In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her free time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year. As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip (退稿条) from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and ruined hopes can surface. A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No”, she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.” I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it. Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices. 67. What do we learn form the first paragraph? A. Now too many entertainments take up too much time. B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities. C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her free time. D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing. 68. What did the author say about her own writing experience? A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more. B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers. C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer. D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations. 69. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest? A. She had won a prize in the previous contest. B. She wanted to share her stories with readers. C. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help. D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing. 70. What’s the author’s advice for parents? A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions. B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in. C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience. D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.

The net profit of the province’s tourism industry was 7.5 billion, which was one fifth of the nation’s total. Tang noted that the tourism festival will give a further boost (促进) to the tourism development of Guangdong and the entire PPRD region.

Some people find it difficult to 36 Bjork’s music. Her sound is an acquired taste, but 37 you get into it, you’re hooked. After the 38 press conference, I was 39 to a room where we did a one-on-one 40 for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun. The 41 at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork 42 the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words. However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it. 1. According to the passage ______. A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things B. there should be egg in an eggplant C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree D. boxing rings should be round 2. Which of the following is the correct plural? A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth. 3. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning? A. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee. C. Quite a lot and quite a few. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell. 4. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”. A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish 5. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______. A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. dull
