Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintenden at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.
When he arivred at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."
1. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was ____________.
A. improving worker’s houses

2. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ____________.
A. into a rich family
B. into a noble family
C. into a poor family
D. into a middle class family
3. Owen’s experiment in the United States failed because ____________.
A. he lost all his money
B. he did not buy enough land
C. people who visited it were not impressed
D. it was too far away for him to organize it properly

Do you want to improve the way you study Do you feel nervous before a test Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.
If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
●You should always study in the same place. You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for
another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.
●Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.
●Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
●All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
●Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also
improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
●When you arive in the examination room, find your scat and sit down. Breathe slowly and
deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.
B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.
6. What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A. Your study desk or table.
B. Your textbook.
C. Your dictionary.
D. The equipment you need.
7. What can be inferred from the passage
A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.
B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
C. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.
C
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey" spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey" is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable dificulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can't be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as specch.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
8. Before children start speaking ____________.
A. they need equal amount of listening
B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eagar to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
9. Children who start speaking late ____________.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
10. A baby’s first noises are ____________.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings
B. an early form of language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something
D. an imitation of the speech of adults
11. The porblem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech ____________.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D. is one that should be completely ignored because children’s use of words is often meaningless
D
The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphalle and Titian was so realistic that George Washinglon reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural setings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures. His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
12. What is the main topic of the passage
A. The life of Charles Wilson Peale.
B. Portraits in the 18th century.
C. The Peale Museum.
D. A family of artists.
13. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that ___________.
A. Charles Wilson Peale’s painting was very lifelike
B. Washington respected Charles Wilson Peal’s work
C. Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian Peale
D. the painting of the two brothers was very large
14. Which of the following is NOT the child of Charles Willson Peale

B. Rubens Peale
C. Raphaelle Peale
D. Sarah Miriam Peale

Hot dogs
Hot dogs! Hot dogs! Come get your hot dogs! This variation on a German sausage has become extremely popular in America. It is a popular concession (特许物) sold at America's most beloved sporting events, baseball games. It is beloved by many. 16 Hot dogs are also very popular during summer cookouts, where people get together and they cook food outside on a grill.
Sausage, the main part of a hot dog, has been around since the 9th century B.C. It was first mentioned in The Odyssey, an epic poem (史诗) by the Greek poet, Homer. But, the type of sausage used in a hot dog, is called a frankfurter, and it originated in the 13th century, in Germany. 17
Later on, in about 1871, Charles Feltman, a German butcher, came up with the idea of putting a frankfurter sausage in the middle of a milk roll. He had a food stand in Coney Island (a popular tourist attraction with many amusement parks in Brooklyn, New York) and the hot dogs sold very well. 18
There are many different kinds of hot dogs out there, such as the Chicago Dog (beef hot dog topped with small pieces of onions, tomato slices, and sweet sauce). 19 Sometimes, in my family, when we feel like making a simple dinner, we'll take out the mini grill to make hot dogs. We have a long standing tradition of putting every condiment (佐料) in the refrigerator on top of our hot dogs. Out of all the hot dogs we've made, my favorite is the ho dog with everything on top. 20 It may be messy. Have fun and make your own hot dog! Eat and enjoy!
A. And so, an American tradition was born.
B. Note, do not wear a white shirt while eating.
C. Americans love it because it's easy and delicious.
D. Then, German immigrants brought the sausage to America.
E. The hot dog consists of a gilled or boiled sausage between a sliced roll.
F. A hot dog at a ballgame beats roast beef at a famous and expensive hotel.
G. Even with all these hot dog styles, you can still make your favorite hot dog.

范文
Good morning, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Thoughts on becoming a grown-up.” As a child, I always hoped that I could grow up as soon as possible so that I could have whatever I wanted and do whatever I liked. Now I’m a grown-up, but I find things do not go as I expected. Although I can enjoy more freedom, at the same time I realized that being a grown-up not only means this, but also more responsibilities. I hope to do more for my parents and society in the future to make my life more meaningful. To reach the goal, I must first try my best to pass the college entrance examination and enter a good university.
Thank you for your listening.
