No one has time for children any more. They are left for their grandparents.

And the cars! No one walks anymore. Everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. And in school, the children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, minus, multiply, and divide in our heads. Kids don't use their heads anymore. They use calculators(计算器). Most families have computers now.

23、An Activity for Reading

By CCTV

Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are successful!

We wish you spend wonderful hours of reading with children! This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program “Readers” to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.

Activity: Read to me

It’s important to read to your children, and it’s also important to listen to them when they read to you.

What you’ll need: Books at your child’s reading level

What to do:

▲Read good books to your children. Parents who read aloud to their children are developing their interest and skills in reading. Encourage your children to listen, express their ideas, and ask questions.

▲Take turns. You read a paragraph and let your child read the next one. If your child becomes easier with reading aloud, you can ask him or her to read a full page.

▲Listen carefully as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage them to practice reading. This is another way to enjoy reading together.

▲If your child has trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways:

●Ask the child to jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.

●Guide your child to use what he or she knows about letter sounds.

●Tell your child that you are proud of his or her hard working.

24、   One morning, I was driving my father-in-law to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

“It’s magic,” my father-in-law said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn’t magic. But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.

Though flying might not be magic, it’s certainly magical. What it brings to our real lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, “You know you’re growing-up when you no longer want a window seat.”

Too often in recent years, I’ve asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi’s not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldn’t stop talking. “The clouds!” he kept saying, “Look at the clouds!”

I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed easy enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and appreciated(欣赏)them for the rest of the flight.

I don’t remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I’ve never forgotten those clouds.

【1】The writer thinks flying is “magical” because   .

A. he wonders why a plane can fly

B. it has changed human lives in some ways

C. he thinks planes have magic powers

D. it can fly silently over the road like a big bird

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the 6th paragraph?

A. Where people grow up, their minds slow down.

B. When people grow up, they do not like changes.

C. Grown-ups often care too much about day-to-day work.

D. Grown-ups care little about the speed of travelling by plane .

【3】How did the writer feel first when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?

A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Interested. D. Nervous.

【4】Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Is it a wonder? B. Is it magic?

C. What soft clouds! D. What a strange flight!

25、In China, when you refuse someone, he or she might be described as "吃闭门羹" ("eating a bowl of door-closing thick soup"). What is the story b【1】 this saying?

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty (618– 907), there lived a beautiful woman c【2】 Shi Feng. Many young men wanted to m【3】 her. But Shi was hard to c【4】. She asked her admirers(倾慕者) to show her poems that they had written. She did this to see i【5】 they were talented(有天赋的). If Shi liked someone’s poems, she would a【6】 to meet him. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t meet them. But then, to be p【7】, she would at least give them a bowl of geng (羹) to eat. Geng is a type of thick s【8】. It is usually made with grain, fruit or vegetables.

As time passed, "eating a bowl of thick soup" came to mean "being refused". The dish was also nicknamed "door-closing thick soup", since Shi would not open her door for people who r【9】 the dish.

But there is a twist (意外转折) to this story. "Door-closing thick soup" was said to be so tasty that more people started coming to Shi’s door — not to marry her, but to have a t【10】 of the soup!
