13、n I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. Ive lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldnt let that
14、 happen. Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a res
15、taurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down. Mr. Clark was selected as Disneys 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names,
16、 Mr. Clark said, “Youre all going.” On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didnt want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 200
17、3, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit the orphanages (孤儿院 ). It was the most amazing experience of my life.

21、od teacher has a good influence on his or her students 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D Imagine youre at a party full of strangers. Youre nervous. Who are these people How do you start a conversation Fortunately, youve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyones name
22、 tag (标签 ). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple. This hasnt quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology. An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product
23、, under your pets skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately. Such a tag carries information sp
24、ecific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patients medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or
25、in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm. Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. Th
26、e concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler. RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr. J.
27、Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanie
28、d by how many biscuits. When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Heres a wild guess: Not for buying milk. 【小题 1】 The article is intended to . A warn people of t

32、s as buying milk B will be widely used, including for buying milk C will be limited to communication uses D will probably be used for pop music 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 B The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike
33、the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason
34、you get a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph. D.) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology. Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. Th
35、e history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy. Of what use is philosophy First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a
36、discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field. There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens ones ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize i
37、deas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining ones first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership
38、 later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting ones first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of w
39、isdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict. 【小题 1】 According to paragraph 1, philosophy can best be described as the study of . A social sciences B natural sciences C both social and natural sciences D the subject matter of politics 【小题 2】 What does “discipline” mean in the first para
40、graph A subject B science C literature D occupation 【小题 3】 With the study of philosophy, you can . A become a great leader Bsucceedineverything C find a good job soon after graduation D make progress in your career development 【小题 4】 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRU
41、E A Philosophy is an independent discipline. B Logic helps you to become a better thinker. C The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits. D The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define. 【小题 5】 From the passage, we can conclude . A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophy B. a
42、 person will get a Ph. D. if he/she studies philosophy C. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects D. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 C If you look for a book as a present for a child.

43、oiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Patten J.K Powlings wizard. The past decade has been a harvest for good childrens books, which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The lard of the Rings. Yet despite that , reading is increasingly
44、 unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997 23% said they didnt like reading in all. In 2003, 35% did . And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly. Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom
45、has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most. Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds,
46、 who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation either this year reported that children on the school made 20 months progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months progress, and so en
47、ded the year even further below the level expected for their age. International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read text often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are been on reading can report lifelon
48、g pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success.

49、ldrens books have been published. C The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films. D The sales of presents for children have increased. 【小题 2】 Statistics suggested that .
