A Good Teacher is a Strict Teacher
One of the most important parts in the healthy development of a
child is played by education. But the way in which education is
understood has changed completely, as we must not forget that
the severe and unfeeling way of bringing up a child in the past
was primarily based on cruel grounding(基礎)and strict
rules that were supposed to create accomplished individuals, the typical gentlemen. Nowdays,
society is much more open-minded and it does not put a great value on being strict, although this
doesn’t mean that opinions regarding this subject do not differ.
On the one hand, there are also people who believe that there has got to be a bound between
teacher and student if any satisfying results are awaited. Luckily for us, more and more teachers are
understanding this fact and are doing their best to get over the strict rules and get in touch with us.
My opinion is that only by having a friendly attitude and accepting other opinions, especially
those of your pupils, you are truly able to do your job at high standards. However, this does not
mean that a teacher shouldn’t be a bit more rough when he feels that things are getting out of hand.
All in all, I must say that a good teacher is the teacher that has the ability to be kind and strict at the
same time, thus achieving to gain his students respect and interest.
The aim of education in the past was to .
A.create perfect persons B.create open-minded persons
C.bring up a child D.build a cruel grounding
According to the passage, the narrow-minded people think .
A.a(chǎn) pupil is always interested in what he is learning
B.a(chǎn) pupil himself will improve his studies
C.children should be made to study
D.children don’t like a rough hand
The underlined word “job” in the last paragraph can be replaced by .
A.controlling B.teaching C.learning D.punishing
The author thinks a good teacher should be .
A.kind and strict B.skilled and clever
C.rough and cruel D.friendly and practical
It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.society is much more open-minded and being strict is out date
B.a(chǎn)s long as the teachers are strict with students, the students will certainly get good marks
C.most people are in favor of strict teachers because they have strict grounding and strict rules
D.if we expect students to develop in a healthy way, the good relationship between teachers and students is important

Mothers can still offer comfort, even from a distance, a new study has found. The results show that simply hearing their mothers’ voice over the phone works just as well at calming the nerves of stressed children as a real-life pat on the shoulder.
The soothing(撫慰的)effect is most likely due to the release of the hormone(荷爾蒙), oxytocin(催生素), in the brain, the researchers say. This “l(fā)ove hormone” is known to quell stress and is likely to be involved in social connections, including those between a mother and a child.
Previous work has revealed that this hormone is released during physical contact with a mother. “But it’s clear from these results that a mother’s voice can have the same effect as a hug, even if she isn’t actually standing there,” said the researcher, Leslie Seltzer, a biological scientist.
Seltzer tested a group of 61 girls, aged 7 to 12, by having them make an unprepared speech and solve a series of maths problems in front of a group of strangers, sending their hearts racing and levels of cortisol—a hormone associated with stress—soaring.
Facing a challenge like that raises stress levels of a lot of people. Once stressed, a third of the girls were comforted in person by their mothers with hugs. A third of the girls watched an emotionally neutral 75-minute video. The rest were handed a telephone with their mothers on the line.
For the girls who interacted in person or over the phone with their mothers, the levels of the “l(fā)ove hormone” rose significantly, and the stress-marking hormone was washed away. This effect didn’t show up for participants who watched the video.
Seltzer is now testing the amount of oxytocin released with other communication methods—like text messaging—and hopes to see the research spread out from human subjects. “It’s not just us, of course. Lots of very social species have voices,” she said. “on the one hand, we are curious to see if this effect is unique to humans. On the other, we’re hoping researchers who study vocal communication will consider looking at oxytocin release in other animals and apply it to broader questions of social behavior and evolutionary biology.
【小題1】Mothers’ voice over the phone can reduce children’s nerves according to the study, because .
A.children can imagine their mothers’ hugs on the line |
B.children enjoy their mothers’ voice and forget their worries |
C.mothers are good at comforting their children, even on the phone |
D.mothers’ voice can promote the release of the love hormone |
A.cause or bring | B.delay or direct |
C.stop or reduce | D.develop or train |
A.the level of cortisol determines how stressed a person is |
B.the 61 girls were divided into two groups in the research |
C.the recent study had the same results as the previous one |
D.watching a video is the best way to reduce one’s stress |
A.text messaging has the same effect on oxytocin release as telephoning |
B.the effect of a mother's voice on oxytocin in animals is still not known |
C.the effect of communication on stress is unique to humans |
D.the research has been applied to social behavior and evolutionary biology |

If you think American cooking means opening a package and throwing the contents into the microwave oven (微波爐), think again. On the one hand, it’s true that many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant (方便的) dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience (方便) of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills. Parents — especially mothers — see the importance of training their children — especially daughters. Most Americans think that there’s nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident.
Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method (方法) of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.
For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.
【小題1】This passage mainly tells us that ______.
A.Americans like to have several different colors of food on the plate |
B.without an oven, Americans find it impossible to live conveniently |
C.Americans pay special attention to recipes and nutritious meals |
D.Americans usually have fast food, but they pay special attention to cooking as well |
A.they like instant food very much |
B.they don’t like cooking at all |
C.most American working people are busy and don’t have time to cook |
D.fast food is delicious and it usually contains a lot of vitamins |
A.good cooking doesn’t come easily; it needs a lot of practice |
B.just like any other skill, cooking may bring good results |
C.cooking comes from one’s gift, not through practice |
D.cooking can lead to accidents |
A.Americans don’t care about food |
B.Americans are not good at cooking because they like to use recipes |
C.a(chǎn)n oven plays an important role in cooking for Americans |
D.while cooking, Americans usually run out of ideas |
