Best All-Time Children's Books

Reading to your kids is one of the all-time best things you can do with them, and for them. I love reading to my kids, and they love reading with me. It is some of the best quality time ever, and sharing a good book with a child is just a wonderful feeling.

I've listed of my all-time favorite children’s books—a list that can start any chi ld’s library. It’s a starting point, to be sure-I’m sure you can think of many more to be included. But these are books I truly love (and my kids do too) and I think most kids and parents will love them. These are mostly time-tested classics, so there might not be too many surprises here, but sometimes it’s useful to be reminded of books we’ve forgotten about. Where the Wild Thing’s Are, by Maurice Sendak. I can never get enough of this book. It is truly awesome. Great drawings, great imagination. If I had to choose just 10 books on this list, this would be one of them.

Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam Mcbratney. I love you all the way to the moon and back! Fun to read this with your kids, and then later compete to see how much you love each other.

The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. If Seuss is the best, Silverstein is right behind him. If I had to list just 10 books here, this book would be one of them. Such a sweet, sad, true book, with great drawings of course.

Matilda, by Roald Dahl. Perhaps my favorite Dahl book. While reading this book, you want to have Matilda as a friend, and during the time you are with her, she is your friend.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl. A classic, of course, and yet another poor kid who inevitably enters your heart.

The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint—Exupery. Originally published in French, this classic is so unique, I cannot really describe it. If you haven’t read it to your child, please do.

Magic Tree House Series, by Mary Pope Osborne. A very long series (over 30 last time I counted) of fun, adventurous and educational books. It covers stuff kids love, like dinosaurs and ninjas and knights and wizards, and makes history come alive. My son is in love with this series.

1.The writer of this passage probably is .

A.a professor

B.a director

C.a lawyer

D.a parent

2.Which of these books have the same author?

A.Where the Wild Things Are and Guess How Much I Love You.

B.Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

C.Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Little Prince.

D.The Giving Tree and Matilda.

3.We can infer from the passage that the author .

A.is tired of reading The Giving Tree

B.speaks highly of Seuss, writer of The Giving Tree

C.there are some adventurous stories in Magic Tree House Series

D.The Little Prince was written in English when first published

4.The purpose of this passage is .

A.to introduce some time-tested children's books

B.to give some advice on how to select a children's book

C. to promote some children's books

D.to write a book review

B

How much empathy（共鸣）do you feel towards other people? If you saw someone fall off their bike in traffic, would you stop and help—or just walk away? Many people would give into coldness, go about their business and just do nothing. So it was a big surprise when about 100 by standers got together recently to move a bus in east London to help a cyclist trapped under it. A video of the incident went viral on social media.

According to Zoheb, a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue, about five people gathered to move the bus. He says: “ There was no chance we could do it, it was more an invitation for other people to help, really.”

The initiative（主动能力）paid off. Diners from nearby restaurants joined in. There wasn’t much coordination but it didn't take long to develop a collective understanding of what the objective was.

Spontaneous（自发的）cooperation among strangers doesn’t happen often. People in a crowd are not sure what to do—they don’t have a plan.It’s one of the reasons, bystanders often do nothing, according to Dr Mark Levine, professor of social psychology at Exeter University in Britain. “The presence of others can prevent you from helping”, he says.

“The key to positive group behavior,” Levine explains, “is building a sense of shared identity. Action has to be decided quickly.” Levine says.“The longer you leave it, the harder it is to make a decision. If you don’t immediately act then you think 'Well, actually I probably couldn’t have done any thing anyway'.”

But the people who took the initiative like Zobeb might make a difference. The cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of the collective effort might inspire others to more acts of unity.

5.Why did the author say it was a big surprise when the rescue was made?

A. Many by standers did no thing.

B.So many people gave a hand.

C.It spread on social media.

D.It didn't catch people's attention.

6.Which of the following best describes the driver Zoheb according to the text?

A.Kind-hearted.

B.Generous.

C.Optimistic.

D.Easy-going.

7.Why do people give in to coldness when they should be helping according to Levine?

A.They don't know how to give first aid.

B.Strangers seldom cooperate with each other.

C. Nobody wants to be the first to offer help.

D.They are forbidden from helping.

8.What can we learn from the text?

A.The sense of shared identity makes no difference.

B.It's not necessary to make a quick decision.

C.It's impossible for strangers to cooperate.

D.Collective effort is inspiring.

