26、Five steps to better handwriting
Some kids love handwriting, but others hate it when it’s time to put pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 【1】Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 【2】Hold it in place with your thumb(拇指), and your index and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are of the right size and proportion (比例). 【3】Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure (压力)
【4】That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try relaxing and don’t hold the pencil too hard.
【5】
Lots of games need you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pencil better.
A. Play games
B. Ask for advice
C. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.
D. So“a”should be half the height of a capital“A”.
E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F. The best way to hold a pencil is to rest it next to the base of your thumb.
G. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
27、 Bats (Firefly Books, 2011)by Phil Richardson helps to show readers the truth about bats. While bats get a bad name for their connection to mysterious vampires (吸血鬼)and their nightly habits, Richardson shines light onto the species and shows that bats are amazing and complex creatures for various reasons. The following is information about bat protection.
Bats are under threat in many areas of the world. Some have gone down to such a level that the remaining numbers may not be enough to keep the species. Threats to bat populations matter not just because bats are attractive creatures in their own right.Our increasing familiarity with the term biodiversity from television, newspapers, magazines and other media reflects the importance biologists place on this kind of protection.
The easiest way to appreciate what is included is to recall the idea of food chains and webs from biology lessons at school. It all starts with the producers,the plants that produce the food in their leaves by photosynthesis (光合作用). Animals such as caterpillars then join the chain and eat the leaves, other animals such as birds eat the caterpillars, and so on up the chain.If a species dies out, then there is a break in the chain, and predators (捕食者)that relied on that species could also die or grow weaker as there is less food available.
There is another important point,a single insect-eating bat may eat hundreds of insects a night. So bats help to keep a balance in the natural world.Besides, they are a great help to humans,as farmland, gardens and house wooden structures all suffer attacks from injurious insects and bats are useful in keeping down their numbers.
【1】What is the general impression people have of bats?
A.Bats are not related to mysterious vampires.
B.Bats are often active during the day.
C.Bats are not good creatures.
D.Bats are helpful to humans.
【2】What does the underlined word “caterpillars” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Animals that feed on birds. B.Animals that produce the food.
C.Animals that are under threat. D.Animals that feed on leaves.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.Bats only eat insects. B.Bats can help balance nature.
C.Bats are helpless to humans. D.Bats can reduce the number of people.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Bat protection needs attention. B.Bat population is increasing.
C.Bats are insect-eating animals. D.Bats are short of food.
28、 Have you ever thought about running lemonade stand (货摊) to make money? Sixth-grader Jamaria Crump has. She has been very successful at it, too. It took the 11-year-old one year to build her lemonade stand to earn money for those in need.
Her business, Lemon Topia, is a hit, which her teacher said was surprising. She makes pies, cakes and cookies besides lemonade.
Jamaria built LemonTopia herself with the help of Mom. “I’m a teacher and had no time to help her at first. So she had begged for a lemonade stand for a year or two before I let her do it.” said Jasmine Hall Jamaria’s mother.
Jamaria’s school announced a baking sale in 2016 that was a perfect chance to try out Jamaria’s plan for a lemonade stand. Jamaria made cookies and cakes. After the baking sale, she kept selling at school and community events Now she has her own business at a street market.
Of course, Jamaria pays for her own costs. She has to buy the materials and also pays her mother for rides and working for the stand. Hall says Jamaria does not like the cleaning up. “I make her wash all of her own dishes. That’s a constant battle.” Hall said.
The lemonade business can have its ups and downs. “I’m very proud of her for sticking with it.” said Hall. She wondered if Jamaria would get bored and stop. But that hasn’t happened.
Doran Brown, Hall’s friend, says Jamaria is a success in Baltimore. “She is adorable (讨人喜爱的). She is running her own business to help others.” he said.
In fact, Jamaria dreams of studying in Paris to be a dessert cook. For now, she bakes and sells her goods. She is turning LemonTopla into strong starting point for a sweet future to help others.

29、 Age plays a major part in people who are infected with cold, i. e, in people who suffer from cold infection. A study done by University of Michigan has shown information that seems to be true for the general population. Babies are the most cold infected group, generally more than six colds in their first year. Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three. After three, girls are easier to get infected with cold than boys, and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys' two. The general cold infections continue to get less into adults. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds every year. One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infection , because people in this age group are most likely to have young children.
The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well. With more and more income, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower. Families with the lowest income usually live in rooms more crowded than rooms owned by richer people, and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold virus to travel from person to person. Low income may also have an effect on our diet. Many scientists believe that a poorer diet usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection.
【1】Which of the age groups has the highest frequency of cold infection?
A.Teenage boys. B.Small babies. C.Adult women. D.Elderly people.
【2】What's the passage mainly about?
A.A study on cold infection. B.Tips to avoid cold infection.
C.Major reasons leading to cold infection. D.The possible dangers of cold infection.
【3】How does economy play an important role in cold infection?
A.Families with lower income suffer less from cold infection.
B.People who have lower income enjoy living in crowded rooms.
C.Rich families can have better nutrition and never get infected.
D.People with higher income have fewer chances of infection.
【4】What does the author suggest for fighting against cold infection?

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority(权威)rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
