B(2017汕头市濠江区模拟)
William Blake des ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cribed the eyes as the “windows of the soul”. Our eyes are the windows through which we see the world around us. Either way，there's no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight. Surveys have shown that of the five senses，sight is the one that people fear losing the most.
Thinking about the imp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ortant function of our eyes，we should give them the best care possibly, but sometimes we get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.
Protecting yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur eyes starts with the food on your plate. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well，she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and healthy.
Give up your ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to protect your eyes from Ultraviolet ray(紫外线). Rest your eyes every 20 minutes from the computer screen by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15 minute break when working at a computer.
Make sure your eyes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) do not get injured in the first place. You should try to prevent eye injuries whether you're playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear safety glasses and what kinds will work best for you.
Last but not least, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) get your eyes examined regularly. Eye exams can help find some eye diseases. It's important to find these diseases early on, when they're easier to treat.
(　　)6. According to a survey, people fear losing______ most.
A．their sights B. their hearings
C. their smells D. their tastes
(　　)7. The underlined word “function” might mean “______” in Chinese.

B(2017扬州改编)
Parents of very young ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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 t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he 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 in 2017 Profe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssor Craig E．Smith published a study.He and his workmates chose 48 children 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 answe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood. More of the four to five year olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping 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 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 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.
(　　)6.What does the underlined word“denial”in Paragraph 1 mean
A．委屈 B．责备
C．否认 D．拒绝
(　　)7.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us______.
A．kids can't tell“right”from“wrong”
B．it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth
C．it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truth
D．all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act
(　　)8.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study
A．Older kids are m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.
B．Younger children ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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.
D．The seven to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) nine year olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.
(　　)9.Accordi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies
A．Parents should at once punish the children who lied.
B．Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.
C．Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions.
D．Parents should show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) positive feelings about their children's confessions.
(　　)10. What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Children often like making mistakes when they are young.
B．A research about 48 children between four and nine years of age.
C．Reward the honesty e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ven if you feel you must punish the wrong action.
D．How the parents trea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t their children when their children make mistakes.

Two years ago I g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )raduated from university and went back to work as a bank clerk in my hometown.

We do not have a garden, but there is a small balcony outside the living room, a place for us to plant flowers and hang up our wet clothes. There are some plants on the balcony. In summer we can sit on the balcony to feel the cool wind because it gets hot inside the apartment.

I've been working ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in a school for more than twenty years. Many parents often ask me, “How can you teach your child good study skills How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible？” Here are some tips: 21·世纪*教育网
1. If the child is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as young as nine or ten years old, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers. By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much more responsible (负责的).
2. Find a good place ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to study. This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study things. No games, radios, or televisions. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework and studies. There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done. Usually, homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from school. This also goes for the kids who take part in after school activities. Of course, it is a good idea to allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins.
3. Also remember th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at it is the child's duty to do his or her homework. Some children give up easily and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem. Try to let them solve it first. By doing this, they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems. In this way we help them to help themselves.
(　　)6. Asking the kids ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to keep a notebook to remember their homework will make them ______.
A．remember more B. learn more
C. more responsible D. more interested in studying

Who are better at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )science in your class, girls or boys These years, girls start to show more interest in the subjects of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), according to a recent study from the UK.
In the study, every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )year over the last seven years, over 20,000 students who were in their final year in high school were surveyed. As for university courses, the number of girls considering choosing STEM subjects has a bigger increase than that of boys. Over one fifth of the girls surveyed said they were considering jobs related to STEM, such as engineers. And the interest in engineering and science has also risen.
This is an import ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ant change for women in the UK. But at present, there are not nearly as many women as men studying STEM subjects or working in the fields related to STEM. Only 13%～22% of people who graduate from university with STEM degrees are women. And women are seen only one in eight STEM jobs.
Are men really mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re suited to STEM work than women Of course not. This is partly because of the stereotype,_which means many people think so, even though it is not correct.
“It is importa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt that young women should be encouraged to get into these jobs. In fact, STEM subjects are fun and exciting. Studying science can do us good. It offers women chances of taking up fantastic careers and they will get higher pay in these areas，” said Niki Yates, manager of GSK's business.

An Activity for Reading
This activit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y is developed(开发) by reading experts for you to use with children. Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are succeeding!
We wish you s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pend wonderful hours of reading with children! This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program “Readers” to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.

▲Listen carefully ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage them to practice reading. Besides, this is another way to enjoy reading together.
▲If your child has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways：
●Ask the child t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.

Happiness is for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country road in their free time.
In fact, happ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

In Britain, Boxing Day ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is usually celebrated on December 26th，which is the following day after Christmas Day.However，strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday.This means it's a non working day in the whole of Britain.When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday，the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(起源)of the holiday is unclear.One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages，when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land，a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父)on each ship.Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about the“Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day.Worshippers (做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it.These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas，that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today，many busin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating(捐赠)their time，services and money to aid Food Banks，providing gifts for the poor，or helping families in need.Besides，spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.

Many health produc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts advertised on TV say they can improve your memory. But only ordinary food and healthy habits have been shown to work.
A research team from U ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )niversity of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) has made a four step plan to improve your memory in just 14 days. “It sounds like another advertisement, but it really works，” says Gary Small, a professor from UCLA. The team found the four step plan improved the memory of teenagers under stress (压力) and older people. Here's the program：
Memory training: Train ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) yourself with memory exercises throughout the day.
Healthy diet: Eat fiv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e rather than three meals a day but less food for each meal. The food should be rich in omega 3 fats, such as whole grains and vegetables with antioxidants (抗氧化剂).

Managing stress: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Express your feelings instead of bottling them up. Make time for fun and relaxation. Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies. It prevents you from thinking clearly and enjoying life.
After a two week ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )study that included memory exercise, physical training and diet changes, the memories of the people who're tested improved by about 5%.21教育网
“We've known for yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs that diet and exercise can help people keep their physical health. This is a key part of healthy aging，” said Gary Small. “But keeping mentally active is also important. Now we have proved that people can improve their memories through a program of memory exercises and managing stress.”

Every year thousands o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can't see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lessen (减少 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )) traffic accidents All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers，they shouldn't drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians, it's very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements(人行道). We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, and then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It's not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens (青少年) should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.
