22、Prom tradition comes to UK
Proms (正式舞会) are big news in Britain these days. A school prom is a formal party to celebrate an important date at school such as the end of secondary school or after completing school exams. A secondary school prom often involves a big party, big dresses and huge cars.
Prom parties
Proms are held in June or July, around the end of exam time. The idea is to lave fin with your school friends and celebrate your time and achievements at school. Some schools hold a luxury party in a five-star hotel. Others have a more basic dinner in the school hall. The school can organize the prom or they can pay a professional organization to arrange it. A prom organizer provides everything for the special event including the party location, balloons, food, music, cars and clothes.
Clothes and beauty
Young people like to dress up for their prom. On prom night girls swap their school uniform for an elegant evening dress and high heels. Boys usually dress up in a suit with a tie and smart shoes. The right hairstyle and makeup are important too. Some beauty salons offer a special “prom deal” which includes hair, makeup, eyelashes, nails and a spray tan (喷雾染肤色). A tan is fashionable with both boys and girls.
Money
The school prom is big business; the average prom costs parents over￡200 per teenager. Not all families have money to spend on their teenager's prom, of course. Some teenagers work part-tine to cover their prom expenses. Popular jobs include babysitting,shop work and working as a waiter or waitress.
An American tradition
Not long ago most British schools didn't have school proms. They probably had a simple school disco at the end of term. Now, more than 85 percent of schools in Britain have a prom. However, the modern British school prom is not popular with some parents of teenagers. Many adults see the prom as an import from the USA. They say that American TV programs and films such as High School Musial have a big influence on their kids.
【1】What do we know about proms?
A．Proms are casual parties for close friends.
B．Proms are held to celebrate the beginning of a new term.
C．Proms can be held in different places.
D．Proms are usually organized by students' parents.
【2】How do students usually dress up for proms?
A．They wear school uniforms.
B．They wear strange clothes with heavy makeup.
C．They dress up in casual clothes with light makeup.
D．They dress up formally with the right hairstyle.
【3】Why do some teenagers work par-time before the proms?
A．To experience the working environment.
B．To pay for prom expenses.
C．To help cover their families' expenses.
D．To support businesses that organized their proms.
【4】Why do some parents of British teenagers dislike modern British school proms according to the last paragraph?
A．Proms are too expensive for them.
B．Proms have replaced the school disco.
C．Proms were taken from American culture.
D．Proms influence their kids' learning.
23、 If you are always successful, you may not learn much. 【1】 Scientists have found that being wrong 15 percent of the time is the secret to learning new things. Although nobody likes to fail, scientists have long suspected that people learnt better when they were challenged to learn something just outside of their existing knowledge.
Make a task too hard and participants will give up without learning any new skills, but if it is too easy, they will also not pick up anything useful. 【2】 To find out where the “sweet spot” lies, researchers at the University of Arizona conducted a series of machine-learning experiments in which they taught computers simple tasks, such as picking whether a number was odd (奇数的) or even (偶数的). 【3】
The scientists have named it “The 85 percent rule” and say it could help teachers adapt their classes to the right level. If the teachers give really easy examples, you get 100 percent right all the time. 【4】 If they give really hard examples, you still won’t learn anything new. Only when you are at this “sweet spot” can you get the most information from each particular example.
【5】 You shouldn’t be disappointed if you aren’t 100% right all the time. If you are taking classes that are too easy, then you aren’t probably getting as much out of a class as someone who’s struggling but managing to keep up.
A．Accept challenges bravely.
B．Then there’s nothing left to learn.
C．The more difficult the task, the better.
D．In this way, you can maximize your learning.
E．But that “sweet spot” has always been unknown.
F．Some studies have shown that failure is not a bad thing.
G．They found that when the error rate was 15 percent, the computers learnt fastest.
24、 Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the poet, publisher, painter, social activist and bookstore owner, has been San Francisco’ honored poet. He turns 100 this month, and the city is making preparations to celebrate him in style. Readings and performances and an open house will take place at City Lights, the sacred bookstore he co-founded in 1953.
On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Felinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.
He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Poetry as Insurgent Art; A Coney Island of Mind. He has translated the works of a number of poets, including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry, he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels. Including Little Boy: A Novel, Love in the Days of Rage and Her.
In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin opened the City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, California. It became a nerve center for the Beats and other writers. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other writers from that era were Easterners who dropped into San Francisco for a spell. In 2001 it was made an official historic landmark. Now City Lights is almost certainly the best bookstore in the United States. It’s filled with serious world literature of all kinds.
If City Lights is a San Francisco institution, Ferlinghetti himself is as much of one. He has loomed over the city’s literary life. As a poet, he’s never been a critical favorite. But his flexible and plain-spoken and often powerful work — he has published more than 50 volumes — has found a wide audience. His collection “A Coney Island of the Mind” has sold more than 1 million copies, making it one of the best-selling American poetry books ever published.
【1】What can we learn about Ferlinghetti from Paragraph 2?
A.He had a happy childhood. B.He received normal education.
C.He had a gift for writing novels. D.He had written lots of poetry.
【2】Which of the following best describes Ferlinghetti according to Paragraph 3?
A.Flexible. B.Optimistic. C.Outspoken. D.Productive
【3】What does a nerve center in the 4th paragraph probably mean？
A.a nervous center B.a new spot C.a control center D.a popular spot
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To speak highly of a great poet. B.To introduce some English poetry.
C.To promote values of City Lights. D.To celebrate the birthday of Ferlinghetti.
