　　A

　　Children’s Storybooks and Tales: This site is dedicated to Children’s Story Books and how to tell Children’s Stories. If you enjoy a child’s story or have kids of your own then please browse (浏览) this site to find some great stories and how to read them.

　　The Cat in the Hat---Dr. Seuss

　　In the first book featuring the character (The Cat in the Hat, 1957), the Cat brings chaos (混乱) to a household of two young children on one rainy day while their mother is out. Bringing with him two creatures appropriately named Thing One and Thing Two, the Cat performs all sorts of tricks to amuse the children, with mixed results. The Cat’s tricks are vainly opposed by the family pet, who is a conscious goldfish. The children (Sally and her older brother) finally prove good ones, capturing the Things and bringing the Cat under control. He cleans up the house on his way out, disappearing seconds before the mother comes back.

　　The Famous Fire---Enid Blyton

　　The Famous Fire is Enid Blyton’s most popular and celebrated series of children’s books. The sequence (顺序) began life in 1942, when the first book, Fire on a Treasure Island was published and it has won great praise from both fans and critics. The series has gone on to become amongst the best-loved stories ever to have been written for children.

　　Tom and Pippo in the Garden---Helen Oxenbury

　　In 1988 Helen Oxenbury created a series of books featuring Tom, a naughty young boy, and his beloved stuffed monkey, Pippo. Ms. Oxenbury remarked that Tom was very much like her son “when he was a little boy”. Like Tom, her son would often blame his misdeeds on his trusted buddy, the friendly family dog.

　　The BFG---Roald Dahl

　　The story is about an orphan girl named Sophie. One night when Sophie cannot sleep during the “witching hour” and sees a giant blowing something into bedroom windows down the street. The giant sees her, and although she tries to hide in the bed, he reaches through the window and carries her away to his home.

　　56.

　　A. the goldfish likes to keep company with the cat

　　B. all tricks performed by the cat are not amusing

　　A. when magic things can happen B. when a girl can’t fall asleep

　　There are four types of persons who go to work part-time. These include retirees who want a bit more income or socialization, parents who want to spend more time with their children, college and high school students and temporary agency workers who want more experience. Many people enjoy the advantages of working part-time, but benefits are rarely offered to part-time employees.

　　Most people are hoping for health insurance and retirement benefits when taking a job. Traditionally, companies only offer benefits to employees who work 30 hours or more a week. This is only a 25% reduction in hours, so it doesn’t free up a lot of time for the employee who needs part-time hours. Even when a part-timer is offered health benefits, he is rarely offered paid time off and retirement benefits. Dental benefits are almost never offered to part-time employees.

　　Many businesses hire part-time employees for the simple reason of saving money. If they work less than a certain number of hours, the employers don’t need to pay for benefits. There are companies, however, that are beginning to offer benefits to part-time employees. This includes benefits for health, paid time off and retirement plans. Some companies have begun to offer this in order to take in high quality, trained professionals who just want part-time hours. If a company wants a qualified employee, it will have to compete with other companies. People who may only want to work part-time may be forced to take a full-time job to get the benefits. Companies who offer benefits to part-timers have an advantage by offering more choices to their employees in terms of hours.

　　Conducting an Internet search is probably the quickest way to find companies that provide benefits for part-time employees. Many large corporations like Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods offer benefits to part-time employees among other things. Look for companies that offer a team approach to their employees. Employees are given choices and part of decision-making in the business. Businesses that allow employee input are more likely to offer benefits to part-timers.

　　60.

　　People prefer to work part-time mainly because they __________.

　　A. don’t want to spend more time on work

　　B. have so many household and social affairs

　　C. hope to have more money, time and experience

　　D. only expect to make more friends

　　61.

　　From the second paragraph we can learn that part-timers _______.

　　A. can enjoy as many benefits as full-timers

　　B. prefer retirement benefits to health insurance

　　C. often retire without enjoying any benefit

　　D. often enjoy fewer benefits than full-timers

　　C

　　If you are looking for an animal to take the title of “most violent fish in the sea”, then the tiger puffer (河豚) fish would have to be a strong contestant. Not only is it deadly poisonous --- though that doesn’t stop people trying to eat it --- but it is also able to scare off enemies by inflating itself to become much larger than normal, when it is young it even chews on its own brothers and sisters.

