Leisure time classes for kids can help bored children learn how to make something new. These
classes include building classes and craft classes that are full of fun.
Home Depot
Home Depot’s Kids Workshops happen on the first Saturday of every month. Past projects
have included model race cars, mail organizers, picture frames, and planters. Classes are free.
You’ll have to sign up for the workshops to make sure your child has a spot and that there are
enough building materials to go around. These sometimes fill up quickly, so early action is
necessary.
Pottery Barn Kids
Pottery Barn Kids hosts free classes for kids almost every weekend at stores along with free
weekly story time for kids of all ages. These classes often include a special craft, texts from
popular children’s books, and sometimes giveaways.
Michaels
Michaels craft stores host free classes for kids several times a month and sometimes even
have weeklong events before big holidays. The classes at Michaels include all kinds of craft
projects that usually center around a holiday or season. Most classes are great for dropping off the
kids while shopping.
Lego Stores
Each month, Lego stores have free events for kids, aged 6-14, to come in and build a mini
model. After they’ve built the mini model, they get to take it home for free. There is a limit of four

BI was five years old when my little brother, Mark, was born. On the photos, I appeared
so thrilled that he had finally arrived. I held and bathed him, smiling from cheek to cheek. I do not
remember that feeling now.
Being the first child in the family, I was the one my parents tested their new parenting
techniques on. I was their guinea pig. Mark was always the happy one, the joker, the one who won
because of my battles with my parents. After too many fights, I declared war on Mark. We were
now enemies. All I remember is being jealous of and angry with my innocent little brother.
Thus, I made his life a misery. I teased, tricked, embarrassed, and fought with him, often
leaving him in floods of tears.
Our little sister was born when I was 11 and instantly she and Mark could not be separated.
They pushed me aside. Was this because I was becoming a monster, or did I grow into an uglier
green-eyed monster because they loved each other so much?
Thankfully, Mark quickly grew tall and strong, and our conflict looked more like a cold war
than bloodshed. It all ended suddenly when I went to study abroad. The hatred(仇恨) disappeared
and love climbed in.
Despite all the abuse Mark suffered he has implied that he has forgiven me, or even that there
is nothing to forgive, although I have never brought up the subject in too much detail. I would like
to; however, it would be a selfish move to look for more forgiveness. But I prefer to remember the
hurt. During all those wasted years, I should have been the loving sister defending instead of
attacking.
4. The underlined word “thrilled” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _______.
A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Terrified. D. Disappointed.
5. Why did the writer consider her brother as her enemy? _______
A. She did so out of jealousy. B. She'd like to be a monster.
C. She didn't like her brother. D. She used to be ill-treated.
6. What can we infer about the writer from the passage? _______
A. Her parents’ preference for boys to girls made her hate her brother.
B. Separation helped her and her brother build up an affectionate relationship.
C. Her parents used her as an experimental subject for their parenting techniques.
D. Her conflict with her brother ended when she went to study abroad.
7. What does the writer really want to tell us in the passage? _______
A. She was looking for more forgiveness.
B. She was never forgiven by her brother.
C. She suffered much abuse from her brother.
D. She felt regretful for what she had done.
C
Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping. When
you get back, you have no idea where your car is. It can be discouraging.
You don't need to install (安装) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. That's
too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly subscription fee just to use it. But is there a way
to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based start-up
company was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device (装置)that works with your
smartphone, and it could be exactly what you're looking for! It's called TrackR Bravo. It's
changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you're
ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of
setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to your keys, wallet and anything else
you don't want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to find where your missing item are in seconds.
Forget expensive GPS systems or tracking services. Nobody wants to pay expensive monthly
subscription fees. We understand how stressful these things can be, and this is the reason why the
company created TrackR. This device is your VIP when you need to take care of important things.
If you forget where you park your car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR app.
Tap on the “lost item” sign on the screen and the app will tell you the exact location. This device
is by no means expensive. TrackR only costs $29, a small price to pay for peace of mind. The
device is small enough that you can attach it to your pets. Put it on their collar, and you will never
lose track of them! Attach it to your key or wallet, and never waste a minute rummaging the whole
house for it.
Since you've been informed about this brilliant invention, now attach it to everything that's
important to you.
8. Why does the author mention the lost car in the first Paragraph? _______
A .To explain how terrible the situation is
B .To stress the importance of being cautious.

