“I’m here to give you the letter, Sir.” Anna Pavlova said.
“Thank you,” replied the headmaster.
She walked over to his desk. Looking up, he found her quite nervous, “Oh, little Pavlova , you aren’t a new students , are you ? ” he asked .
Anna held her head high, which still made her look far younger than her fifteen years. “I’ve been at this ballet school for almost five years,” she said proudly. The headmaster liked the way she talked.
A pair of red ballet shoes set all alone on the table caught her eye.
“That is Taglioni’s shoes, I’m very sorry that there’s nobody who can wear it today. Her feet were small and perfect,” he said.
Toglioni ! The greatest dancer of all the time! The name sent an unusual feeling through her.
He looked at her shining eyes, and then he asked, “How would you like to try it on?”

Most of us use the telephone several times a day to talk with friends or make social arrangements. These calls are usually quite easy and require little planning.

Before calling

If you have to ask a caller to hold on, keep going back and assuring him/ her that you will be as quick as possible.
Avoid interruptions. Call at a time when you are unlikely to be distracted.
During the call
Be courteous, polite. Make time for suitable greetings like “How are you today, Jim?” and “Did you enjoy your holiday?”

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? when I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical (符合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved (参加) in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to “think”. It doesn’t make sense. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
28. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _______.
A. to share the children’s curiosity
B. to listen to the children’s questions
C. to let them see the world around
D. to give the children enough time to think
29. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults _______.
A. wait for one or two seconds after a question
B. wait at least for three seconds after a question
C. permit them to look up the textbook
D. permit them to discuss for nearly two hours
30. In which paragraph does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?
A. The fourth paragraph　　　　　　 B. The fifth paragraph
C. The sixth paragraph　　　　　　　    　 　 D. The last paragraph
31. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children’s curiosity except that adults should _______.
A. not tell the children to think
B. be patient enough when their children answer questions
C. give their children real-life impressions
D. tell their children stories instead of reciting facts

D
If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki（赫尔辛基）during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams（有轨电车）, you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront（滨水区）of the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.
32．Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its ________.
A．old buildings, boats and the sea
B．parks, seabirds and 19th century buildings
C．trams ,seabirds and 19th century buildings
