1、Working MothersCarefully conducted researches that have followed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems, compared with children whose mothers stayed at home. My personal 1view is that mothers should be allowed to work if they wish. Whether we like it or not

2、, there are a 2 number of mothers who just have to work. There are those who have invested such a big part of their lives in establishing a career that they cannot 3afford to see it lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure economic 4necessity . Many mothers are not 5cut out to be full-tim

3、e parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant, they feel trapped and isolated. There are a number of options when it 6comes to choosing childcare. These range from child minders and nannies through to Granny or the kind lady 7across the street. 8 In reality , however, many parents d

4、ont have any choice; they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared! No 9matter how good the childcare may be, some children are going to protest wildly if they are left. This is a 10perfectly normal stage of child development. Babies separate well in the first six months, but soon after tha

5、t they start to get a crush on Mum and close family 11members. Make sure that in the first week you allow 12plenty of time to help your child settle in. All children are different. Some are independent, while others are more 13attached to their mothers. Remember that if you want to 14 do the best fo

6、r your children, its not the quantity of time you spend with them, its the 15quality that matters. 第一篇 A Life with Birds有鸟陪伴的生活For nearly 17 years David Cope has worked as one of the Tower of Londons yeoman warders, better known to tourists as beefeaters. David, 64, lives in a three-bedroomed flat r

7、ight at the top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. _3 From our bedroom we have a marvellous view of Tower Bridge and the Thames, says David.The Tower of London is famous _4 for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately fascinate

8、d by the birds and when he was _5 offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no _6 hesitation in accepting it. The birds have now become my life and Im always _7 aware of the fact that I am _8 maintaining a tradition. The legend says that if the ravens leave the Tower, England will fall

9、 to enemies, and its my job to _9 make sure this doesnt happen!David_10 devotes _about four hours a day to the care of the ravens. He has grown to love them and the _11 fact _ that he lives right next to them is ideal. I can _12 keep a close eye on them all the time, and not just when Im working. _1

10、3 At first , Davids wife Mo was not _14 keen on the idea of life in the Tower, but she too will be sad to leave when he retires next year. When we look out of our windows, we see history _15 all around us, and we are taking it in and storing it up for our future memories.第二篇 A Lucky Break幸运的骨折Actor

11、Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones, and it always seems to happen when hes 1 doing sport. In the film Play It to the Bone he 2 plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. 3 During the making of the film Harrelson 4 kept complaining that the fight 5 scenes werent very co

12、nvincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasnt 6 keen on the idea at first, but he was 7eventually persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his 8opponent was tak

13、ing it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas 9 so hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing silly macho games. She was right, confesses Banderas, and I was a

14、fool to 10take a risk like that in the middle of a movie.He was 11 reminded of the time he broke his leg during a football match in his native Malaga. He had always 12 dreamed of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably over.

15、Thats when I decided to take 13up acting; I saw it as 14 another way of performing, and achieving recognition. What happened to me on that football 15 pitch was, you might say, my first lucky break.第三篇 Global Warming全球变暖2013已考过Few people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on

16、the worlds climate. Many scientists (1) made put the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase (2)in the worlds temperatures and are convinced that, more than (3)ever before, the Earth is at (4)risk from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. (5) According to them, global warming is making e

17、xtreme weather events, (6) such as hurricanes and droughts, even more (7) severe and causing sea levels all around the world to (8) rise.待添加的隐藏文字内容3Environmental groups are putting (9) pressure on governments to take action to reduce the (10)amount of carbon dioxide which is given (11)offby factorie

18、s and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in (12)favour of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power (13)stations .Some scientists, (14) however believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon di

19、oxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait (15)several hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay.第四篇 A Success Story一个成功的故事At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers who have(1) Their fortune t

20、hrough the Internet. (2)What makes Bens story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was (3)told by teachers at his junior school that he would never be able to read or write (4) properly . I wanted to prove them (5)wrong , says Ben, creator and director of Waysearch, a net search engin

21、e which can be used to find goods in online shopping malls.When he was eight, his local authorities (6) provided him with a PC to help with school work. Although he was (7) unable to read the manuals, he had a natural ability with the computer, and (8) encouraged by his father, he soon began (9) cha

