(A)AA teacher from America visited a school in China. In one class, she watched sixty children learn to draw a cat. The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and sixty children copied it on their paper. The teacher drew a small one on the top of the big one and then put two small triangles （三角形）on the top of it. The children drew in the same way. The lesson went on until there were sixty-one cats in the classroom. Each student’s cat looked exactly the same as that on the blackboard.The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teacher methods were different from those in her country. A children’s art lesson i n her country produced a lot of pictures, and each one is quite different from the others. Why? What makes this difference in educational methods? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches more than art or history or language.In a country such as the United States or Canada, students are asked to work and find answers by themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas. In countries such as China and Japan, students often work together and help each other in the classroom, but the teachers teach, and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook, do the same homework and give the same answers.( )31. Which of the following looks like the cat on the blackboard?A B C D( )32. The students in ______ are helped to find answers by themselves.A. JapanB. ChinaC. AmericaD. Japan & China( )33.

The writer of the passage thinks that the students should ________.A. have the same answers as their teacherB. learn knowledge by themselvesC. learn the same textbook.D. be asked to memorize a lot(B)There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts (专家) use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.“When we say some people ‘sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts.” said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste.”In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character－whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their tast e for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.( )36. The underlined word "it" refers to .A. the sweet foodB. the eating habitC. the American teamD. the English saying( )37.

If people want to be kind or friendly, they can try some sweet food.( )40. It can be learnt from the passage that .A. scientists asked college students questions about their futureB. scientists told college students not to eat sweet foodC. people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help othersD. people's character has nothing to do with their taste(C)Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s, but didn't get popular until the end of last century.
