This morning I went to ask for my English teacher to give me some advice on why to learn English well on the weekend. When I arrived his office at 8 o’clock, he had already done her work for almost one hour. First, we should make a plan of study and carry them out until we succeed. Then, we must master any basic knowledge of English such as 26 letters and 48 sounds. Vocabulary is bricks and grammar is bones. We can make different kinds of phrases and sentences with them according the rules. Finally, practice make perfect. When I leave, it was 12 o’clock. Through this lesson, I learned something which couldn’t be learned from textbooks.

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. __66__. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “ Bent ”pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__67__. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever. __68__. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. __69__. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. __70__. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
|
A．The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin. |
|
B．It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved. |
|
C．The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place. |
|
D．Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used. |
E. Many people were killed while building the pyramids.
F. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will
continue to stand for thousands of years yet.
G. It takes workers twenty years to build the Pyramids.
What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”

|
C．often helped by his parents and teachers |
|
D．born with a good brain and putting it into active use |
What would life be like without rich, creamy, mouthwatering, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate?
Life would be bitter for most Americans. They spend about $13 billion a year buying all sorts of chocolate treats.
However, for the African children who toil under slavelike conditions on cacao plantations, life is not sweet. The cacao bean is the main ingredient in the chocolate. According to a 2002 survey by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and the US Agency for International Development, about 284,000 children work in dangerous conditions on cacao farms in western Africa.
More than half those children are younger than 14. Many were sold into forced labor to work 12 hours or more a day on the cacao plantations.
A number of international organizations, including several African governments, recently began a program to eliminate(消除) child labor on cacao plantations. Under the program, government officials will remove children from abusive working situations while teaching farmers about child labor issues.
The program will also make borrowing money easier for cacao farmers. Officials hope farmers will use the money to invest in their farms and hire paid laborers.
1.The cacao bean is the main ingredient in _______.
|
A．treats |

B．coffee |

C．chocolate |

D．cigarettes |
2.How many children under 14 work on cacao farms in western Africa?
|
A．About 284,000. |
|
B．About 142,000. |
|
C．About 467,000. |
|
D．About 876,000. |
3.From the passage, you can reasonably conclude that _______.
|
A．cacao farms in western Africa rely heavily on child labor |
|
B．children in Africa know how to make the best chocolate |
|
C．candy bars sold in the United States are made on plantations in Africa |
