　　Ⅱ.阅读理解ons of people would buy a product containing living insects？A businessman named Milton Levine did. He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago. Today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. But he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.

　　Mr Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ. He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania，after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. He decided to make toys. They understood that American society was about to change. The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning. There would be a huge demand for children's toys.

　　One day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm. Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm.

　　Milton Levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. The top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill(风车)．Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and above­ground areas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.

　　The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.life, Mr Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.

　　The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. For example, people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong. Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are. A writer remembers owning an Uncle Milton Ant Farm when he was about five years old.He says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.

　　16．Which of the following words can best describe Milton Levine?

　　A．Strong.

　　B．Creative.

　　C．Loyal.

　　D．Humorous.

　　17．________ may be studied in the science of entomology.

　　A．Roses

　　B．Butterflies

　　C．Tigers

　　D．Sharks

　　C．ants parading

　　D．a farmhouse

　　19．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

　　A．How to care for the ants.

　　C．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is more than a toy.

　　D．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is very popular.

Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.

　　Study every day

　　[2]Language learning is a process of accumulation: you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.

　　Distribute your study time in 15璽o 30璵inute periods throughout the day

　　u[3]Focus on a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar… So you'll at least have looked at it all. About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation or practice including practice in the language lab.

　　Attend and participate in every class梕ven if you aren't well prepared

　　t[4]Class time is your best opportunity to practice, learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to ________ the class time. Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.

Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation—study beyond the point of recognition to mastery.

　　Develop a good attitude

　　[8]Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.
