His parents were scientists, and Simon dreamed of becoming one, too. He had one week to complete his report on bees. He would work really hard on it. It was a chance to study the behavior of bees, which he always wanted to learn about. Simon walked into the house and found his younger brother, Tom, playing on the floor with paper tubes (纸筒). “Simon, help me build a city!” Tom said. “Sorry, I need to do a report on bees and I haven’t got any idea yet.” Simon replied. He walked into the yard, hoping to find the old beehive (蜂窝). There it was, among the firewood. It smelled like dry leaves and each cell (巢室) was six-sided. “How do bees manage to do that? Can they count?” Simon wondered, as he walked back to the living room while studying the beehive. Suddenly, a shout from Tom broke his thought, “Oh, no! I am destroying my city!” Tom had knocked over his water bottle and the water was running all over his paper tubes. Simon sighed, “It’s okay, Tom. Accidents happen.” He got down and started picking up the wet tubes, comforting his little brother. Holding them together, he noticed there was one tube in the middle, with six others around it. The wet center tube was pushed into six-sided, just like the cells of the beehive! Just to be sure, he tried to put five and then seven tubes around the centre tube, but neither way fits. Six was the only number that worked. He said aloud, “Bees just build round cells and stick the sides together. The cells have to be six-sided.” His idea was finally coming together. Simon looked at Tom cheerfully, “Tom, I know what to write in the report. And now I will build a model beehive with your tubes! Will you help me?” Tom, still in tears, looked up at Simon. “Really? You mean I can help?” He began picking out his finest tubes, a smile returning to his face. 26. Why didn’t Simon want to help Tom at first? A. He had a lot of homework to do. B. He thought Tom’s game was boring. C. He didn’t like playing with his brother. D. He was worried about his science project. 27. How did Simon learn about the beehive? A. By experimenting. B. By playing with Tom. C. By watching Tom playing. D. By asking parents for help. 28. Which of the following best describes Simon? A. Smart and brave. B. Creative but careless. C. Cheerful but forgetful. D. Hard-working and patient. (B) Maria Montessori is a famous Italian educationalist, whose method of teaching has influenced people all over the world. Born in Italy in 1870, Montessori became the first woman doctor in her country after she graduated from medical school in 1896. Later, working with poor children, she set up a “Children’s house” in Rome in 1907.The rooms were bright and colorful. This was the place where she developed the Montessori Method, which was formed during 1908-1913. Maria thought that children must be free to learn without being criticized (批评) or limited. She let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed, not the rest of the class or the teacher. As a result, children enjoy learning and this gives them confidence and makes them happy. The Montessori Method also teaches children skills to help them become independent. Very young children learn to dress themselves, to cook and to put their toys and clothes away. It’s a way of teaching which encourages children to learn by doing and experimenting. Children are encouraged to repeat activities as often as they wish, and they develop their observation (观察) skills by doing different activities. In addition, the Montessori Method thinks that teacher is a guide, not a leader of the classroom, helping to open students’ eyes to wonder around them. A typical room in a Montessori school has many things children can use. The furniture is light so they can arrange it as they wish. Because the environment offers many activities, children like to work together and they develop a social life based on cooperation (合作) rather than competition. Maria Montessori travelled around the world to train teachers to use her method. In 1950, she received the World Peace Education Badges. 29. How old was Montessori when she became a doctor? A. 24. B. 25. C. 26. D. 27. 30. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Italy. B. A children’s house. C. Medical school. D. Montessori Method. 31. Which of the following is NOT the idea of the Montessori Method? ______ A. The teacher is not a leader but a guide. B. Make children repeat the same activity every day. C. Help children become more independent. D. Encourage children to learn by themselves. 32. According to the passage, what’s the correct order of the following statements? a.The Montessori Method was formed. b.Maria Montessori was born in Italy. c.Maria Montessori set up a “children’s house” in Rome. d.Maria Montessori graduated from a medical school. e.Maria Montessori received the World Peace Education Badges. A. b-a-e-c-d. B. b-d-a-c-e. C. b-d-c-a-e. D. b-a-c-d-e. (C) Teens often find themselves hard to talk about their needs or values with others. Even when their guts (直觉) are telling them that someone is crossing a line with them, it’s difficult for them to express that the situation is making them uncomfortable. For this reason, teens need to learn how to set boundaries (界限) with others. Although boundaries are different for everyone they help teens set limits with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them, and it is necessary for teen friendships as well. Explanation of Boundaries Boundaries are limits that teens set to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied. As an expression of self-esteem, boundaries let people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated. In addition, boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need them. Importance of Boundaries Learning how to set boundaries is an important part of growing up. It’s also necessary to develop relationships that are respectful supportive, and healthy. However, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends. When it happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying. Setting boundaries with other people not only helps keep teens safe but also helps protect their mental health. If teens meet bad people in their lives, such as unkind friends or adults that make them feel uncomfortable, they need to set boundaries with those people, too. Being in an unhealthy relationship can cause bad results. Ways of Setting Boundaries In fact, teens will run into a number of different situations throughout their lives that challenge their values and beliefs. Knowing how to set boundaries can help them stay safe and be true to who they are. Please have a look at the following ways. 33. Which one is a good example of setting boundaries according to the passage? A. George talked about his hobby with his best friend. B. Jerry refused to communicate with his parents and friends. C. Kelly asked her parents for help when she was in trouble. D. Betty let her friend know how she wanted to be treated politely. 34. What is the advantage of setting boundaries? A. Getting respect from others. B. Reducing space with others. C. Knowing the value of friends. D. Building up healthy relationships. 35. What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean in paragraph 3? A. little interest in one’s own value B. doubt about one’s pride and worth C. confidence in one’s own abilities and worth D. feelings of being unworthy of love or respect 36. What may the writer talk about in the next paragraph? A. The tips for setting boundaries. B. The different types of boundaries. C. The influence of setting boundaries. D. The examples of setting boundaries. (D) Doctors recommend that kids spend most of their time being active outdoors and playing with their parents. However, that doesn’t mean TV has to be taken out of their family life. There are several educational TV shows that help your children learn before and after they enter school. Take a look at these four TV shows that your kids should watch. Sesame Street As one of the longest children’s shows on TV, Sesame Street is still a favourite with parents.

This TV show teaches kids how to put letters together to make words and how to pronounce words when reading. It’s great for kids from preschool to second grade. Super Why! has been aired on PBS and PBS Kids Sprout since 2008. Thomas and Friends Based on the railway series books by Reverend Wilbert Awdry, Thomas and Friends follows the story of locomotive (火车头) friends who live on Sodor Island. There are large engines and small engines. It teaches kids to accept others for who they are and always do their best in everything. After all, the popular sentence of the show is “I think I can.” Thomas and Friends has been aired since 1984. However, the show was totally redone in 2003 by ITV. Arthur Based on a classic children’s book series by Marc Brown, Arthur is about a little boy named Arthur from Elwood City. He has to deal with several situations that many children face today.
