     Many children in England get given lunch at school.There are new rules about what children may be given for these lunches.The reason for this is to give children healthier food.There are many foods that children aren't allowed to eat and they're only allowed to eat small amounts of fatty or sweet food.If you were at a school there,you might hear this conversation as you wait for your lunch.

      Josh:Whats for lunch?I want chips.

      Josh:Really!Oh yes,on Monday.Well,what can I have?I'd like pasta and sauce.

      Dinner lady:No,sorry.Pasta counts as (算作)a pastry dish.So you can't have that,either.

You've had two pastry dishes this week﹣a meat pie and a pizza.You can have vegetables or salad.The meatballs are nice today.

      Josh:All right.I'll have meatballs and steamed vegetables.I hope they're tasty.

in it.The new rules encourage you to drink water.No soft drinks at all.

      Students cannot have more than two portions (价额)a week of food that has been deep﹣fired.They must have at least three different fruits and three different vegetables every week.Whole grains such as brown bread are to be given,instead of"white"grains.

Thinking is something you choose to do, just as a fish choose to live in water. To be human is to be always thinking. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your own ideas, or you might be controlled by others' ideas. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.

The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It doesn't mean taking one opinion against another, as when someone criticizes (批评) another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond (超出) what you easily see ﹣ beyond the pictures on TV or reports in newspapers.

What are critical thinkers like? If you want to know about life and hope to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.

Critical thinking is a deep and careful thinking. It takes time, and doesn't go with the fast speed in today's world. If you are among people who believe speed is a measure of intelligence (智力测量), you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Hoffman, a well﹣known scientist, talked with Einstein about his work, he was too nervous to speak. But Einstein got him relaxed right away by saying, "Please go slowly. I don't understand things quickly."

56. According to the passage, if we don't think critically,  

A. it will be hard for us to think fast

B. we will make mistakes easily

C. we might be fooled by other people

D. we might be controlled by others' ideas

57. What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?  

A. Don't believe in others.

B. Criticizing others is wrong.

C. What the word "critical" means.

D. The word "critical" is quite special.

58. If you are a critical thinker, you will  

A. think deeply about different ideas

B. believe the reports in newspapers

C. take one opinion against another

D. criticize other people for their mistakes

59. The story of Einstein mentioned in the passage shows  

A. Einstein thinks quickly

B. Hoffman thinks slowly

C. speed can improve intelligence

D. intelligence is not decided by speed

60. What can be the best title of the passage?  

A. Critical Thinkers

B. Critical Thinking

C. Thinking Naturally

D. Thinking Fast

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20minutes to play computer games.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.

"Every house is a team effort," Jane said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean."

Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.

Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards," says Joe Black, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores."

A. housework isn't worth doing

B. kids are not willing to do chores

C. kids should get something in return

D. kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores

A. To give kids points and gifts.

C. To exchange points for real rewards.

D. To give kids advice on doing chores.

For years,psychologists(心理学家) have been against giving children prizes or money for their performance in school."Outwards"prizes,they say,can undermine the joy of learning for its own good and can even lead to cheating.

But many economists(经济学家) and business people disagree,and their opinions often become popular in the educational market place.Prize programs that pay students are underway in many cities.In some places,students can bring home hundreds of dollars for,say,taking an Advanced Placement course and having high grades in the exams.

"Whether such efforts work continues to be a debate(争议),"said Barbara Marian,an assistant professor of education at Pennsylvania State.She is against using prizes as encouragement.Among parents,it often leads to very hot discussion.And in public education,a new focus on school reform(改革) pushes researchers on both sides of the debate to make more efforts to get data(数据) that may provide information on when and whether prizes work.

"We have to get beyond our biases(偏见),"said Roland Fryer,aneconomist at Harvard University who is planning and testing several prizeprograms."Luckily,the scientific method allows us to examine most ofthose biases and let the data do the talking."In the cash programs being studied,Roland Fryer and other economists compare the schoolperformance of groups of students who are paid and students who arenot.In the study,they find that the students who are prized get highergrades on the SAT and go to better colleges than those who are not.

However,many psychologists believe that early data can be one﹣sided.Research suggests that prizes may work in the short term but havebad influences in the long term.

