She thinks that the good-looking actors with cool clothes and the beautiful sight in the dramas are the selling points for South Korean TV dramas.

Reading is the key to success in all school subjects. With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. Dont forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Dont comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your childs love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so theres a chance youll create a new bedtime reading habit.Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is available. Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure theyre ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.5 To make children become interested in reading, parents should _. A. choose books based on their interestB. tell them what they can learn from these books C. choose the easiest books for them to readD. always read books together with them 6 Which of the following is NOT what parents are advised to do? A. Pick the right computer games. B. Reduce childrens sleeping time. C. Have reading material available. D. Read to children when possible. 7What attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Neutral (中立的). 8The main idea of the passage is to _. A. help children succeed in school subjectsB. give parents advice on how to educate childrenC. remind parents of the importance of reading D. teach parents how to encourage children to readWhen you get in your car, you reach for it. When youre at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it. Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, its the third most addictive thing in modem life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships. The costs are becoming more and more evident, and I dont mean just the monthly bill. Dr.Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on -one personal contact, and an escape from reality. Sounds extreme, but we ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell - phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e - mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we dont have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says. If the cell phone has truly had these effects, its because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only l million cell phones in use. Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.9From the first two paragraphs, we can know Acell phones have become as addictive as cigarettesBcell phone addiction is good for building personal relationshipsCpeople are longing to have their own cell phonesDcell phones are the same as cigarettes10Cell phone addiction has caused the following effects EXCEPT .Aa barrier to personal contact Bfewer friendsCan escape from reality Da serious illness11The underlined word curb in Paragraph 2 means “ ”Aignore Bcontrol Cdevelop Drescue12The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that .Awomen Use cell phones more often than menBtalking on the phone while driving is dangerousCcell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherDcell phones make one - on - one personal contact easy13Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A Cell phones Are the New CigarettesBCell phones Are Harmful to the SocietyCThe New Report about the Cell phoneDThe Disadvantages of the Cell phoneImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens every day to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like “shoplifters”. Even though Id never steal, store employees looked at me like Im some kind of hardened criminal mastermind.For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Grab “n” Go on Tuesday. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story:“ NO MORE THAN TWO STUDENTS AT A TIME.” After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are lifting too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? Not only were we considered to be shoplifters, but brilliant, greedy shoplifters.The Grab “n” Go isnt an isolated case. Earlier this year, a department store worker told me to leave my backpack at the front of the store. When I asked who was going to keep an eye on my stuff, she said, “Dont worry. It isnt going anywhere.” In other words, I had to risk losing my stuff so that the store wouldnt have to risk losing theirs. “Dont worry,” I replied, “I dont need to shop here.”The most annoying thing, though, is the way employees watch my friends and me. Its almost strange and frightening. Once, at a drug store, I went down an aisle and found a guy standing on a box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, which were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that?You know, this kind of prejudice can go both ways. I work at the CD Crib, and every day I see adults commit a terrible crime. They put on a set of headphones and sort of dance to the music. Talk about bad! Tomorrow, Im going to put a sign in the window: “ NO MORE THAN TWO ADULTS LISTNENING TO MUSIC AT A TIME.”14“ Shoplifters” ( Paragraph 1) refers to _.A. the neighbor B. thievesC. employees D. store owners15The manager of the Grab “n” Go thought that _.A. people might be angry about the lining upB. the shop might be over-crowdedC. students might steal thingsD. kids should be accompanied by their parents16What is the tone of the writer?A. Angry B. SadC. Pleased D. Excited17By saying “this kind of prejudice can go both ways”, the writer intends to _.A. put up a notice to prevent adults from committing a crime.B. encourage adults to listen to CDs before they buy them.C. stop adults from talking bad things when in CD stores.D. accuse adults in the same way as they did towards the boys18 How does the writer develop his argument?A. By example B. By classificationC. By comparison and contrast D. By cause and effect Development of a widely accepted chronology for the arrival of humans has been equally difficult, and it was only with the development of optically stimulated luminescence dating that a human presence in Australia was confirmed at 53,000 to 60,000 years ago. Older dates for a human presence in Australia have now been shown to be erroneous .The importance of Australia as a separate natural laboratory in which to test extinction theories lies in the fact that humans arrived there much earlier than they arrived in the other continental areas (the Americas and northern Eurasia) that experienced substantial megafaunal extinction. What Miller et al. have shown is that the extinction of Genyornis occurred simultaneously across southeastern Australia (indeed probably right across the continent) about 50,000 years ago. This is very close to the presently accepted time of arrival of humans in Australia. It was also a period of modest climate change, well before the dramatic climatic fluctuations of the terminal Pleistocene. The data of Miller et al., therefore, support those who see human hunting rather than climate as causing the extinction of the megafauna.Genyornis was a ponderous bird, around 80 to 100 kg in weight, about twice as heavy as the living emu and cassowary. It was an inhabitant of Australias inland plains and some coastal regions, but its legs were relatively short and thick, suggestion that it was a slower runner than the emu. Proponents of humancaused extinction suggest that it is just such characteristics that made the megafauna vulnerable to human hunting.A new school of thought has recently established itself in the extinction debate. It advocates the idea that a combination of human impact and climate change was responsible for the extinction of the worlds megafauna. The new Genyornis data also weaken that argument, for the following reason. Fifty thousand years ago, Australia was experiencing mild cooling; 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, the Americas were experiencing rapid warming. These disparate climatic conditions, all coincident with megafaunal extinction, suggest that whatever was happening with climate, it was bad for the big animals. Under these conditions, the hybrid model becomes indistinguishable from the humancaused extinction model for the influence of climate becomes extremely weak, and only the arrival of humans is important in predicting extinction.19 The last word “megafauna” in Paragraph 2 most probably meansA birds. B plants.C big animals. D small animals.20 Genyornis was vulnerable to human hunting because it wasA a delicacy. B very weak.C very small in size. D clumsy.21 How many models have been put forward for the extinction of Genyoris?A One. B Two.C Three. D Four.22 That Australia experienced mild cooling and the Americas rapid warming suggests thatA the climatic conditions were unfit for Genyornis to live.B Genyornis were highly adaptable to different climatic conditions.C The two climatic conditions were both bad for Genyornis.D The climatic conditions had nothing to do with the extinction of Genyoris.23 The selection is mainly aboutA the debate over the time of the human presence in Australia.B the relationship between the human presence and magafaunal extinction.C the relationship between human activities and climatic changes.D the debate over factors causing megafaunal extinction.Dear Parents,It is almost a week since school began. I hope that you and your child are settled and comfortable in the arrangement of the new school year. I would like to take this opportunity to give you news about the art project that the eighth grade students and I will be working on during this unit. My name is Molly Atkinson and I am a new middle school teacher here at MSAE in Kauai. I feel that it is important for you to know that my approach to classroom management is inspired by Maharishis Principle of Ideal Teaching. I believe that it is the most positive method for guiding our students education. I also believe that by keeping the lessons interesting, the classroom will be a creative environment for the students to explore the artistic process. My experience with the class this week makes me believe that the students and I will have a fruitful and caring experience in our time together. The students first project is a three-part work that begins with the creation of a collage (拼贴画). A pencil drawing of the collage will follow. The third part of t
