It remains a curiosity and a bit of a historical mystery why we don't all drive on the same side of the road. The fact is that most people are right-handed; that's why, for much of history, drivers have stuck to the left. Ancient Romans using two-wheeled carriages are believed to have held the reins(韁繩) with their right hands and a whip with their left; to avoid whipping the near drivers, they favored the left-hand side the road. It's also easier for right-handers to get on a horse from the left, so riders were attracted to that side to avoid the near traffic as they climbed on and off. Finally, knights(騎士) and the other drivers favored the left so they could do battle, if necessary, with their good hand.

So why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, people in upper class drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasantry to the right. During the violence, fearful rich people sought to mix with the peasantry by traveling on the right as well. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-handed conquest, like Great Britain, kept their left-handed tradition.

1.Who had a major effect on “keep-right” traffic law?

A. Ancient Romans B. Hitler

C. Napoleon D. Austrians

2. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered.

B. Hitler ordered right-hand traffic in Austria.

C. Great Britain escaped right-handed conquest.

D. The reasons that most of the world drives on the right side.

3.What does the word peasantry in the last paragraph mean?

A. People in upper class.

B. Right-handers.

C. Drivers.

D. Poor people.

4. Apart from Great Britain, which country mentioned in the text keeps left-hand

traffic?

A. France B. Ancient Rome

C. Russia D. Germany

Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.

Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.

But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, “Year-round schools don’t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year.”

Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.

But calling them “summer school” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. In American culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.

1. According to the first paragraph, the summer learning gap _____.

A. helps children to gain weight

B. leads children to work harder

C. improves children’s memories

D. affects children’s regular studies

2. Compared to traditional schools, students in the year-round ones _____.

A. perform better and have more learning gains

B. have much less time for relaxation every year

C. have generally the same number of class days

D. hold more classes with more free weeks off

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Students from poor families often fall behind after the vocation.

B. Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.

C. There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.

D. Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation.

4. Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?

A. Because they cherish the children’s rights of freedom very much.

B. Because they are worried about the quality of the “summer school”.

C. Because they want their children to be forced to make up the gap.

D. Because they couldn’t afford to the further study during the vacation.

IMAGINE that you are in school, giving a speech to your class.

Now think what it feels like when stammering(口吃)makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.

The King’s Speech, which won the best picture at

the Academy Awards, highlights(突出) stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britain’s King George Ⅵ, who became king after his brother Edward Ⅷ gave up the crown to marry an American woman.

As a result of British actor Colin Firth’s performance, people are starting to realize that stammering can damage a person’s self-confidence and cause him/her to escape from life.

“The problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.

“Stammering masks(遮蓋) your ability,” he said, “It's a serious disability(殘疾).”

Most stammerers face bullying(欺負(fù)) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”.

George Ⅵ’s stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. “Some simply don't like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public,” she said.

Travis Treats from Saint Louis University’s department of communication sciences in the US, praised The King’s Speech. He said it shows that “how one’s speech does not mean what one is inside”.

He also added that people who stammer need to be heard and our society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world.

1. What is the point of the first two paragraphs?

A. To tell readers about speech speaking.

B. To show how harmful a stammer is.

C. To draw the attention of readers to the problem of a stammer.

D. To show how a stammer makes a person popular

2. According to the article, King George Ⅵ _____.

A. was a hero during World War Ⅱ

B. took the place of his brother

C. married a divorced American woman

D. was a failure because of his stammer

3. What is Norbert Lieckfeldt’s view of the challenge of a stammer?

A. A stammer can destroy a person’s self-confidence.

B. A stammer is a serious problem for many people but it is often ignored.

C. People who stammer need to have their own voice.

D. People who stammer do better in work than in school.

Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.

Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.

The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.

The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat (拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!

1. You need to build a positive self-image when you _____.

A. dare to challenge yourself

B. feel it hard to change yourself

C. are unconfident about yourself

D. have a high opinion of yourself

2. How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?

A. To keep a different image of others.

B. To make your life successful.

C. To understand your own world.

D. To change the way you think.

3. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to prepare for your success.

B. How to face challenges in your life.

C. How to build a positive self-image.

D. How to develop your good qualities.

Scott Langteau has this message for kids：Spend less time playing video games.

It's a message that many a mom and dad has tried to impress upon many a youngster(and some not?so?youngsters)who spends perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.

But the 40?year?old Langteau isn't a parent.He's experienced at video games－one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co?founded his own game development company.

Langteau has just published a children's book called“Sofa Boy”，which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controllers held in hand and the rather dire consequences that follow.

It's a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau's own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his painful struggle against game addiction.But first，Langteau would like make one thing clear：I'm not saying that you shouldn't play video games.I think video games are great.I think they do great things for kids.Instead，Langteau says his book is all about a little something called“moderation(克制)”．

“It's about being well rounded，”he says.“Just like with anything else，we all need to make sure that there's a variety in what we do.”

Video gamers can be rather bad?tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all，most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders－people who don't play video games and certainly don't understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

But Langteau and“Sofa Boy”seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to.After all，this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.

A．The book tells of the writer's own story.

B．The book describes an experienced gamer.

C．The boy in the book wins a medal for games.

3.．We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．Langteau advises the young to play games within limits

B．Langteau advises the young not to play games

C．playing video games ruins the future of kids

D．playing video games is of no benefit to kids
