"We expected our first child to be perfect." Most parents have thought so.

I know that's what I ______ with our oldest son, Joe. He would be perfect. Joe would sail through school from learning ABCs to being awarded a Ph.D..

Joe, however, had other ideas.

He was always a ______ kid. He wasn't the kind of boy who threw _____ at passing cars on a freezing winter day or who ________ water balloons on the mailman during the heat of August. ____ he wasn't perfect. Especially when it came to that nice little ______ that I had about sailing through school. From the day Joe started kindergarten he struggled with scissors and handwriting and math. Always math. He passed each grade with great effort, ______ at the top of his class.

How I ______friends who had children with the "math gene". A mom told me her daughter was doing high school algebra(代數(shù)) ______ in the sixth grade. Another mom said her son had just taken first place in the district’s annual Math Challenge.

After hearing these stories, I would look at Joe and wonder: Why didn't we ______ a mathematical talent? How is he ever going to get into college if he does not get ______ at math? Needless to say, my motherly worry never really amounted to much. Does it ever? Moms tend to worry and worry, while whatever they’re worrying about usually disappears ______.

During high school, Joe slowly improved at math. He _______ algebra I & II, and geometry, our state requirements for math. I felt greatly _______ at his little achievement. Then he announced that he' d take pre-calculus (微積分) in his last year of high school, ______ surprised me a lot.

"Why?" I questioned.

"Because I need to keep my skills up," he explained." I _____ math, but I need to take it so I don’t forget how to do it."

"For college," he added. "I want to do _______ well in college, Mom. I know it will be hard, but I think it’s ________ that I try to do my best."

My oldest son wasn't perfect. He wasn't a math talent, either. But he knew what was important: he was focusing on his future while I was worrying over his _______. And that, to me, is even better than being ______.

Is pricing a plane ticket based on the passenger's weight fair? If you're taking an international flight on Samoa Air today, your fare will be based on your weight, along with that of your luggage. The cost is 93 cents to $1.06 for each kilogram.

The average American woman weighs 75.5 kilograms, far from the ideal weight for her average height. Her ticket on Samoa Air, at the $1 a kilogram rate, would cost $75.50. But let's be honest here. Since the average American woman is overweight, the ticket will cost her more.

Samoa Air Chief Executive Chris Langton said, “Planes are run by weight and not by seat. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weight and that weight needs to be paid.”He believes other airlines should adopt the policy.

It’ s not a new idea. I remember a newspaper columnist years ago who put forth the idea that the heavier among us should pay more for their seats on planes, trains and buses. Who hasn’ t been squeezed into a middle seat between two plus-sized folks on a flight? It’ s happened to me; one time my married seatmates had purposefully chosen their seats to have more space until a sold-out flight put me between them. Not one of my better flying experiences.

What if such a policy is adopted by some airlines in the United States? Could such pricing provide a much-needed motivation for Americans to reduce body weight? I hope so. But, as we know, more than one-third of us are obese and another third are overweight. The high probability is that the heavy customers will not suddenly lose weight or stop flying, but will instead choose a different airline, simply moving the supposed problem elsewhere.

There's no doubt that the heavier will suffer more discrimination (歧視). Discrimination against the overweight in the United States has increased by 66 percent over the last decade —“and is comparable to rates of racial discrimination, especially among women,”wrote Yale University researcher Rebecca M. Puhl. Your weight can affect your salary, your chances for employment, how others view you and even, now, your air fares.

“If the policy succeeds it may encourage the spread of body discrimination across different industries and the wider culture,” said one British editorial writer. He holds that it is companies' duty to provide equipment that meet the needs of their customers.

And we'll see how effective it is as a business model.

1. In Paragraph 3, Chris Langton _____.

A. explained the reasons for the ticket policy

B. showed the difficulties of the ticket policy

C. expressed his doubt about the ticket policy

D. discussed the advantages of the ticket policy

2.If some American airlines adopt the ticket policy_____.

A. they will possibly lose a lot of customers

B. there will be less overweight people

C. people will use other forms of transportation

D. the problem of overweight planes will be partly solved

3. The author mentions Puhl's study to show_____.

A. women are less likely to suffer discrimination

B. racial discrimination is getting worse nowadays

C. the ticket policy will have little influence on the obese

D. the ticket policy will make body discrimination more serious

4.Which best describes the British editorial writer's attitude to Samoa Air's policy?

A. Optimistic. B. Defensive.

C. Disapproving. D. Casual.

Li Hua is an English learner who want to improve his reading skills, and he rarely practices. Yesterday he came and asked us for advices. “Any good athlete,” I said, “who will tell you he practices hardly to get in shape and achieve high honors. Seldom we hear of any athlete becoming a champion without any effort. We consider training to be a part of the game. Once he is in shape, it is easier of an athlete to succeed. Reading skills develop the same way. Any person who reads a lot are bound to improve his reading comprehension.” Feeling ashamed, Li Hua made upon his mind to practice more in future.

The average（平均的）American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒謬的) sayings have appeared:

*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.

*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.

*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.

*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap (小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.

1.Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?

A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.

B. they will improve children’s ability to get along with others.

C. They are likely to make children more aggressive.

D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.

2.Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?

A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.

B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.

C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.

D. Children like to snack while watching TV.

3.What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep?

A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.

B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced.

C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.

D. It will make children sleep easier.

4.What is the purpose of this text?

A. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.

B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.

C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.

D. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.
