However, they always try to run away. One day as I was walking them along the river, Cady broke away from me. I called for her to return, but she didn’t. I got unhappy and didn’t run after her. ‎ That afternoon I picked my daughter up from school and I told her that Cady might be missing. “If she has done something wrong, I will not be paying her fines this time,” I said. My daughter asked for the reason. I insisted that I would not keep a disobedient (不听话的) dog.‎ I took a glance over my daughter. It seemed that the thought of losing the dog was very painful to her. I think I have given Cady a good living environment. If she is silly enough to leave all that behind, then “bye-bye” is my attitude. ‎ In a warm and tender moment that brings tears to my eyes, my daughter said, “Dad, you don’t understand. Cady is not pretty and not even well trained. If she is missing, no one will adopt her. That means she will die.”‎ Then I remembered that the reason why I kept the stray (流浪的) dog in the first place was that we could not find a home for her and did not want her to be destroyed. My heart softened. ‎ As we pulled into the driveway, there stood Cady in the backyard with a lovely expression. My neighbor told me that she was clever enough to find her way back.

We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.”‎ Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The composition of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. “Boys interpret (理解)the world as objects moving through space,” he says.‎ The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black. It's no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, as girls do in class.‎ The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn't need to move as much as in boys’ class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.‎ Boys and girls also hear differently. “When someone speaks in a loud tone，girls interpret it as yelling,” says Chadwell. “They think you're mad and can shut down.” Girls are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls' teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys' teachers should sound more forceful, even excited.‎ A boy’s nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 6°F. Stress in boys，he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are more focused when they are seated in a warmer room around 75°F. Girls also respond to stress differently. When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts (内脏), leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.‎ These differences can be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds.“Single gender programs are about maximizing the learning.”‎ ‎8. What is David Chadwell's attitude towards separating primary boys and girls while learning? ‎ A. Pessimistic. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.‎ ‎9. Which of the following shows the proper organization of the passage?‎ ‎(①=Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 •••⑧=Paragraph 8)‎ ‎10. Which of the students is most likely to stay focused?‎ A. A boy sitting in a warm room. B. A girl facing a lot of pressure.‎ C. A girl standing in a cold room. D. A standing boy faced with stress.‎ ‎11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Different Ways Of Attracting Boys And Girls ‎ B. The Differences Between Boys And Girls C. How Boys And Girls Learn Differently ‎ D. How To Teach More Effectively ‎ D Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning factor for children’s math achievement, according to a new research from a university. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together. ‎ Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw ‎ gains in math achievement by the end of the school year. The app’s effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.‎ Previous research from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults’ attitudes about math for children’s math success. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their children’s math achievement. ‎ The new findings demonstrate that structured, positive interactions around math at home can cut the link between parents’ uneasiness about math and children’s low math achievement.‎ ‎“Many people experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem, with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,” said Beilock, professor in Psychology and author of Choke, a book about stress and performance. “These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home, which affects how competent their children are in math. Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort, high-impact way.” ‎ ‎ Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents. Families were given an iPad installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app, with which parents and their children read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes and problem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead. Children’s math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math. ‎ The more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higher children’s achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, children who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group by almost three months in math achievement at year’s end.‎ ‎12. Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _____.‎ A. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions ‎ B. encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems ‎ C. teaches children how to count, recognize shapes and solve practical problems D. assesses children’s math achievement and parents’ nervousness with math ‎ ‎13. The previous study found that _____.‎ A. children’s math achievement is related to parents’ attitude about math ‎ B. help from math-anxious parents improves children’s math achievement C. interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationship D. children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math ‎14. We can infer from the passage that ______.‎ A. children using the app for three months can see gains in math achievement B. children whose parents are uneasy about math outperform other students C. it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference ‎ D. the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with children’s achievement ‎15. Which is the best title for the passage? ‎ A. High-anxiety parents influence children’s attitude about math.‎ B. Frequent use of app can develop problem solving ability.‎ C. Low-effort activities create good parent-child relationship.‎ D. High-quality math interactions improve math performance.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分1 0分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Most people would never even consider quitting without having another job lined up, and even fewer would recommend it. 16 And someone dear to me is also going to quit. It’s definitely not a solution for everyone and a lot of people are just able to figure out their path in life while employed fulltime. But it is ‎ an option and one that requires a lot of strength, determination, and preparation from a financial, emotional and mental standpoint. Three things you must have before becoming deliberately unemployed:‎ ‎※ A solid support system. Surround yourself with people who will encourage you and ‎ accept your decision even if they don’t agree with it 100 percent. It’s important that they’re honest with you but not in a trying–to–scare–you kind of way. 17 It’s also important to know who not to tell. Not everyone needs to know every detail about your life, especially if you know you’ll receive a lot of negative comments.‎ ‎※ Money. 18 You need enough money to support you in two to three months of life or a way to earn money on a part – time or contract basis.‎ ‎※ Confidence. You need to know – and I mean, really, really believe – that you’re going to make great achievements. Chance are that you will experience emotional ups and downs once you’re deliberately unemployed. 19 At the same time anxiety and fear will appear. Trust and constantly remind yourself that you did the right thing and that you will be okay and happier than ever. 20 ‎ A. But I quit, my best friend did too.‎ B. You’ re already scared enough.‎ C. The risk is worth the reward.‎ D. It’ s the stupidest decision you’ve ever made.‎ E. Doubt will gradually destroy your self-confidence.‎ F. To many people, it makes no sense.‎ G. This is when your emergency fund comes in handy.‎ ‎ 第二部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ I was born poor. Often we hadn’t enough to eat.

They also thought they could surf the Internet to search for some information and store some useful information. Besides, they could play games for rest if they feel tired after a long time's study.‎ ‎ However, sixty percent of us were against it. They said the radiation ‎ of cell-phones was harmful to health, and the ringing sound did somewhat affect the cell-phone holders and others. Also, cell-phones were luxurious things for middle school students and it was easy to lead them to compare with each other.‎ ‎ As far as I am concerned, I agree with the majority. It is not suitable for middle school students to have cell-phones. We can get in touch with others by other means and we can read more books to enrich ourselves.‎ ‎ Best wishes. ‎ ‎ Yours ‎ Kate ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
