7、Machines are ___ no use without the power to run them.A. ofB. atC. inD. by

Most people assume that the human brain is set on "automatic"—that means it learns all by itself.But this isn't always true.We need to train ourselves to be better learners—to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt.These kinds of learning behaviours are called "active learning".I suggest doing four things to take an active role in your learning.Listen to the outer voice There are two kinds of voices：the inner voice and the outer voice.Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions，while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read.Although your inner voice can be useful，it can also get in the way of learning.If you keep paying too much attention to it，you risk missing important information.Instead，active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker/ write is saying，not on what their brain is saying in the background.In this way，they are in a better position to make decisions.Ask questions Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning.When you get information from someone，from books or the Internet，ask two，three，even five question about the topic.The answers will lead you to further learning，and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic.In short：Do not stop being curious.Get to the truth Active learners do not accept everything they learn.They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea.Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely，there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth.So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today，think about why they believe this.Where does the idea come from？Do they have enough data to support their views？If you try to find out the source of an idea，no matter how crazy it seems，you will increase your chance of learning something.Focus on the message Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way.They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who the speaker/ writer is.It is true that we cannot help disliking some people —this is human nature，after all.But do not forget you can still learn from them.Active learners do not judge people based on firs impressions or personal feelings.Instead，they separate the message from the message.This goes the other way as well---do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.（1）Which of the following is TRUE about inner voice and outer voice？ ____ A.Your inner voice is useless，and always gets in the way of learning.B.Your inner voice is what you think.C.The outer voice usually is what your brain is saying.D.The outer voice expresses your personal opinions.（2）According to Paragraph 3 what do you know about asking questions？ ____ A.sking questions will lead you to further learning.B.Asking questions won't make you more motivated to learn.C.Asking questions facilitates active learning.D.Asking questions will stop you from being curious..（3）According to Paragraph 4，an active learner ____ .A.won't find out the source of an ideaB.is-willing to accept everything they learnC.believes that dinosaurs still exist todayD.always tries to find the truth at the core of every opinion（4）What do we learn about from Paragraph 5？ ____ A.We should try our best to like people we don't like.B.We often ignore what the author says.C.Active learners judge people based on personal feelings.D.The person we like may not always be right.（5）What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？ ____ A.To offer some tips on how to learn actively.B.To advise us to listen to the outer voice.C.To help us get to the truth.D.To share his learning experience.

In __ Chinese culture，the color red always represents happiness and good luck.A. historicB. traditionalC. remoteD. classic

My family recently traveled from our Maryland home to Disney World in Florida. Though we're no strangers to travel, a trip of this length was a new experience for us with three children. What helped us enjoy our trip so much? Our schedule, of course! So keeping a schedule when you travel can help make your trip a success. Don't sleep the day away. Let everyone sleep for a bit, but still make it a point to rise at a reasonable hour and get active to start the day. Not only will you see and do more on your trip, but it will make it easier to eat regularly, get the kids down at nap time (午觉), and then go to bed without a struggle in the evening. Eat regularly. Time is easy to go by while you're running through a theme park, or exploring (考察) a museum. Be prepared for meals because hungry kids are often quick to turn into a headache for you. Pack a snack and drink bag and make sure to stop regularly for a bite to eat while you're out. Keeping a regular meal schedule can help everyone keep up their energy and enjoy the day. Take a nap. Does your baby take a daily nap? Naps are very important for baby's development. They also help little ones to pick up their strength, or vacations can be exhausting (疲惫的) for little minds and bodies. Go to bed at a reasonable hour. Everyone can get tired out on vacation.