C

Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. It’s two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I take my seat to enjoy the film and reach into my box of popcorn, I’m often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone

or worse still, talking to someone.

It’s no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was 'the worst idea ever'! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that watching not multi-screening. And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted by the click- click on someone’s mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen-why aren’t they concentrating on the big screen?!

But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to- 34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.

However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear 'please cut off your left arm above the elbow.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I'm at, please don’t sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?

9.The underline word "irritated" in Paragraph 1 means .

A.terrified

B.depressed

C.annoyed

D.embarrassed

10.Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain's original advice?

A.The advice was carried out smoothly.

B.They stopped people using the phone.

C.The advice was very popular with people.

D.They permitted people to use the phone.

11.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.

B.The cinema needn't worry about their customers.

C.Young people use their social media frequently.

D.Sending messages is the best experience for young people.

D

I was a teacher for only ten years. In 1926, on my return to China after finishing studies in the United States, I began to teach at my alma mater Yenching University, Peiping, as a lecturer in Chinese. The teachers of the Department of Chinese then were mostly my former teachers.

The students and I were good friends. The freshmen were mostly young boys and girls aged between 17 and 20 in five classes, each consisting of 30 to 40 students coming from various places of China. Those from Fujian and Guangdong had difficulty in understanding the heavily accented speech of teachers who came from places south of the Yangtze River. Consequently, some of these students were transferred to my class through the arrangements of the school’s office. Looking down from the platform, I was delighted by a multitude of rosy-faced young students smiling and staring curiously at me. Their smiles were by no means unfamiliar to me, being similar to those I often saw on the faces of my younger brothers and younger female cousins.

I taught a course on advanced writing, which was an elective for students above the freshman level. It gave them a try in different kinds of literary writing, such as fiction, poetry, correspondence and sometimes translations. For the end-of-term examination, I had them each hand in a self-edited magazine specializing in any subjects, such as fine arts, sports, etc. and complete with well designed cover, aim of its publication and photos. Students of the same class could request contributions or photos from each other, or from students of other classes. They called it an interesting try. The magazines they handed in by the end of the term were very lively and encouraging, each having its content quite in line with its title.

In recalling my past career as a teacher, I always think fondly of the close friendship between the students and me. In those days, teachers and students all lived on campus. We often went boating on the Weiming Lake, or had discussions about various things on the marble boat by the island in the middle of the Lake, or had heart-to-heart private talks about, for instance, job selections or marriage. All that took place over half a century ago, and now, more than half of them have gone to another world before me. I feel very sorrow about it indeed. In my mind, teachers and students should be friends with mutual respect and love.

12.The underlined words "alma mater" in Paragraph 1 probably means .

A.the school where the writer studied before

B.the school that the writer dreamt of before

C.the school where the writer taught before

D.the school where the writer lived before

13.Why those students from Fujian and Guangdong were transferred to my class?

A.Because the writer was a new teacher.

B.Because they couldn't understand the heavily accented speech of their teachers.

C.Because the writer would like to make friends with the students.

D.Because they wanted to take the course that the writer taught.

14.How did the writer feel towards his students when they handed in their self-edited magazines?

A.disappointed

B.delighted

C.worried

D.unsatisfied

15.Which one should be the best title of the passage?

A.My Students

B.Men Learn While They Teach

C.An Unforgettable Memory

D.Joys of the Teaching Career

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

How to Sleep Better

If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will te ll you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.

1.Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. __16__For example, if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 pm, because that's when you start to feel sleepy, and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 am, you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until I am.

2.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.__17__Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.

3.__18__Exposu re to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can destroy your body's internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim（暗淡的）night light.__19__They include windows, LED clocks and computer lights.

4.Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.__20__

A.Make note of unusual circumstances.

B.Keep the room as dark as possible.

C.Try to avoid all sources of light.

D.Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.

E.In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your "biological clock".

F.If you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable position.

G.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.

Dear Peter,

I am more than glad to hear from you. In your last letter you asked me about my plans in the coming months and I'd like to tell you something about it.

As you know, the biggest event for us is College Entrance Examinations, for which all the senior students are sparing no efforts to make preparations. Thus, I must make good use of the rest valuable days to strengthen my ability to face it. So I hope I can try my best in the exams and be admitted to a key university. In addition, I am also eager to be healthy both physically and mentally. Therefore, doing regular reading and exercise is necessary for me in my spare time.

All in all, I firmly believe that I'll have a busy but meaningful life this year. What about you? Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li hua
