Gencalogy,or researching your family tree,is a hobby that can rapidly develop into an obsession.Before you start looking for your own ancestors,read this advice from genealogist Maria Mcleod.
The first question to ask yourself is why you want to research your family tree.Genealogy 1s n0t about discovering that you are the lost prince or princess of an unknown kingdom.It's about finding more about yourself.For most people the important question is"Why am I like I am?"You might not look like other members of your immediate family and you want to know where your green eyes or curly hair come from.You may be curious about why you have such a quick temper.You may even be suffering from a medical condition and want to know if something in your genetic makeup has caused it.
Another common motivation for researching your family tree is that you plan to visit the place that your ancestors came from and you secretly hope that you will find some long lost cousins with whom you can share your memories.There can be few more exciting things than meeting a distant cousin who is living on the other side of the globe and finding that she looks just like your younger sister,But you should also bear in mind that they may not necessarily want to have anything to do with you.Sometimes there are skeletons in the cupboard that you and your branch of the family are unaware of, but which are still fresh in the minds of your more distant relatives.
Once you are clear about your motivations,you need to take a moment to think about just how many ancestors you might have and how far back you intend to go. You have,no doubt,thought about your parents' parents and your parents' parents' parents.But go back ten generations and the picture becomes much more complicated.You can work it out for yourself.You may be descended(遗传）from no fewer than 1,024 people through ten generations.This can mean that you spend hours going through official records,either in person at the records office or on the Internet.Are you prepared for such huge task?
24.What might be Maria Mcleod's first piece of advice be?
A.Be prepared to accept your bad temper.
B.Don't expect to find lovely relatives.
C.Be prepared to find out your hidden health problems.
D.Don't expect to find out you are a member of a royal family.
25.Why are some relatives unwilling to meet you?
A.You may bring back bad memories.
B.They find it disturbing to entertain you.
C.They suspect you of having wrong motives.
D.You could remind them of their lost loved ones.
26.What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Who your great grandparents are.
B.When you can finish your huge task.
C.Why researching a family tree is complex.
D.How many people you are descended from.
27.What is the best title for the text?
A.Uncovering family secrets:do you dare?
B.The science of genealogy:new developments
C.Expert opinions on researching your family past
D.A step-by-step guide to researching your family tree

While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer,few would say that we've＂summered.""Summer"is clearly a noun,more precisely,a verbed noun.
Way back in our childhood,we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb.With such a tidy definition,it was easy to spot the difference.Not so in adulthood,where we are expected to"foot" bills,“chair"committees,and“dialogue"with political opponents.Chances are you didn't feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.
＂The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,"says Patricia O' Conner,a former editor at The New York Times Book Review.Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns.And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing.Since 1900,about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.
Even though conversion(转化）is quite universal,plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr.and E.B.White,in The Elements of Style-the Bible for the use of American English-have this to say:"Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs.Not all are bad, but all are suspect."The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint,advising writers to use verbs with great care.
＂Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,"says O' Conner.That's why we're comfortable"hosting"a party,but we might feel upset by the thought of ＂medaling"in sports.So are there any rules for verbing?Benjamin Dreyer,copy chief at Random House,doesn't offer a rule,but suggests that people think twice about"verbifiing"a noun if it's easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb.Make sure it's descriptive but not silly-sounding.he says.
In the end,however,style is subjective.Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries;it is one of the processes that make English"English."Not every coinage(新创的词语）passes into general use,but as for trying to end verbing altogether,forget it.
28.What can we learn about the verbing of nouns?
A.It hasn't recently been opposed by many grammarians.
B.It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.
C.It hasn't been a rare phenomenon in the past century.
D.It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice
29.What is most leading experts' attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns?
A.Cautious.
B.Satisfied.
C. Disappointed.
D. Unconcerned.
30.What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?
A. Predictable.
B.Practicable.
C.Approaching.
D.Impossible.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Are 40 Percent of All New Verbs from Nouns?
B.Are Summering and Medaling Annoying?
C.How Do You Make a New Verb?
D.Are There Any Rules for Verbing?
D
Here's something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help:struggling with schoolwork on your own can help you learn.According to a recent study,the more you struggle while you are learning new information,the better you can remember it later.
This theory might surprise you.When teachers are presenting new information,they often give students lots of help.But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning."Don't be too quick to get help when learning something new,"education expert Manu Kapur told TFK."Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways."
Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning.Then he tested it out on students in Singapore.He separated students into two groups.In the first group,students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher's help.In the second group,students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another,instead of getting help from the teacher.
With the teacher's help,students in the first group were able to find the correct answers.Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly.But they did come up with a lot of good ideas.The students were then tested on what they had learned.The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help.Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process,not just the solution.
Kapur's advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help."Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won't work,"says Kapur."The struggle needs to be a genuine attempt to figure out or solve a problem in as many ways as possible."
32.What had you better do when you have doubt on schoolwork?
A.Ask your teacher for help
B.Make it clear by yourself
C.Ask your classmates to help you
D.Ask your parents for help
33.What's Manu Kapur educational idea on learning new knowledge?
A.Give students much help as soon as possible.
B.Let students learn it on themselves in one way.
C.Let students learn it by themselves in the same way.
D. Let students learn it for themselves in different ways.
34.How did Kapur check his idea on better learning?
A.By asking questions.
B.By solving art problems.
C. By group comparations.
D.By solving science problems.
35.What is most important in learning knowledge?.
A.Getting the teacher's help.
B.Getting the student's help.
C.Grasping the learning course.
D.Receiving the final solution.

Experience-Based Education
Everyone is familiar with traditional education.You sit in a class and a teacher teaches.This is' an important part of development.But at some point,every individual has to take charge of their own education.To do this,one must look at the root of learning.36
37 This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.And we are in a better state to learn something new.Honestly,someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned.However,new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.
High school is a new experience.College is a new experience.However,at some point traditional education becomes repetitive.It is not that you won't learn anything else,but that the environment is so familiar.38
To solve this,an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life.You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error.You can also go to a drive-in movie(or some other entertainment event that is new to you.39
These types of experiences often result in very little"book knowledge". Instead,they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations. 40 It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others.Becoming a well- rounded human isn't something that happens by accident.You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential.
A.Has education changed so much in the last decade?
B.They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.
C.Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.
D.These are all things that can stretch and expand your experience in life.
E.Basically,unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.
F.As a result,you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.
G.What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not?

Dear students,
Welcome back to school!Over the past few months,the novel coronavirus has made its way around China.It has such a strong impact on our life and study. Although the virus has been under control temporarily,it is still necessary to call on everybody to do a good job in personal protection.
First of all, wash you hands frequently and drink more water.When talking to others,you had better keep a safe distance and don't take your face mask off, which is beneficial to yourself and others.What's more,avoid going to crowded places.If you go to the dinning hall or the bathroom,it's essential to obey the orders and line https://www.wendangku.net/doc/db8356892.html,st but not the least,don't believe rumors,don't panic.
As a famous saying goes,“Winter is coming,can spring far behin d?"As long as we work together to scientifically prevent and cut off the transmission channels,we will be perfectly healthy.Let's join hands and prepare for a promising future.
