I never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our
librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters
was on signs hung everywhere If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight
back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.
My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway She wished me to have my own library card to check
out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my
permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said.
Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on
the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and
needed another to start. You could take out two books at time and two only. So two by two,I read
library books as fast as I could go: rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the
minute reached our house, I started to read. knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time.
My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now I think of her as reading so much of the time while
doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a
game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right
time, long enough to answer-in character - “The better to eat you with, my dear,” and go back to
her place in the magazine article.
21. Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway?
A. Quiet. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Considerate.
22. What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway.
C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules.
23. Where is the text probably from?
A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography.
C. A news report. D. A book review.
B
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is road testing a new way to keep winter roads ice-free -by spreading on
them cheese brine, the salty liquid used to make soft cheeses, like mozzarella.
Wisconsin, also called “America’s Dairyland,” is famous for its cheese. The state produced 2.8
billion pounds of cheese last year! As a result, there was a lot of leftover cheese brine. Disposing
of（处置）the brine can be expensive. So what should cheese makers do with the waste?
Normally, towns use rock salt to de-ice streets. The salt lowers water’s freezing point, causing ice
to melt（融化）. But using cheese brine could help both cheese producers and cities save money,
while keeping roads safe Cheese brine has salt in it, which, like the rock salt, helps lower water’s
freezing point.
In addition to saving money, cheese brine could also be a more eco-friendly option. Many people
suspect that all the rock salt used every winter is harming the environment.
Rock salt is made of sodium chloride, the same compound（化合物）in ordinary table salt.
Sounds harmless, right? But while you probably add only a small amount of salt to your food,
road crews spread about 20 million tons of salt on U. S. roads every year！
The chemical washes off roads and goes into the ground. There it can pollute drinking water,
harm
plants, and eat away soil. By spreading cheese brine on streets before adding a layer of rock
salt, Milwaukee may be able to cut its rock salt use by 30 percent.
Cheese brine has a downside too a smell similar to that of bad milk. “I don’t really mind it,” Emil
Norby told Modern Farmer magazine. He works for one of Wisconsin’s county highway
commissions and came up with the idea of using cheese brine. “Our roads smell like Wisconsin!”
he said.
24. Why can cheese brine help keep winter roads ice-free?
A. It is soft. B. It contains salt.
C. It is warm. D. It has milk in it.
25. What is benefit of using cheese brine on roads?
A. Improving air quality. B. Increasing sales of rock salt.
C. Reducing water pollution. D. Saving the cheese industry.
26. Milwaukee’s new way to de-ice streets may be an example of __________.
A. barking up the wrong tree B. putting the cart before the horse
C. robbing Peter to pay Paul D. killing two birds with one stone
C
Today’s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence
（毅力）, characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from
Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent
children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following
325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers
led to higher achievement in school.
“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This
research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence -- which can be taught -- are
key to a child’s life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting style. Authoritative
parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting
style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their
father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed;children are given an appropriate
level of autonomy（自主权）.
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative
parenting. key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were
significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
