21、 Tests are not fun—but they’re necessary．But in places like Colorado, Connecticut and New York, we’re seeing a new and problematic movement within public education to convince parents to pull their children from participating in any standardized testing．They’re opting out of（决定退出）the exams designed to measure how well our schools are teaching our children.

Let’s look at why some parents are opting out．The most common argument is that standardized testing takes too much classroom time away from instruction．Yes, in too many schools and in too many districts, there is an overemphasis on testing．As a parent, I understand that problem．My daughter came home from public school one day and said class was easy now that “the test” was over．And I thought, “What are we communicating to our kids if they think the test is the most important thing—and once it’s over, learning ends?”

Those test-crazed districts need to change．But a new study by Teach Plus, an organization that advocates for students in urban schools, found that on average, in grades three and seven, just 1.7 percent of classroom time is devoted to preparing for and taking standardized tests．That’s not shocking at all．Most people spend a larger percentage of their waking day choosing an outfit to wear or watching TV.

We also shouldn’t accept the false argument that testing restricts educators too much, stifles innovation(革新) in the classroom or takes the joy out of teaching．That line of thought assumes that the test is the be-all and end-all—and if that’s the perspective, the joy is already long gone．Teachers enter this profession because they care about kids, believe each one has the ability to succeed and want to teach far beyond minimum proficiency．The most valuable teachers are those who impart knowledge, not just information, and do so in a way that engages students and makes school interesting.

“Okay,” the opt-out crowd replies, “what about kids who are stressed out and suffering from anxiety because of standardized tests?” You know what? Life can be stressful; it can be challenging．The alternative is to hand out prizes just for participating, give out straight A’s for fear of damaging a kid’s ego—and continue to fall further and further behind as a country．I reject that mind-set(心态).

Rather than encouraging parents to opt out of testing, it would be much more productive for the leaders of this distracting movement to help improve the assessments．Make the exams more reflective of student learning．Ultimately, students and educators need test data—opting out does harm to both．And it risks endangering the progress that all of our children need.

【1】The author uses her daughter’s example to show ________.

A．some schools overemphasize testing

B．her daughter is not a good student

C．the test is most important

D．the quality of tests should be limited

【2】The underlined word “stifles” in paragraph 4 can best be replaced by ________.

C．is more important than praise

D．affects children’s development

22、Dear Miss Manners，

Friends of mine lost their home in a house fire．It was terrible．Another friend set up a "go fund me" type page for friends and funnily to donate and help the couple．Many friends, including me, helped with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while 'they were getting back on their feet．

Last week, they sent thank-you notes．My roommate received one addressed to her and I did not  The notes were not in modularized; it was a printed one-size-fits-all message．My roommate realized I didn't receive a thank you, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out．I didn't know she had done this until later．

The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me!（Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes themselves!）It was accompanied by a picture of the thank-you note, which was texted to me with- the message, "Here is a thank you just for you. "

I was a little annoyed．I helped them in their fume of need and didn't get a second thought．I have not responded to her text message．Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over? Should I tell her that I am upset, or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?

23、History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A great breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.

Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced while you are dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.

Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.

【1】The main idea of this passage is that ________.

A．very little is really known about the meaning of dreams

B．it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleep

C．dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problems

D．Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses

【2】The first paragraph is mainly organized by ________.

A．classifying types of experiments

B．summarizing the work of one researcher

C．comparing and exploring historical cases

D．telling in time order about one man’s research

【3】If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have ________.

A．taken it seriously

B．thought it was a ridiculous idea

C．tested it

D．doubted it

【4】The author probably thinks that ________.

A．dreaming is a better way than taking notes in scientific research

B．if we want to be creative, we must make use of our dreams

C．nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideas

D．dreaming is surely a good way to produce a new solution.

【5】The underlined word “retiring” in the third paragraph most probably means ________.

A．going to sleep

B．giving up your job

C．having a break

D．thinking of a solution
