B．negative

C．supportive

D．neutral

28、When Cath Pirret and her husband Iain took their daughters Jessie, 10, and Holly, 7, to Britain earlier this year, it was a trip that was all about showing the girls where their parents grew up. But there were also some key sightseeing opportunities, such as Stonehenge, Hadrian’s Wall and Tate Modern, before heading to Paris to see the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.

So, what did the couple from Melbourne hope their girls would get from the trip? "A greater understanding that travel is not a difficult thing to do," Cath says."Some of the highlights are to meet new people and adapt to lots of different situations."

Cath believes that children, in order to truly benefit from travel, need to be old enough to understand and appreciate the experience. Sydney-based ABC Radio broadcaster and film critic C.J. Johnson travelled a lot with his parents as a child. His father was "really into rivers" and decided he was going to make it the "family mission" to see the "seven great rivers of the world".

There’s no doubt, thanks to a richer society and the greater ease and access to all forms of travel, that few — if any — generations of parents and children have ever had the ability to journey together as far, as wide and as deep as the present one.Travel brings history to life, builds children’s independence and opens their minds. A child’s view also helps adults to see the world through new eyes.

For Keith Bellows, the award-winning editor-in-chief of the American National Geographic Traveler magazine says the world is simply"the greatest classroom we have". He’s convinced, like Spicer, that any parent willing and financially able to give the gift of travel offers a gift that keeps on giving.

"Children who learn to travel will travel to learn," he says. "And they will do it all their lives."

With that in mind, Bellows, a father of three, wrote a book, 100 Places that Can Change Your Child’s Life.

【1】Why did the couple take their daughters to Britain?

A.To prove their parents grew up in a rich country.

B.To meet the friends and relatives in Britain.

C.To help them enjoy their wonderful holidays.

D.To assist them to get benefit from travelling.

【2】The couple and their kids .

A.went to see the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo first

B.visited Hadrian’s Wall and Tate Modern in France

C.first stayed in Britain and then went to France

D.only preferred to have the key sightseeing trips

【3】When Johnson was a child, .

A.he made a decision to see the greatest rivers

B.he fully understood his family mission

C.he was forced to keep his father company

D.he learned a lot and developed a broad outlook

【4】Now many children can travel around the world .

A.because they are lucky to have good parents

B.because they were just born in rich families

C.because they are living in a prosperous society

D.because they are longing for new knowledge

【5】We can learn from the passage that .

A.children who learn to travel will travel to learn

B.Keith Bellows objects to taking children to travel

C.children will purchase gifts for their parents

D.Keith Bellows is managing a famous TV show

29、Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.

But for many people the thought of food as first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.

For those who feel pain or guilt about not earing breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with not taking breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition（营养）at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor doe giving people breakfast improve performance.”

Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”

【1】For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______.

A. the missing of breakfast does no harm to one’s health.

B. several studies have been done in the past few years.

C. adults have especially made studies in this field.

D. eating little in the morning is good for health.

【2】The underlined sentence “…nor doe giving people breakfast improve performance” in the 3rd paragraph means ______.

A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance.

B. not giving people breakfast improves performance.

C. people having breakfast do improve their performances, too.

D. having breakfast does not improve performance, either.

【3】The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to ______.

A. stories, poems, plays, etc.

B. written works on particular subject.

C. any printed material.

D. the modern literature of America.

【4】What is suggested but NOT STATED by the author is that ______.

A. breakfast does not affect performance.

B. Dr. Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning.

C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children.

D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London.

31、Recitation

In western cultures, 【1】 eye contact in conversation is necessary. As a matter of fact, a westerner might consider a lack of eye contact as a lack of interest. In Spain, Italy and Greece, where people stand close together talking to each other, eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.

In many Asian cultures, people avoid eye contact to show respect. It is done when talking with anyone in 【2】 or with anyone older.

Habits like this can cause problems when people do not understand them. For example, an Asian person might close his or her eyes in 【3】 or look down while listening to a speaker. A Western speaker might thing the person is not interested.

Eye contact is a 【4】 thing. A lack of eye contact may be considered impolite. But if you stare at others, it is also considered rude and should be avoided.
