6．Teachers fear traditional playground games like British bulldog and conkers are disappearing from many of England's schools，a survey suggests．
More than a quarter （29%） of the 653school staff surveyed by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers （ATL） said the chasing game，British bulldog，had been banned from their school．Some 14% said pupils were banned from playing conkers and 9% said leapfrog．Most （57%） said they felt schools were becoming increasingly risk averse （厭惡）．
Around 15% of teachers，lecturers，support staff and school leaders said that fewer playground games and sports activities were played at their school than three years ago．
The key reasons for the decrease were fewer staff on hand to monitor activities，reduced funding（資金） and concerns over pupil safety．
Teachers were also questioned about changes in attitude towards risk．Some 57% of staff said there was a growing trend towards risk aversion in schools．
And of the 383staff who thought schools were more risk averse，90% said it controlled activities both in and out of school．Some 84% think it limits the school curriculum（課程），while 83% believe risk aversion puts a brake on pupils'preparation for life．
A head teacher at a primary school in Cleveland said："All staff recognise the need to keep children safe，but not all recognise that children still need to take measured risks to develop real life skills．"
"Children are allowed to explore their physical limits and learn to negotiate physical tasks at their own pace．Staff have clear guidelines and children have clear boundaries，"the teacher added．
Another high school teacher，from Wales，said："In fact，pupils need to learn their own limitations，which they can't do if they don't meet with risks．"And there continues to be fears that，should something go wrong，school trips could end in teachers or schools being charged．

56．From the first two paragraphs we learn thatD．
A．teachers express concern over pupil safety
B．schools tend to introduce new games to replace bulldog games
C．pupils become more and more unwilling to take risks

14．Rice is an important part of many people's diets．Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Massachusetts have released a report about rice．It shows that eating white rice increases the risk of Type Two diabetes （糖尿病）．However，eating brown rice reduces the risk of the disease．
The World Health Organization says more than two hundred and twenty million people worldwide have diabetes．Type Two diabetes results when the body cannot effectively use the sugar it produces．
    More than thirty-nine thousand men and one hundred and fifty-seven thousand women took part in the study．They were asked about their diet and day-to-day activities，as well as any pre-existing diseases．The study found that the people who ate five or more servings of white rice per week had a seventeen percent increased risk of developing Type Two diabetes．But those who ate two or more servings of brown rice a week had an eleven percent reduced risk of getting the disease．
   Brown rice is the grain in its natural form．White rice results after it has been refined．This involves removing the outer cover．Only the inner white kernel is left．White rice is often enriched to replace some nutrients lost during the refining process．
   Qi Sun is the lead writer of the report．He says the outer parts of brown rice slow down the work of the body's digestive enzymes （消化酶） into starch．This means that the release of sugar into the bloodstream is slower after eating brown rice compared to white rice．
   A diet of foods that quickly release sugar into the bloodstream has been linked with a greater risk of Type Two diabetes．The exact reason for this is not known．
   Doctor Sun says less refined grains have more nutritional value than refined grains．He says replacing white rice with whole grains like whole wheat or barley could result in a thirty-six percent lower chance of developing Type Two diabetes．He says people should replace white rice and other refined carbohydrates with whole grains whenever possible．
   However，brown rice does not last as long as white rice because of the oil-rich layer of bran．This makes it less usable in poor communities．The International Rice Research Institute is working to develop kinds of white rice whose starch is released more slowly．
63．What is the exact reason of Type Two diabetes？D
A．Eating too much white rice
B．Sugar in the bloodstream．
C．digestive enzymes in the starch
D．It is still unknown to us．
64．What does the underlined word"refined"in the fourth paragraph mean？A
A．Processed
B．Cut
C．Struck
D．Developed．
65．Which of the following is true？C
A．White rice has more nutritional value than whole grains．
B．The oil-rich layer of bran can prevent the brown rice from going bad．
C．Eating brown rice may reduce the risk of developing Type Two diabetes．
D．The outer cover of brown rice will speed the release of sugar into the bloodstream．
66．What's the best title of the passage？C
A．The importance of rice                       
B．Brown rice and white rice       
C．Diabetes and rice eating                     
D．Sugar and diabetes．

