In the winter vacation, I paid a visit a mountain village in a suburb of Handan. No sooner had I got off the bus when I was greatly surprising to see all the changes. It was far better than I had been expected. Now every family can drink cleanly running water. The villagers needn’t carry water himself any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color1 TV set, they can enjoy plays at home. It impressed me most was that the best building in a village was the school. I hope the mountain village will become better and better.

My dream is to become a school teacher in the future. In fact, I had the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood. In my opinion, without teachers, no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an important role in children growth. Not only do teachers pass on knowledge for children, but they also teach children how to behave themselves. Comparing with other jobs, teaching is hard and the pay is lower. And to me, what great fun it is to be with children! They make me to feel young forever because I’ll study harder and try my best to realize my dream.

三、 阅读理解
21. There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant’s confidante. When the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
Now, the merchant’s 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, “Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I’ll be alone. How lonely I’ll be!”
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”
“No way!” replied the 4th wife and she turned away without another word.
The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant’s heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, “I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”
“No!” replied the 3rd wife. “Life is so good over here! I’m going to remarry when you die!” The merchant’s heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, “I’ve always turned to you for help and you’ve always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?”
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!” replied the 2nd wife. “At the very most, I can only send you to your grave.” The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.
Then a voice called out: “I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go.” The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, “I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!”
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives.
The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it’ll leave us when we die.
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.
The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we’re alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it’s a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we’re on our deathbed to lament.
21. Which wife did the merchant love most?
A. The 1st wife.     B. The 2nd wife.    C. The 3rd wife.   D. The 4th wife.
22. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 stand for?
A. A confident person.          B. A female friend.
C. A business cooperator.        D.A person’s body.
23．What would serve as the best title for the passage?
A．The merchant’s four lovers       B. Value our soul
C．Four lovers in our life              D. The last is the best
参考答案：

22. Can Training Your Working Memory Make You Smarter？
We would all like to increase our cognitive（认知的） ability beyond the limits set by Mother Nature．So it's no wonder that brain﹣training programmes﹣which typically focus on training our working memory﹣are a multibillion﹣dollar industry．But can this kind of training really make us smarter？
Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle that can be made stronger with the right kind of practice．It consists of tasks or games carried out on computers or smart phones．Despite much research，there has so far been no agreement about its effectiveness．Some think that cognitive training increases a broad range of cognitive abilities，while others less optimistic．
Yet we do know that some cognitive skills，such as working memory and intelligence，tend to go together and are predictors of real﹣life skills such as work performance．Thus，training one cognitive skill might lead to an improvement in many other cognitive and non﹣cognitive skills．That is exactly the underlying hypothesis（假设） on which working﹣memory training is based．
To test this hypothesis，we examined all the studies about working﹣memory training we could find with normally developing children：26 experiments and 1，601 total participants．Children represent an ideal test group：during childhood，skills are still at the beginning of their development．Thus，cognitive training is more likely to succeed with children than adults．
The results were very clear．Working﹣memory training did not show any effect on children's fluid intelligence，a person's ability to solve new problems and adapt to new situations．It didn't influence their academic achievement or other cognitive abilities，either．The only reliable effect was that children got better at what they trained to do．No more，no less．So performing working﹣memory tasks does seem to make you better at doing them．Nonetheless，the fact that participants got better at such tasks does not necessarily mean that their working﹣memory ability increased．They may just have learnt how to perform that particular type of task．
The results do indicate that the use of working﹣memory training programs as an educational tool is fruitless．More generally，together with other research，the results contribute to disproving cognitive training companies'promises of a better brain．
The results have even more important implications theoretically．They question the hypothesis that training general cognitive mechanisms can affect other cognitive or real﹣life skills．Beyond working﹣memory training，other recent studies have shown the limitations of different types of cognitive training．For example，music training fails at improving cognitive skills outside music﹣including academic skills．
However，these negative results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non﹣cognitive skills．We just have to be aware of the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training．But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it﹣the most efficient way to develop a skill is，after all，to train that skill．
67．According to the passage，cognitive training is likely to　   　．
A．uncover the secrets of human minds
B．make one's brain stronger through practice
C．bring much profit to the training companies
D．earn a good reputation for the training company
68．To find out the effect of working memory training，the author　   　．
A．made some scientific studies
B．compared different test groups
C．reviewed the previous research
D．got some children involved in the experiment
69．Children taking part in the experiments were able to　   　．
A．adapt to new situations quickly
B．gain greater academic achievements
C．do better in the field that they are trained in
D．succeed when they deal with real life problems
70．What is the author's attitude toward the cognitive training？　   　
A．Uninterested．B．Objective．C．Disapproving．D．Optimistic．
参考答案：
67-70.CCCB
短文主要讲了通过培训你的工作记忆能否使你变聪明这个问题，通过一些研究报告展示了这样的训练会让你训练的那一方面有所提高，但不会使你变聪明．
67．C，推理判断题，由短文最后一句的总结性句子But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it﹣the most efficient way to develop a skill is，after all，to train that skill．可以推测出认知训练有可能会给培训公司带来很大的利益，
