    In the United States, teachers punish (惩罚) students who don’t behave well at school in several ways. The teachers often write to or   1   the students’ parents. Sometimes the students have to stay at school   2   one more hour after school. If a student did   3   at school, the teachers can stop him or her   4   classes. The student can’t come to school for one, two or three days.

      5  , Mr Lazares, a special teacher of   6   middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When   7   didn’t allow the students to have classes, they were happy. “A    8   holiday!” they thought.

    One day a boy was in Mr Lazares’s office. The boy   9   not behaving well in classes. Mr Lazares called the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I   10   him to go back to classes,” he said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class.   11   students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed (尴尬的). After that, he did   12   better. And, of course, the other students behaved   13   too. They thought, “I don’t want my parents   14   to school.”

    Now teachers all over the USA are trying Mr Lazares’s idea. They think that students behave better ­  15   their parents come to school.

What do you think is the most important invention of the past 2000 years? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones.

     Paper is one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printer and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.

     One of the simplest inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilet, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.

 Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay(牧草)became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.

 Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting farsighted from the age of 45.Glasses mean that anyone can read, write, and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for people above 45.

26.Cai Lun’s invention of paper makes it possible to_________.

A. having printing  B. feed animals C. drink clean water  D. do “close work”

27.The invention of the toilet can stop people from ________ so easily.

A. saving water   B. getting ill  C. living in big cities  D. finding clean water

28.Why couldn’t the animals live through the winter?

C. They had no drinking water.        D. They died of illness.

A.远视          B.近视           C .头晕         D.迟钝

A. all people need reading glasses    B. anyone must do “close work” after 45

C. reading glasses are useful    D. life is more difficult for the people under 45

The designer of the Apple Computer, Steven Jobs, was not quite successful in his early years. He was not among the best students at school, and from time to time he got in trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers.

And then, in 1975, Steven Jobs set about making a new type of computer. Along with his friend Steven Woziak, he designed the Apple I computer in his bedroom and actually built it in his garage.

One possible version :

My New Computer

My father bought me a new laptop last week. Let me introduce you something about my new computer. It is only 1.7 kg and much lighter than my old one. The computer has a 14-inch monitor. It is black. It costs 3,999 yuan. I seldom use it to play games. I use it for studying instead. Our teachers often ask us to collect information about study, so computers are helpful to us. I don' t spend much time sitting in front of my computer, so my parents don't stop me from using the computer. Computers play an important role in our daily  lives. I think that computers are good for us if we use them correctly.
