26、Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better.【1】They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge, meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.

【2】While libraries still loan out books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Through such networks, libraries share their books with each other. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail.【3】

Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted at various age groups.【4】 The library may sponsor(赞助) a language group you could join. If you have difficulty reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to help you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.

Start a business with the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会) and government agencies.【5】

27、When it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.

Alcohol

Shocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.

Tea

China is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The Mechanical Clock

Have you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.

Silk Fabric

Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.

【1】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.

A．people in the US like alcohol

B．beer was popular in the Xia Dynasty

C．Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accident

D．the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention

28、   Many cultures follow different calendars and celebrate the New Year at different times. The Lunar New Year is one example.【1】. Here is a look at a few of them:

Getting rid of bad luck

Many cultures have traditions meant to scare off demons (恶魔) and bad luck. This often involves using fire or loud noises—or both—often in the form of fireworks!【2】. For example, just before the New Year, people in Denmark find the highest surface they can and jump from it as the New Year starts.

【3】.

Many cultures have certain foods that are said to bring good luck. In the southern part of the United States, people often eat black-eyed peas and pork for good luck in the New Year. In other parts of the U.S., people eat sauerkraut with pork sausage on New Year’s Day. And in Japan, people eat soba noodles on New Year’s Eve, 【4】—which represent longevity (长寿).

Clothing traditions

【5】. But some traditions take it a step farther than that. In Japan, for example, people who believe in Buddhism may dress up like the zodiac animal for the coming year. Then they go to a temple to, literally, ring in the New Year. At Buddhist temples, monks will ring a bell 108 times, one for each humanly sin.

A.Food for good luck

B.All kinds of cultures

C.Before they drink, they will always pray to God

D.While they eat, they try not to break the long noodles

E.Of course, some traditions meant to avoid bad luck do not involve fire at all

F.To start the New Year off on the right foot, many people like to wear new clothing

G.No matter when you celebrate, there are many traditions around the world for ringing in the New Year

29、   If parents praise everything their children do, it doesn't build their confidence and finally the Praise becomes meaningless.

Most parents and educators agree that praise is developing children's confidence, so the more praise, the better. Although praise is obviously good for children, if adults praise everything children do, the praise can finally lose its effect—youngsters will constantly seek praise.

Rather than responding to all of children's work with phrases such as “Good job” or “Nice work”, teachers should consider comments that describe the contents and encourage children to continue to improve, the researchers advise.

“Too much praise doesn't make children happier, achieve more or become more capable,” said Marshall Duke, a psychologist. Identifying a child's strengths and developing those strengths help build confidence more than constant praise does. Praise also loses its effect if the praise is the same for all the students. For example, if all the students in a class are told their paintings are great and students know some are better than others, the praise will lose its meaning.

“There is a need to have more room on either side of 'good'.” said Duke. “It's necessary to make detailed comments. Saying the truth properly is far more beneficial than empty praise.”

Adults have gotten into the habit of not telling children when they are wrong, and that will not help them deal with problems. Duke added, “That's not how the world is.”

【1】What will be the result if parents praise their children too much?

A．They will always seek praise.

B．They will get very tired of it.

C．They will do better in their studies.

D．They won't get along well with others.

【2】What can parents do to build their children's confidence?

A．Praise them as much as possible.

B．Encourage them to go on improving.

C．Tell them to get praise from teachers.

D．Let them do more difficult work.

【3】What does Duke mean by saying “There is a need to have more room on either side of ‘good’” in paragraph 5?

A．Never say “Good job” to children.

B．“Good” is the best word for children.

C．It is important to praise children properly.

D．Children who often get “Good” from others will be successful

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The More Praise, the Better

B．How to Praise Children Timely

C．Praise Is Always Good for Children

D．Too Much Praise Doesn't Help Children Build Confidence
