What do these terms mean and how can these terms help you choose a preschool? Oftentimes, the key difference between settings is connected to the preschools “educational philosophy”. While educational philosophies are numerous and their definitions are not set in stone, we have provided you with definitions for some of the most popular philosophies. The Montessori Method Focuses on maintaining the individuality of each child in the learning process. This method believes each child learns at their own pace and educational progress should not be rendered based on comparing students to one another. The Reggio Emilia Approach This approach focuses on providing opportunities for problem solving through creative thinking and exploration. The Waldorf Approach This approach places an emphasis on imagination in learning, providing students with opportunities to explore their world through the senses, participation and analytical thought. The Bank Street Approach This approach places an emphasis on learning through multiple perspectives, both in the classroom setting and in the natural world. The High/ Scope Approach This approach focuses on letting children be in charge of their own learning. Children are taught to make a plan for what they would like to do each day and participate in a review session to discuss the success of their plan and brainstorm ideas for the next day. Outside of the formal educational philosophy, knowing the difference between other common early childhood terms will help you make informed decisions regarding your childs education.21. If a pre-school stresses each childs learning progress, it may employ _. A. The Reggio Emilia Approach B. The Montessori Method C. The Bank Street Approach D. The Waldorf Approach 22. According to the passage, which of the following is True ? A. The Scope Approach is to let children learn all by themselves. B. The definitions of educational philosophy remain the same. C. To some extent, educational philosophies determine the differences between preschools. D. The most confusing part about choosing pre-school is to choose educational philosophy.B High-sugar diets raise risks for heart disease, obesity and diabetes, but we do love our sweets, so health experts have tried to suggest alternatives, and honey has been foremost among them. Honey is actually sweeter than sugar is , which means, in theory at least, that you could enhance flavor equally with a smaller quantity of honey. But honey actually has a higher calorie count. It may have more minerals, which looks better on a label but, in reality, these are such trace amounts that they dont offer any real advantages. Honeys reputation as a medicine is not wholly unfounded. Some honey does indeed have antibacterial properties. One byproduct of enzymes in honey is hydrogen peroxide, a powerful germ killer. Plus, honeys texture and consistency are good for keeping wounds clean, and bad for bugs that might want to infect them. Honey is moist and its gooey consistency mean it can easily spread over and stay over wounds while keeping the tissue from becoming dry and fragile. The sticky substance means bacteria can not accumulate and multiply easily. It is particularly well-known for fighting bacteria like staph, salmonella, E. Coliand certain bacteria that can infect the gut and cause ulcers. However, scientists can only say this for sure about Makuna and Malaysian Tualang honey. We dont know yet whether local home grown honey has the same potency-or safety. A hot cup of tea with some honey stirred in certainly sounds like it would make you feel better. But its difficult to say for sure that it will. When you have a cold, contact with warm water (from tea) may help to bust up phlegm(痰）that blocks your airways. But some suspect the real secret to the qualities of a cuppa is in the honey. There are studies that suggest that honey does work as well or better than cough suppressant（抑制性的）drugs like Robitussin. Most of these, however, were considered by the academic world to be widely misinterpreted by the media. One of the findings that seemed to have given the honey trend some additional legs came from a study that said there was “no difference”, statistically speaking, between honey and one particular cough suppressant.23. What can we learn from the passage? A. Honey has more minerals than sugar. B. Honey can be used to treat wounds. C. The sweetness in honey can fight bacteria. D. All kinds of honey can act as medicines. 24. What is the authors attitude when it comes to the functions of honey? A. Objective B. Critical C. Supportive D. Skeptical 25. What might be talked about next? A. Honey will be widely used in other fields. B. Honey will not be recommended in medical treatment any more. C. Other studies showed honey worked better than some cough medicines. D. Other studies showed neither honey nor some cough medicines functioned well.C Early in the Iliad, Homers epic poem（史诗）about the legendary, Trojan War, there occurs a famous anecdote known as the catalogue of ships, which names all the Greek leaders and contingents(小分队) who came to fight at Troy. Before unfolding this impressive muster roll (花名册)，Homer makes a special, public appeal to the Muses to ensure he gets the facts right: Tell me now, Muses, who have your homes on Olympus- for you are goddesses, and ever-present, and know all things, and we hear only rumour: nor do we know anything These lines reflect a central claim of epic poetrythat through the inspiration of the Muses, daughters of Memory, it can preserve the knowledge of people and the events of the past a formidable power in the non-literate, oral cultures in which the Iliad evolved. The Iliad was composed around 750-700 BC, but its origins lie at least some five centuries earlier, deep in the Mycenaean Bronze Age-the world the Iliad poetically evokes. The Iliad is keenly aware of its role as the keeper of memory, and credibility is central to its storytelling. The epic is a work of fiction, and relates the