Recently, an unhappy event has happened in a kindergarten in Chongqing. Most primary schools suggest that parents should come along with their children to school and guard the school gates from 7:40 to 8:00 in the morning. Opinions on this problem are different from person to person.
Sun Zhenyao, 13, Jiangbei
Safety comes first. I don’t think it’s a big problem for parents. They just have to stay at the school gate for a little longer. Also, it’s very crowded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents can happen. Depending only on school guards is not enough. If parents can help, there will be fewer accidents.
Li Minyi, 14, Yubei
On weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ responsibility — not the parents’. Also, the time during which they have to stand guard is usually about 7:40 to 8:00 am, the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and be late for their work. I don’t think this task should fall on the parents.
Sun Run, 14, Beibei
This request is not just about children’s safety, but also supporting the school. It is a good way to improve relations between parents and schools. Secondly, parents can set a good example for their kids by working selflessly for their society.
Huang Xi, 15, Jiulongpo
Most of these parents are office workers. They have their own things to do. They hurry to go to work every morning. To meet this new request, some may have to ask for time off. This will affect their work performance.

A. Li Minyi, Sun Run B. Huang Xi, Sun Zhenyao
C. Huang Xi, Li Minyi D. Sun Zhenyao, Sun Run

Australian magpies(喜鹊) are common in Australia, loved and feared in equal measure. The fear arises from the fact that nesting females aggressively dive at animals — including, or perhaps especially, humans — often drawing blood. The love comes from the fact that they are simply everywhere, easy to identify, and possessed of a song that has come to represent the sound of nature.
And also, they seem rather clever. Now, research by zoologists at the University of Western Australia has corroborated this — but their levels of intelligence are dependent on the size of the group they belong to.
To reach this conclusion, the Australian scientists examined 56 birds from 14 groups of wild magpies living in the suburbs of Western Australia’s capital city, Perth. The groups ranged between 3 and 12 individuals. Each magpie — tested separately to avoid the risk of it getting help from its mates — was put through four tasks that taxed its cognitive(认知的) abilities. These included finding food hidden in a transparent container, finding food hidden in differently coloured containers, and a memory test involving finding hidden food. Adult and young birds were tested repeatedly and the results were clear. The birds that lived in large groups were quicker to master the tasks than those that lived in smaller ones. The difference between intelligent big group members and less intelligent little group members appeared very early in birds’ lives.
In a paper published in the journal Nature, lead author Benjamin Ashton and his colleagues report that birds living in large groups “show increased cognitive performance”. Moreover, this “general intelligence factor” is strongly linked to reproductive(生殖的) success in females.
Ashton suggests that the findings indicate the evolution of intelligence is influenced by pressures present in complex social groups. “Our results suggest that the social environment plays a key role in the development of cognition,” he says.
4.Which word best describes Australians’ feelings about Australian magpies
A.Frightened. B.Loving. C.Mixed. D.Tolerant.
5.What does the underlined word “corroborated” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Assessed. B.Confirmed. C.Disapproved. D.Doubted.
6.How were the magpies treated in the research
A.They were allowed to seek help. B.They were put in containers.
C.They were divided into some groups. D.They were studied individually.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Magpies Seem to Be More Social Birds
B.Magpies in Small Groups Often Perform Better
C.Large-group Living Increases Magpies’ Intelligence
D.Cognitive Levels Affect Magpies’ Reproductive Success

There was a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain’s favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britain’s favourite drink.
To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement (轻描淡写). From the Royal (皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!
The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.
In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the workplace, tea was served for the nobility (贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafés and “tea gardens”.
It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four o’clock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.
As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”.
Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break” is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea” has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.
8. Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England
A. Thomas Garway. B. The Royal Family.
C. The Earl of Sandwich. D. The Duchess of Bedford.
9. What does the underlined word “institution” mean in paragraph 4
A. drink B. workplace
C. tradition D. order
10. What can we learn from the text
A. The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.
B. Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in “tea gardens” at their workplace.
C. “High tea” was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.
D. The “afternoon tea” together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. The Popularity of Tea B. Tea and the British
C. Tea and the Middle Class D. The History of Tea

The secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time between childhood and full adulthood, that’s around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges
William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at the University of California, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals, “Izzy” and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4,329 dream reports from between the ages 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25.
Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, precision, and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However, it can only lead so far.
To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets. For Izzy these word strings included “family and relatives” , “celebrities” and “fantasy” , while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places” , “electrical equipment” and “music” . The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.
“The frequencies of dream elements reveal the intensity of the dreamer’s personal concern with that element in waking thought, ” Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.
12.What do psychologists agree with about dreams
A.Dreams are influenced by life experiences.
B.Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.
C.Dreams in one’s teens and twenties are most intense.
D.The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.
13.What does “it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to
A.The collection of dreams. B.Research into dreaming.
C.The digital method. D.The challenge for psychologists.
14.How do the researchers conduct their study
A.By analyzing large data sets. B.By developing individualized word strings.
C.By identifying the patterns of dreaming. D.By making comparison with traditional research.
15.Which can be the best title for the text
A.New tech, new finding B.Dreams: reflections of waking reality
C.Lives, languages, dreams D.Life experiences: elements of mental world
