4.The UK government has begun a campaign to help people with disabilities get into the workplace.The campaign includes a plan to offer disabled young people new internships(實習)and training to help them find jobs.Ministers want firms to change their employment policies after government research showed that employers'attitudes were a barrier to disabled people.
An advertising campaign for the initiative(倡議)was announced to the public in London on Thursday at a disability employment conference.The campaign will ask employers to recognize the talents that disabled people can offer,and"challenge some of the prejudices."
Prime Minister David Cameron said,"This isn't just about doing what is right for disabled people.Employing disabled people makes business sense,too.We need to deal with the complexities of employing disabled people,or put it more simply,to give employers more confidence."
As part of the new initiative,a government-funded scheme will be available to 16-to 24-year-olds who have complex learning difficulties and disabilities.Youngsters who sign up for an internship,which will be run by further education colleges,will get help from expert career coaches and work for at least six months.Under these"traineeships",young people will get assistance in writing a CV,interview practice,work placements of up to five months and training in English and maths.Employers will also be given help from the same coaches and encouraged to take on disabled young people.
There are nearly seven million disabled people of working age in the UK,and their employment rates have increased slightly over the past decade,from 42.2% in 2002 to 46.3% in 2012.
Last year,the government announced that 27 Remploy factories,which provide employment opportunities for disabled people,were to close.The closures followed advice by an independent review into the way the government spent its disability employment budget.It suggested that the government should use the budget to support individuals,rather than factory businesses.
26.According to government research,what has been making it difficult for disabled people to get jobs?C
A.Lack of training.
B.Their disabilities.
C.Employers'attitudes.
D.Lack of government support.
27.Prime Minister David Cameron thought the campaignC.
A.is not to do what is right for disabled people
B.will encourage employers without confidence
C.is important for disabled people as well as businesses
D.will help businesses have more employment budget

B.Disabled youngsters in colleges who want to find a job.
C.Disabled youngsters who are poor at English and maths.

7.Reward methods are an everyday occurrence in our classrooms.More than ever,a great number of incentive(激勵) programs have been created to help teachers manage behavior,and motivate learners.However,there is evidence that in the long run,reward systems don't work.
Many people believe that rewards can help students develop a reason to do better.However,this approach fails to address why children are unable to be successful in the first place.When a student who dislikes math frequently behaves badly in class,a simple and easy way to deal with the behavior might be to offer him a reward for not misbehaving.Yet this would do nothing to solve his real problem-which is his attitude towards math.
On the other hand,rewards can't last forever.So what happens when they stop?Many experiments suggest once the rewards stop,people go back to behaving as they did before.
Some people might counter that.It may be true that students won't spontaneously(自發(fā)地) work once we stop rewarding them,but at least they will have worked more than they otherwise would have!Unfortunately,there is another more surprising consequence of rewards that we need to consider:Rather than create motivation,they can actually decrease motivation.
In a classic study,some kinder garteners who enjoyed drawing with markers were observed in a classroom with different activities available.They were broken into two groups.Everyone in the first group was told that he or she could win an attractive certificate by drawing a picture with markers.Each was eager to get the certificate and drew a picture.Children in the second group were also encouraged to draw but didn't get a certificate.After a delay of about two weeks,when the markers again appeared in the classroom but no certificate was promised,the children in the first group used the markers about half as much as children in the second group.Apparently,rewards actually made them enjoy drawing less.
What we really want is for students to take responsibility for their own learning.When much of the focus is on performance outcome,it can stop the development of self-motivation.The‘self-determination theory'claims all human beings will succeed when our basic,inborn,and emotional needs are met.By providing appropriate support and opportunities,we can help to meet the needs of all students and therefore increase their motivation.

63.The author mainly argues thatD.
   A.students should be responsible for their learning
B.incentive programs help to solve real problems
C.motivation plays an important role in learning
D.reward methods for students are ineffective
64.The underlined word"counter"in Paragraph 4 probably meansB.
A.suspect B.oppose C.detail D.confirm
65.In Paragraph 5,the author uses the example to show thatD.
A.rewards keep interest
B.children enjoy awards
C.children are changeable
D.rewards reduce motivation
66.The author persuades readers to accept his argument mainly byC.
A.questioning the results of classic studies
B.comparing strengths with weaknesses
C.pointing out the problems with reward systems
D.giving examples of badly-behaved students.

