   Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Quan Tangshi edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of about 48, 900 poems that were written by over 2, 200 poets. But it doesn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.

In the Tang Dynasty scholars(学者)had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems;women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.

Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle(奇迹)in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited(继承)Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by people of the Tang Dynasty. Philosophy, handwriting, painting, music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and the greatest achievement in the Tang Dynasty.

【小题1】It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A.there were more than 48, 900 poems written in the Tang Dynasty
B.in total there were four famous poets in the Tang Dynasty
C.only people of the Tang Dynasty created poems
D.in the Tang Dynasty most common people were poets
【小题2】The underlined word "adjacent" in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A.In the Tang Dynasty all poets were scholars.
B.In the Tang Dynasty poems were quite popular.
C.Many foreigners came to the east during the Tang Dynasty.
D.In the Tang Dynasty many poems were sung by women singers.
【小题4】What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A.The reasons for the poets to create poems in the Tang Dynasty.
B.Tang poetry, the greatest spiritual wealth in ancient China.
C.The significance and influence of Tang poetry.
D.The editors of Tang poetry in the Qing Dynasty.

Cursive (手写体)is about to become extinct. Do we raise the red flag? To teach or not to teach cursive is the question that several state education departments are struggling with.
Before you read this write-up $ do a simple exercise. Pick a pen and paper and start writing in cursive. Yes,that fancy handwriting that you learned in grade school. You may not have forgotten the good times you had while writing loopy Ps and Gs as well as curly Ms and Ns. However,the chances are that you won't be able to write it as excellently as you used to. Some people are good at making the perfect loops and curls,while some are bad. I am still terrible at it.
Cursive is hardly used by kids anymore as even adults don 't write in this style,unless they are using it for their signature. Learning this handwriting was a usual practice in school for several dec­ades. However,in 2011, the Indiana Department of Education made it optional (可选择的)for schools to teach cursive writing to the students. In fact, there were 46 more states who have done the same. There are some who believe that it is high time for cursive to retire from school curriculum. After all,if we don ’ t leave the past behind,we cannot make way for new things. If you walk into any classroom,you would find children using keyboards to communicate in written form. On the other hand,fans of this cursive insist on its usefulness. They remind us that if we stop teaching and learn­ing cursive in schools,very soon most of our historical documents will become hard to us.
Where do we stand on this subject? Is it the right time to erase an almost forgotten handwriting and live in the keyboarding world? Or can we do both without compromising (妥协)on our school curriculum? Let me know your thoughts on this matter by leaving a comment in the section below.
【小题1】People use cursive when they
A.give their signatureB.are in Indiana
C.grow up as adultsD.are at school
【小题2】In Indiana school, children
A.must learn cursive
B.are interested in cursive
C.can choose to learn cursive
D.learn cursive everyday
【小题3】It can be inferred that the author
A.prefers to learn cursive
B.is a cursive teacher
C.welcomes people to show their opinions
D.is a very famous expert in education
【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is Cursive Writing Necessary?
B.Is Keyboarding World Good?
C.A Keyboarding World
D.Advantages of Cursive

   If anyone knows what makes a great children's book,it must be Sussex author and illustrator(插图画家)Jane Hissey. Her "Old Bear" books have achieved classic status in a variety of formats.

I met Jane at her home in the East Sussex countryside and asked her what she thought the secret of a classic children's book was. "That's a difficult one, I suppose it has got to be related to children's stage of development-for young children, pictures on a page that are familiar; for older children, an experience. The book should be familiar, but hold some surprises too to keep the interest. It must inspire and delight them, but there are the things that happen every day."

After the birth of her first child, she gave up teaching and worked on her own artwork, drawing pictures of teddy bears. An editor from a publishing company saw her work and invited Jane to do a children's book. Over the years, from the first "Old Bear" book in 1986, her children have made a huge contribution-especially in terms of plots. She said, "I used to give my children the toys to play with-and they had tea parties and so on. One of my bear characters,' Little Bear', is the same age as Ralph, my youngest, who's seven now. All the children have joined in my work and, in years to come, they will realize how much."

"I hope I'll know when people are getting tired of the characters. If ever they did, I think I'd go on drawing them for fun," Jane continued. "My own children have been very useful to me in my work, but as they are older now, I' ll just have to hope that other people's children can inspire me."

【小题1】What is Jane's opinion about a successful children's book?
A.It contains something unexpected.
B.It offers an escape from everyday life.
C.It's more attractive as children get older.
D.It's set in a place known to its readers.
【小题2】Why did Jane take up writing books?
A.She got to know an editor.
B.She hoped to make classic children's books.
C.Her artwork attracted a professional.
D.She wrote stories for her own children.
【小题3】How did Jane's children assist her in her work?
A.By helping her concentrate on her work.
B.By telling her their own stories.
C.By suggesting characters for her stories.
D.By giving her ideas for her stories.
【小题4】What is Jane's attitude towards her future work?
A.Encouraged.B.Uncertain.
C.Tired.D.Disappointed.

Dear Editor(编辑),
I used to be a doctor in a children’s hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned(中毒)by medicines for older family members. The children didn’t know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily opened the bottle that we now use in China.
Some days ago I talked about medicine with an American. He showed me a kind of plastic bottle. The design was very quite simple and I’m sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle locks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily.
I’m certain that the price of making such tops would be very low. As a doctor, I’d love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful.
Yours,
Li Hua
【小题1】The writer’s job in the hospital was mainly to________.

   Isaac Asimov is one of the most famous science fiction(科幻小说)writers of all time. He moved from Russia to the United States in 1923.He was a teacher at Boston University and began writing science fiction stories in 1939.His most famous works are the Foundation books and the Robot stories. He died in 1992 at the age of 72.

"There are not many people who have invented a useful scientific term,and although I did it unknowingly,I am not going to let anyone in the world forget it,"said Isaac Asimov. He was talking about the word "robotics" —the study of robot behaviour.

Asimov wrote several stories about robots between 1940 and 1990.One of the special features of the robots in these stories was that they were programmed to follow the Three Laws of Robotics.

The First Law: A robot must not hurt a human being,or allow a human being to be hurt.

The Second Law: A robot must obey orders by human beings unless these orders conflict(冲突)with the First Law.

The Third Law: A robot must protect itself unless this conflicts with the First or Second Law.

In Asimov's stories,the robots must follow these laws so that they do not attack the humans that created them.

Some scientists think the Three Laws of Robotics are hard to realise in real life. On the other hand,some say that the laws are great for science fiction but completely useless in real life. For example,if the laws really worked,robots couldn't be used in wars,as this would break the First Law. Since the army is one of the biggest supporters for robotic research,it is very unlikely that an attempt to follow these rules will happen.

According to Asimov,one thing is certain:"Robots are changing the world and driving it in directions we cannot clearly foresee(预见)."

【小题1】At Boston University, Isaac ________.
A.learned to write stories
B.started to write science fiction stories
C.taught the writing of science fiction stories
D.invented a robot for writing
【小题2】According to some scientists, the Three Laws of Robotics are ________.
A.boringB.important

C.in the armyD.in the writing
