21、You are busy in your kitchen and your lovely kid is painting with her fingers on the kitchen table. Trying to be encouraging, you ask her, “What are you making with this mix of colors?” and she shrugs(耸肩). 【1】 She just loves the way it feels when she pours paint on paper, and even the soft sound a brush makes as it crosses the page.
Most preschoolers aren't self-conscious about what they're doing or focused on creating a finished product. That can be hard for parents to accept. 【2】 It allows kids to enjoy the process of creation and they will be better off in the long run if they're allowed just to be in the moment and express themselves.
Developing creativity won't just increase your child's chances of becoming the next Picasso. 【3】 As kids use a paintbrush, their line motor skills improve. By counting pieces and colors, they learn the basics of math. When children experiment with materials, they dive in science. Most important perhaps, when kids feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self-confidence.
【4】 Set up an art space where your kid can be free to experiment. Throw a drop cloth or a newspaper on top of your kitchen table or in the garage. If weather permits, let kids paint outside. Avoid giving directions. Don't tell your kids what to make or how to make it. Instead of saying, “Paint a rainbow,” encourage her to “experiment with mixing colors using different types of brushes and paper.” When a child finishes a piece, don't suggest additions or changes. 【5】
A．So just prepare for a mess.
B．Drawing when young is very important.
C．She actually doesn't know it.
D．But letting go can harvest big rewards.
E．So find a tutor for them.
F．You're also helping him develop mentally, socially, and emotionally.
G．Just show your appreciation of the work.
22、 HOW TO GET THERE
BA and Royal Jordanian airlines fly direct between London Heathrow and Jordan’s capital city Amman (from £435; rj. com). Flight time is five hours.
HOW TO GET AROUND
Jordan is a joyfully easy country to travel around, in part due to its small size. You could drive from top to bottom in little over five hours if you wanted to. The national bus company has services between the main towns, and limited options to Petra and the Dead Sea. For full flexibility, you're better off hiring a car—roads are in good condition, and other drivers tend to be less manic (not stand up to free use of the car horn) compared to other countries in the Middle East. The traffic in Amman makes it frustrating, and nerve-wracking, to navigate, so pick up and drop off your car at the airport, a little outside of the city. The usual suspects have offices there (week’s hire from £235; hertz. jo).
HOW LONG TO SPEND
Given the short travel times between major sites, you could feasibly whip around Jordan in little under a week, spending a night in each location. However, it’s important to factor in the weather: your pace will slow in high temperatures, and you’ll find many Jordanians sensibly spending the hottest part of the day indoors, indulging in a long lunch. You’ll also want to devote a proper amount of time to each location: two or three nights in each of Petra and Wadi Rum will allow you to get to a few less explored corners, while two nights in Amman and one each at the Dead Sea and hot springs is about right. If you add in a side trip for some diving in the Red Sea, two weeks is plenty.
WHAT TO BUDGET
Staying in budget guesthouses, eating only from markets and street stalls, and using public transport, you could survive in Jordan on around £40 per day. Factor in a midrange hotel, car hire, guided tours and meals in local restaurants, and the figure could rise to £100-plus a day. The national currency is the dinar（第纳尔）, and is available from ATMs at all the main sites.
WHEN TO GO
High season is September to October and March to May, when the weather is warm but bearable. Note that price hikes are common in this period, and hotels get booked far in advance. One of the most pleasant times to visit is winter, from November to February, though be aware the desert gets very cold at night during this period. If you can take the extreme temperatures of summer, it can be an excellent time to travel, with fewer tourists around.
HOW TO PLAN
See Lonely Planet’s Jordan and the Jordan tourist board’s official site, visitjordan.com, which has a wealth of information on general travel in the region and specific sites.
【1】Which of the following statements is True about travelling in Jordan according to the passage?
A.Drivers in Jordan use car horn more freely than those in other countries.
B.It's better to drive your own car since the traffic in Amman is frustrating.
C.Weather should be taken into consideration when you arrange holiday.
D.Diving in Red Sea is a must if you plan to travel in Jordan for one week.
【2】Which factor is NOT related with the budget according to the passage?
A.To choose what kind hotels.
B.To eat what kind of food.
C.Whether to use cash or not.
D.When to travel in Jordan.
【3】The word “hikes” in paragraph 5 can be best replaced by the word “ ”.
A.declines B.rises C.varies D.collapses

24、Boy’s schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art dance and music. Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(阳刚) , the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to agree with a stereotype, a US study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to agree with the “boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.
The report, presented at a conference of the International Boys’Schools Coalition in London attended by the heads of private and state schools, goes against_______that boys do better when taught alongside girls. Tony little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their females peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boy’s learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia. Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused”approaches such as themes and characters that interest them. Because boys generally have more acute(sharp)vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on”lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的)and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes” James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to agree with a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships, “In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” The study reported.
【1】In the eyes of the author, a single-sex school would__________.
A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real man”
B. help to develop masculine aggressiveness in boys
C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D. naturally stress in boys the traditional image of a man
【2】The phrase “received wisdom” (paragraph 3) is most likely to mean____________.
A. better education B. common belief
C. good behavior D. strong responsibility
【3】What does Tony Little think of the British education system?
A. It fails more boys than girls thoroughly
B. It makes boys more emotional than girls
C. It fails to give boys the attention they need
D. It focuses more on mixed school education
【4】Which is one of the advantages of single-sex schools according to Abigail James?
A. Teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B. Boys can focus on their lessons without being disturbed
C. Boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D. Teaching can be designed to promote boy’s team spirit
【5】According to Abigail James’s report, which of the following is characteristic of boys?
A. They enjoy being in charge and master
B. They love to be greatly encouraged
C. They are violent and sexist
D. They have sharper vision

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Billy was 15 years old then. He grew up in a very poor neighborhood. No one in his family had gone to college before. Actually, few people around him had received higher education. They all struggled to live a good life. Therefore, Billy knew nothing about colleges or scholarships and he never thought he would go to college one day. Although he was a smart boy, he didn’t study hard al school and often got into trouble with other teenagers in his neighborhood.
One day, while Billy was walking on the playground, a boy of his age started making fun of him. Then that boy pushed him hard and Billy fell onto the ground. Billy became so angry that he stood up and beat that boy. So a fight began.
It happened that Billy’s English teacher Mr. Smith was walking nearby. He immediately ran to the boys to stop the fight. Billy was a bit worried because he knew his teacher was very strict with students. He was afraid his teacher would punish him. However, to his astonishment, his teacher didn’t do that.
“Billy, let’s have a talk,” said his teacher.
Billy, not knowing what his teacher wanted to do, was very worried. But he nodded. So they went to a bench nearby and sat down. After they sat down, Mr. Smith began, “Billy, I know you’re a smart boy, but you’re wasting your life now. Why don’t you study hard to go to college so that you can change your life and have a bright future?”
Hearing that, Billy didn’t know what to say. He had never thought about it. Billy was in silence. Mr. Smith continued, “I know you may have never thought about going to college. But everything is possible. When I was at your age, I was a troublemaker just like you and never thought I’d be able to go to college, either. It was all because of the support and encouragement of Mr. Howard, my math teacher in high school.”
