Frm cttages surrunded by impressive gardens t days spent explring sandy beaches and deep wds filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell prvided a vivid accunt f his family’s time n the Greek island f Crfu in the 1930s.
Cme fr the arresting descriptins f Crfu landscapes and stay fr Durrell’s laugh-ut-lud tales f his unusual family. This bk, Durrell wrte humrusly in the intrductin, “was intended t be a nstalgic(怀旧的)accunt f natural histry, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake f intrducing my family.”
Durrell, later knwn fr his z keeping and the preservatin f wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Crfu. He is 10-year-ld Gerry in the bk—curius, passinate abut animals and a detailed stryteller f his strange family: his imaginative elder brther Larry with his literary ambitins, lvestruck sister Marg, sprty brther Leslie and his ever-calm, lving mther.
Durrell’s attentin t detail is what makes the bk s winning, with every sight, sund and smell f the island brught t life. One minute yu’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk dwn t the daffdil-yellw cttage, the next yu’ll be catching yur breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Inian Sea: “Lying n my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, nly mving my hands and feet slightly, I was lking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf acrss the sky and wndering hw many stars it cntained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult t classify, being ne part travel, ne part autbigraphy, ne part natural histry, and ne part cmedy, with a thread f descriptive language running thrughut that smetimes raises it nearly t petry.
As a real delight t read, it’s the perfect literary escapism fr any adult r lder teenager wh is currently walking dwn a tugh rad in life.
4. Which wrd best describes Durrell’s life in Crfu?
A. Diverse.B. Busy.C. Risky.D. Tugh.
5. What des the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. I just intrduced my family by mistake.B. I shuldn’t have intrduced my family.
C. I gave false infrmatin abut my family.D. I culdn’t help intrducing my family.
6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly abut?
A. Durrell’s rich imaginatin.B. Sme interesting plts f the bk.
C. The bk’s writing feature.D. Sme vivid descriptins f the island.
7. What is the purpse f this text?
A T share an experience.B. T intrduce a writing style.
C. T recmmend a bk.D. T describe an unusual place.

When put t tests, bees have lng prved that they’ve gt a lt mre t ffer than pllinating (授粉), making hney and being faithful t a queen. The hard-wrking insects can change their behavir when things seem difficult, and nw sme scientists find there is evidence that they als like t play.
Scientists frm Queen Mary University f Lndn perfrmed an experiment, in which they set up a cntainer that allwed bees t travel frm their nest t a feeding area. But alng the way, the bees culd chse t pass thrugh an area with sme small wden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went ut f their way t rll wden balls repeatedly, despite n apparent incentive (刺激) t d s.” Earlier studies have shwn that the black and yellw bugs are willing t learn new tricks in exchange fr fd r ther rewards. In this case, t remve the uter factrs, scientists made sure the bees had adapted t their new hme and that their envirnment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects als play with bjects fr fun. Als similar t peple, yunger bees seem t be mre playful than adult bees. “This research prvides strng evidence that insect minds are far mre cmplex (复杂的) than we imagine. There are lts f animals wh play just fr the purpse f enjyment, but mst examples cme frm yung mammals (哺乳动物) and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a prfessr f sensry and behaviral eclgy at Queen Mary University f Lndn, wh led the study.
The study’s first authr, Samadi Galpay, wh is a PhD student at Queen Mary University f Lndn, ntes that it is mre evident that bees may be able t experience feelings. “They may actually experience sme kind f psitive emtinal states, even if basic, like ther larger animals d. This finding has effects n ur understanding f the sense and happiness f insects, which, therefre, encurages us t respect and prtect wildlife n Earth ever mre,” she says.
8. What is the new finding abut bees?
A. They are skilled at rlling balls.B. They are faithful t the queen.
C. They are adaptable t changes.D. They are fnd f having fun.
9. Hw did scientists remve uter influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks.B. By making bees feel at hme.
C. By rewarding bees with fd.D. By building new hmes fr bees.
10. What are Lars Chittka’s wrds mainly abut?
A. The frms f bees’ play.B. The purpse f mammals’ enjyment.
C. The examples f mammals’ play.D. The cmplexity f bees’ minds.
11. What des Samadi Galpay say abut the study result?
A. It cntributes t wildlife prtectin n Earth.
B. It shws reasns fr bees’ psitive feelings.
C. It drives research n animals’ emtinal state.
D. Itsupprts previus understanding f insects.

“Yu’re s smart!” This encuraging respnse t children’s math perfrmance is cmmnly heard. Recently, a new study, cnducted by the University f Gergia, fund that encuraging children with respnses related t their persnal characteristics r inbrn abilities might weaken their math achievement ver time.
Parents wh make cmments cnnecting their children’s perfrmance with persnal qualities like IQ are using what’s referred t as persn respnses. In cntrast, parents wh cnnect their children’s actins, such as effrts r strategy use, t their perfrmance are using prcess respnses.
Fr the study, researchers asked mre than 500 parents t reprt n hw they respnded t their children’s math perfrmance and their math beliefs and gals. Children were divided int tw grups acrss a year t measure their math achievement.
The results shw that parents wh view math ability as changeable are mre likely t give prcess respnses fcused n their children’s strategy use and effrts rather than their IQ r ther persnal qualities. In cntrast, parents wh believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be cnstructive give mre persn respnses. Parents with high expectatins fr their children give bth respnses. While respnses fcused n strategy and effrts are nt related t any achievement results, children wh receive mre respnses abut their persnal qualities — especially, related t failure — are mre likely t avid harder math prblems, shw higher levels f math anxiety, and scre lwer n math achievement tests.
Because persn respnses mean pr math change in children ver time, researchers suggest parents limit this type f respnses at hme. Anther recmmendatin fr parents is t think abut their wn beliefs and gals fr their kids and examine hw these might lead them t respnd in persn r prcess ways. Simply telling parents t avid talking abut math ability may nt be enugh. Fcusing less n hw children perfrm and mre n their strategy and enjyment f math might be a mre effective way t encurage children.
12. Which f the fllwing is an example f prcess respnse?
A. What wrks well fr yur study?B. Running is in yur DNA.
C. Yu are a lucky dg.D. Why are yu such a math talent?
13. What can be learned frm the study results?
A. Parents prefer t give mre prcess respnses.
B. Persn respnses can discurage children frm learning math.
C. Prcess respnses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Children are mre likely t be affected by math anxiety.
14. What d researchers advise parents t d?
A. Ignre children’s math prblems.B. Prtect their wn beliefs.
C. Stress children’s perfrmance.D. Limit persn respnses.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Strategy Children Use t Learn Math Helps
B. Respnses t imprve Children’s Math Perfrmance
C. The Way Parents Talk t Children n Math Matters
D. Suggestins fr Parents t Teach Their Children Math

Frm cttages surrunded by impressive gardens t days spent explring sandy beaches and deep wds filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell prvided a vivid accunt f his family’s time n the Greek island f Crfu in the 1930s.
Cme fr the arresting descriptins f Crfu landscapes and stay fr Durrell’s laugh-ut-lud tales f his unusual family. This bk, Durrell wrte humrusly in the intrductin, “was intended t be a nstalgic(怀旧的)accunt f natural histry, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake f intrducing my family.”
Durrell, later knwn fr his z keeping and the preservatin f wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Crfu. He is 10-year-ld Gerry in the bk—curius, passinate abut animals and a detailed stryteller f his strange family: his imaginative elder brther Larry with his literary ambitins, lvestruck sister Marg, sprty brther Leslie and his ever-calm, lving mther.
Durrell’s attentin t detail is what makes the bk s winning, with every sight, sund and smell f the island brught t life. One minute yu’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk dwn t the daffdil-yellw cttage, the next yu’ll be catching yur breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Inian Sea: “Lying n my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, nly mving my hands and feet slightly, I was lking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf acrss the sky and wndering hw many stars it cntained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult t classify, being ne part travel, ne part autbigraphy, ne part natural histry, and ne part cmedy, with a thread f descriptive language running thrughut that smetimes raises it nearly t petry.
As a real delight t read, it’s the perfect literary escapism fr any adult r lder teenager wh is currently walking dwn a tugh rad in life.
4. Which wrd best describes Durrell’s life in Crfu?
A. Diverse.B. Busy.C. Risky.D. Tugh.

C. I gave false infrmatin abut my family.D. I culdn’t help intrducing my family.
6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly abut?
A. Durrell’s rich imaginatin.B. Sme interesting plts f the bk.
C. The bk’s writing feature.D. Sme vivid descriptins f the island.
7. What is the purpse f this text?

