Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents, because their parents are migrant workers.
Li Ling, 11, is a left-behind child. Her parents have been working in Zhejiang for 10 years, while she lives with her grandparents in Guangdong. She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival. As the number of migrant workers in China increases, the number of left-behind children is rising fast. Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17. They account for 37. 7 percent of rural children and 21. 88 percent of all Chinese children
The large number of left-behind children has already become a social issue. If left unsolved, it will cause serious problems, Wang Zhenyao, director of the China Philanthropy Research Institute, told China Daily. The education level of adults supervising（監(jiān)管） these children is generally not that high. They can only take care of the children's personal safety and daily living, being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs. Meanwhile, the absence of parental support will make some left-behind children lack self-confidence. They may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers. Others may even become "problem youths".
To solve this problem, the government is taking action. For instance, 30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are. However, Wang suggested that the country do more, such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns. He also said that a well-balanced child welfare system is needed. "These children are the future of the nation, so they deserve our loving care and protection," Wang said.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources , we are short of  others,  for example,  fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,  what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life,  we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing,  turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need,  and so on. Little by little,  everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day,  if we do our best.
【小題1】From the passage we know that some students often ________ in the school.

“How to Train Your Dragon” by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children’s literature. A child can make a whole alternative universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless, the hero’s hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of a lifetime. However, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children.
Let’s look at “Where the Wild Things Are” for further discussion. The story centers around a lonely eight-year-old boy named Max, who sails away to an island. Creatures living there declare Max their king.
What an amazing piece of children’s literature! A treasure for every child’s library. Yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. Owls were falling from the sky, chicken’s arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world fighting evil as the only human. It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. Hollywood might be right. But more and more its audiences are complaining that there is an increased amount of violence in children’s stories today than in the past.
While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. I truly believe that children’s literature has become more vivid, and more colorful. This is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. What has changed the children’s stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. In some way, children’s literature is just being strangely twisted. I wonder how much influence the author have over this.
【小題1】The Text is mainly about ________.

A．two good books for children
B．how a book is adapted into a film
C．whether children should go to movies
D．whether children’s literature is getting more violent
【小題2】It can be inferred that the film “Where the Wild Things Are” is _______.
A．moving B．frightening C．interesting D．a(chǎn)mazing
【小題3】According to the text, the author thinks that ________.
A．the film industry’s treatment of children’s literature is wrong
B．writers should provide more colorful works for children
C．there is an increase in violence in children’s literature
D．children should read books rather than see films.
【小題4】How does the text mainly develop?
A．By inferring. B．By giving explanations.
C．By providing examples. D．By making comparisons.

Should students do the grading?
The Supreme Court says the practice doesn’t violate(侵犯) a student’s right to privacy, but is it right for students to grade one another?
Walter Potenza, California
The Supreme Court was absolutely correct to say it’s OK for students to grade one another’s homework, quizzes, and tests: in fact, it’s a great idea.
By grading one another’s papers and seeing the problems their classmates have, students double their exposure(暴露) to the troubles that they may meet on future exams and tests. Grading one another’s papers may be one of the best ways for students to reinforce within themselves the ways to master the most difficult parts of what they are learning.
Teachers are underappreciated and underpaid for the number of hours they have to work to be able to teach really well. Grading all their students’ papers can take hours. Some of that time and energy can be saved by spending a few minutes in class, while providing an extremely valuable learning experience.
I understand that some individuals are sensitive to their classmates seeing their work or grades. Any good teacher would be considerate of students who don’t want their classmates to grade their assignments.
Winston Smith, North Carolina
A girl moves back as her classmate announces her failing test grade and hands her the paper. The quiet classroom heats up.
With the increase in student grading over the past few years, scenes like this have become a bitter reality in schools across the nation. Teachers and schools should not advocate student grading and public announcement of grades because it provides a violation of privacy for students and causes unfair judgments and treatment by their classmates.
Since 1974, a law known as the Buckley Amendment has forbidden the release of education records in order to protect the privacy of students and their families. I strongly disagree with the Court’s ruling that this law does not include student grading.
I can think of no greater violation of privacy than the exposure of one’s personal information to a group of peers(同齡人). This can be very embarrassing. Releasing this sort of personal information should be avoided, especially by institutions that seek to provide a supportive environment during essential years of human development.
【小題1】The underlined word “reinforce” has the same meaning as “_________”.

A．changeB．imagineC．strengthenD．create
【小題2】Walter Potenza suggests that ______________.
A．teachers should set aside some time to grade students’ papers
B．the Supreme Court should do more research on students grading
C．teachers should guide students on how to grade homework
D．teachers should be careful not to hurt those sensitive students
【小題3】By mentioning the example of a girl, Winston Smith wants to ____________.
A．show her weak points
B．criticize the student grader
C．tell us she is not a good student
D．present the negative effect of student grading
【小題4】What does Winston Smith seem to agree?
A．Student grading is not related to families’ privacy.
B．The Supreme Court should change its decision.
C．The Buckley Amendment doesn’t apply to student grading.
D．Student grading is OK, but not public announcement of grades.

