There’s no lack of family fun in New York City, especially when you and your family visit the many amazing museums for kids. Every site offers something exciting. If you’re looking to enjoy a weekend or a day ff
school,try the following museums for kids.
Children’s Museum of Manhattan
This nearly 40, 000-square-foot museum makes learning about culture and science an enjoyable experience for kids. It also hosts classes and workshops which are all designed with the latest child-development research in
mind.
Brooklyn Children’s Museum
When founded in 1899, the BCM was the country’s first museum designed for children. Today, it’s one of the most comprehensive(综合性的)museums, with a collection of 30, 000 objects, including musical instruments, masks, dolls and fossils. Kids have fun while learning at interactive(互动的)exhibitions like “World Brooklyn”, a mini city lined by stores where children can make bread at the Mexican Bakery, or shop for candy at the
International Grocery.
DiMenna Children’s Museum
Exhibitions and programs at this kid-focused New-York Historical Society transport children back through
350 years of U. S. history. Galleries show the lives of kids who grew up to become famous doctors, athletes and
political figures, and Little New-Yorkers classes invite kids to join in sing-alongs and make crafts.
Children’s Museum of the Arts
This museum is especially designed for kids so that they can travel around the art world. The 10, 000-square-foot museum has more room to house its 2, 000-piece collection of international children’s art, including a huge center gallery. Artists lead workshops in classrooms, studios and media labs—which are famous
for a sound station, a clay bar and the video-making equipment.