Section B-|||-Directions: In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten staiements anached to it. Each statement-|||-contains information give in one of the paragraphs. Idenslfy the paragraph from which the information is-|||-derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Annwer-|||-the questions by marking the corresponding on Answer Sheet 2.-|||-Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guldelines to Good Life-|||-A) Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged b threats and uncertainties from-|||-wurs,terrorism, cconomic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes,according-|||-to a new book The 10 Golden Rules:Anclent Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life. The-|||-book is co authored by Long Island University`s philo professor Michael Souplos and economics professor-|||-Panos Mourdoukoutas.-|||-B)The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless,says Soupios. The philosophy professor says as-|||-relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago."There is no expiration (失效)date on wisdom,"-|||-he says."There is no shelf life on intelligence. I t that things have become very gloomy these days,lots of-|||-misunderstanding,misleading cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophisrry(论辩).The nice-|||-thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole,, in a way-|||-that we tend not to see life today."-|||-Examine your life-|||-C) Soupios,along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas,devel 10 golden rules by turning to the men-|||-behind that philosopy-Ari Socrates,Epictetus and Pythagoras,among others.The first rule-examine-|||-your life-is the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Plato`s-|||-observation that the unexamined life is not worth living."The Greeks are always concemed sbout boxing-|||-themselves in,in terms of comvictions(倍念),"he says."So take a step back,switch off the automatic pilot and-|||-actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities,our values, and our relationships."-|||-Stop worrying about what you can not control-|||-D)As we begin to examine our life,Soupios says,we come to Rule No.2:Worry only about things that you can-|||-control."The individual w promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher.His name is Epictetus," h says."And-|||-what the Stoics say in general is simply this: There is a larger plan in life.You are not really going to be able to-|||-understand all of the dimensions of this plan.You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan."-|||-E)So,Soupios explains,it is not worth it to waste our physical, intellectua and spiritual energy worrying about-|||-things that are beyond our control."I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu,for-|||-example,"he says."I mean,there are some cautious steps I can take,but ultimately I can not guarantee myself-|||-that.So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasteful and-|||-irrational. You should you`re your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely-|||-control."-|||-Seek true pleasure-|||-F) To have a meaningful, life we need friends. But according to Aristotle-a student of Plato and teacher of-|||-Alexander the Great-most relationships don`t quali as true friendships.Just because I have a business-|||-relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship,it does not necessarily mean that this person-|||-is my friend." Soupios says."Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beauti and-|||-unchar acteristically poetic ima that Aristotle offers."-|||-G)In our pursuit of the good life,he says,it is important to seek out true pleasures-advice which was originally-|||-offered by Epicurus.But unlike the modem definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence (i)线) at an lu-|||-for the ancient Greeks,it meant finding a state of calm,peace and mental ease.-|||-H)"This was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans." Soup-|||-says."This is something that is very much well worth considering herein the modem era. I do not think that we-|||-spend nearly enough time trying to concentrate on achieving sort of calmness, a sort of contentment in a mental-|||-and spiritual way,which was identified by these people as the highest form of happiness and pleasure."-|||-Do good to others-|||-I) Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves,to avold excess and not to be a prosperous (发迹的)fool-|||-There are also rules dealing with interpersonal relationshi a responsible human being and do not do evil-|||-things to others.-|||-"This is Hesiod,of course,a younger contemporary poet,we believe,with Homer,"Soupios says."Hesiod-|||-offers an idea-which you very often find in some of the world`s great religions, the Judeo-Christian tradition-|||-and in Islarn and others-that in some sense, when you hurt another human being,you hurt yourself. That-|||-damaging other people in your community and in your life,trashing relationships, r in a kind of self-inflicted-|||-(自己招致的)spiritual wound."-|||-K)Instead,Soupios says,ancient wisdom urges us to do good. Golden Rule No. 10 for a good life is that kindness-|||-toward others tends to be rewarded.-|||-L)"This is Aesop,the fabulist(寓言家),the man of these charming little tales,often told in terms of animals and-|||-animal relationships,"he says."I think what Acsop was suggesting is that when you offer a good turn to another-|||-human being,one can hope that that good deed will come back and sort of pay a profit to you,the doer of the-|||-good deed. Even if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to your good deed,at the very least,the doer of-|||-the good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spirinully cnlightened-|||-M)Soupios says following the 10 Golden Rules based on ancient wisdom can guide us to the path of the good life-|||-where we stop living as onlookers and become engaged and happier human beings.And that,he notes, is a life-|||-worth living.-|||-36.According to an ancient Greek philosopher, it is imposs for us to understand every aspect of our life.-|||-37.Ancient philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.-|||-38.Not all your business partners are your soul mates.-|||-39.We can live a peaceful life despite the various challenges of the modern world.-|||-40.The doer of a good deed can feel spiritually rewarded even when they gain no concrete benefits.-|||-41.How to achieve mental calmness and contentment is well worth our consideration today.-|||-42.Michael Soupios suggests that we should stop and think carefully about our priorities in life-|||-43.Ancicmt philosophers stro that we do good.-|||-44.The wise teachings of ancient Greek thinkers are timeless,and are applicable to contemporary life.-|||-45.Do harm to others and you do harm to yourself.
