People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.

These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A while one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valuable than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting cards stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

1. Which is not a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?

4. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, ________.

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much., he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.

But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for his act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says , what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(daily) work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that they can’t find the way to get to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ______.

A.listening to the advice of grown-ups.

B.asking adults many questions.

C.making mistakes and having them corrected.

D.doing as other people do by themselves.

2. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?

A.Give children correct answers.

B.Allow children to make mistakes.

C.Tell the children what is wrong with their work as often as possible.

D.Let children judge their own work.

3. According to the writer, teachers in school should ______.

A.encourage children to learn from each other.

B.point out children’s mistakes whenever they are found.

C.correct children’s mistakes as much as possible.

D.teach children more knowledge from book.

4.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ______.

A.different from learning other skills.

B.the same as learning other skills.

C.more important than other skills.

D.unnecessary skills.

5.. Which of the following may serve as the best title of this passage?

A.Let Us Teachers Stop Working.

Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman Empire. But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.

In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice(威尼斯)in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education-but only for the rich.

In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.

In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.

Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries.

The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.

Thus tourism grew, in 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything-plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food-and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry was born and began to take off.

1.When tourism first started in Roman times, people ______.

A.just visited the countryside.

B.visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time.

C.stayed in friends’ town for weeks or even months.

D.just visited friends and families within the Roman Empire.

2.. In the early times, the travelers ______.

A.all came from Roman.

B.were very young and strong.

C.had lots of money.

D.traveled by boat.

3. ______ played the most important role in the tourism development.

A.Education.

B.Money.

C.Transportation.

D.People’s ideas.

4. Package tour was born ______.

A.in the 20th century.

B.in Roman times.

C.in the early 17th century.

D.in the 19th century.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.

In China, with one or two parents going out to earn money, many children are left in their hometown in the countryside. These children are called “leftover children”. A large number of leftover children have emerged since 1978, and the statistics showed in 2004, the total is 22 million.

Usually their grandparents or their parents’ friends or relatives look after these leftover children. Sometimes they are brought up by one of their parents at home. In most cases, their guardians are not quite educed. To them, making sure that the children are healthy and fed well is the most important task, and that the children are safe and sound is considered to have done a good job. But they seldom care about children’s study, their psychological needs, or mental demands. Neither do they spend some time teaching kids how to develop good habits.

Therefore ,for most of the time, the leftover children can’t get emotional support from their parents, which can result in so many problems.

写作内容

1、以约30个词概括上文的内容

2、然后以约120词就 “如何关心农村留守儿童(leftover children)的成长?”这个话题发表你的看法,并包括以下要点:
