22、   If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly first. These are the words of Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm. Joel’s opinion is that we’ve all grown up with the expression “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” Personally, I grew up hearing it as “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.” Yet, as Joel says, nobody does it right the first time. Joel explained that it’s this kind of thinking that prevents us from innovating(创新) in our own lives. We’re frightened to death to try new things, because we think we have to get it right the first time.

This is an innovative farmer’s wisdom. It resonates(和……类似) well with what I’ve learned from master teachers as well as with research on perfectionism. Let me speak briefly of both of these.

I have been fortunate to have a number of mentors(导师) in my development as a teacher. One of my favorites is a retired biology teacher from the University of British Columbia, Lee Gass. Lee explained to me that it’s not until we know that we don’t know, it’s not until we admit our ignorance, even celebrate our ignorance, that we can learn anything at all!

When we learn to see that it is through admitting our ignorance and trying even though it won’t be perfect or even “right” the first time that we can learn anything, we really start living.

Some of the research stresses the harm of not taking this attitude in our pursuit(追求). Perfectionism is often said to be the enemy of the good. It’s also the enemy of even trying.

I for one take this farmer’s advice to heart. I do try my best to do things as well as I possibly can, but I recognize that it’s the creative process where we learn, if we stay at it long enough. If a job is worth doing, it’ s worth doing poorly first.

【1】What is Joel’s opinion about a job that is worth doing?

A．It is worth trying.

B．It is worth doing well.

C．It is worth doing right.

D．It is worth completing.

【2】What do Joel and Lee have in common?

A．Both of them are ignorant.

B．Both of them do a poor job.

C．Both of them love their jobs.

D．Both of them value ignorance.

【3】What is the finding of some of the research according to the text?

A．It’s impossible to be perfect.

B．It’s harmful to change your goal.

C．It’s dangerous to seek perfection.

D．It’s easy to become the enemy of the good.

【4】What does the author stress in the last paragraph?

A．The value of creation.

B．The benefit of learning.

C．The meaning of freedom.

D．The importance of a process.

23、Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.

Canada left the Britain in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.

Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.

The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example. Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels（标签）and instructions in both languages.

In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism（双语）means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten（幼儿园）or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 per cent of the teaching will continue to be in English.

【1】 How many provinces are there in Canada?

A. Ten B.Nine   C.Eleven D.Two

【2】Which country controlled Canada before its independence?

A. France.   B. Britain.   C. America. D. Germany.

【3】Which of the following sentences is Right?

A. English is the only official language, though French is also spoken there.

B. The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.

C. All products sold in Canada must be explained in both English and French.

D. In any restaurant in Canada, you can find French on the menu.

【4】In Canada’s English speaking provinces, what does official bilingualism means?

A. Students have to complete a special French language course.

B. Under the programme, the students are mainly taught in English.

C. If a student begins a special French language course, in kindergarten or Grade one all his lessons may be in French.

D. When the students are at junior high school, they will only be taught in English.

24、阅读理解。

Can you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd like to do, so I was relieved to read that there's a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!

The University of Reading, in England, has just opened a new clearing house for all the world's new cocoa varieties. They must be quarantined (进行检疫) before they can be grown. Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30% of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases. Now we don't want that, do we?

Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.

The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crop since 1985, after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London. And it has improved its facilities. The leader of the institution's cocoa project, Professor Paul Hadley, says, “One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean, healthy, interesting cocoa material.”

The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions. After up to two years in quarantine, clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries, including several in West Africa. That's where 75% of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from. The crop is extremely important for the local economy: it employs about two million people.

Professor Paul Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection. And more of us seem to count on them now.

The scientist says, “There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly, particularly in countries like China, where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds.

B．Planting cocoa seeds worldwide.

C．Keeping cocoa seeds in the greenhouse.

D．Finding the new market for cocoa.

【2】The institution's cocoa project is to ________.

A．have cocoa skin removed

B．offer more jobs to people

C．ensure the quality of cocoa

D．supply cocoa to two million people

【3】What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．The taste of chocolates is changing.

B．Demand for cocoa is increasing continually.

C．People are concerned about cocoa varieties.

D．Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.

【4】What's the purpose of the text?

A．To educate.     B．To advertise.

C．To warn.    D．To inform.
