I loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it when mother sat doing letters.Looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother,“But the desk,”she said again,“is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her get angry, and never saw her cry.I knew she loved me, and she showed it in action.But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened and a gulf opened between us.I was“too emotional (易動(dòng)感情的)”, but she lived“on the surface”.
As years went by and I had my own family.I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way that she did forgive (原諒) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer.It didn’t come.
It seemed that nothing happened.I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to her.
I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, though she had never been able to.I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside… a photo of my father and a one-paper letter.Folded (折疊) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose.Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

A Cool Way to Keep Cool
We all know that foods will easily go bad if they get too warm. So we usually put them into our fridges to keep cool in hot weather. But can you make it without fridges?
In 1995, Abba, a teacher from Nigeria, found a cool way. His invention was called Pot-in-Pot Cooling System.
It uses two clay pots (陶罐). There is a smaller pot inside a lager one. The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand. Fruit, vegetables or drinks can be put into the smaller pot. A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system. Some foods can be kept fresh for several weeks in it.
Abba built five thousand pot-in-pot systems for the villagers in his hometown. Then people all over the country began using the invention. Soon it became popular with farmers in other African countries/
In 2000, Abba got a prize ---the Rolex Award. If you are trying to do something to improve human life, you may have the chance to get this prize.
1. ______ from Nigeria invented the Pot-in-Pot Cooling System.
A. A teacher B. A cook C. A scientist D. A worker
59. In the Pot-in-Pot Cooling System, you should put fruit and drinks ______.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:
Why is it that some people seem to learn several languages without any effort, while for others learning just one foreign language is neither enjoyable nor successful? What makes learning a new language so easy for some and so difficult or others.
We each have our own preferred way of learning as a result of our cultural and educational backgrounds and our personalities. Experts have identified different learning styles.
Visual Learners usually enjoy reading and prefer to see an image of the words they are learning. They like looking at pictures and flashcards. Auditory Learners, on the other hand, prefer to learn by listening. They enjoy conversations and talking to others. They don’t need to see words written down. One study revealed that Japanese students tend to be Visual Learners, while English-speaking American, prefer the auditory learning style.
Some people like to learn by using their hands to touch objects, while others like to move around and need frequent breaks from sitting at a desk.
There are Analytical Learners, meaning they enjoy understanding how the language works. They love studying grammar rules and like to focus on details, whereas Global Learners are more interested in communicating their ideas and are not worried about whether what they say is grammatically correct.
In spoken English, the Japanese tend to be Reflective Learners. They think carefully before they speak to ensure their message is accurate. They do not make so many mistakes but their communication is slower. European learners tend to be mote Impulsive Learners. They speak more fluently and worry about how well they are communicating rather than how many mistakes they are making.
So, to do well in a language, you should identify your style and try to find a class that will teach you the way you want to learn. For example, if you are a Reflective Learner, you may not do so well in a purely conversational class and as an Auditory Learner, you probably don’t want to do so much reading. In fact if you are an Auditory Learner, you are probably not enjoying yourself right now!
1. The passage mainly talks about ______.
A. the difficult learning styles of some people
B. the easy learning ways of, other people
C. the different learning styles of the Japanese
D. the different learning methods of all the people
2. Which of the following phrases isn’t connected with the learning style?
A. The way people are taught to learn a language.
B. The place where people are from.
C. The size of people.
D. The kind of person people are.
3. Visual Learners like to ______.
A. see things B. touch things C. hear things D. do things
4. Auditory Learners like to ______.
A. hear things B. buy things C. destroy things D. paint things
5. Analytical Learners ______.
A. are similar to Global Learners B. never worry about mistakes
C love to study details D. do well in conversation
