26、   Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere---the crazier, the better.

1. Bibimbap Festival

In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.

Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.

2. Waikiki Spam Jam

Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.

3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival

At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.

Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) - 15,000 eggs strong - for the townsfolk (市民).

4. Potato Days Festival

This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota, the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.

27、   During a job interview, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you before a word has even been spoken. The interviewers will not only pay attention to what you say during the interview, but also to how you say it!【1】

【2】 Body language shows your serious attitude toward that interview. Then after the introduction you will usually be directed to take a seat. Choose a place from where you can clearly see all the interviewers.

During a job interview, try to keep a posture (姿势) that shows you are interested and relaxed. Sit up straight in your chair. What to do with your hands? 【3】 From these positions it’s also easy to support your words with hand gestures.

Then it is important to look at all the interviewers. When one of them explains something or asks a question, keep looking at this person. 【4】 When answering, you should look first at the person who asked the question and take turns to look at other interviewers as well.

All in all, body language will decide first if it “clicks”, and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds. Everybody uses body language, but it takes place mostly at a subconscious (潜意识的) level. 【5】

A.Being more aware of your body language can increase your chances of getting the job.

B.This shows that you are listening.

C.Always wear a smile from the beginning of the interview.

D.It is better to put them on your lap or on the armrests of your chair.

E.It is important to look directly into the eyes of interviewers.

F.Here are some advice on your body language during a job interview.

G.Remember to arrive in time for a job interview.

28、Great friendships made over time

What kind of relationship do you think will provide you with more life satisfaction, better health and complete happiness? 【1】  A familial (家庭的) one? Surprisingly, the answer is friendship.

However, it’s not possible to have true friends without first making regular friends. Have you ever thought about how long it takes to turn an acquaintance (认识的人) into a true friend? 【2】 According to lead study author Jeffrey Hall, we need to spend at least 80 hours with another person to create a true friendship with them.

【3】 One group consisted of 429 adults who had recently relocated (搬家), while the other was made up of 112 freshmen from the University of Kansas. The results showed that the more time each person spent together, the faster friendship formed in both groups. But it seemed that Hall wasn’t satisfied with the result. 【4】 According to the survey, “casual” friends are generally formed after spending about 30 hours together. And people will go from casual friends to regular friends after another 50 hours. However, it takes a lot longer to get really close to someone: A “close” friendship takes about 140 hours to create and “best friends” need about 300 hours.

But spending time together isn’t the only factor (元素) when it comes to making friends. “It’s not so important to just be in the company of someone… 【5】,”  Since time is precious, Hall suggested taking advantage of our school years by making as many friends as we can.

A.Watch a movie together ?

B.It matters how you spend the time.

C.Hall surveyed two groups as they began new chapters in their lives.

D.A romantic relationship?

E.You can engage (参与) in friendly competition by playing video games.

F.A new study published recently might have the answer to that question.

G.He wanted to find out exactly how many hours it takes to form a friendship.

29、Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching elementary-age students “soft” skills like self-control and how to get along with others might help to keep at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future.

Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than 7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪), arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.

In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.

The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(情绪的) intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision.

Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in delinquency.

【1】Fast Track was intended for children who .

A．were randomly chosen from their schools

B．had some problems with academic learning

C．often went against their teachers and parents’ wishes

D．were considered to have criminal trouble in the future

【2】What can be learned about "the intervention" in Paragraph 2?

A．It included all the students.

B．It focused on social skills.

C．It improved health services.

D．It had positive outcomes.

【3】Compared with soft skills, hard skills .

A．almost have no influence on students

B．are more affected by students’ emotion

C．are mainly related to academic learning

D．offer children greater self-control abilities

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Soft Social Skills Matter

B．Fast Track Helps Children

C．How to Prevent Delinquency

D．What to DO for Education

30、In high school I had a math teacher, Mrs. Davies, who took her job seriously and expected her students to put forth the same degree of commitment. Strict but fair, she held our attention with her time-proven approach. One of her _________ was for students who were more advanced academically. I chose to _________ it and soon realized that the course was a bit over my head. I _________ with the complex problems that others seemed to learn without much effort.

One Friday we were tested _________ our ability to use a theorem(定理) that no one in the class thoroughly understood. The teacher would _________ our papers based on our ability to progress through the problem which easily filled two pages of formulaic notations(公式符号). I was absolutely lost. Finally, I didn’t use the required theorem. Instead, I decided to use more familiar theorems to arrive at an _________. I knew I had failed because I hadn’t done the _________ assignment. I became resigned to my fate.

Our test papers were handed back the following Monday. Everyone received a   “C” except for me. To my surprise, I received an “A”. I _________ that there must be a mistake. I watched _________ as the teacher approached my desk, smiled, and asked for my test paper back. She then went back to copy my work onto the blackboard, __________ the class how I had arrived at the correct answer. “Mathematics is meant to be a creative tool, pushing our minds to a rewarding answer, ” she said with confidence. __________ I didn't use the required theorem, she seemed genuinely proud of how I'd worked through the problem. The class saw her fold my test paper and put it into her textbook. She announced that it would be __________ with future classes.

My teacher would have been justified in giving me a __________ grade. Instead, she used the __________ to deeply influence a student who often struggled. And after forty years, I still cherish the memory. It helped change my self-image. I __________ up to a broad boundary of possibilities which has made my life an adventure. She understood that teaching went beyond strict demands and could be used to inspire. Thank you, Mrs. Davies.

31、课文内容填空

Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
