One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice,"My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and heinsists that I go with him. I have tried to explainover and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me, so I have no choice, I have to go. I have told the babysitter todrive her every morning. Will you please giveJanice special attention and help her? I want to besure everything goes well for her."

I told her that we would make every effort tosupport Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janiceat her car so she would see a familiar face. As amother myself, I'd like to help. Janice’s motherthanked me for our understanding.

27、A lecture hall should be like a church—a little too dark, much too cold, and uncomfortably silent. You should feel guilty (愧疚) opening your water bottle, because all 200 people in the room can hear it.

So when I’m trying to pay attention, the last thing you should be doing is carrying on a conversation about your last weekend party or anything else.

During the past school term, I’ve had enough. One of my biggest complaints of large class sizes is the tendency for three to five friends to sit together and loudly whisper each others’ ears off for an hour and 15 minutes straight. My stupid monkey brain can’t help but focus on your conversation about the difference between ash blonde and light blonde colored hair that look exactly the same.

To me, it just feels like a waste. You’re actively wasting money, and missing vital information. We (and the government) pay quite a lot for our education, but you are here to ignore someone significantly more experienced than us, in classes we picked, for hours every week.

I know major requirements can be boring, but this is still an education. It requires two-way effort. Most students here have at least one goal in common: success. Not every checkpoint on that path is going to be filled with joy. Sit down, shut up, and force yourself to listen to your professor. Society tells us it will eventually pay off. Or maybe it won’t because you don’t want to. I actually don’t care if you decide to pay little or no attention to the lecture itself, so long as you’re not being disturbing.

For those willing to try, in 20 years when you finally pay off your debt with your fairly secure white-collar job, you’ll look back and be happy that you went through the lectures.

【1】Why is a lecture hall compared to a church by the author?

A．Both places are open to the public.

B．He tends to make complaints.

C．He likes persuading others.

D．He cares much about friendship.

【3】How does the author feel when writing the passage?

A．Delighted.

B．Moved.

C．Thrilled.

D．Annoyed.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．Value   Your   Time

B．Mind Your In Class Behavior!

C．Hard Work Pays Off!

D．Keep quiet in the hall

28、Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film may take many weeks. Shooting the film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and re-acted, filmed and re-filmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.

Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are the actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.

Most people go to see a film because they know the film stars are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor . It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real; people feel that they themselves are among the people in the films.

29、   Art and science may seem like polar opposites(截然相反的两端). One is about the creative flow of ideas, and the other cold, hard data(数据)—or some people believe so. In fact, the two have much in common. Both require a lot of creativity. People also use both to better understand the world around them. Now, a study finds art also can help students remember better what they have learned in science class.

Mariale Hardiman is an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Back when she was a school principal, she had noticed that students who used art in the classroom were more engaged(参与其中的). They might listen more carefully, ask more questions and volunteer more ideas. What’ s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their lessons had involved(包括) art. To test whether and how well art might really improve learning, she teamed up with other researchers and six local schools to do an experiment.

The researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They took the traditional science lessons and created art-focused versions(版本) of them. In a traditional science classroom, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused class, they might sing or rap the information instead.

The team then randomly assigned (随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using one of those approaches for the entire unit—about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, researchers could see how students did in both types of classes. After each phase(阶段) of the experiment, students took tests. They took a third one 10 weeks later. This one measured how well they still remembered what they had learned earlier.

Students who started off in regular classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. And those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they moved back to a regular science class. "These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after moving back to a traditional lass," says Hardiman. "Some continued to sketch (画草图) or sing to help them remember information," she notes. "This suggests that art may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own."

In some cases, students actually performed better in the third test than in those taken earlier. Classroom teachers reported that "many students continued to sing the songs or raps that they learned after finishing the unit". "The more we hear something, the better we remember," Hardiman notes.

Everyone benefits from art, Hardiman agrees. "All students should learn how to use art as an instructional tool to promote learning."

【1】How does the first paragraph develop?

A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.

C.By following space order. D.By analyzing cause and effect.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.Students take an active part when their class involves art.

B.Students are more creative in art class than in science class.

C.Students' leaning ability depends greatly on class involvement.

D.Students remember things for a longer time if using art in class.

【3】What were students asked to do during experiment?

A.Take a test before the experiment.

B.Choose whatever class topic they liked.

C.Take a test two and a half months after the course.

D.Choose between a traditional class and an art-focused one.

【4】What does the study mainly suggest?

A.It is not easy to use art in science class. B.Science contributes to creative thinking.

C.Art can make science easier to learn. D.Art-focused lasses encourage teamwork.
