【題目】It was a summer afternoon in the countryside. Wan Bo, a university student, was painting while his classmate Tang Qi was making a wooden box by the river. A little riding on a rocking horse caught their eye by chance. It brought them back to their childhood, warm and happy.

“Why not try to make one by ourselves?” said Wan Bo. “You are good at making things and I am interested in painting.”

“Actions speak louder than words,” Tang Qi said. Then, the two young men began to collect some information about it. During those days, watching videos about caring(雕刻) and shaping wood into horse shapes on the Internet became an important part of their life.

Several months later, a wooden rocking horse appeared. They felt so excited that they put the picture of it on the Internet right away. To their surprise, it attracted lots of people’s attention and some even hoped to order one.??? The two young men thought it might be a good chance. They sent some forms to the customers to make a survey. According to the result, they made each customer a special rocking horse. These horses were quite different from those produced in other factories, and they soon became popular among the customers.

【題目】Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (領(lǐng)巾) at a primary school in Xi’an. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011.

“I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing a green one. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves,” he said.

The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behaviour wear green scarves. Parents were angry. “The punish-ment is too bad. All children need their self-esteem (自尊) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right. It does harm to students’ self-esteem,” said one mother.

Educational expert (專家) Li Zhenxi said that school students have strong self-esteem. They hope to be respected (尊重) and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than call them ‘bad’ students,” he said. Now, the school has stopped the practice.

Some schools think more of students’ self-esteem and have done better in protecting students’ privacy

(隱私) and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using students’ names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Many teachers in China tell students their grades by sending text messages to their students.

Schools and teachers are doing more for students’ self-esteem. But it is a long way. Both teachers and parents should realize that test scores are not the only measure (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard. Adults should make students get to know their own value. The most important is to make students believe in themselves.

He supported green scarves by wearing a green 【1】 . He wanted to tell the students that there are no【2】? 　　　　 between green and red.

【題目】5-second rule:what’s the truth?

Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “5-second rule!”This so-called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?

Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(細(xì)菌) than if it sits there for longer.

For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of food—bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on various types of flooring-carpet, laminate(復(fù)合地板), and tile (瓷磚) for three seconds to 30 seconds.

Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer from carpet, while they’re most likely to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces after more than five seconds.

The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carried an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time,” Hilton told Forbes.

【1】What is the “5-second rule” about?

A. People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.

B. Food is safe when you pick up off the floor in less than five seconds.

C. It’s better to eat dropped food when it’s been on the floor for over five seconds.

D. Food will go bad when dropped on the floor in five second or less.

【2】Hilton’s test wanted to find out ________.

A. if the “5-second rule” is true??? B. the students’ favourite food

C. which food is easily dropped??? D. if different types of floor have different bacteria

【3】According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.

A. the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer

B. the dropped food on carpet had the least bacteria

C. bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tied surfaces

D. the wetter food was more likely to pick up bacteria

【4】According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped food does NOT depend on _______.

A. how long the food sits on the floor??? B. what the dropped food was

C. what the bacteria are??? D. what the weather is like that day
