The old man said  　3　 but took the son for a slow walk through a garden. There were lots of plants in it. Suddenly， the old man stopped in front of a small plant growing in the  　4　 and told the boy to pull it out. The boy held the plant between his two fingers and  　5　 pulled it out.

In fact， the difference in the spelling was started by Noah Webster. He was a teacher who reformed（改革） English to make American identity（特征） stronger. Linguists（语言学家） celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year. After the Revolutionary War， Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary， rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sound. He used “subway” instead of the British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football” “fall” and “autumn”. Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70，000－word dictionary with his American－style spelling in 1828. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity（统一） and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom. “He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity，” said Joshua Kendall， who is working on a book about Webster. “He brought us together through our language.” （　　）1. Why do Americans spell some words without a “u”？ A. Because the Americans are very lazy. B. Because the American English developed when people used it. C. Because the American government reformed the spelling of words. D. Because a linguist named Noah Webster started the reform in the spelling. （　　）2. Which is not true about Webster’s dictionary？ A. It has local words in it. B. It is a 70，000－word dictionary. C. All the words are spelled without a “u”. D. Its words are in American－style spellings. （　　）3. What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 3 mean？ A. 依赖 B. 信任 C. 容忍 D. 放弃 （　　）4. What do people think of Webster’s dictionary？ A. It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today. B. It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence. C. It has no influence on the development of American English. D. It helped to make American English more useful than British English. （　　）5. What’s the main idea of the passage？ A. The development of the British English. B. American English is better than British English. C. Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary. D. Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English. B（跨生物·遗传学） Do you look like your parents？ What genetic traits（遗传特性） did your parents pass on to you？ Was it their eye colour or their height？ It could be their sense of humour or their musical talent. Or maybe it was their fear of mathematics. Research at Ohio State University in the US has found that heredity（遗传） is partly responsible for children’s maths skills and anxiety about maths. Scientists studied over 500 sets of twins to find out how heredity affects maths anxiety. Over a period of 10 years， the twins completed maths tests and filled out surveys about their levels of maths anxiety. They found that fraternal twins（异卵双胞胎） had different levels of skills and anxiety about maths and that identical twins（同卵双胞胎） had similar levels. This shows that people’s fear of maths is partially affected by their genetic makeup（基因构成）. Maths anxiety has a strong effect on a child’s abilities. Scientists from the University of Chicago found maths anxiety can cause the same feeling as being physically hurt. The anxiety means that some students are not willing to study maths as much as they should. Therefore， they become even worse at maths and less confident in their skills. This only adds to their fear. But if you’re bad at maths， don’t try to blame it on your parents. The environment， including school and family， is also part of the equation（影响因素）. （　　）6. The underlined word “anxiety” in Paragraph 2 refers to a（n）  　　　　feeling. A. unhappy B. curious C. relaxing D. crazy （　　）7. What did the researchers at Ohio State University find？ A. Parents can pass their eye colour on to their children. B. Children’s maths skills are determined by their parents. C. Maths anxiety has something to do with heredity. D. Fear of maths is very common among twins. （　　）8. What do we know from the passage？ A. People are born with maths anxiety. B. There is no way to deal with maths anxiety. C. Parents should learn maths well themselves. D. Heredity is not the only cause of maths anxiety. （　　）9. According to the passage， what is responsible for children’s maths anxiety？ A. Heredity. B. The environment. C. School and family. D. All the above. （　　）10. Which of the following is true？ A. Maths anxiety is the same as being physically hurt. B. The feeling caused by maths anxiety is not different from that of being physically hurt. C. People’s fear of maths is totally affected by their genetic makeup. D. Fraternal twins have same anxiety about maths. 四、 根据首字母或汉语提示完成单词。（每小题1分，共5分） 1. Eric plays quite a lot of interesting ____________（角色） in life. 2.

They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family. Work hours are different from one country to another. In France， a worker spends about 1，487 hours a year at work. In Japan， a worker works about 1，611 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works longer a year than a French worker. Why do people work so many hours？ Some people work overtime. It means they work for more than 8 hours every day. That’s because they want to make more money. However， many companies（公司） don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some people are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France， people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany， they get four to six weeks，and in the US，two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of the workers use up all their vacation days. In Great Britain， there is a saying，“All work and no play makes Jack a dull（迟钝的） boy.” If that is true， there must be a lot of dull people in the world. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1. Why do many people say that they don’t have enough time to relax？ ________________________________________________________________ 2. How many hours does a Japanese worker work more than a French worker in a year？ ________________________________________________________________ 3. Why do people work so many hours？ （答出两点即可） ________________________________________________________________ 4.