9. What's the feature of the TrackR app? _______
A .The process of setting up the app is complex
B .The cost of setting up the app is rather high.

D
Facing increasing pressure to raise students’ scores on standardized tests, schools are urging
kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements. Happy Meals are at the low end of
the scale. With the help of businesses, schools are also giving away cars, iPods, seats to basketball
games and— in a growing number of cases—cold, hard cash. The appeal of such programs is
obvious, but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain. It’s been a common
tradition in middle-class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in
school leads to success in life. But for many disadvantaged minority children, the long-term
benefits of getting an education are not so clear, according to experts.
No one knows for sure how well cash and other big-ticket rewards work in education in the
long run. But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids. Virginia Shiller, a clinical psychologist, says that it’s worth experimenting with cash
encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal. “I’d rather see
rewards based on effort and responsibility—things that will lead to success in life,” she says.
Even if rewards don’t lead to individual achievement on a test, they could have a meaningful
effect in the school. Charles McVean, a businessman and philanthropist ( 慈 善 家 ), started a
tutoring program, which pays higher-achieving students $10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates
and divides them into teams. During the course of the year, students bond (团结)and compete.
The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of $100. McVean calls the
combination of peer tutoring, competition, and cash encouragements a recipe for “nothing less
than magic”.
For its part, the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its
report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year. The local McDonald’s
restaurants help the poor district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card. Regina
Klaers, the district spokeswoman, says most parents don’t seem bothered by the Happy Meals
rewards. “There are many ways we try to urge students to do well, and sometimes it’s through the
stomach, and sometimes it’s the probability of students winning a car,” she says, “One size
doesn’t fit all.”
12. According to the text, it is a common practice for schools to________.
A. offer free meals to students with high scores
B. tie students’ grades to material rewards
C. cooperate with business to improve teaching
D. educate students to form a business sense
13. According to the text, the long-term results of giving students cash as rewards in education
are_____.
A. negative B. optimistic C. disappointing D. uncertain
14. The tutoring program run by Charles McVean_______.
A. has a meaningful effect in inspiring students’ enthusiasm on study
B. hires some excellent teachers to teach the struggling students
C. is a program combining tutoring, competition and future job offers
D. rewards the student with the highest scores with cash prize of $100
15. We can learn that in Seminole County_____.
A. people are searching for a good-for-all method to urge students to do well
B. many parents are not satisfied with the Happy Meals rewards
C. the local McDonald’s restaurants provide the rewards for poor students
D. there are various ways to inspire students to study hard

Punctuation (标点) Is for Clarity
When you talk, you do not depend upon words alone to tell your listener what you mean.
___16___ You shrug a shoulder, raise an eyebrow, clasp hands, bend forward or backward, stamp
your foot, nod or shake your head. These body languages may vary from culture to culture but
they do help the speakers to convey meanings. ___17___ You yell or whisper; speak calmly or
angrily; lower or raise your voice at the end of a statement or a question. Meaning in talk is also
affected by pauses and silence, which are often as significant as words themselves. ___18___Similarly, when we write, we cannot expect words alone to make clear to our reader what we
have in mind. The pauses, stresses and gestures which occur in speech must be represented in
writing by various marks of punctuation if meaning is to be fully clear. ___19___
Punctuation came into existence only for the purpose of making clear the meaning of writing
words. Every mark of punctuation is a sort of road sign provided to help the reader along his
way.___20___ It is harmful or ineffective if it interrupts the flow of thought from your mind to
that of your readers.

at all.

you speak.

Dear Tom,
Congratulations on your being admitted to Oxford University!
I’ m grateful and honored to be invited to your celebration party to be held this

May your party be a great success and enjoy yourself that day!
Yours,