events of a few weeks in the tenth and final year of the Trojan War fought between Greeks and Trojans over beautiful Helen, the Greek queen who deserted her husband to elope with a Trojan prince. Its cast of characters includes not only warriors and their captives and families, but the immortal Olympian gods, who perform many supernatural acts in the course of their eager participation in the action around Troy. The Iliad has the reputation for being an exclusively(专门地) maleepic, weak on female characters, but to choose only one exampleHomers delicate characterization of Helen as a woman driven by reluctant remorseful(悔恨的) passion is as hauntingly（萦绕心头地）credible as any Anna Karenina. Longinus, a scholar in the 1st Century AD wrote that in recording as he does the wounding of the gods, their quarrels, vengeance, tears, imprisonment and all their passions Homer has done his best to make the men in the Iliad gods and gods men. The scene between Achilles and Priam displays this inversion and crystallises what the Iliad poets had learned in the course of the epics Journey. That the gods we worship might not answer, and on occasion humanity must rise to fill their place. That glory is closely associated with painful loss. That the victor shares the humanity of the most vulnerable of the vanquished（战败者）; that there is no such thing as pure victory in war.26. The Iliad about the legendary Trojan War, might date back to _. A. the third century BC B. the seventh century BC C. the eighth century BC D. the thirteenth century BC 27. According to the passage, _. A. being reliable is essential to the storytelling of the Iliad B. Trojan War between Greeks and Trojans lasted over a decade C. Trojan War ended owning to the Olympian gods absence D. beautiful Helen is a woman worth respecting in the Iliad 28. Why does the Iliad have the reputation for being an exclusively male epic? A. Because it focuses only on men and war. B. Because too few females were well depicted. C. Because its cast of characters includes only males. D. Because Helen was described as a passionate woman. 29. Which of the following statements doesnt agree with the authors idea? A. Pure victory in war does not exist at all. B. Glory is naturally accompanied with saddening loss. C. The victor gains everything without any emotional loss. D. Both the victor and the vanquished share the same humanity.D Dad and I loved baseball and hated sleep. One midsummer dawn when I was nine, we drove to the local park with our baseballs, gloves, and Yankees caps. “If you thought night baseball was a thrill, just wait,” Dad told me. “Morning air carries the ball like youve never seen.” He was right. Our fastballs charged faster and landed more lightly. The echoes of our catches popped as the sun rose over the dew-sprinkled fields. The park was all ours for about two hours. Then a young mother pushed her stroller toward us. When she neared, Dad politely leaned over the stroller, waved, and gave the baby his best smile. The mother stared at him for a second, and then rushed away. Dad covered his mouth with his hand and walked to the car. “Lets go, bud,” he said. “Im not feeling well.” A month earlier, Bells palsy (贝尔氏神经麻痹) had struck Dad, paralyzing the right side of his face. It left him slurring words and with a droopy eyelid. He could hardly drink from a cup without spilling onto his shirt. And his smile, which once eased the pain of playground cuts and burst forth at the mention of Mick Jagger, Woody Allen, or his very own Yankees, was gone. As I slumped in the car, I began suspecting that our sunrise park visit wasnt about watching daylight lift around us. This was his effort to avoid stares. It was a solemn drive home. After that day, Dad spent more time indoors. He left the shopping, driving, and Little League games to Mom. A freelance editor, he turned our dining room into his office and buried himself in manuscripts. He no longer wanted to play catch. At physical therapy, Dad obeyed the doctor: “Now smile as wide as you can. Now lift your right cheek with your hand. Now try to whistle.” Only the sound of blowing air came out. My earliest memories were of Dad whistling to Frank Sinatra or Bobby McFerrin. He always whistled. He had taught me to whistle too. Of the roughly 40,000 Americans suffering Bells palsy every year, most recover in several weeks. Other cases take a few months to heal. But after nine weeks of therapy, the doctor confessed she couldnt help Dad. “Ive never seen anything like this,” she told him after his final session. Then she handed him the bill. Dad coped through humor. He occasionally grabbed erasable markers and drew an even-sided wide smile across his face. Other times, he practiced his Elvis impersonation, joking that his curled lips allowed him to perfect his performance of “Hound Dog”. By the time I entered fourth grade that September, Dad could blink his right eye and speak clearly again. But his smile still hadnt returned. So I made a secret vow: I would abstain from smiles of any kind. Nothing about fourth grade made this easy. Classmates were both old enough to laugh about pop culture and young enough to appreciate fart jokes. Kids called me Frowny the Dwarf. (I was three foot ten.) Teachers accompanied me into hallways, asking what was wrong. Breaking the promise I had made myself was tempting, but I couldnt let Dad not smile alone. When I asked my PE coach, “Whats so great about smiling?” he made me do push-ups while the rest of the class played Wiffle ball. Then he called Dad. I never learned what they discussed. But when I got off the school bus that afternoon, I saw Dad waiting for me, holding our gloves and ball. For the first time in months, we got in the family car and went to the park for a catch. “Its been too long,” he said. Roughly a half-dozen fathers and sons lined the field with gloved arms in the air. Dad couldnt smile, but he beamed, and so did I. Sundown came quickly. The fields white lights glowed, and everyone else left. But
