Through history, children have played with toys and they help to prepare children for adult life. But the toys are changing all the time. As science and technology have changed the way adults live, the toys children play with have changed as well. Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with. Today trains and mobile phones are popular toys for young children, but there were no toys of this kind before real trains and mobile phones were invented. The materials that toys are made of have also changed. Today lots of toys are made of plastic. Plastic is a modern, man-made material that did not exist in the past. On the other hand, some other toys that you have might not be all that different from the ones children played with 1,000 years ago. Scientists have found some bone dice(骰子)in Aberdeen. In medieval(中世纪的)times dice were used for playing games as much as they are today.

A recent survey found that half of all the children aged from 4 to 6 have played video games, a quarter of them regularly. The increasing use of electronic toys troubles Dr Singer, a professor at Yale. “One thing we know is that kids in early years need to be in touch with the real world,” he said, “no matter how brilliant they are, they’re not going to learn to walk, to move or to talk to others unless their hands or feet have a direct role in such activities.”

Some toy experts argue that the best toys are the ones that increase a child’s creativity and imagination. Traditional toys can be used for different kinds of purposes and be used in group settings, individually(单独地), and one-to-one. They are also used differently depending on the child’s age and skill level. And these toys made of natural materials are valuable for children because they teach children what the world is made of.

1.In how many ways do toys change according to the first paragraph?

A. One.    B. Two.    C. Three.    D. Four.

2.The author used the example of “dice” to show that ______.

A. the toys are changing all the time

B. some toys are made of different materials

C. some toys don’t change over time

D. some toys’ materials don’t change over time

3.From the article, we can know that ______.

A. only children like to play with toys

B. toys have nothing to do with children’s future life

C. the development of toys is related to science and technology

D. plastic is the best material for making toys

4.According to Dr Singer, ______.

A. the electronic toys are good for children if they play often enough

B. the electronic toys prevent children keeping in touch with the real world

C. children should play with electronic toys instead of the traditional ones

D. children should be stopped from being hurt by the danger coming from the outside world

    At heart, parents always wish the best for their children, and they work hard for that. Nowadays, we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the baby is even born. Once kids start going to school, some parents want to have a time-to-time update of their kid's activities. They want to come to the classroom every day, keep an eye on whom they talk to, know the friends they keep, start telling them how to do their job, and keep talking or giving a feedback(反馈) to them about everything under the sun. Besides, they send their kids for extra hobby classes, as they want their children to do best in every field.

When it comes to the education, super mom and dad have all the plans made for their children, and I am sure that they have come up with the best. So, try to fight for the dreams that your parents have set for you. However, in some cases, it may happen that the kids have some different dreams. Parents sometimes don't even consider the choice of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life. It's good to plan the future for the children, but leave at least some decisions to them.

So what should the children do? First, hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it. Be patient and respect their decisions, but put your plan forth, and make them understand what you want to do and why. Many times, you are not aware of the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams. Ask your parents for suggestions, which will make them feel good and involved. That way, they may support you if you are going on the right path.

    London is great. It’s great. Rome and Paris are also fine places, but I knew as soon as we landed in London, this was the finest of the three.

There are only two small things that I don’t like about London. First of all, everyone speaks English here. I had so much fun in Rome and Paris. There I could speak in foreign languages. In a word, I made a lot of friends. But here everybody can understand me. I don’t have any reason to start up a conversation with a stranger. And speaking of restaurants---- that is the other problem with London. The food here is not good at all! I haven’t had one good meal in the three days since we were here.

Since you asked me to write to you about everything I learned on this trip, here is what I’ve learned about London.

London’s population of eleven million makes it the second largest city in the world. It is bigger than New York but not as big as Tokyo. London is twice the size of New York. It has an area of 620 square miles!

The Thames River runs right through the center of the city. Someone once called the Thames “liquid history”. It is a very good name. Dozens of armies have crossed it over the past few thousand years. One of the first was the army of Julius Caesar two thousand years ago.

So far I have only had time to visit one neighbor-hood. It is called Bloomsbury. In fact there is a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group. It got its name because so many of them lived there. Virginia Woolf was one of them. I know how much you like her novels.

Baker Street is also part of Bloomsbury. Do you remember who once lived on Baker Street?when I asked Bob this question, he answered , “ A man who baked bread, right? Sherlock Holmes, of course, but I won’t have time to find his address. Maybe you will when you come.

1.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ____________.

A.It is more difficult to begin a conversation in English in London than in any languages

B.The writer had made trips to Italy and France before he came to England

C.Of all the meals the writer has had in London, only one he thinks is good enough

D.The writer hates to talk to strangers who can speak English

2.According to the text, who once lived on Baker Street?

A.A man who baked bread.

B.Sherlock Holmes.

C.A group of writers

D.A friend of the writer’s

3.Where is the text most probably taken from?

A.letter B.A diary

C.A guidebook D.A business report

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

There was something in the elderly woman’s grace that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of her steps, the woman moved with deliberation (从容), and there was no hesitation in her gestures.

It was a few years ago, and I had taken a part - time holiday - season job in a video. store at the local shopping mall. From inside the store, I could see the people outside rushing by.

The elderly woman entered the store, along with her daughter, who was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, sighing and checking her watch every few seconds. I guessed if she had possessed a rope, she would have fastened it to her mother to drag her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.

The elderly woman separated from her daughter and began to seek through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on an old piece of paper.

Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I thought I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.

Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who’d passed away the previous Christmas. I missed my mom and still felt regretful about the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life unhappy.

As we walked along the back of the store, I introduced its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.

We found the DVD and she thanked me, saying that it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age. Unwillingly, I accompanied her to the cash register, realizing I had to return the elderly woman to her daughter, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.

Paragraph 1: As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2: Together they made their way toward the store’s exit. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
