4、here stood Mrs. Abshere!

12、holiday season, we often see an increase in the amount of rubbish we produce in our homes. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, follow the simple instructions in this article to help cut the amount of rubbish produced in your home. For gift-giving: Homemade gifts, such as cards, often produce l

13、ess rubbish and can be a treasure to receive. This is a great idea for children to try.When wrapping (包装) gifts: Use gift bags instead of wrapping paper. Gift bags are reusable and not as likely to go out with the rubbish. If you receive gifts in gift bags, be sure to store them away for future use.

14、When entertaining: Avoid the use of plastic forks, spoons and knives as much as possible. Bring out your favorite dishes for special holidays, and buy a holiday tablecloth to avoid using disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic ones.After the holidays: Store your reusable decorations until next year. Sort

15、 out and store reusable gift bags and gift wrap.By making a few simple changes in our holiday habits, we can cut the amount of rubbish we produce between Thanksgiving and New Years Day.

18、. Steve Jobs had a passion (激情) for education. He may be gone, but we still have a chance to learn from his courage and innovation (革新). Making MistakesI think that the main reason why we cant find proper ways to improve the education system that no longer serves us well is simply fear. Fear of fail

19、ure. Fear of getting it wrong. Teachers fear that innovation could endanger their jobs. Steve had the attitude we need in education right now. “Sometimes when you create something, you make mistakes. It is best to admit (承认) them and get on with improving your other innovations.” Thats the kind of s

20、pirit that we need to have. Motivation (动机) MattersWeve concentrated (专注于) so much on results that we dont always reward good motivations. But these things are very important. In our schools, weve cared so much about test results that weve lost creativity. We dont reward students for their hard work

21、, and we punish failure. As a result, we lost imagination and found no motivation to try something that has a chance of ending in failure. What Defines (定义) Failure?The company that Steve Jobs started in 1985 after being forced out of Apple shows us how technology could influence educational innovat

22、ion. In 1985 he started NeXT. The company was providing computers for educational purposes. NeXT wasnt really financially (经济上) successful. But it may have been ahead of its time. Today, we see what the technology brings into the classroom. Changing Our ModelThe company sold around 50,000 computers.

23、 But that would be missing the point. It was a NeXTcube workstation that encouraged the first web server. It helped in the development of early Internet technology. Truly, Steve Jobs has taught us that results are not the most important things in life.1. The article tells us making mistakes .A. is a

24、lways something very badB. will help us become better peopleC. is a part of making something newD. will keep us from reaching our dreams2. We may lose our creativity and imagination if we .A. make a lot of mistakesB. fail to have a right model C. cant be financially successfulD. concentrate too much

25、 on results3. Steve Jobs might agree that .A. a good motivation can lead to a successful result B. we shouldnt be afraid of failure and it can lead to success C. making money is the only way to judge successD. having a passion is the most important thing for success 4. According to the article, whic

26、h word can best describe Steve Jobs spirit?A. Passion.B. Motivation.C. Innovation.D. Creativity.EThe secret in re-remembering is to allow the full power of your memory to flow freely without “trying” to remember any one specific (特定的) thing.I recently sat down to a relaxed and enjoyable dinner with

27、some friends. At the beginning of the meal, a friend told us that his car had just been broken into and his briefcase (公文包) had been stolen. He was frustrated (懊恼的) because his diary and a number of other items (物品) important to him were in the briefcase. He said he could remember only four items th

28、at were in his stolen briefcase, that he knew there were many more, that he had to give a full report to the police within two hours, and that the more he tried to remember the more blocked he became. Several of us at the table who were familiar with Memory Principles (规则) then took him through the

29、following exercise: instead of continuing to allow him to think of what he could not remember, we asked him when he had last had his briefcase open. It turned out that it was at the office just before he left work, at which point he suddenly remembered that he had put two important magazine articles

30、 in the briefcase. We then asked him when he had last had the briefcase open before leaving home for work. It turned out to have been the night before, and he remembered having put in two more articles as well as a tape recorder, in preparation for the following morning. Finally we asked him to desc

31、ribe the inner (内部的) design of his briefcase, and as he went through a detailed description, he remembered pens, pencils, letters and a number of other items that he had completely “forgotten” before. Within 20 minutes, he remembered 18 additional items.The secret is to “forget about” whatever you a

32、re trying to remember and “relive” all experiences that connect in any way with the item you are trying to remember. This method works at once almost in all cases, and takes the form of a created Mind Map around the “missing” center. This memory method, like the others, improves your memory as well

33、as your creativity, and in addition gives you confidence when you realize that, no matter what you have forgotten, there is still a chance to solve any memory mystery (谜团)!1. Which of the following shows how the man remembered the items according to the passage?full reportat the officebriefcaseinner

What does the underlined word “relive” mean in the passage?A. go through againB. get out of C. get used to againD. pay attentio

35、n to3. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Forgetting You can never really forget B. Drawing The better way to remember thingsC. Re-remembering Remember what you have forgottenD. Replacing Forgetting something instead of remembering FThink youre ready to keep a pet at home? Having a dog is

36、 a wonderful experience, one that brings lots of fun and keeps from being loneliness. But it also needs lots of attention and responsibility (责任).Before you decide to get a dog, you should prepare yourself and your home. Dogs, especially young ones, need more time and responsibility. While housetrai

37、ning your dog, plan to take it outside every day. 1 Dont let a young dog run freely around your house, or youll lose shoes or toys. Dogs also need to exercise twice a day. 2 Were talking about a lot of active exercise.A fenced (篱笆) yard with a doghouse is a good idea, especially for large and active

38、 dogs. But dogs should never be left outside alone for long periods of time. They need to be kept company. 377When you take your dog for a walk or run, always keep it on a chain and off other people. You are responsible for accidents and bites caused by your dog. You should always pick up after your

39、 dog, no matter where it “does its business”.Respect your dog. 4 Theres truth to the saying, “Dogs are mans best friends!”A. Housetraining can take up to six months.B. And it will respect and protect you.C. Make sure your dog has regular checkups.D. They should stay inside with the family whenever p

40、ossible.E. That doesnt mean a short walk around the block.GOne morning it took me an hour to watch a small ant carry a huge feather across my back porch (走廊). Several times it met objects on its path and after a short time it would go around them.At one point the ant had to deal with a crack (裂缝) ab

41、out 10mm wide. After a short time of thought, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked across it and picked it up on the other side then continued on its way.I was attracted by the cleverness of this ant, one of Gods smallest creatures (生物). It was an example of the wonder of creation. Here w

42、as an insect, tiny, yet given a brain (大脑) to think, explore, discover and beat difficulties. But this ant, just like people, also shares human weaknesses.After some time the ant finally reached its home a flower bed at the end of the porch and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground h

43、ome. And it was here that the ant finally faced the problem. How could that large feather possibly fit down the small hole?Of course it couldnt. So the ant, after all this trouble and using much creativity, beating difficulties all along the way, just left the feather behind and went home.The ant ha

44、d not thought the problem through before it began its brave journey and in the end the feather was nothing more than a heavy weight.Isnt our life like that?We worry about how much money we have, we worry about work, about where we live, about all kinds of things. These worries are heavy things, and

45、they make an already difficult life even more difficult. Worrying will do nothing good for us. When we get to where we want to be in life, we will understand that worrying can only bring us down.1. Did the writer show a great interest in the ant at first? 2. How did the ant cross the crack?3. Did th

46、e ant take the feather into the hole or give it up?4. What do you think of the ant?5. What does the writer want to tell us? 教材知识点复习Module 1单项选择1.
