24、   Have you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant to eat and gotten a kid's meal that came with a toy? Sometimes those meals have different toys for boys and girls —maybe a truck for the boys and a toy bear for the girls. Who decides that boys like to play with trucks and girls like to play with stuffed animals? I know many boys who like stuffed animals and lots of girls who play with trucks. When we decide what someone will like or how they will act just because they are boys or girls, we are stereotyping（形成模式化观念）.

A stereotype is a group that we put people into. Our human brains do this all the time; it's one of the ways that our brain has learned to deal with the world. We see someone and put that person into a group—for example, the old or the young, a boy or a girl. Is that a bad thing? No, it's not.

One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to deal with situations rapidly because we may have had a similar experience before. The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they cut down the amount of processing（i.e. thinking）we have to do when we meet a new person.

Although grouping itself isn't bad, it can be harmful sometimes. It makes us ignore differences between each single person, that is, we usually think all the people in one group are the same but that might not be true.

When we stereotype, we think of a group and give everyone in that group certain characteristics. For example, the fast food restaurant believed that all boys like to play with vehicles and all girls prefer toy animals. They did that based only on whether they were boys or girls.

Stereotypes are problems when beliefs that people have about groups are not necessarily true. Have you ever heard anyone say that "Men are better drivers than women"? Statements like this take a group of people and give all of them the same behaviors or characteristics. I know men who are good drivers, and I know women who are good drivers. It's not fair to judge all people in a group by a stereotype. We need to remember that everyone in the group is an individual who has different abilities, interests, strengths and behaviors.

【1】The example of different toys for boys and girls is mentioned to show that_________.

A.boys and girls prefer different toys

B.boys and girls are treated unfairly

C.people sometimes mix children's likes

D.people have fixed ideas on things

【2】Which of the following stereotypes is useful?

A.Making friends by his appearance.

B.Boys do better in science than girls.

C.Youth easily do unreasonable things.

D.Red signs on the road warn us of danger.

【3】The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.

A.fail to notice B.fail to trust C.fail to search D.fail to face

【4】What does the writer want to tell us about stereotyping?

A.Stereotyping is like a coin which has two sides.

B.It helps our brain learn to deal with similar situations.

C.Judging people by stereotyping them makes things hard.

D.Trying to learn about and form some kinds of them stereotypes.

25、   One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.  

“Is it good?” I asked her.

“Yeah,” she answered. I leaned forward.

“Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:

  She never puts her toys away,

    Just leaves them scattered where they lay …

The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:

    When she grows and gathers poise,

    I’ll miss her harum-scarum noise,

    And look in vain for scattered toys

    And I’ll be sad

A terrible sorrow (痛苦) washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.

To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst (突然) out crying.

“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.

“Oh, Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”

She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”

“Okay,” I was still weeping (流泪). My scare has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could obviously understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated (着迷) by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.

I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.

【1】Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?

A. It was a thick enough book. B. Something on its cover caught her eye.

C. Her mother was reading it with interest. D. It has a meaningful title.

【2】The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” because______.

A. it reflected her own childhood B. it was written in simple language

C. it was composed by a famous poet D. it gave her an idea of what would happen

【3】It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to _______.

A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles

C. find her eagerness to grow up D. experience great homesickness

26、   When I was a little child, I lived a happy life. My parents took me to play in many places, and in school, my teacher was kind and friendly, he left me little homework. We used to play games and watch cartoons in class.

However, my bad dreams began when I got to Grade Three. The teachers were stricter and the subjects were more difficult. My grades were dropping which made my parents very worried. They had to make me study all day. I was very tired and thought the school was not fun as before. Then in Grade Four and Grade Five, I kept having the problem, failing grades. I almost lost heart in learning.

Grade six was the last year when I was in primary school. On April 21th that year, our school held a sport meeting. Luckily, I won the races for 100m and 200m. It was on the winter’s platform (领奖台) that realized I was the fastest runner in the school. From then on, I studied harder and more carefully. I wanted to prove that I could also do well in study. Then my grades became better and better.

So we should look up and never give up. Failure does not mean you are a loser. But when you keep going and keep working hard, you will win. Without pain, suffering, regrets or failure, you will never become the greatest.

27、   One Sunday, I decided to tidy my bookshelf up. Suddenly, a white envelope fell to the floor. I was surprised! I couldn't remember putting the envelope on my shelf. It must have been years ago!

My dear children, I love you so much! This is not a letter to be posted. I have written this in the hope that one day you will find it. Yes, I wanted to let you know something that I thought was not suitable to express face to face.

Life is too short and uncertain. What I say is not new at all, but why I say it is important. If you are reading this, I am no longer with you. You are alone now. I'm not there to help you or give you any kind of advice. But I have faith(信心) that the steps you take will be sound and wise.

The world around you can be confusing. But if you look inside yourself, you can light your path and figure out where to go. Remember the saying “you reap what you sow(播种)”. The way you act will have an impact on your life. Be careful and aware of every step. Be positive as much as possible. All of you are great children. I hope you can understand what I mean. Be kind to others and to yourself.

Yours affectionately(挚爱地) Mom
