At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等)，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers attitude (态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know? If you expect the best from people, theyll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat (对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and youll make him even worse. But treat a person like hes already a success, and youll help make him the best he can be.”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, youre the naughtiest boy in this class. Im sure youll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she talked with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, Ive heard a lot about you! But do you know that I dont believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because thats the power of our belief (信任) and attitude toward children.41. The professor started his research by_.A. telling the five students to work harder than ever beforeB. teaching the five children himselfC. telling the teachers the five students were the best in the classD. asking the five children to find a new teacher42.

In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared: *TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children. *TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age. *Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements. *TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular(无规律的) sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution. 46. Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs? A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others. B. they will improve childrens ability to get along with others. C. They are likely to make children more aggressive. D. They will make sure of childrens success in the future. 47. Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat? A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive. B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV. C. Watching TV doesnt burn up as much fat as doing sports. D. Children like to snack while watching TV. 48. What influence does watching TV have on a childs sleep? A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.B. Childrens sleep time will be greatly reduced. C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping. D. It will make children sleep easier. 49. What is the purpose of this text? A. To increase peoples knowledge of watching TV.B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV. C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children. D. To correct parents wrong ideas of televisions effect on children. C Look carefully at the back of a California state quarter(纪念币). A man with a walking stick is pictured thereA bird called a California condor(大秃鹫)is flying overhead. Who is this man，and why is he so important that he is featured(处于显著地位)on the back of a coin?

Muir convinced(说服)the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they could talk about conservationLater，President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land for national forests and established(建立)five national parksNational parks are large areas of land that are protected from development. This means that people cannot build homes or businesses there.
