The Hart Library

Please note that many of the books and other works provided on this site were written many years ago, before the invention of the radio, atomic bombs and cars. Some are even older, written when the world was run by kings and queens, and most people did not know how to read them. The works reflect the times in which they were written, and many contain views about race, religion, science and other things that we find annoying or just wrong today.

We believe that part of the value of these works is the window they provide on the past. By providing these books we do not mean to present any point of view, except that education and reading are good.

Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early, when his parents realize that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.

Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a special-needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they want to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge the pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.

The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06 — being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.

But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great result,” she often said.

6．How did Adrian finally succeed in his study?

B．He studied in a regular school.

C．He attended private classes after school.

D．He worked very hard both in and after class.

7．Why is Adrian’s life described as an “Amazing Race”?

A lot of us lose life’s tough situations by mounting a frontal attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to chalk up a win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, Sam, who hit a traffic jam on the way to work. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s constant lateness-serious illness at home, he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down with a dismissal speech prepared.

He was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room. Sam’s boss approached him. Suddenly, Sam reached out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’ m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job which I understand became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?” The room exploded in laughter. The boss smiled and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh.

Here is another example. An English hostess was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests. She had asked her son to serve a large roast turkey. The boy only succeeded in dropping the bird onto the dining-room floor. Moving only her head, the hostess smiled at her son, “No harm, Daniel,” she said, “just pick it up and take it back to the kitchen”, she said clearly so he would think about what she was saying and bring in the other one. Some humorous words changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a ton of fun.

Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽视)means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for making up differences, saying sorry, saying no, criticizing, and getting the other person to do what you want without his losing face. Also, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people are in any other places.

Of course, humor is often more than a laughing matter. In its potent guises(有效的伪装), it has a Trojan-horse(特洛伊木马)nature: no one goes on guard against a laugh; we let it in because it looks like a little wooden toy. Once inside, however, it can turn a city to reform, to rebellion(反抗), to resistance.

9．What can the underlined words “chalk up” in Paragraph 1 be replaced by?

A．pay for B．respond to C．think of recording D．succeed in getting

10．How does the author explain the power of humor?

A．By using examples. B．By making comparisons.

C．By introducing study results. D．By setting clown general rules.

11．What does the author mean by mentioning humor’s Trojan-horse nature?

A．It is but a toy. B．It catches us unaware.

C．We usually resist its effect. D．We seldom really understand it.

D

A new study finds that the average performance of students from the lowest income families in the US lags(滞后) about three to four years behind that of the highest income students-an achievement gap that has remained constant for decades. An analysis of standardized tests given to more than 2. 7 million middle and high school students over 40 years suggests that federal education programs aimed at closing the gap are falling short.

Researchers looked at results from four different programs conducted nationwide at various intervals from 1971 to 2015 to test teenagers in math, reading and science. A total of 98 exams were used in the programs, testing students aged 13-15 as well as 17-year-olds. Test scores for 17-year-old students in the bottom 10th income percentile(百分位) were far lower than those in the top 10th percentile.

Meanwhile, the overall test scores didn't shift for 17-year-olds during the study period. They did improve slightly for 13-to 15-year-olds, which suggests that federal programs for younger students have been helpful. But the lowest income students still score much lower than the highest income students. “Programs for older students are badly needed,” says study coauthor Eric Hanushek, an education economist at Stanford University. “Lower achievement in high school leads to lower earning potential throughout adulthood. The next generation is going to look a lot like this generation. Kids from poor families will become poor themselves.”

Whether the problem is worsening, however, is up for debate. A 2011 study, conducted by Stanford education sociologist Sean Reardon, looked at 12 exams administered from 1960 to 2007, and found that the gap in test scores between the poorest and the wealthiest students grew by 40 percent. It shows the poorest students lag about three to six years behind their wealthier peers in learning. Reardon suggested parents of means were increasingly investing in their children's education, sharpening the divide.

The different results between the new study and that conducted in 2011 come down to the fact that the researchers analyzed results from different tests and how they categorized(分类) family income level, says education sociologist Anna Chmielewski. Hanushek and Reardon agree that the income-related achievement gap is alarming.

