Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
　　When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn‘t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.
　　She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around classes to keep from getting stiff(不靈活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.
小題1: Mrs Hanson couldn’t go to college immediately after she graduated from high school because _____.
A．she hadn‘t got enough moneyB．she was a country girl
C．the banker ordered her not to borrow any money
D．the banker thought she should raise a family of nine children
小題2:The computer students welcomed Mrs Hanson warmly because ______.
A．she had got an excellent result in the exam
B．she was good at telling funny stories
C．they wanted to get her help in their studies
D．they were deeply moved by her spirit
小題3: Mrs Hanson is the sort of person who ________.
A．cares for study very muchB．likes to borrow money from the bank
C．never misses a chance to talkD．tries to save any money for her family
小題4: In which order did Mrs Hanson do the following things?
　　a. she began her studies at college.
　　b. She finished high school.
　　c. She got married and gave birth of nine children.
　　d. She had her 73 rd birthday.
　　e. She went to the bank to borrow money.

Going to school means learning new skills and facts in different subjects. Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both teaching and learning processes.
Sian Beilock and Susan Leving, two psychologists at the University of Chicago, are trying to learn about learning. In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math. “If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement,” Levine told Science News. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.
Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn—and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.
The new study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.
The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math.
Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teacher’s anxiety. On average, girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus, on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy, 20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math—and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers with math anxiety.
According to surveys done before this one, college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math. Plus, nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women, Levine said.
小題1:Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to ___________.
A．know the effects of teaching on learning
B．study students’ ways of learning math
C．prove women teachers are unfit to teach math
D．find better teaching methods for teachers
小題2:The underlined part in paragraph 2 most probably means that girls may ___________.
A．end up learning math anxiety from their teachers
B．study the ways their female teachers behave
C．have an influence on their math-anxious female teachers
D．gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math
小題3: In the study, what were the teachers required to do?
A．Prepare two math achievement tests for the students
B．Tell their feelings about math problems
C．Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy
D．Compare the students’ scores after the math tests
小題4:What is the finding of the new study?
A．No male students were affected by their teachers’ anxiety
B．Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys
C．About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls
D．Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests
小題5: Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．117 students and teachers took part in the new study
B．The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study
C．Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math
D．Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachers

Design is Liu' s favorite, but for other students the electives are interesting lessons which relieve （舒緩） the pressures of schoolwork．Some students, for example, are learning how to play bridge．Chen Xi,15, is one of them．She said, "Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time．But in fact, bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills．"

The Rolls Royce logo(標(biāo)志)consisting of the two Rs clearly stands for Rolls and Royce, the two founders of this manufacturing company.In 1884 Frederick Henry Royce started an electrical and mechanical business. He made his first car, a “Royce”, in his Manchester factory in 1904.
He was introduced to Charles Stewart Rolls in a Manchester hotel on May 4 that year, and the pair agreed a deal where Royce would manufacture cars, to be sold by Rolls. A clause(條款) was added to the contract, saying the cars would be called “Rolls Royce”.
The current Toyota logo consists of three ovals: the two perpendicular(成直角的)ovals represent a relationship of trust between the customer and Toyota. These ovals combine to symbolize the letter “T” for Toyota. The space in the background implies a global expansion of Toyota’s technology and unlimited potential for the future.
The Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) is a South Korean company manufacturing automobiles. Their automobiles are available in many countries around the globe. In 2003 it was South Korea’s largest car maker and the world’s seventh largest car maker. The Hyundai logo appears to be an H (symbolizing Hyundai). The oval shape indicates the company’s global expansion and the ‘H’ is symbolic of two people (especially the company and customer) shaking hands.
The Mercedes-Benz logo represents one of the most famous brands in the world. The Benz logo is a three-pointed star that represents its domination of the land, the sea, and the air. The famous three-pointed star was designed by Gottlieb Daimler to show the ability of his motors for land, air and sea usage. It was first seen on a Daimler in 1909, and was combined with the Benz laurel wreath in 1926 to symbolize the union of the two firms. Mercedes-Benz is one of the world’s oldest automobile manufacturers.