1．Federal Hocking High School in Stewart，Ohio，draws its 360students from a 270-square-mile rural area of the state's southeast corner．
In the early 1990s，teachers and students were not at all motivated．The school，says social studies teacher Deborah Burk，was sticking to the 19th-century concept of dividing the day into 42-minute periods （still common in many schools across the country），with each period counted as a credit toward graduation．Back then，Burk says，students focused more on the clock than on what she was saying．They weren't entirely to blame．The system，she felt，didn't let her do much beyond repeating the same lectures over and over：There wasn't time to challenge students to research into details．"You couldn't analyze their progress--or even think about it．"
In 1992，Dr．George H．Wood，an Ohio University education professor who'd never run a high school，was named principal．He asked students for their ideas，organized visits to programs around the country，and met frequently with staff．The result：Time passed quickly．With some arm-twisting of superintendents and state lawmakers，F(xiàn)ederal Hocking moved from the tiresome credit system to a less-is-more schedule tied to four 80-minute classes．"We decided，"Wood says，"to teach fewer things better．"In American history，for example，the emphasis changed from devoting equal time to every era to focusing on big events．
The school developed its own credit system based on important studies but added other requirements--a senior portfolio，and a yearlong project created by the students that's not always linked directly to their coursework．Project topics range from writing a world-foods cookbook to the restoration of an old tractor．Graduation based just on racking up a set number of credits was no longer possible．
Other changes followed．The seven-minute daily homeroom period--basically an attendance call--was replaced by an hour-long advisory meeting every Wednesday morning．Each teacher advises the same 14or 15kids through high school．Wood，meanwhile，never lowered his strict academic standards．"Everybody here reads Shakespeare，Emerson and Thoreau，"he says，"even kids who are going to be mechanics．"
Teacher Tim Arnold says the schedule changes had an effect similar to the flipping（彈開(kāi)）of a switch："The pressure was released．Instead of looking at the clock，we could look at the students．On the first day we all went‘Wow!That was cool．'"
Between the 1995-96and 2003-04school years，the percentage of the school's ninth-graders that passed Ohio's math proficiency test rose from 50percent to 85percent．Passing grades in reading shot from 69percent to 96percent．And honors diplomas jumped from 8percent to 20percent．"We don't focus on test scores，"Wood says，"but it's clear that if you pay attention to the overall culture of the school，the test scores will rise．"
Problems of the school in the pastThe（71）division of the day into 42-minute periods
（72）Repeatingthe same teaching content again and again
No time to challenge students to（73）carryout research into details

11．A popular saying goes，"Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me．"However，that's not really true．Words have the power to build us up or tear us down．It doesn't matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just lasting．
We all talk to ourselves sometimes．We're usually too embarrassed to admit it，though．However，we really shouldn't be，because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves our loud is a healthy habit．
This"self-talk"helps us motivate（激發(fā)）ourselves，remember things，solve problems，and calm ourselves down．Be aware，though，that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative．So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves．We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back．The next time you finish a project，do well on a test，or finally clean your room，join me in saying，"Good job!"
Often，words came out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have； but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others．For example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchange．And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner．Or we can use harsh（苛刻的），critical language，which will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive．
Words possess power because of their lasting effects．Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves； Is it true？Is it loving？Is it needed？If what we want to say doesn't pass these tests，then it's better left unsaid．
Words possess power：both positive and negative．Those people around us receive encouragement when we speak positively．We can offer hope，build self-esteem（自尊） and motivate
others to do their best．Negative words destroy all those things．Will we use our words to hurt or to heal？The choice is ours．

50．The author argues in the first paragraph thatB．
A．words will never hurt us at all      B．words have lasting effects on us
C．inspiring words give us confidence   D．negative words may let us down
51．Why should we not feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves？A
A．Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health．
B．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself．
C．Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems．
D．It does harm to have"self-talk"when we are alone．
52．The underlined phrase"give ourselves a pat on the back"in Paragraph 3means"D．"
A．blame ourselves           B．punish ourselves
C．talk to ourselves         D．praise ourselves
53．Which of the following statements would the author agree to？C
A．Unkind words are unlikely to be forgotten．
B．Positive words may destroy all the good relations．
C．It is better to think twice before talking to others．
D．Kind words are sure to cause unfavorable responses．
