The sun shines brightly as I leave school, get into my car, and head for Bradley Hospital. This year, as a senior at Seekonk High School, I have been given the opportunity to leave the usual classroom setting once a week to volunteer.

I work 2 a teacher in the outpatient/pre-school section, in a classroom with two children— a classroom very different from 3 I have ever known. The difference of this classroom is 4 the children have been diagnosed with a mental disease. One child is autistic and non-verbal（自闭和不说话的）, using supportive 5 . The other has a condition called PDD (one step above autism), and is 6 non-verbal. Both childrenrequire strong 7 and a lot of attention. This combination creates an atmosphere which is both demanding and sympathetic. My 8 in the classroom is not only to help the teacher, but to become part of the children’s 9 experience. I work one-on-one completing academics with a student. 10 , we work as a group on such activities as cooking, artwork, abstract reasoning.

Zoos divide opinion ： there are those who think it is cruel to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are essential for the survival of endangered species. To argue that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day，over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct. Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild. Zoos have special breeding programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost ceased to exist twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ” Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.，’ However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else! 1.What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos? A．He shows no opinion either for or against them. B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel. C．He believes they play an important environmental role. D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built. 2.The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____. A．remain B．disappear C．become rarer D．get killed 3.According to the passage the world’s tiger population _____. A．will rise by 5% next year B．is relatively stable C．is 95% smaller than in the past D．has fallen to 95% 4.According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they _____ A．are too expensive to run B．put animals in danger C．do not provide enough food D．keep animals locked up 5.According to the writer ，the most important function of the zoo is to _____. A．make a lot of money B．entertain visitors C．ensure animals’ survival D．educate the public

Today, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle was invented in Germany in 1818. Because it was made of wood, it wasn’t very strong nor did it have pedals (脚踏板）.Riders moved it by pushing their feet against the ground. In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan’s machine had iron-covered wheels to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated levers, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the modem bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never produced in large numbers. In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved pedal mechanism. They called their bicycle a velocipede，but most people called it a “bone shaker” because of the effect of the wood and iron frame. Despite the impolite nickname, the velocipede was a hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually, mostly for fun-seeking young people. Ten years later, James Starley , an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals to make the bicycle more efficient，and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top-heavy，and ridden mostly for entertainment. It wasn’t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another Englishman, H. J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists. The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels, which made it easier to ride. Lawson also attached a chain to the pedals to drive the back wheel. By 1893，the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled rubber tires, a diamond-shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by Lawson; bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used, and enjoyed all over the world. 1.This passage was most likely written in order to _____. A．compare bicycles used for different purposes B．describe the problems early bicycle makers experienced C．persuade readers to use bicycles for transportation D．tell readers about the early history of the bicycle 2.Macmillan covered the wheels of his bicycle with iron to _____ A．add weight to the bicycle B．make the bicycle easier to ride C．allow the wheels to last longer D．let the bicycle be more comfortable 3.Which of the following bicycle types was invented by James Starley?
4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．Two hundred years ago，bicycles did not exist. B．The first bicycle could be ridden at a very quick pace. C．The Michaux brothers called their bicycle a “bone shaker”. D．Macmillan’s machine had wheels with rubber tires. 5.The information about bicycles in this passage is arranged according to _____. A．importance B．time C．place D．Interest

Since the end of World War I (WWI) in 1918，Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI， a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide. As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution. They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget. That’s why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you” ; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request. Yet this message is fading away, year after year. Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school. Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates. It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid. It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice. Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults. Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering. 1.Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day? A． It’s only held in Canada. B．Its ceremony lasts 11 hours. C．It falls on November 11th each year. D．It’s to celebrate the country’s independence. 2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today? A．Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead. B．Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers. C．Wearing a red poppy to show respect. D．Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform. 3.What can we learn from the passage? A．War history is too violent for school children. B．The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army. C．Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies. D．More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories. 4.The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____ A．the death of so many soldiers in wars B．the fact that there were so many wars after WWI C．people’s ungratefulness for the freedom they have D．removing children from Remembrance Day events 5.The writer believes that_____ A．the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be remembered B．Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiers C．schools - no longer think Remembrance Day is necessary D．people should be forced to learn about the realities of war

In Britain all children have to go to school between the ages of 5 and 16. In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to between the ages of 14 and 16, depending on the state they live in. Subject In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum, which was introduced in 1988 and sets out in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16, when they are tested. The National Curriculum does not apply to Scotland, where each school decides what subjects it will teach. In the US the subjects taught are decided by national and local governments. Whereas British schools usually have prayers and religious instruction, American schools are not allowed to include prayers or to teach particular religious beliefs. Examinations At 16 students in England and Wales take General certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in all subjects and may involve a final examination, an assessment, or both of these things. At 18 some students take A-level examinations, usually in no more than three subjects. It is necessary to have A levels in order to go to a university . In Scotland students take the Scottish Certificate of Education (SCE) examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. In Scotland the university system is different from that in England and Wales. Courses usually last four years rather than three and students have to study a larger number of subjects as part of their degree. In the US school examinations are not as important as they are in Britain. Students in High Schools do have exams at the end of their last two years, but these final exams are considered along with the work that the students have done during the school years. Social Events and Ceremonies In American high schools there is a formal ceremony for graduation . Students wear a special cap and gown and receive a diploma from the head of the school. Students often buy a class ring to ear, and a yearbook, containing pictures of their friends and teachers. There are also special social events at American schools. Sports events are popular, and cheer leaders lead the school in supporting the school team and singing the school song. At the end of their junior year, at age 17 or 18, students held in the evening. The girls wear long evening dresses and the boys wear TUXEDOS. In Britain, there are no formal dances or social occasions associated with school life. Some schools have Speech Day at the end of the school year when prizes are given to the best students and speeches are made by the head teacher and sometimes an invited guest.