12．What does the result of the new study indicate?

A．The poorest students' lagging behind exists in specific age groups.

B．A better standard for category should be adopted in the study.

C．The federal education programs turned out unsuccessful generally.

D．A better school performance necessarily leads to higher income.

13．How does the author present the serious issue?

A．By showing the discussion result. B．By clarifying some points.

C．By doing a questionnaire. D．By making a comparison.

14．What may cause the different results of the two studies?

A．The different countries. B．The analytical methods.

C．The income assessments. D．The different ranges of age.

15．Why does the income-related achievement gap concern people?

A．It will disappear eventually.

B．It will further widen the social gap.

C．It results in the students' blind competitions.

D．It makes Americans smarter and richer.

If you want to succeed in school, effective note-taking is a valuable skill for remembering, reciting and recalling information.    16  

Get ready to take notes. It may sound pretty basic, but it’s important to have all of your note-taking materials organized before the start of any class, or lecture.    17    This will help you remember what was covered and get you ready to understand the new information your teacher will provide.

Be an active listener. If you don’t make an effort to understand the topic while you’re in class, you will miss out on a valuable learning opportunity.    18  

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. When you come across something you don’t understand, ask the teacher or lecturer for help.

Color-code your notes. Color-coding helps you to link color with memory, allowing you to remember the contents of your notes with little effort.    19    For example, you could write questions in red, definitions in blue and conclusions in green. You could also use a highlighter pen (荧光笔) to highlight key words, dates and definitions.

   20    Reviewing your notes after class, or later the same day will help you to remember the information much more effectively. Check with other students to be sure you did not leave out important information.

A．Review your notes.

B．Remember all the information after class.

C．Try using different colored pens for different parts of your notes.

D．So if you want to take better notes, you’d better be an active listener first.

E．As long as you want to remember things well, you must use colored pens.

F．Review your notes from the previous (以前的) class before you come to class.

G．If you follow these simple steps and tips, you will find your study is more efficient.

Lucy was with her mother one day as they took a walk while window-shopping. They both knew they wouldn't be buying much. Lucy looked up at the people passing them. Ladies wore 5-inch heels and bright clothes. Man wore expensive perfumes and creams that wiped away the winkles on their faces. An uneasy feeling started to settle in her chest. She could deny it no longer and she was ashamed of her mother.

They were in a high-class neighborhood. They lived in a small, expensive apartment building at the cage of their county. Mother chose to move there because she knew the schools were good. She realized for the first time that they didn't belong there.

She could see the heavy lines around her mother's eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clothes and worn-out shoes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet, and her hair was too gray for her age. She was nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment, she stood out because she was just so plain. Lucy didn't want to be seen with her although there was no one important around to see her anyway. She felt awkward about being at her side. They were standing in the middle of a store, and mother was holding a sweater.

Mother said, “Lucy, this will look good on you. Do you want it?” It was much too expensive, but Lucy almost thoughtlessly answered “Yes”. Then she took a closer look at the small, tired woman with a big smile and a sweater in her hands, happy to be giving her something so nice. Her words died in her throat. Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying her daughter new ones. She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for her daughter. She didn't wear jewelry or perfumes because she was content with spending what little money she had on her child. Suddenly, her mother was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in her eyes.

52．Para 1:

Lucy was no longer ashamed of her mother, but of herself. How could she have such a thought of her dear mother! “Do you want it?” Mother repeated. “No, thanks”, Lucy replied. A good idea came to Lucy. She walked around in the store, searching carefully. Suddenly, a nice dress came into her eyes. It was just the right style and the right size for her mother “Mom, come here and try this on, “ Lucy said. Mother was in surprise and tried it on.

Para 2:

It looked so beautiful on mother that Lucy could hardly contain her excitement. She circled around her mother, appreciating the dress and nodding with a smile. Mother asked, “Do you like this dress?” “Yes!” Mother wanted to get changed and bought one for Lucy. However, Lucy insisted mother just wear it. Mother agreed and paid the bill. Having returned home, mother took the dress off and gave it to Lucy. But Lucy said, “Mom, it's for you!” With a short shock, a slow smile worked its way across mother's face and into her eyes.