It is not unusual for people to speak two or three languages; they’re known as bilinguals or trilinguals. Speakers of more than three languages are known as polyglots. And when we refer to people who speak many languages, perhaps a dozen or more, we use the term hyper-polyglot.
The most famous hyper-polyglot was Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th century Italian cardinal, who was said to speak 72 languages. This claim sounds absurd. If you assume each language had 20,000 words, Mezzofanti would have to learn a word a minute, six hours a day, for eleven years—an impossible task. But Mezzofanti was tested by critics, and they were all impressed.
Did Mezzofanti have an extraordinary brain? Or are hyper-polyglots just ordinary people with ordinary brains who manage to do something extraordinary through hard work?
U.S. linguist Stephen Drashen believes that outstanding language learners just work harder at it and then they acquire unusually strong language ability. As an example, he mentions a Hungarian woman who worked as an interpreter during the 20th century. When she was 86, she could speak 16 languages and was still working on learning new languages. She said she learned them mostly on her own, reading fiction or working through dictionaries or textbooks.
Some researchers argue to the contrary. They believe that there is such a thing as a talent for learning languages. In the 1930s, a German scientist examined parts of the preserved brain of a hyper-polyglot named Emil Krebs, who could speak 60 languages fluently. The scientist found that the area of Krebs’s brain called Broca’s area, which is associated with language, looked different from the Broca’s area in the brains of men who speak only one language. However, we still don’t know if Krebs was born with a brain ready to learn dozens of languages or if his brain adapted to the demands he put on it.
Although it is still not clear whether the ability to learn many languages is in born, there’s no doubt that just about all of us can acquire skills in a second, third, or even fourth language by putting our mind to it.
【小題1】What does the underlined sentence imply?

A．Mezzofanti could remember 360 words a day.
B．Mezzofanti had a special way to learn languages.
C．Mezzofanti’s achievement was ridiculous.
D．Mezzofanti language ability was astonishing.
【小題2】The Hungarian woman became a hyper-polyglot mainly because of her __.
A．good memory B．unique brain C．hard work D．learning methods
【小題3】The German scientist’s findings showed that Krebs ___.
A．had an unusual brain
B．was born with great talent
C．had worked hard at languages
D．expected too much of himself
【小題4】The author seems to agree that ___.
A．it is not hard to learn foreign languages
B．hard work plays a part in language learning
C．there is no such thing as a talent for languages
D．hyper-polyglots have an inborn talent for language

Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning(推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.
For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person works in the penguin pen(企鵝圈養(yǎng)地) at a Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.
Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied(欺負(fù))another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!
Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother,Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, this was really much too strange. Cait didn’t know what to do. Just then, Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause and effect, could you tell?
【小題1】According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect?

A．Someone will go outside into cold weather.
B．Someone works in the penguin pen.
C．Someone puts on a heavy jacket.
D．Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.
【小題2】Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. Which of the following isn’t the possible  cause?
A．He bullied another student.B．He is going shopping.
C．He is being picked up early.D．He is being given a prize.
【小題3】 What was Doug doing when his sister Cait tried to fall asleep?
A．He was going outside B．He was reading a story.
C．He was leep walking.D．He was looking for his dad.
【小題4】Which of the following is cause and effect?
A．Tony got up and had a glass of water.
B．We came home and found him sleeping.
C．The ball was lost and a window was broken.
D．Tim was late again and his teacher got angry.

In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments(裝飾) and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.
The furniture may often be “antique（古時(shí)制造的，古董的）”, and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished（精致的）wood of chests（箱子）and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.
The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.
There are also much more humble（卑微的）shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small house-hold pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity(慈善事業(yè)). Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death.
Although the British do not worship（崇拜，敬仰）their ancestors（祖先）, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down, they are restored until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
【小題1】Books found in second-hand book shops may        .

A．be copies of the earliest printing B．be on sale for the first time
C．never be worth very much D．never be rare
【小題2】What is the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?
A．Its sheep. B．Its books. C．Its cinema. D．Its castles.
【小題3】Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because       .
A．they are too expensive for average buyers
B．they remind you of the original owners
C．they are now neglected（忽視，忽略）
D．they are sold for charity
【小題4】 The average British person      .
A．does not respect old things because they are not fashionable
B．likes to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so
C．likes to buy new things because they are fashionable
D．does not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable
【小題5】What does the underlined word “them”(Para.4) refer to?
A．Junk shops. B．Profits from shops.
C．Old things. D．Old houses.
