       Around the world, Chinese parents are famous for being very generous about educating children. Not 21 about the money, parents often send their children to the 22 schools at home or even abroad to England, the USA or Australia. They also want their children to take part in extra-course 23 where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more
       24 an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend a(n) 25 amount of money on education. Even 26 couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
       27 , what most parents 28 to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
       Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize 29 , is that today’s children 30 self-respect and self-confidence.
       The problem is that parents are only 31 their children about how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be 32 , happy and clever.
       Parents can achieve this by teaching 33 skills like cooking, sewing, and doing other housework.
       34 a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands 35 and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult 36 . A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job 37 . His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
       Some old machines such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him 38 and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to 39 them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, 40 rather to think, and to use his mind. And that really counts.

       A
       At the age of 5, most children in the USA start to go to school. Public education is free and most children go to schools near their homes. School in these early years is fun. The children learn to read and write. But they also play games and go on trips. There is no reason at such an early age for him to hit the books.
       The situation changes as children become older. The subjects become more difficult. Students must learn about world history, algebra (代数), and the life sciences. Tests become more common. Pressure is growing to hit the books, study hard, and advance. However, most serious students only really begin hitting the books for long hours when they reach high school.
       High school students who hope to continue their education at a college or university must take a special national test called the S-A-T. The test has two parts. The first part tests the student's ability with numbers and mathematical skills. The second part tests the student's ability in the English language.
       The S-A-T test is very important. A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a top American college. For this reason, many students hit the books for months to prepare for the S-A-T.
       41.The underlined phrase “hitting the books” in the second paragraph probably means ________.
       1. working hard at a certain subject B. reading books with great effort
          C. reading books in a hurry D. studying a subject carefully
          42. The students in high school ________.
          A. have to take the S-A-T
          B. are free and happy
          C. have to hit the books if they want to go on to college
          D. don’t hit the books until they pass the S-A-T
          43. American children don't need________ if they want to study in public schools.
          1. to pay for the educationB. to work hard at their lessons
             C. to hit the booksD. to take many tests
             44. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
             A. In America the students have to pass a certain test to continue their education.
       2. The students must spend much time preparing for the S-A-T.
          C. Those who fail in the S-A-T cannot go to a top college.
          D. Young children needn’t work hard at their lessons because education is free.
          B
          According to most people, after a long period of studying or working, we need to have a rest to refresh ourselves. However, that may not be the case. According to a recent report, you don’t need the break as much as you may think that makes you feel less tired.
          Scientists have long assumed that willpower (意志力) is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and come back to a task when you're feeling better. They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.
          But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is all in your head. They found that people’s beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower as something that’s limited, you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task,” said Prof. Veronika Job. “But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.”
          The researchers designed four experiments to test students’ beliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found that leading up to final exam week, students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation (诱惑).
          Mr. Job said. “The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”
          The findings could help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior.
          45. The underlined word “restore” in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.
          A. to make something return to its former state or condition
          B. to put things in a certain place
          C. to give back to someone something that was lost or taken from them
    4. to repair an old building, piece of furniture, or painting and so on

46. Which of the following best helps the students to prepare better for their exams?

1. Push themselves even if they want to take a break.
2. Remind themselves willpower is not limited.
3. Don’t eat fast food while studying.
4. Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.

47. What’s the best title for the passage?

1. Willpower doesn’t last long.
2. How to build strong willpower.
3. The great influence of willpower.
4. A new theory about willpower.
   C
   Music could be heard through the walls at Paddock Lane as fourth graders tried out some new dance moves Wednesday.
   Through drumming and dancing, Charles Ahovissi has made it his goal to teach students about African culture this week at Paddock Lane Elementary School (PLES).
   “This is very important,” Ahovissi said. “These kids need this, not just to learn about the culture and history, but to be able to focus. Drumming and dancing help kids focus, and challenge them mentally and physically.”
   He said he also tries to change misinterpretations about African culture, and help them correctly understand positive aspects . The main group of students Ahovissi is working with is the fourth grade. All grades will meet with Ahovissi, but he will spend time every day working with the fourth graders on drums and dancing until a performance Friday at 2: 30 p.m.. Fourth grader Linnea Edeal said she has enjoyed Ahovissi’s teaching, even if her hands hurt from hitting the drums. “I like it because it is fun and you get to learn some African culture,” she said.
   Ahovissi has worked with students counting beats on drums and has choreographed（编舞）a dance for the fourth graders. He said what he enjoys most about working with children is watching them as they begin to learn in a different way.
   “I see some kids here are fighting with themselves,” he said. “They are trying to put what I am giving them through their brains. At the end of the day they get it, but the first time they are challenged.”
   The professional performer originally came to the US 15 years ago from Benin, West Africa, and has been traveling for the Nebraska Arts Council teaching children about African culture. He brings to each school a classroom set of drums and costumes（演出服）.
   The school was able to fund Ahovissi’s visit through a grant（补助金）, said a second grade teacher Kristin Hoffman and the Paddock Lane PTO. “It is important for the students to experience working with an artist,” Hoffman said. “Each year there is something different that I try to do.”
   48. What does Ahovissi think of the music lesson?
   A. It can make African culture colorful.
   B. It can help kids improve their concentration.
   C. It can enrich African history and culture.
   D. It can help kids effectively free of stress.
   49. What does the underlined word “misinterpretations” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
   A. Misunderstandings.
   B. Advantages.
   C. Arrangements.
   D. Misfortune.
   50. According to Ahovissi the students _____.
   A. are only curious about African culture
   B. have great gift for dancing and drumming
   C. are working hard to learn how to dance
   D. change African music in a special way
   51. It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that_____.
   A. Ahovissi has been working in PLES for 15 years
   B. Ahovissi has visited many schools with his drums
   C. Ahovissi will put an end to his job in America
   D. Ahovissi help Kristin Hoffman run a school
   D

写作参考范文：

A hobby can be anything that a person enjoys doing in his or her spare time. For instance, when we swim, read or play basketball, we are engaged in a hobby which gives us relaxation and enjoyment.

For me, reading and swimming are good ways to relax .When the school day ends, I will absorb myself in a classic novel to experience the different feelings and emotions with the characters. Reading can enrich my mind and teach me how to live a wonderful and meaningful life. At weekends, when I am exhausted both physically and mentally, I will go to swim with my friends. Swimming is a kind of sports that can help to refresh myself and prepare for the coming weekdays.

In a word, having a hobby can make me more of an active and energetic person than one who is addicted to the Internet or TV series.