9.Laughter makes you feel good.And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter disappears.Humor helps you keep a positive,optimistic outlook through difficult situations,disappointments,an d loss.
More than just a pause from sadness and pain,laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope.Even in the most difficult of times,a laugh---or even simply a smile-can go a long way toward making you feel better.And laughter really is contagious (有傳染的)-just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in the fun.
Laughter strengthens our relationships by bringing positive feelings and building emotional connections.When we laugh with one another,a positive bond is created.This bond fights stress,disagreements,and disappointment.
Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting.All emotional sharing builds strong and lasting relationship bonds.Laughter unites people during difficult times.
Having more humor and play into your daily interactions can improve the quality of your love relationships-as well as your connections with co-workers,family members,and friends.
Laughter is your birthright,a natural part of life that is inborn.Little babies begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born.Even if you did not grow up in a family where laughter was a common sound,you can learn to laugh at any stage of life.
One essential characteristic that helps us laugh is not taking ourselves too seriously.We've all known someone who takes everything with deathly seriousness and never laughs at anything.No fun there!
The ability to laugh,play,and have fun with others not only makes life more enjoyable but also helps you solve problems,connect with others,and be more creative.People who include humor and play into their daily lives find that it renews them and all of their relationships.
Life brings challenges that can either get the best of you or become playthings for your imagination.When you"become the problem"and take yourself too seriously,it can be hard to think outside the box and find new solutions.But when you play with the problem,you can often transform it into an opportunity for creative learning.

16.When we give our kids holiday gifts,many of us can't wait to hea r their appreciative cries of"thank you!"once the wrapping gets ripped off.But here's a tip:You'd be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.
Gratitude can make us happier,healthier,and even fitter.But do the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them?All the research I've done has convinced me that it won't happen.One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone,he said,"But that's what moms should do."From a teenager's angle,it's a parent's responsibility to take care of the family.According to Dunham,Yale's assistant professor of psychology,"When teenagers code it that way,a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily"-it's just mom and dad living up to their obligation.
Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something.But kids can't know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison.And they don't learn that by a parent complaining that they're ungrateful.We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view.Show by example that gratitude isn't about stuff-which ultimately can't make any of us happy anyway.It's about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.
You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them.You set the budget for giving and the kids decide how it's distributed.Once the conversation about gratitude gets started,it's much easier to continue all year.Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful.When kids go off to college,you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.
Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them.And we can all learn together that the things that really matter aren't on sale at a department store.
22.How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents?D
A.They show no interest in their parents'gifts.
B.They can't wait to open their parents'gifts.
C.They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.
D.They take their parents'gifts for granted(認為…理所當然).
23.To make children grateful for what they have,parents shouldC.
A.live up to their obligation
B.a(chǎn)sk their children to have good manners
C.teach their children by setting an example    
D.complain their children are ungrateful
24.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A
A.No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful.
B.Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents.
C.Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own money
D.It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.
25.What's the purpose of the author writing this text?B
A.To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.
B.To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.
C.To encourage parents to do things together with their children.
D.To remind parents of their responsibility to educate their children.

14.Back in the fifteenth century,in a village near Nuremberg,lived a family with eighteen children.Eighteen!In order to support such a big family,the father worked almost eighteen hours a day.Despite their hopeless condition,two of the children Albrecht Durer and his elder brother Albert Durer had a dream.They both wanted to become artists.,but they knew full well that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy(?茖W院).
After many long discussions,the two boys finally worked out an agreemet.They would toss a coin.The loser would go down into the nearby mines and,with his earnings,support his brother while he attended the academy.Then,when that brother completed his studies,in four years,he would support the other broter at the academy.
Tossing a coin,Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went down into the dangerous mines and,for the next four years,supported his brother,whose work at the academy was very good.By the time he graduated,he had earned considerable money for his works of art..
When the young artist returned to his village,the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht's homecoming,where Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of support that had enabled him to achieve his ambitio."And now,Albert,it is your turn.Now you can go to Nuremberg to go for your dream,and I will take care of you."
Tears streaming down his pale face,Albert sobbed,"No …no …no …no,It is too late for me.Look …look what four years in the mines have done to my hands!I have been suffering from arthritis(關節(jié)炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast.I cannot paint with a pen or a brush."
To show thanks to Albrt for all of his sacrifice(犧牲),Albrecht Durer drew his brother's damaged hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward.He called his powerful drawing simply"Hands,"but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it"The Praying Hands."
The next time you see a copy of that touching creation,take a second look.Let it be your reminder--no one ever makes it alone!
28.Why did the two brother work out the agreement?C
A.They were so curious as to make a bet.
B.One of the brothers should go down to the miners.
C.Their family couldn't afford their attending the academy
D.They wanted to support the other sisters and brothers.
29.Which of the following statements is NOT true about Albrecht Durer?B
A.He did perfectly well at the academy.
B.He began to earn his living after graduation.
C.He wanted to support his brother after graduation.
D.He created a great piece of work The Praying Hands.
