Some officials suggested that school hours for children aged 7 to 12 should be cut down, and that they should be encouraged to spend at least an hour a day on team sports. All work and no play makes children depressed. Becky, an 8-year-old girl, used to be happy when she finished classes every day, but now, life has become unhappy. To make sure she has enough time for the lessons, she has to study until 11 at night to finish her homework. Some ideas are offered for helping cultivate (培养) kids’ talents. The ideas include cutting down classroom hours, introducing more team sports for children, getting parents to stop putting too much pressure (压力) on children and some other suggestions. It is believed that all these can help encourage young people to be confident. “I used to go to the park with my parents on weekends. I like playing tennis with my dad and I can play well,” a boy said, “But now, I don’t have time to do that any more.” “I would like to try other things, such as drawing,” Nara said. She was interested in drawing, but her parents thought it was not a bright way for her. Children now spend more time doing homework than playing, and they’re not getting enough sleep. A lot of homework and heavy school bags are driving more young children away from a joyful childhood. Parents believe that being successful in school is a sure way to make their children have a bright future. It was studied that about 80 percent of parents said they expected their children to get a university degree or some form of higher education. About 15 percent of students in primary school and 40 percent in middle school said they thought their parents were not pleased with their marks. “Parents must always be willing to talk to their children and make them happy,” an educationist advised, “Encourage him or her to be confident when he or she faces difficulties. Parents should know what their children like and what they want.” ( )1. Some officials suggested that ________. A) students ought to play less and work more either at school or at home in a day B) students ought to spend much time on their subjects during the school hours C) children aged 7 to 12 should not stay at school for more than seven hours a day D) children aged 7 to 12 should be encouraged to spend an hour a day on team sports ( )2. Becky’s life has become unhappy now because ________.

A) Teachers have more enjoyable life B) Parents expect more talented children C) Students want more time to improve abilities D) Children need more fun to develop talents 2 Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another. It is very 1 because it can help you make yourself easily understood. When you are talking with others, you are not just using words, but also using 2 . For example, waving one’s hand is to say Goodbye. Nodding the head means agreement, while shaking the head means disagreement. The gestures are accepted both by Chinese and foreigners as having the 3 meanings. Different 4 have different body language. For example, men in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet, but men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing. People in Puerto Rico like touching each other, but people in Britain do not touch each other. People in Arab countries like 5 one another when they are talking, but English people must keep a distance away when they are talking. When you use a foreign language, it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country. Following the 6 will help you communicate with people and make your stay there much more 7 and comfortable. Gestures are also the part of the culture and the part of the language. ( )1. A) simple B) popular C) useful D) amusing ( )2. A) expressions B) gestures C) hands D) pens ( )3. A) right B) same C) different D) opposite ( )4. A) people B) groups C) cities D) countries ( )5. A) standing close to B) getting close to C) getting away from D) keeping away from ( )6. A) habits B) hobbies C) customs D) rules ( )7.

The bad news, of course, is that there is no e 1 way to do this. It takes work. Improving your English, like getting better at anything else, means lots of practice. I think you already know enough words and grammar in English to make sentences and to understand English, and the problem you have is as the problem all Chinese students have when they learn English. You go to English class a couple of times a week and the r 2 of the time you speak Chinese. If you come to Canada, your English would improve very q 3 because you would use it all day, every day. It’s just practice. To improve your writing in English, you should do t 4 things. First, you should try to read English as much as possible. It doesn’t matter what you read, so pick something that interests you. Reading English will show you how English words are used together, how English speakers express themselves and so on, so you can learn a lot from that. Then you should practice writing. Ask your teacher if you can get extra assignments and write things like short stories. Your teacher can show you where you make mistakes and how to c 5 them. You can also write more letters to English speakers on the Internet (I will be happy to exchange letters with you if that will help). Don’t worry if you make mistakes b 6 that is how you learn. You say you can not obey your plans. In English we say, “Plan the work, work the plan.” You need a plan and then you need to follow your plan to improve. I hope these ideas are u 7 . I wish you luck, and if you want to write to me I will be happy to try to help you. We can talk about China, about Canada or anything else you like. Best wishes, Brad Flankin 4 Small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean little at the time to the people who say them — can have great power. I recently heard a s 1 from Malcolm Davis, who has been a professional writer for the last twenty-four years, mostly in advertising. As a boy, Davis was t 2 shy and helpless. He had f 3 friends and no self-confidence. Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth White, asked the class to write their own chapter that would f 4 the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Davis wrote his chapter and turned it in. Today he cannot recall a 5 special about the chapter he wrote, or what grade Mrs. White gave him. However, what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.” Four words. They c 6 his life. “Until I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was or what I was going to be,” he said, “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always dreamed of doing but never believed I could do.” Over the r 7 of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. White for instruction. “She was encouraging, helping and honest. She was just what I needed,” Davis said. PAGE 12教育咨询电话：55062928 - 1/ 5-