School bus drivers have to keep the kids safe on their way to and from school. But one driver, Patricia Reitz, goes way above and beyond. She has made it her mission to give each child a handmade hat to keep them warm in
the winter.
Miss Patty—the name students, teachers and parents call her—has given away more than 7,000 hats in the
nearly three decades she worked for the Clarence Central School District in New York, reported WGRZ.
“She cares about her students,” third grade teacher Deborah Bosworth told WGRZ. “Any student that has
been on Miss Patty’s bus gets a hat, and they also get a friend. Miss Patty is one of the favorites.”
This tradition began when Reitz took up crocheting(针织). She would work on items while she waited for
students to get on the bus after school. One boy got on the bus, and he asked what she was doing. He said wearing a hat would be great going down ski slopes( 斜 坡 ). So Reitz asked him what color he liked. “That started
everything,” said Reitz. And it snowballed from there.
Reitz specializes in Santa hats, but she will make other hats too. The hats are two colors that the students choose and always have two tassels(流苏). Reitz buys all needed for the hats but she also receives gift cards from families especially around Christmas. This is a gift that comes from the heart. Despite the amount of work involved, Reitz has no intention of stopping. In fact, she has already began working on next year’s hats. “I’m
going to do it until I can’t do it anymore,” she said.
While other school bus drivers will purchase hats and gloves for their charges, a homemade gift made with
love brings warmth even during the coldest winter days.
4 .What did Patricia Reitz do for the students
A .She gives away hats to students on her bus for free.
B .She made hats for students in exchange for gifts.
C .She gives away hats to students with low charges.
D .She made crocheting items on school bus
5 .What do students get along with a hat from Miss Patty
A .The way to make friends. B .The chance to help others.
C .Love and warmth in cold winter. D .A different experience on school bus.
6 .Which of the following can best describe Miss Patty
A .Generous and absent-minded. B .Addicted and energetic.
C .Calm and warm-hearted. D .Loving and determined.
7 .What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A .Students have no choice of the hats.
B .Making the hats demands great efforts.
C .The hats are of the same color and style.
D .Reitz has no intention of continuing the tradition.
C
For nearly ten years, I have spent my Monday evenings attending rehearsals for my amateur choir(合唱队). Mondays are not my favourite day, and I often arrive in a bad mood, but by the end of the rehearsal, I usually feel energized. The singing does me good. So do the people. With a few exceptions, I would not describe my fellow
choir members as close friends. We exchange brief chats, smiles and jokes-—but that is enough for me to come
away feeling a little better about the world.
There is no choir practice now, and won’t be for a long time. I miss it. In lockdown, I do not feel short on emotional support, but I do feel short of friendly faces and casual conversations. Another way of putting this is
that I miss my “weak ties” .
In 1973, Mark Granovetter, a sociology professor at Stanford University, published a paper entitled “The Strength of Weak Ties”. Until then, scholars had assumed that an individual’s well-being depended mainly on the quality of relationships with close friends and family. Granovetter showed that quantity mattered, too. He categorized a person’s social world as “strong ties” and “weak ties”. His central insight was that for new ideas, weak ties are more important to us than strong ones. As Granovetter pointed out, the people whom we often talk to swim in the same pool of information as we do. We depend on acquaintances whom we see infrequently to
bring us news of opportunities.
This was the idea behind the Pixar building, the design of which was overseen by Steve Jobs. The building has a large central hall through which employees from different departments have to pass several times a day. Jobs wanted colleagues to bump into each other and shoot the breeze(闲聊). He believed in the power of these
seemingly random conversations to fire up creativity.
Encounters with weak ties can be good for our mental well-being, too. Gillian Sandstrom, a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex, investigated the extent to which people get happiness from weak-tie relationships. She found that on days when a person had a greater number of casual interactions with weak ties-say, a local barista( 咖啡师), a neighbour, a member of yoga class-they experienced more happiness and a
greater sense of belonging.
For these reasons, we should continue to find ways to cultivate weak-tie relationships, during lockdown and
beyond. Sandstrom adds that we can also engage in more weak-tie-style interactions with our strong ties. The goal
is to let others know that you are thinking of them without asking for a great deal of time, energy or attention.
8 .What can we learn about the author from the article
A .She has been a singer from an early age.
B .She finds her Mondays quite difficult.
C .She barely knows most of her fellow choir members.
D .She has trouble maintaining friendships during lockdown.
9 .According to Mark Granovetter, it’s less likely for you to get new ideas from your strong ties mainly because
you tend to .
A .have the same concerns B .avoid conflicts of interests
C .see each other too frequently D .be exposed to similar facts and ideas
10 .According to the article, building networks of weak-tie relationships can NOT .
A .make you feel connected B .improve your social skills
C .put you in a cheerful mood D .provide you with inspiration
11 .According to the article, which of the following statements is true
A .It’s important to regularly interact with all of our friends.
B .It’s difficult to achieve a balance between strong- and weak-tie friendships.
C .It’s unnecessary to spend a lot of time strengthening friendship with our strong ties.
D .It’s a pity that people have had to shrink their social networks during lockdown.
D
All the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who
have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagemess and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience,compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as
you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. Books influence each other, they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families or ideas, and in the long run,
you not only find out about the world and the people in it but also you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you “you ought” to read, you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax yourself with it, you will almost certainly have a good time and if
you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the
process.
12 .What is reading in the writer’s opinion
A .Reading is a process of listening to the author.
B .Reading is a process of accepting the author’s ideas.
C .Reading is a process of communicating with the author and yourself.
D .Reading is a process of judging the author’s work.
13 .What kind of people are the most unfortunate in the writer’s eyes
A .Those who don’t have any books. B .Those who can’t enjoy reading books.
C .Those who don’t like books. D .Those who read too many books.
14 .What kind of books should you read in order to find pleasure in reading
A .Books written by famous writers. B .Books written in humor style.
C .Books which you like to read. D .Books recommended by your friends.
15 .What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A .To show the importance of reading.
B .To tell us how to make reading more effective.
C .To tell us how to read.
D .To show the pleasure of reading.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to stay focused in class
Being relaxed during class is a bad habit, and it is also bad to your grade. Focusing in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself, which will be
very important.
16 . No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best to avoid
them. Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class. This will get you into trouble.
Look at teacher and make eye contact. Your teacher is not just standing up there talking. 17 .Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye. This person should have your full
attention at all times during class.
Take notes. By taking notes, you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson. Write down key points as your teacher speaks. And listen to the key phrases such as “This is important” “This is the main idea” “This will be the test”
etc. 18 .
Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student.
When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it. 19 .These show the teacher that you are listening
carefully during the class.
Ask a question. 20 .This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and can recognize the
things you are having difficulty with. Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question (and was
too afraid to ask!). They’ll be relieved, and so will you.
A .Avoid sitting with friends.
B .This can help you listen more attentively.
C .If he or she ask for an opinion, share your own.
D .He or she is trying to give you a good education.
E .Talking with friends will make you lose interest in class.
F .If you don’t understand something, never be afraid to ask.
G .The more quickly you answer, the more attention you pay.

“Do you forget to bring your homework to school ” my sixth-grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But when I
headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag. Now my homework is still lying on the desk at home.
“You will have a get a zero then,” math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the
end of the term If so, what should I do
My next class was a gym class. During that gym class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to my gym teacher, Ms. Brown’s

was near the end of the gym class, she walked to me.

This will get you into trouble.(无论你多么想在课堂上和你的朋友坐在一起,尽量避免他们。和身边的朋友聊天不会 让你在课堂上集中注意力。这会给你带来麻烦的)”可知,本段主要讲课堂上尽量不要与朋友坐在一起,因

动回答。如果他或她想知道大家的观点,要敢于分享自己的想法,故 C 选项“如果他或她征求你的意见,
分享你自己的”符合语境,故选 C。

47 . She sat down to comfort me. “Are you okay ” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown
said to me, “We all make mistakes.” She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world didn’t end because I got a zero in a
math class and encouraged me to study hard.
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher’s
lectures. After reaching home after school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to
remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we
learn from mistakes, we’re making progress.
