27、Strange Baby-Naming Laws

Germany Parents are banned by law from using last names and the names of objects and products as first names. A child’s first name must clearly indicate his or her sex, and all names must be approved by the office of vital statistics in the area in which the child was born.

Iceland The country’s naming committee consults the National Register of Persons to determine if a name is acceptable. If parents want to go off-list, they must apply for approval and pay a fee, and the name must contain only letters in the Icelandic alphabet.

New Zealand The country’s Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act of 1995 prohibits parents from choosing a name that “ might cause offense to a reasonable person; is unreasonably long; or is, includes, or resembles an official title or rank,” including, apparently, Adolf Hitler and Yeah Detroit—both names recently rejected.

Denmark If Danish parents prefer a moniker not on the list of 7,000 preapproved baby names, they must get permission from local church and government officials. Fifteen to 20 percent of the 1,100 reviewed names—including creative spellings of common names, last names as first names, and unusual names—are rejected each year.

28、Educators and business leaders have more in common than it may seem. Teachers want to prepare students for a successful future. Technology companies have an interest in developing a workforce with the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills needed to grow the company and advance the industry. How can they work together to achieve these goals? Play may be the answer.

Focusing on STEM skills is important, but the reality is that STEM skills are enhanced and more relevant when combined with traditional, hands-on creative activities. This combination is proving to be the best way to prepare today’s children to be the makers and builders of tomorrow. That is why technology companies are partnering with educators to bring back good, old-fashioned play.

In fact many experts argue that the most important 21st-century skills aren’t related to specific technologies or subject matter, but to creativity; skills like imagination, problem-finding and problem-solving, teamwork, optimism, patience and the ability to experiment and take risks. These are skills acquired when kids tinker(鼓捣小玩意). High-tech industries such as NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have found that their best overall problem solvers were master tinkerers in their youth.

There are cognitive(认知的)benefits of doing things the way we did as children —building something, tearing it down, then building it up again. Research shows that given 15 minutes of free play, four-and five-year-olds will spend a third of this time engaged in spatial(空间的), mathematical, and architectural activities. This type of play—especially with building blocks —helps children discover and develop key principles in math and geometry.

If play and building are critical to 21st-century skill development, that’s really good news for two reasons: Children are born builders, makers, and creators, so fostering(培养)21st-centmy skills may be as simple as giving kids room to play, tinker and try things out, even as they grow older. Secondly, it doesn’t take 21st-century technology to foster 21st-century skills. This is especially important for under-resourced schools and communities. Taking whatever materials are handy and tinkering with them is a simple way to engage those important “maker” skills. And anyone, anywhere, can do it.

【1】What does the author say about educators?

A．They seek advice from technology companies to achieve teaching goals.

B．They have been successful in preparing the workforce for companies.

C．They help students acquire the skills needed for their future success.

D．They partner with technology companies to enhance teaching efficiency.

【2】How can educators better develop students’ STEM skills, according to the author?

A．by blending(混合)them with traditional, stimulating activities.

B．By inviting business leaders to help design curriculums.

C．By enhancing students’ ability to think in a critical way.

D．By showing students the best way to learn is through play.

【3】How do children acquire the skills needed for the 21st century?

A．By engaging in activities involving specific technologies.

B．By playing with things to solve problems on their own.

C．By familiarizing themselves with high-tech gadgets(小器具).

D．By mastering basic principles through teamwork.

【4】What can we do to help children learn the basics of math and geometry?

A．Stimulate their interest as early as possible.

B．Spend more time playing games with them.

C．Encourage them to make things with hands.

D．Allow them to tinker freely with calculators.

29、At the time, I would go out in the evening with my parents. But this time I had borrowed a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didn’t know why, but once I was on my own bicycle, a kind of free feeling flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go!

Oh! My hands! Don’t come any closer... . Don’t touch me! That poor doctor just couldn’t get my gloves off. Each time he took a step towards me, I broke into painful shouting. Much later, I discovered that I had crashed heavily with another bicycle, and I hadn’t spoken one word of sense for at least three hours! After some time, my mother arrived at the hospital, her face as white as a sheet, and gave me a hug, only then did the doctor begin to stitch(缝合) my head wound, not only did he merrily cut off a long lock of my hair, but used no anaesthetic(麻药) either! Later, I seemed to hear faraway voices saying that my right hand was broken. I almost burst into tears. How would I ever play the piano again?

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.

You are my Solskjaer,

My Ole Solskjaer

You make me happy when skies are grey.

You’ll never know dear.

How much I love you.

Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.

You are my Solskjaer

My only Solskjaer

You make my happy when skies are grey

Coz when it’s pouring you just keep scoring

Please don’t take our Solskjaer away

The above song is 【1】 from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid 【2】 to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.

Finally, the story of Ole as a United player ended. On 28 August 2007 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 【3】 called time on his united playing career-eleven years and three days after it began with a goalscoring debut.

On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect 【4】 of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his 【5】 knee injury.

On retiring, ole said, “I would like to thank the manager, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters. The supporters have been fantastic and were a real 【6】 to me when I was out injured. And their tremendous support will always be in my heart. I feel proud to have 【7】 United for 11 years and have some very special memories.”

Ole’s many career 【8】 include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best 【9】 his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and 【10】 himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.
