Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book. Either the author has aimed too 3 so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers. The best children's books are 5 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 8 books like this, 9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 10 to solve. This may be why many of books regarded as 11 of children's literature were in fact written for 12 “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 13 of this. Children, left for themselves, often 14 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents. Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 18 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 19 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 20 books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story. 1.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street comer and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a cyclist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses-in this case our eyes-tell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.According to the last paragraph, a psychologist is like（）. A．a writer B．a student C．a scientist D．a policeman

Earthquake can strike without warning. But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these safety tips. If you're inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. 16 Drop to the ground. Get under an object that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a comer formed by two walls with your arms over your hand. If you're in bed when the quake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow. 17 Don't take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse beneath you. 18 If you are trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of clothing. Use your cell phone to call for help if possible. Don't shout. 19 Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you. Be prepared for aftershocks. 20 However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a safe position after the first shock, you should move quickly but carefully to a safer place. 1. 16 A: Don't move about or kick up dust. B: If you're outside, go to an open space. C: Shouting can cause you to breathe in dust. D: Don't park your car under a tree or any tall object. E: Take a good hold of your cell phone in the building. F: They can happen in the first hours after the earthquake. G: Most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. 2. 17 A: Don't move about or kick up dust. B: If you're outside, go to an open space. C: Shouting can cause you to breathe in dust. D: Don't park your car under a tree or any tall object. E: Take a good hold of your cell phone in the building. F: They can happen in the first hours after the earthquake. G: Most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. 3. 18 A: Don't move about or kick up dust. B: If you're outside, go to an open space. C: Shouting can cause you to breathe in dust. D: Don't park your car under a tree or any tall object. E: Take a good hold of your cell phone in the building. F: They can happen in the first hours after the earthquake.

【题文】 Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.”【小题1】At first the author looked upon life as a process of getting. He formed this view of life because .A．other people were selfishB．he thought it exciting to get from othersC．of his early educationD．of his character【小题2】The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because .A．he knew what such a note would mean to the post office.B．he had discovered giving-away made life all the more excitingC．he believed he would get something back by doing soD．the post man delivered an important letter in time【小题3】When the author needed a post-office box, .A．many had applied for post-office box before himB．he asked to put his name on a waiting listC．he tried to see the postmasterD．he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation【小题4】The postmaster came around because .A．he overheard this conversationB．he had received a lot of complaints for lack of post-office boxC．he was thankful for the letter the author had writtenD．he was proud of their good service
