A
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 m
e. “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 a 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 I reached our house, I started to read. I 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
H
ood” 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.
D. Fear of the library rules.
C. Interest in games.

23. Where is the text probably from?
A. A guidebook.

C. A news report.







B. An autobiography.
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 real
ly
mind
it,”

Emil
Norby
told
Modern
Farmer
magazine.
He
works
for
one
of
Wisconsin’s

county highway commissions and came up with the idea o
f 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.

C. It is warm.










B. It contains salt.



D. It has milk in it.
25. What is a 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
),
a
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.
“
T
here 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. A 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.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two- parent homes. Yet the
researchers
suggest
that
single
parents
still
may
play
a
role
in
teaching
the
benefits
of
persistence, which is an avenue of future research.
27. What is special about the BYU professors’ study?



A. It centered on fathers’
role in parenting.
B. It was based on a number of large families.
C. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D. It aimed to im
prove kids’ achievement in schoo
l.
28. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?
A. Ignore their demands.
C. Control their behaviors.


B. Make decisions for them.
D. Explain the rules to them.
29. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?
A. Single parents.
C. Authoritarian fathers.


B. Children aged from 11 to 14.
D. Mothers in two-parent homes.
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers
B. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future
C. Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father
D. Family Relationship Influences School Performance

Let’s take a minute to think
about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and
we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen
and fill a glass with clean water.
