WHERE ARE WE GOING TODAY?
The Play Indoor Playground covers 2, 300 square feet. It has fun, colorful
entertaining and exciting toys and equipment for you to play with.
How about the inflatable
（可充气的）
obstacle course
？
Do you think you will be
able to walk around it as you re bouncing everywhere? Maybe you want to take a swim
in the ball pool.
The great thing about playing is being able to be creative and use your imagination.
You can be ANYTHING you want to be! How about being monkeys to hide out in the
tree house? You can climb up to the top of the tree house slide, and pretend to eat those
yummy bananas before sliding back down again. Or perhaps you want to be princesses,
sitting in the castle with your lovely long hair flowing out of the tower. You can use the
clothes in the princess dress-up trunk to really feel the part.
For the little ones, there is an infant section where they can play and experiment
with the toys at their own pace, away from the bigger kids, and there is also a Sony
Playstation area for the slightly bigger kids who want to try and beat their highest
scores and try the latest games.
Don’t worry! Parents are included too. They have an adult lounge furnished with
comfortable seating and a view of the play area so you can relax and know your child is
having a great time Cost.

Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching
elementary-age students “soft” skills like self-control and how to get along with others
might help to keep at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future.
Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than
7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and
parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students
were randomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which
included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and
lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade
through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(
少年犯罪
), arrests and use of health and
mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.
In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous
findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes
was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.
The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as
part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency
rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(
情绪的
) intelligence.
Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching
them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision.
Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even
more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should
do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education
policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in
delinquency.

What to DO for Education
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the poet, publisher, painter, social activist and
24．（8分）
bookstore owner, has been San Francisco’s honored poet. He turns 100 this month, and
the city is making preparations to celebrate him in style. Readings and performances
and an open house will take place at City Lights, the sacred bookstore he co-founded in
1953.
On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After
spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North
Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.
He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including
Poetry as Insurgent
Art
;
A Coney Island of the Mind
. He has translated the works of a number of poets,
including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry,
he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels, including
Little Boy
:
A
Novel
,
Love in the Days of Rage
and
Her
.
In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin opened the City Lights bookstore in San
Francisco, California. It became a nerve center for the Beats and other writers. Allen
Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other writers from that era were Easterners who dropped
into San Francisco for a spell. In 2001 it was made an official historic landmark. Now
City Lights is almost certainly the best bookstore in the United States. It’s filled with
serious world literature of all kinds.
If City Lights is a San Francisco institution, Ferlinghetti himself is as much of one.
He has loomed over the city’s literary life. As a poet, he’s never been a critical favorite.
But his flexible and plain-spoken and often powerful work — he has published more
than 50 volumes — has found a wide audience. His collection “
A Coney Island of the
Mind
” has sold more than 1 million copies, making it one of the best-selling American
poetry books ever published.

25．（10分）
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have
equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the
other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider
things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The
pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the
fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and
speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their
remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend
（
hurt
）
many people, and make
themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such
unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being
disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its
possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize
its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to
them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life
since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody
loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and
respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If
they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them
success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring
on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join
to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with
what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do
not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be
disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up
in their quarrels.
1
、
The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” in Para.2 most nearly
means_____.
A
．
have a good taste with social life
C
．
tend to scold others openly
B
．
make others unhappy
D
．
enjoy the pleasure of life
2
、
We can conclude from the passage that________.
A
．
we should pity all such unhappy people
B
．
such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C
．
unhappy people can not understand happy persons
D
．
people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have
equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the
other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider
things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The
pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the
fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and
speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their
remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend
（
hurt
）
many people, and make
themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such
unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being
disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its
possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize
its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to
them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life
since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody
loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and
respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If
they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them
success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring
on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join
to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with
what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do
not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be
disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up
in their quarrels.
