Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.
Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits（益處）of knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively（有效地）. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
【小題1】The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to______.

A．discuss the need for teaching a new language
B．show the problems of speaking only one language
C．describe the advantages of moving to another country
D．introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers
【小題2】According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can______.
A．find a better job
B．make more friends
C．better understand history
D．communicate more independently
【小題3】The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (In Paragraph 5) means “people who know ______.”
A．more than one languageB．a(chǎn) new language
C．their mother languageD．body language
【小題4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to learn another language.
B．The importance of learning English.
C．The benefits of learning other languages.
D．The reasons why people come to America.

These days, I’m surprised at what my classmates have changed since school started. It’s not just the new teachers, new buildings, or new rules. I also notice how people are dressing differently. Dressing is not just a choice to keep warm. It’s also a healthy personal choice in so many ways.
Dress rules: Many schools have dress rules. They tell students what to wear at school. The teachers don’t hope to see their students wear unsuitable clothes in the classroom.
Self-respect: The way we dress shows the way we feel about ourselves. If we aren’t confident or need lots of attention, we’ll often dress in ways that help us get that attention. If you want to get attention in a healthy way, you don’t need to dress in an interesting way to express your mind.
Body image(形象): If some kids look very bad or ugly, dressing properly(正確地) can cover them. And it can also help them feel beautiful and comfortable among their friends.
Being what you wear: Dressing is important. Dressing in a wrong way can make people mistake(誤解)you. People like to judge according to what they see. Clothing can often give people a wrong idea.

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.
Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings.
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.

Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (綠領(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 green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”
The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.
Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,” he said.
A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done better in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.
But test scores are not the only measures of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.
【小題1】Bai Yansong wore a green tie in a TV program in order to _______.

A．show people his special dressing style
B．call on people to live a green life
C．tell students green-scarf students are also good students
D．remind students wearing green scarves means being bad
【小題2】Why did those parents whose children wore green scarves feel angry?
A．Because their children did do well at school.
B．Because they thought the school didn’t have the right.
C．Because it was against the law.
D．Because it hurts their children’s self-esteem.
【小題3】According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Primary school students are too young to know what self-esteem is.
B．Separating some “bad” students helps create good learning environment.
C．Most “good” students like their teachers to announce their scores.
D．Using secret numbers instead of students’ names can protect their privacy better.
【小題4】Which of the following may the writer agree with?
A．The green scarves system can make students work hard.
B．Student’s ability should not be measured only by test scores.
C．Students who get low marks should use secret numbers.
D．Teachers should tell students their scores secretly one by one.
【小題5】What does the word “measure” mean in the last paragraph?
A．長度 B．尺度
C．方法 D．標(biāo)準(zhǔn)

Many people go to school for an education. Some learn languages, history, math and other subjects. Others go to school to learn a skill. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher can not teach his students everything they want to know. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
Great people before us didn’t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish school. But they were all so successful because they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They worked hard all their lives. Above all , they knew how to use their heads.

C
Why are you study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(視覺型)，Auditory(聽覺型)，and Kinesthetic (動(dòng)覺型)。
Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(圖表)，and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You’re not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.
Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it’s the easiest way for you to learn . Sometimes you may find that taking notes tops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend’s notes to copy.
Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.
Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.
【小題1】There are____________ different learning types according to the passage.

A．two B．three C．four D．five 
【小題2】Jude can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice. She might be a /an ____________ according to the passage.
A．a(chǎn)uditory learner B．visual learner

【小題3】Kinesthetic learners learn best by  ____________
A．Remembering information from videos B．listening teachers in class 
C．drawing graphs or pictures D．doing things with their hands

Though the ways of teaching have come a long way, the ways of communicating between teachers and students are almost the same. But now, a European country is trying to change that by building schools that have no classrooms, no subject lessons and best of all, no grades.
The idea behind the special school is that children are creative. And researchers also think that kids’ learning and ideas are as important as those of the CEO of Google, so why not give them a similar environment? Kids may be successful in such an environment.
To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms. And even the lessons are taught in a special way, with mobile phones and computers.
There is no “right” or “wrong” kind of education. The school believes that everything is a learning experience, whether it is about a serious science project or making a movie inside the school’s recording studio.
One of the special schools opened in August, 2011. It has five learning areas. The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (個(gè)人的) projects without being bothered (打擾). The Lab is a place where students can do all kinds of experiments and test their ideas. Kids can work in groups in the same projects in The Camp Fire. The Show Off is where kids can show their inventions. And if the kids need a rest, they can visit The Watering Hole, which has all kinds of fun activities.
Sounds great? And the coolest thing is that the school is free! I hope more schools like this will appear in the world!
【小題1】What is the idea behind the special school?

A．The children are creative.
B．All the students need to be taught.
C．All the students must be successful.
D．All the students must have high grades.
【小題2】From the passage we can infer (推斷) that        in the special schools.
A．students are boredB．students are tired
C．students learn freely D．students learn from their teachers
【小題3】“The Cave is a secluded place ….” The word “secluded” probably means “   ” in Chinese.
A．清靜的B．固定的C．吵鬧的D．混合的
