Mind Maps

    Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language.

1Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle. For example:

    transport.

    2Brainstorm some word groups for 'transport' and think of headings for each one. For example:

    sea transport

    land transport

    air transport

    For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle.

    3Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in 'land transport' there are two sub﹣groups;

    ●road

    ●rail

    Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them.

    4When you can't make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.

    5As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.

    6To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts of the map.

(1)The instructions above mainly show us  

A. what mind maps are

B. how to draw mind maps

C. what mind maps can do

D. how to make mind maps better

(2)What can we learn about mind maps?  

A. Mind maps are usually started with a line.

B. Mind maps should be simple, with no colour.

C. A mind map is only used for language learning.

D. A mind map is a picture with useful information.

(3)Which of the following shows the right order of making a mind map?  

a. Draw a circle in the middle of the page.

b. Add new circles and write the group words 'sea', 'land' and 'air' in them.

c. Write 'transport' in the middle of the circle.

d. Brainstorm some word groups for 'transport'.

Life offers so many lessons, both practical and personal, that you're never too young to begin learning them. Here are some skills to learn as soon as possible.

   Money Management

   When you start receiving money of your own. It's time to start understanding your relationship with money. In a world where you can buy any and every object, the key is to save money by buying only essentials (必需品) and a treat sometimes.

   Cooking

   One great way to save money is to learn to cook for yourself. Beyond that, cooking at home also helps you control your diet for better health. If you start doing this at an early age, you will not have to depend on your parents too much.

   Keeping Promises:

   Promises are a matter of honesty and should be made with care. We must learn from an early age that our word must be followed up by action. When it isn't, others will quickly lose trust in us and not respect us.

   Accepting Rejection (拒绝)

   Though you must. be careful not to break your word, others' promises aren't always kept. Learn about it early, and you won't be hurt easily. Also, not every job application or desired (渴望的) friendship will work out, so remember that there are more fish in the sea.

   Lifelong Learning

   No matter how old you get, there will always be things beyond your understanding. It's better to learn to be modest now rather than take a proud fall later in life. Be open to new experiences and keep learning. And it's never too late to start.

(1)How many skills are talked about in the passage?   

(2)Which two skills can help you save money?   

(3)If one of your friends breaks his promise to you, will you be angry? Why or why not?

We wake up very early to go to school, maybe even earlier to meet with a teacher, complete our extracurricular(课程以外的) activities, come home to have a quick dinner, talk for eight minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep. But then we remember. We have to look at the American College Test(ACT) exercises one more time. Half asleep, we run downstairs to get the ACT book, and start studying. After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep. And then six hours later, we do it all over again.

In my health class, my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night. The sad truth is, with so much to do every day, high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule(安排).

Let me ask you all a question: Doesn't it seem more humane(人道的) to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night? This would allow us to have the eight to nine hours of much needed sleep. Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work a night? It leaves us very little time to relax, therefore reducing the time that we can sleep.

In my opinion, the present structure(结构) of the junior year of high school doesn't work well. Junior year of high school is a time for growth. By this time many students have the ability to think creatively, and solve challenging problems. Homework is important for a student's growth. But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it? Too much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability. I do think it is time to change the structure, so that we sleep at home, and learn at school.

(1)In the first paragraph the writer gives  

A. a picture of the present daily life of high school students

B. an example of an ideal daily life of high school students

C. a reason for high school students to live a busy daily school life

D. a suggestion of what high school students should do to pass ACT

(2)From the last paragraph we know that the writer thinks  

A. Junior year of high school is the most important growth period

B. challenging problems are needed for a teenager's growth

C. the ability to think has nothing to do with homework

D. the present structure leads to students often sleeping in class

(3)Why does the writer write this article?  

A. To prove the role of enough sleep in teenagers' growth.

B. To complain about the problems in the system of the ACT.

C. To ask for a change for less homework and more sleep.

D. To discuss the relationship between sleep and homework.

"Our lives are a gift to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate ﹣ our friends around us, the job that provides us our livelihood, the miracles we see every day."

"Still we just focused on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships ect., but we never see that these problems are very small compared with everything we have in our life."

Thinking is something you choose to do, just as a fish choose to live in water. To be human is to be always thinking. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your own ideas, or you might be controlled by others' ideas. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.

The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It doesn't mean taking one opinion against another, as when someone criticizes (批评) another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond (超出) what you easily see ﹣ beyond the pictures on TV or reports in newspapers.

What are critical thinkers like? If you want to know about life and hope to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.

Critical thinking is a deep and careful thinking. It takes time, and doesn't go with the fast speed in today's world. If you are among people who believe speed is a measure of intelligence (智力测量), you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Hoffman, a well﹣known scientist, talked with Einstein about his work, he was too nervous to speak. But Einstein got him relaxed right away by saying, "Please go slowly. I don't understand things quickly."

56. According to the passage, if we don't think critically,  

A. it will be hard for us to think fast

B. we will make mistakes easily

C. we might be fooled by other people

D. we might be controlled by others' ideas

57. What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?  

A. Don't believe in others.

B. Criticizing others is wrong.

C. What the word "critical" means.

D. The word "critical" is quite special.

58. If you are a critical thinker, you will  

A. think deeply about different ideas

B. believe the reports in newspapers

C. take one opinion against another

D. criticize other people for their mistakes

59. The story of Einstein mentioned in the passage shows  

A. Einstein thinks quickly

B. Hoffman thinks slowly

C. speed can improve intelligence

D. intelligence is not decided by speed

60. What can be the best title of the passage?  

A. Critical Thinkers

B. Critical Thinking

C. Thinking Naturally

D. Thinking Fast

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.

"Every house is a team effort," Jane said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean."

Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards," says Joe Black, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores."

51. Jane Smith thinks that  

A. housework isn't worth doing

B. kids are not willing to do chores

C. kids should get something in return

D. kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores

For years,psychologists(心理学家) have been against giving children prizes or money for their performance in school."Outwards"prizes,they say,can undermine the joy of learning for its own good and can even lead to cheating.

But many economists(经济学家) and business people disagree,and their opinions often become popular in the educational market place.Prize programs that pay students are underway in many cities.In some places,students can bring home hundreds of dollars for,say,taking an Advanced Placement course and having high grades in the exams.

"Whether such efforts work continues to be a debate(争议),"said Barbara Marian,an assistant professor of education at Pennsylvania State.She is against using prizes as encouragement.Among parents,it often leads to very hot discussion.And in public education,a new focus on school reform(改革) pushes researchers on both sides of the debate to make more efforts to get data(数据) that may provide information on when and whether prizes work.

"We have to get beyond our biases(偏见),"said Roland Fryer,aneconomist at Harvard University who is planning and testing several prizeprograms."Luckily,the scientific method allows us to examine most ofthose biases and let the data do the talking."In the cash programs being studied,Roland Fryer and other economists compare the schoolperformance of groups of students who are paid and students who arenot.In the study,they find that the students who are prized get highergrades on the SAT and go to better colleges than those who are not.

However,many psychologists believe that early data can be one﹣sided.Research suggests that prizes may work in the short term but havebad influences in the long term.

"Are they highly interested in what they are doing?Or does it feel like hard work?The same prize program might have different influences ondifferent kinds of students,"said Kirabo Jackson,a famous psychologist at Cornell University."The higher the prize is,the more harmful the result might be."

Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies all the time! It can be a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent(依赖的)on them!

    In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care, their children don't know anything about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents, these children will be in a big trouble!

    It's nice that parents show their care to their children. It's nice that children know that their parents' care is out of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.
