I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?” I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.
One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.
After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added.
25. Why was the university criticized on the Internet?
A．The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple.
B．Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous.
C．Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam.
D．The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat.
26. What’s most of the Kasetsart University students’ attitude towards the cheating hat?
A. skeptical B. negative C. objective D. supportive
27. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.
A. It’s useless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam.
B. Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam.
C. Wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective in some degree.
D. Some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat.

In the hit film The bucket List, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman meet in hospital in California after they have been diagnosed with cancer. Between them they cook up a “bucket list” ------ a to-do list of all they want to do before they kick the bucket. The movie makes you wonder what would be on your bucket list. So let’s pack up some and see what it would cost to go out and have a little fun.
THE PYRAMIDS, GIZA, EGYPT

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧)．It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain，love，and some other experiences：We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass－top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty，but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser（化妆台） lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am frightened or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(有形财产)on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof（evidence）I lived, I grew, and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family，my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed(责怪) by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her call my name，which reminds me I'm home.
32．Why does the author call her parents' bed her “safe zone”(Paragraph 3)?
A．It is her favorite place to play.
B. Her parents always play together with her there.
C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.
D. Her needs can be satisfied there.
33．Sometimes when she feels lost，the author will ________．
A. open the window at night
B. lie down in bed to have a dream
C. try to bring back a sense of home
D. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom
34. Why do you think the author leave the window open on purpose at night?
A. Because she likes being blamed.
B. Because she know her mom will blame her, which reminds her she is home.
C. Because she likes the fresh air.
D. Because she can have a good sleep with the window open.
35．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A. To express how much she is attached to her home.
B. To declare how much she loves her first house.
C. To describe the state of her family. D. To look back on her childhood.

If you’d like to become a dancer, spend some time choosing a dance style. Each type of dance is made up of techniques which need to be practiced and mastered. 36
Once you have decided to become a dancer, it is important to carefully choose a dance class. 37
It is easy to form bad habits in the beginning, and extremely hard to correct them. So choosing a good teacher will help you a lot from the beginning.
38 Special dance shoes will be required for most dance styles, including ballet slippers for ballet and tap shoes for tap. Your dance teacher will probably have a preference for clothing, such as a black leotard(紧身衣) with pink tights for a ballet dancer, or black dance pants(短裤) for a jazz dancer.
If you are enrolled in your very first dance class, tour the dance studio before your first day. 39
The floors of dance studios should be soft, as dancing on hard floors may cause injuries. The class structures will vary for the different dance styles.
Get connected with another dancer, check out the dance forum to exchange steps and moves, ask for advice, and make new friends!
Also, sign up for our free weekly e-mail newsletter to learn more about the dancing world and to stay informed of what’s new about dance. 40