22、rging people $l0 an hour for his knowledge and skills. At the age of 15 he (10)set up his own computer consultancy, Quad Computer, which he ran from his bedroom, and two years later he left school to (11) devote all his time to business.By this time the company had grown and I needed to take on a (1

23、2)couple of employees to help me, says Ben. That enabled me to start (13) doing business with bigger companies.” It was. his ability to consistently (14) overcome difficult challenges that led him to win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year that he formed Waysearch, and he has r

24、ecently signed a deal (15) worth $25 million with a 第五篇 Traffic in Our Cities-城市的交通2012已经考过The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk (1) of accidents. Clearly, somethin

25、g must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to (2) persuade their habits and leave their cars at home.One possible (3) approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by (4) increasing charges for parking and (5) bringing in tougher fines for anyone who (6) breaks

26、 the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, (7) known as “road pricing”, is already being introduced in a (8) number of cities, using a special electronic card (9)fixed to the windscreen of the car.Another way of (10

27、) dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the (11) outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre1. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus (12) final for the final stage of their journey.Of course, the most important (13) thing

28、 is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to (14) give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be2 reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares (15) kept at an acceptable level.Teaching and LearningMany teachers believe that the responsibilities for lear

29、ning lie with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect student to be familiar with the 1 information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The 2ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of 3lear

30、ning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 4with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is5 responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is 6assigned, the professor expects the student to ta

31、ke it actively and to complete it with 7minimum guidance. It is the students responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 8how a university library works; they expect students 9particularly graduate students to exhaust the reference

32、 10 sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but 11prefer that their students should not be 12too dependent on them. In the United States professors have many other duties 13besides teaching, such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time that a professor can

33、spend with a student outside of class is 14limited . If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either 15approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.The Difference between Man and ComputerWhat makes people different from computer programs? What is the missi

34、ng element that our theories dont yet 1account for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about 2what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, dont. In fact, computers dont 3even have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are tryin

35、g to find out when they read. If a computer 4program is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a “purpose”. Of course, people have several goals that do not make5 sense to attribute to computers1. One might read a restaurant guide 6in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment g

36、oals, or to 7 find a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches. However, these physiological and social goals give 8rise to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find 9information

37、about the name of a restaurant which 10serves the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to 11acquire information or knowledge, what we are calling 12learning goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer 13might“want

38、” to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so14 in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not 15arise out of hunger in the case of the computer, it might well arise out of the “goal” to learn more about restaurants. .Look on The Bright SideDo you eve

39、r wish you were more optimistic, someone who always 1expected to be successful? Having someone around who always 2fears the worst isnt really a lot of 3 fun. We all know someone who sees a single cloud on a sunny day and says, “It looks 4like rain. ” But if you catch yourself thinking such things, i

40、ts important to do something 5about it. You can change your view of life, 6according to psychologists. It only takes a little effort, and youll find life more rewarding as a 7result . Optimism, they say, is partly about self-respect and confidence, but its also a more positive way of looking at life

41、 and all it has to 8offer. Optimists are more 9likely to start new projects and are generally more prepared to take risks. Upbringing is obviously very important in forming your 10attitude to the world. Some people are brought up to 11depend too much on others and grow up forever blaming other peopl

42、e when anything 12goes wrong. Most optimists, on the 13other hand, have been brought up not to 14regard failure as the end of the world they just 15get on with their lives. The First BicycleThe history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791, Count de Sivrac 1delighted onlookers in a p

43、ark in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celerifer. It was basically an 2enlarged version of a childrens toy which had been in 3use for many years. Sivracs “celerifer” had a wooden frame, made in the 4shape of a horse, which was mounted on a wheel at either end.

44、To ride it, you sat on a small seat, just like a modem bicycle, and pushed 5hard against the 6ground with your legs there were no pedals. It was impossible to steer a celerifer and it had no brakes, but despite these problems the invention very much 7appealed to the fashionable young men of Paris. S

45、oon they were 8holding races up and down the streets. Minor 9injuries were common as riders attempted a final burst of 10speed. Controlling the machine was difficult, as the only way to change 11direction was to pull up the front of the “celerifer” and 12turn it round while the front wheel was 13spinning in the air. “Celerifers” were not popular for long, however, as the 14combination of no springs, no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable. Even so, the wooden celerifer was the 15origin of the modem bicycle.
