my hands at a young age.The youngest of five brothers,I took onthe role as a“maintenance(维修)man”at an early age for our familys small grocery store.Often my dad wouldnt give me aclear idea of how something shouldbe done,so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High SchoolsHomebuilding class.I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nailsor cut pieces of two-by-fours.The problem wasthat we didnt have the resources at the time to do much else.The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important.Designing,building and selling a tiny house onwheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task.I reached out to a number of local businesses andmost of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program.Through one of our partners,we were able to connectwith the nonprofit Veterans Ananda Incorporated.Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design andproduction of micro houses to be donated to this organization.The new partnership gives the students anotherfocus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year.Three years ago we had 41 students,the next 191,and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroomenvironment.The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well.This class offerssomething for everyone and the skills are universal.1.How can we describe the young author?A.He opened a small grocery store.B.He did a lot of research in

States are red,blue or green,but almost 75percent of new cars sold in the United States are black,white,silver orgray.Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars.He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not showdirt.He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money.And he notes some areas that aresuffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta,which makes supplies for international car makers.He sayswhite cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s.And he notes that white cars“absorb(吸收)less energy”than cars of other color1 s.This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas.Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes duringthe day for white cars compared with darker ones.Car buyers in other countries also like white.Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries,a company that makespaint for cars.She said in China,buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue.Green has become lesspopular.Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America.Today,green ishard to find.Sometime in the future,people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars technology may

glasses.Theimage(画像)hasnt changed much since the 1960s,but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids?drawings in recent decades goingfrom nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.The first of many“draw-a-scientist studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966and 1977.Of those 5,000 drawings,only 28 drew female scientists.That was just 0.56 percent.Today,femalescientists are being presented more in the media.For example,in a content analysis,13 percent of peoplepictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls,compared with 44 percent in the 2000s.“That might really affect childrens idea on what a scientist should be like,”says Miller,a Ph.D.candidate inpsychology.To look for changes in childrensperceptionover time,the researchers conducted a meta-analysis,combiningdata from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.Onaverage,28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.What hasnt changed much:kids pick up stereotypes(模式化观念）by gender(性别）as they grow up.At age6,about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists.By age 16,75 percent drew malescientists.This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes.Its important that teachers andparents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.8.Whats the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s,kid like?A.A man with long curly hair.B.A woman with lab glasses.C.A woman in a formal lab suit.D.A man in a color1 ed lab coat.9.What may contribute to the changes in kids drawings?A.The improvement of women social status.B.The kids are affected by teachers and parents.C.More female scientists appear in the media.D.The increasing number of female scientists.10.What does the underlined word“perception”in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Belief.B.Idea.C.Habit.D.Growth.11.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that.A.its a stereotype that scientists are generally malesB.girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boysC.some children are born with certain stereotypesD.most children tend to prefer female scientistsDIn recent years,with the development of technology,it is common to see robots into our homes in the form oftoys and vacuums(吸尘器)without question.Childrens toys that rely on robotics for both entertainment andeducation are becoming more popular and more easily accessible.Robot vacuums,too,are so popular that theRoomba has even earned itself a name in popular television.A selection of other household wares can be purchased and owned for a reasonable cost,but they all look andperform like vacuums.Our domestic helpers are currently designed to vacuuming,mopping,sweeping andmowing.Of course the best known of these is the Roomba,but there is actually some competition amongst theautonomous vacuum manufacturers.Roomba,made by iRobot,now comes in several designs and has beenthrough many versions of improvements.The basic model is just about$400,but theres a more attractive version,complete with a wireless command center to control the robot from anywhere in the home.Samsung also has avacuum,called the Smart Tango,which makes increased improvements on the Roomba by including brushes forcleaning corners.Its possible that some of the less well-known vacuums might be even more exciting,like theNeato Robotics XV that takes on a square shape to better clean corners.Incremental(增值的)improvements arewhat drive the home robot industry.Now that domestic robots are becoming more popular,the near future should be exciting.If we are going towelcome robots into our lives and our homes,we should expect them to work for it,and work hard.Its the dawnof the robot revolution,whether we like it or not,and it would be great to see that technology put to use in moreinnovative(创新的)ways.12.What does Roomba in the passage mean?A.A mans name who has bought a domestic robot.B.A name of a big company who makesrobots.C.A type of vacuum whose name is Roomba.D.A

madness,_16_Talking to ourselves,whether out loud or silently in our heads,is a valuable tool forthought.Far from being mentally ill,self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do,manage our activities,regulateour emotions and even create a description of our experience._17_As children,according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky,we use private speech to regulate our actionsin the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others._18_Psychological experimentshave shown that the private speech can improve our performance on tasks ranging from judging what otherpeople are thinking to sorting images into categories.One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effectivewhen we address ourselves in the second person,as“you”rather than“I”._19_If you want proof,turn on the sports channel.Youre certain to see an athlete or two cheeringthemselves up with a bitter phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.Conduct a dialogue with ourselves._20_The private speech seems to be a particularly good way ofsolving problems and working through ideas.The to-and-fro between different points of view means our thoughtscan end up in expected places,just like a regular dialogue can,and might turn out to be one of the keys to humancreativity.A.What is private speech?B.But there is no need for embarrassment.C.Psychologists refer to this as private speech.D.Ask questions of the self and provide answers.E.We do a lot of private speech when we are young.F.As we grow older,we make the private speech become the way of