　　Tiger puffer fish attach their eggs to rocks near the bottom of the sea, often at the mouths of bays. Then the larvae (幼鱼) move to the entries of rivers and lakes once they have grown a little. Then, having put on a lot of weight, they head out to sea. There’s no innocent childhood for the puffer fish, as Shin Oikawa of Kyushu University in Japan and his colleagues found out when they put the larvae of tiger puffer fish in the lab and monitored them for two months. They found that the larvae went through three steps in which their metabolic(新陈代谢) rates increased dramatically when they reached body weights of 0.002g, 0.01g, and 0.1g. When a larva went through one of these steps, its behaviour also changed. For instance, once a larva had passed the first level it would have grown its first tooth and could start attacking larvae that had not yet reached that stage. Similarly, any larva that had reached the 0.01g or 0.1g levels would start attacking lighter larvae.

　　The researchers noted that the baby fish had a “relatively small mouth”, so rather than swallowing their brothers and sisters whole, they would bite pieces out of them. Despite this limitation, the fish caused plenty of deaths --- up to 12 per cent of the deaths that happened in the lab each day.

　　Those fish that grew fast enough to be able to chew on their fellows had an advantage. The extra food accelerated their growth and development. Tiger puffer fish are likely to be faster and swifter, so they can deal better with enemies.

　　As the name suggests, puffer fish can inflate to make themselves seem much larger than they really are, thus scaring off enemies. They do this by filling their stomachs, which are extremely elastic(弹性的), with water. If that’s not enough of a threat, the tiger puffer fish --- like most of the other puffer fish in the family --- carries a deadly toxin(毒素). Eat one puffer fish and the poison will paralyse (瘫痪) your muscles, including the muscles responsible for breathing, so death is usually caused by a lack of oxygen. Famously, the fish is a delicacy in Japan, where highly qualified chefs produce dishes that contain the safe level of the poison. Interestingly, the puffer fish does not go to the trouble of producing the poison itself. Instead, it hosts bacteria (细菌) that produce the stuff. It obtains these bacteria from its diet, so the youngest adult fish are not poisonous.

　　64.

　　All of the following statements account for the violence of puffer fish except that_____.

　　A. they are very difficult to catch

　　B. they can become larger to threaten enemies away

　　C. they kill their younger companions as they grow up

　　D. they are deadly poisonous

　　65.

　　We can learn from the second paragraph that puffer fish _____.

　　A. can only grow to a weight of 0.1g

　　B. do not change their behavior as they grow up

　　C. like to find a safe place to hatch the next generation

　　D. begin to grow teeth when they reach the third level

　　66.

　　Where does the poison in the puffer fish’s body come from?

　　A. Its inner organs.

　　B. The air it breathes in.

　　C. The diet it eats.

　　D. The bacteria around it.

　　67.

　　Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Puffer fish can only produce poison when they face danger.

　　B. People like eating puffer fish even though they are poisonous.

　　C. The larvae are more aggressive than adult puffer fish.

　　D. Young puffer fish taste better than adult puffer fish.

　　Children who grow up with self-control and the understanding of others’ needs will be happy and successful adults in the future, according to Dr. Cleen Kelly Mast, an expert on children’s health. The key to raising a successful child comes from realizing what true happiness is.

　　For a person to be truly happy, he or she should learn to form the habits of self- discipline and generosity. Parents must help their children reach this point by emphasizing the development of virtue and the advantage of forming good habits. “We have wonderful support systems through our schools,” Dr. Mast said, “but they are just support systems. The school cannot make up for what is lacking at home.” According to Dr. Mast, family life is well suited to educate children in virtuous living and the development of what she calls a “fine-tune” conscience, which brings happy feelings.

　　So how can busy parents help children fine-tune their conscience? Dr. Mast suggested parents stop blaming and criticizing their children and teach them the skills of self-discipline through concrete actions.

　　However, a good example from parents is not enough. Children must become engaged in their own development. Parents can help children achieve that by making them realize that they are responsible for their actions, and they can stop protecting their children from painful experiences as well. Good discipline is not just making children resign themselves to parents’ requests. “Parents must encourage them with more than ‘Because I said so’,” said Dr. Mast. Besides, orderliness and organization is quite important for children to achieve self-discipline.

　　Parents need to work on developing their children’s habits of generosity and kindness to others. “Help your child and yourself think about kind thoughts of others, while pushing out negative thoughts,” said Dr. Mast. She also suggested parents find their children’s nature by analyzing the way they react to situations or to others. And it is also considered helpful to have them develop the habit of reviewing the day nightly, with a focus on correcting their own particular faults.

　　But life is not all work and no play. All have the right to enjoy life. As parents, it is your duty to help your children form good habits and let them have fun while working hard, which can result in success when they grow up.