"Are they highly interested in what they are doing?Or does it feel like hard work?The same prize program might have different influences ondifferent kinds of students,"said Kirabo Jackson,a famous psychologist at Cornell University."The higher the prize is,the more harmful the result might be."

81.The underlined word"undermine"in Paragraph l most probably means"  ".

A.understand

B.examine

C.kill

D.protect

82.From Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3,we can learn that  

A.the students'parents welcome prize programs

B.prize programs are getting popular in many cities

C.Thegovernment provides money for prize programs

D.all theeducation researchers support prize programs

83.According to Roland Fryer and other economists'study,students who are paid  

A.have more scientific methods

B.like to discuss with other students

C.always cheat in examinations

D.have better performance at school

84.The passage mainly tells us  

A.how to use prizes to encourage the students

B.different opinions on giving students prizes

C.how to make students study hard in schools

D.bad results caused by some prize programs

85.What does the writer think of prize programs?

Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies all the time! It can be a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent(依赖的)on them!

    In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care, their children don't know anything about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents, these children will be in a big trouble!

    It's nice that parents show their care to their children. It's nice that children know that their parents' care is out of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.

Mr Guo is a teacher from Xi'an.He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码)."We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes,and in the end everything gets easier,"said Guo."When students finish the homework,they keep it on WeChat (微信).Then,each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me.So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone."

   The QR codes can be sent to Mr Guo by email,QQ and WeChat.When Guo scans (扫描) his

students'QR codes,their homework appears on his phone.He finds that their homework becomes more

When meeting strangers, we usually notice their hair, skin colour and clothes. We like to group those things we don't know by comparing them with the things we know.

So what's wrong with this? For example, we think that short boys can't possibly be good basketball players. The girls who love to be dressed up can't be excellent students. Or we think shy students can't be good at giving speeches. These are typical(典型的) examples of stereotypes.

Stereotypes make people form a wrong opinion about others at first sight. In fact, it takes a lot more than just looking at a person to know and understand him or her. The following is my story.

One day, it was snowing, but not very heavily. Before class, I collected all the exercise books and sent them to the teachers' office. The exercise books looked piles in my arms, so I could hardly see the ground. Suddenly, I slipped over(滑倒) and dropped all the exercise books I was carrying.

I tried to stand up but failed, I was about to pick them up when I saw a boy coming towards me. It was Mike.

Mike and I had been classmates for over 2years, but we had never shared more than 5sentences together. He was a boy with few words, but I liked talking. We were totally different. I didn't like him and didn't want to be seen at that moment.

"Anything serious?" His words brought me out of my thoughts. "I saw you sitting on the ground from the back window, so I rushed here. Let me help you!" He helped me up and picked all the exercise books up.

Seeing this, I was so moved that I couldn't say a single word.

We walked towards the teachers' office and this time, he talked a lot to me. I found quite a different Mike.

I took a deep breath and said to myself, "I nearly made a big mistake ﹣ judging(判断) MIke only by his appearance."

B: Shy students can't be good at giving speeches.

C: Short boys can't possibly be good basketball players.

D: The girls who love to be dressed up can't be excellent students.

27. Why did the writer dislike Mike at the beginning?  

A: Because the writer didn't know Mike at all.

B: Because Mike didn't hand in his exercise book.

C: Because the writer thought they weren't the same type.

D: Because Mike didn't help the writer collect the exercise books.

28. The writer probably wants to tell us  

A: we'd better not go outside on snowy days

Parents of very young children know this:You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie﹣﹣the evidence of candy written on his or her face.However,you get a wide﹣eyed denial:"I didn't do it!"

Learning to tell the truth,even at the risk of punishment,is an important part of moral (道德) development,and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.

Early 2017 Professor Craig E.Smith published a study.He and his workmates chose 48children between four and nine years of age.They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong,such as taking a classmate's toy or candy,and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it.In each case,they asked the children,How would the child feel?How would the mother feel?

The children's answers were generally divided according to age,which is in agreement with the stolen candy,lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed.However,the seven﹣to﹣nine﹣year﹣olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.

Smith says,"Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action."He adds,what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.

B.Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.

C.The four﹣to﹣five﹣year﹣olds would feel better confessing the crime
