One day in the evening, a sheep was enjoying himself at the mountainside, when a wolf came out all of a sudden and intended to eat him. The sheep jumped away immediately and used his horns to knock back the wolf, crying out loudly to his friends for help.
The horse looked down and saw the wolf, and then he ran away quickly. The donkey stopped and found the wolf, and then slipped away quietly.
The pig passed by and saw the wolf, and then rushed down the mountain right away.
The dog heard the cries and hurried to the mountainside. He jumped out of the bushes and bit the wolf's neck. The wolf felt so painful that he shouted angrily and ran away quickly.
After the sheep came back home，all his friends came up to visit him.
The horse said, “Why not tell me you were in danger? My strong feet could break the wolf's head.”
The donkey said, “Why not tell me you were in danger? I could shout the wolf away with my horrible (可怕的) voice！”
The pig said, “Why not tell me you were in danger? I could use my big mouth to press the wolf down the mountain.”
Among all of them，only the dog did not say anything.
The real friendship does not lie in great words but in the hand that could help you out of trouble when needed. Those who often surround (围绕)you and make you happy are not necessarily your real friends, while those who seem to be distant from you but care about you and do you a favor when you are in trouble.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is one’s mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television programs; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.
However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him. 29. According to some advertisements, you ______.
A. needn’t pay your money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks B. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks C. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks D. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks 30. Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to ______.
A. read the literature of the country B. read books and reports
C. do their work better D. go to foreign countries 31. Learning a foreign language is a hard job ______.
A. only for scientists and doctors B. only for the students at school C. for those people at home D. for most people
D
It is not always a good thing to praise children because “empty” words may make them unhappy. Words such as “well done” may make them doubt their own abilities, a leading psychologist (心理学家) Stephen Grosz has warned. He says that words such as “you’re so clever” or “you’re such an artist” could also hinder their future development at school. He says that such empty praise causes children to be unhappy as they may say they can’t live up to these expectations. Instead he advises parents and teachers to praise children less frequently and use words like “trying really hard,” Mr. Grosz said, “Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism (批评). People often pay no attention to children’s feelings and thoughts.” He also mentions research showing that children who are heavily praised probably perform worse at school. Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. Afterwards, some were told, “You did really well — you’ re so clever.” But the researchers told the other group, “You did really well — you must have tried really lard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others. He says that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher tell her, “You have drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done,” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz writes, “How could I explain to the teacher that I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter?” As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I praise them when praising is proven right. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.
32. The underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 1 probably means”______”. A. allow B. prevent C. encourage D. control 33. Which of the following praise does Mr. Grosz like most? A. You are so clever! B. Well done, darling! C. You are such an artist! D. You must have tried hard! 34. The example of 128 pupils is given to show ______. A. children’s growing interest in math
B. teaching children is a difficult job
C. children are becoming cleverer and cleverer D. the disadvantage of praising children strongly 35. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A. Praise makes good men better and bad men worse.
B. Too much praise can sometimes hurt children.
C. Many children can’t live up to their parents’ expectations.
D. Parents should spend more time with their children. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
