24、Are you often in mind-wandering, enjoying the state of having nothing to do, or just standing and staring? Did you dream to get good grades and devote yourself to the tasks for a few days, however, your dream fell to zero as a TV play attracted you some day?
Do we need to have a dream? The founder of Wal -Mart, Sam Walton, says high expectation is the key to everything. The important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to achieve it, J. W. Goethe, the famous German poet and dramatist says. Successful people suggest that those who believe in the beauty of their dreams tend to have more self-motivation (自我激励)to keep on trying and enjoying the beauty of life.
Thomas Edison dreamed to light the world by the power of electricity. He tried over 2,000 different materials before he was able to create a market light bulb. It’s hard for many of us to imagine spending so much time and energy in exploring a possibility, which is most likely to come to a dead end but for Edison, who sticked to his dream, it was just an enjoyable process. As Edison says, The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Helena, a 17-year-old girl, dreamed to build the magnificent sculpture (雕塑) in the world. She devoted herself to observing faces around her and making sculptures. She was woken up by her dream every morning rather than her alarm clock. She said she became passionate (有热情的) out of her dream, which kept her going through any difficulties and found pleasure in it.
You can benefit a lot from your dream, but do you know the behavior that is necessary to fulfill your dream? You have a dream and you truthfully want good grades. However, you can’t help playing on the smart phone and let go your homework. Or you rush through it so that you can get back to the smart phone. This is the case when the present-desire to play on your smart phone beats the will to reach the future goal, which is called immediate gratification. If you always behave like this, you may lose the chance to meet with your dream.
Your dream can inspire you. It can give you motivation to work hard. It helps you to focus on a path so that you are moving forward. Meanwhile, you need to set a long-term goal and work for it. The key to dream is concentrating on small wins, which gradually lead to genuine confidence. You will enjoy the whole process of rea lizing your dream as well as involving yourself into the pa ssion of the coming life.

Picky, Picky
Scientists have no idea exactly why birds choose certain objects to build their nests. But scientists know that the main reason birds build nests is to keep their babies safe, warm and healthy.
Baby birds grow faster and are healthier when they are warm. They also learn to fly and leave the nests sooner than birds without warm homes.
What A Yarn (纱)Is
Yarn is big on an oriole’s shopping list during nest building. Scientists are still trying to work out why so many birds choose white yarn over other colors for nest building.
Scientists think that the white objects remind birds of cotton fluff (绒毛) they find in the wild.
Do It Naturally
Even though birds can help us recycle some of our junk by using it to build nests, they also need to use lots of natural things. Long grass, dried sticks, spider’s silk and mud are some of the natural ingredients that are good for nests, too.
You can make a collection box of things to leave for birds so they can help themselves. Hang a small plastic box with holes on a tree branch. Fill the box freely with nest building goodies. Hang the box on a tree and watch birds climb on board to pick through the junk to find their treasures.
Warning: Don’t let the birds turn into a tasty treat. Keep your bird station away from places where cats hang out.
For The Birds!
Stop! Don’t throw all that garbage out! Give some to the birds. Look and see how your old junk can help beautify and warm a bird’s new home.
【1】The baby birds with warm homes are able to ___________.
A.learn to fly earlier B.grow slower
C.build better nests D.leave the nests safer
【2】What can people make for birds to build nests?

【3】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To tell us how birds build nests.
B.To show the importance of nests to birds.
C.To tell humans what they can do to help birds.
D.To show the bad relationship between birds and cats.
26、When I was in college, I remember hearing about a book titled “Looking Out for Number One”. I never read the book, but the title has always stuck with me. I think it was because the title turned me off. I hadn’t been taught to be so selfish that I should be focused on only me . I thought I needed to be helping others and, along the way, I would also be helping myself. Now, I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one.
Over 30 years after seeing the book about looking out for number one I’m realizing number one, me, is the person I should be concerned about first. Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question, “Who is the most important person in the world?” Most people answer, the customer. He then asks, if there were only two people left in the world, the customer and you, who would you want to survive ? Now the answer is me.
It makes me sense that if we can’t help ourselves first, we will never be prepared to help others. We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves. That will put us in a position to help others in the future . But many of us are slow to understand this.
It has been said that happiness will bring success, but success doesn’t always bring happiness. We all want to be happy and successful. For some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe. Others will seek high levels of success thinking that will bring happiness. I’m sure we can think of a person who is very successful, according to the world’s standards (标准), but they don’t appear to be happy at all. This is because they have been so busy working for somebody else’s goals that they haven’t considered their own needs.
【1】Who does the writer think is the most important person in the world now?
A. Others B. Himself
C. The customer D. Jeffrey Gitomer
【2】The underlined words“ turned me off” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”.
A. made me excited B. made me bored
C. made me surprised D. made me pleased
【3】From the third paragraph we can learn ________.
A. we should help others instead of ourselves
B. we need help others make the best decisions
C. helping others can help control our lives
D. actually few of us understand this idea earlier
【4】 Why do some successful people not feel happy at all?
A. Because they don’t believe success always brings happiness.
B. Because their basic needs are not completely met.
C .Because they seek for too high levels of success.
D. Because they haven’t been working for their own goals.
【5】 The best title for the passage is “______________”.
A. Considering Our Own Needs First
B. The Most Important in the World
C. Helping Others First
D. Happiness and Success
27、 Studies show that language learning in babies is improved when parents speak more than a few simple words and use a wider vocabulary. Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could increase language development.
One such speaking style is known as “parentese”. Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life. Generally, “parentese” requires adults to speak in a higher voice and at a slower speed. The language is made easier to understand, while sentences are short and often repeated.
Can parents be taught good ways to improve their “parentese” skills? Patricia Kuhl, a professor of speech and hearing sciences, carried out a study on it. She says the purpose of the study was to find out whether a parent can be “trained” to create their own speaking style to improve language learning in children.
Naja Ferjan Ramirez helped lead the study. “Most parents know that the amount (数量) of language their child hears is important,” Ferjan Ramirez said. “What we shared with them through training is that how they talk to their baby may matter even more. ”
For the study, parents were given a small recording device (设备), which they put inside a piece of their baby’s clothing. All spoken communication from parents and the child was recorded. The recordings were made at three different periods of the child’s life: when the child was six, ten and fourteen months old. The parents were divided into two groups: a control group and an intervention (干预) group. Those in the intervention group received training after their six and ten month recordings.
The study found that between the ages of six and fourteen months, trained parents increased the amount of speech directed to the child and their use of “parentese” by l5 percent. Parents in the control group showed less growth in those areas, about 7 percent.
【1】What can parents do to improve their baby’s language learning?
A.Communicate with their baby with a few simple words.
B.Communicate with their baby with a wider vocabulary.
C.Communicate with their baby using longer sentences.
D.Communicate with their baby in a gentle voice.
【2】What can we learn about “parentese” from the text?
A.It means that adults talk with their babies in a lower voice.
B.It means that the language parents use becomes more difficult.
C.It means that adults talk with their babies more quickly.
D.It means that the sentences parents use are short.
【3】According to Ferjan Ramirez, what do the researchers want parents to know about through training?
A.The importance of the amount of language their child hears.
B.The importance of the type of language their child understands.
C.The importance of the way parents talk to their children.
D.The importance of high and low voices when parents talk to children.
【4】What can be concluded (推断) from the study mentioned above?
A.Trained parents are more likely to improve their children’s language learning.
B.Six to fourteen months is the best time to improve children’s language learning.
C.Parents in the control group used more “parentese” than in the intervention group.
D.Trained parents needed to use “parentese” for at least fourteen months.