When put t tests, bees have lng prved that they’ve gt a lt mre t ffer than pllinating (授粉), making hney and being faithful t a queen. The hard-wrking insects can change their behavir when things seem difficult, and nw sme scientists find there is evidence that they als like t play.
Scientists frm Queen Mary University f Lndn perfrmed an experiment, in which they set up a cntainer that allwed bees t travel frm their nest t a feeding area. But alng the way, the bees culd chse t pass thrugh an area with sme small wden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went ut f their way t rll wden balls repeatedly, despite n apparent incentive (刺激) t d s.” Earlier studies have shwn that the black and yellw bugs are willing t learn new tricks in exchange fr fd r ther rewards. In this case, t remve the uter factrs, scientists made sure the bees had adapted t their new hme and that their envirnment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects als play with bjects fr fun. Als similar t peple, yunger bees seem t be mre playful than adult bees. “This research prvides strng evidence that insect minds are far mre cmplex (复杂的) than we imagine. There are lts f animals wh play just fr the purpse f enjyment, but mst examples cme frm yung mammals (哺乳动物) and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a prfessr f sensry and behaviral eclgy at Queen Mary University f Lndn, wh led the study.
The study’s first authr, Samadi Galpay, wh is a PhD student at Queen Mary University f Lndn, ntes that it is mre evident that bees may be able t experience feelings. “They may actually experience sme kind f psitive emtinal states, even if basic, like ther larger animals d. This finding has effects n ur understanding f the sense and happiness f insects, which, therefre, encurages us t respect and prtect wildlife n Earth ever mre,” she says.
8. What is the new finding abut bees?
A. They are skilled at rlling balls.B. They are faithful t the queen.
C. They are adaptable t changes.D. They are fnd f having fun.
9. Hw did scientists remve uter influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks.B. By making bees feel at hme.
C. By rewarding bees with fd.D. By building new hmes fr bees.
10. What are Lars Chittka’s wrds mainly abut?
A. The frms f bees’ play.B. The purpse f mammals’ enjyment.
C. The examples f mammals’ play.D. The cmplexity f bees’ minds.
11. What des Samadi Galpay say abut the study result?
A. It cntributes t wildlife prtectin n Earth.
B. It shws reasns fr bees’ psitive feelings.
C. It drives research n animals’ emtinal state.

“Yu’re s smart!” This encuraging respnse t children’s math perfrmance is cmmnly heard. Recently, a new study, cnducted by the University f Gergia, fund that encuraging children with respnses related t their persnal characteristics r inbrn abilities might weaken their math achievement ver time.
Parents wh make cmments cnnecting their children’s perfrmance with persnal qualities like IQ are using what’s referred t as persn respnses. In cntrast, parents wh cnnect their children’s actins, such as effrts r strategy use, t their perfrmance are using prcess respnses.
Fr the study, researchers asked mre than 500 parents t reprt n hw they respnded t their children’s math perfrmance and their math beliefs and gals. Children were divided int tw grups acrss a year t measure their math achievement.
The results shw that parents wh view math ability as changeable are mre likely t give prcess respnses fcused n their children’s strategy use and effrts rather than their IQ r ther persnal qualities. In cntrast, parents wh believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be cnstructive give mre persn respnses. Parents with high expectatins fr their children give bth respnses. While respnses fcused n strategy and effrts are nt related t any achievement results, children wh receive mre respnses abut their persnal qualities — especially, related t failure — are mre likely t avid harder math prblems, shw higher levels f math anxiety, and scre lwer n math achievement tests.
Because persn respnses mean pr math change in children ver time, researchers suggest parents limit this type f respnses at hme. Anther recmmendatin fr parents is t think abut their wn beliefs and gals fr their kids and examine hw these might lead them t respnd in persn r prcess ways. Simply telling parents t avid talking abut math ability may nt be enugh. Fcusing less n hw children perfrm and mre n their strategy and enjyment f math might be a mre effective way t encurage children.
12. Which f the fllwing is an example f prcess respnse?
A. What wrks well fr yur study?B. Running is in yur DNA.
C. Yu are a lucky dg.D. Why are yu such a math talent?
13. What can be learned frm the study results?
A. Parents prefer t give mre prcess respnses.
B. Persn respnses can discurage children frm learning math.
C. Prcess respnses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Children are mre likely t be affected by math anxiety.
14. What d researchers advise parents t d?
A. Ignre children’s math prblems.B. Prtect their wn beliefs.
C. Stress children’s perfrmance.D. Limit persn respnses.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Strategy Children Use t Learn Math Helps
B. Respnses t imprve Children’s Math Perfrmance
