When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didnt know what to expect.My mother and I walked quietly, downhill into the center oftown. Whenweenteredtheclassroom,Inoticedallthechildrenweresittingquietlyintheirseats.Anxiously,Ipickedaspotnexttoafriendlylookinggirl. In my nervousness, I had totally forgotten I was to receive a Schultuete (school cone) on the first day of school, but as I looked at my teachers desk I remembered. Her desk was covered with huge cardboard cones. I knew that my mother had filled my Schultuete with goodies and brought it to my classroom the day before, but I didnt know which one was mine. That morning, the focus of my attention remained with those cones. All of the fear slowly disappeared. When the teacher asked me to approach the desk, she did not seem threatening at all. When she smilingly handed me my Schultuete, I was the happiest girl. Proudly, I carried my gift home. The hill did not seem steep at all. Hurriedly, I unwrapped my Schultuete and discovered candies, chocolates, and oranges. This day stayed in my mind as one of the sweetest in my life. When I was older I asked my mother about her first day of school. She told me she hadnt received a Schultuete from her parents because the custom had not been established all over Germany at that time.The custom began in the cities in the 1800s and then spread to the towns and villages. By the early 1950s, the tradition of the Schultuete was established all over the country. And it has been passed on even in the present day.25.How did the author feel at first about her first day of school? A. Excited B. Confused C. Afraid D. Delighted26. According to the text, a Schultuete _. A. is given to kids as a gift on their first day of school B. is presented as a reward by a school teacher C. became popular in the early 19thcentury D. is usually filled with school supplies27. The underlined sentence “The hill did not seem steep at all” implies that _. A. the author was in good health B. the author was very excited then C. the author enjoyed climbing hills D. the author missed her mother badlyC A sea turtle named Herman, an octopus called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia all spent this summer at the Smithsonian s National Zoo in Washington, D.C. But unlike the zoos other residents, they are not real animals. These creatures are actually huge sculptures and theyre made entirely out of plastic trash from the ocean. These giant artworks, along with 14 others, are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, works to raise awareness about the problem of plastic pollution in Earths oceans. More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the worlds oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean. Thousands of marine animals-including whales, sea turtles, and fish-die each year from eating or getting stuck in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill sea grass. Washed Ashore and other organizations are working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 3000 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 sculptures of marine creatures that were harmed by plastic pollution. The artworks on display at the National Zoo include a 20-foot-long coral reef, a 12-foot-long shark, and a 16-foot-long parrot fish. Each one is made from hundreds of pieces of trash like water bottles and sunglasses. “These sculptures are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.28.

IndifferentD Reading instruction in the classroom is a key concern for all teachers and there are many ways to go about it. However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book? In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books. Parents report that their children return home from school with noinclinationto pick up a book and read. Any eager reader will gladly talk about the joy with a good book to read away the hours on a cold, rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of lifes greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-produced home reading texts in childrens early years at school can be seen as the beginning of this negative cycle. As children progress through their schooling life, there are many other instances of learning reading skills that dont help reading development. Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “ just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure. Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term”Readicide” in his book. He says its: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.Recent research shows that many teachers tend to follow the traditional literacy practices that they have experienced in their own education, which can often have negative intentions for their students. While teaching children key concepts for analyzing and evaluating texts is important, the manner in which it is done and time that is spent on this can lead to unexpected results. Schools arent to blame when it comes to not arresting students lack of interest in reading, but they have an important role to play in fostering reading enjoyment.32.What does the underlined word “inclination” mean?A. Energy B. Task C. Intention D. Requirement33.What does the term “Readicide” refer to?A. To develop reading habits B. To read for pleasureC. To learn reading skills D. To kill a love for books34.According to the text, teachers at school _.A. focus on teaching reading strategiesB. ignore key concepts for analyzing textsC. are to blame for students poor readingD. fail to follow the traditional reading practices35.What might be suitable title for the text?A. Reading books is to experience pleasure B. Learning to love books is even more importantC. Teaching reading helps reluctant readers D.
