8、eat thinkers and scientists, Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more
9、than 80 year ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain, the part that controls language is larger than the ri

However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males that in females, and it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexi
11、a, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a babys body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia.

In other words, we do not educate students only for the aim of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. Life is varied
16、; so is education.2 Ideas about education are more specified in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma
17、.3 Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones. Scientists, mechanics, secretaries, barbers and cooks can take classes to improve
18、their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.4 Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture re
19、pair, or swimming. There are only some of the classes available.5 Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.6 Almost any community college
20、or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evenings, so working people can attend.

24、ni-Skirts for LongerBritish women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of 40, according to research by Debenhams.Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt after the age of 33, the store said. “It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies
25、 and are happy to dress accordingly,“ it added in a statement. “If this trend continues, theres no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s and early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe.“The figures emerged when the store examined th
26、e latest age profile of women buying short, 36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of 36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old, a f
27、igure unchanged from the mid- 1960s.The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies for longer may be the reason, The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.The Debenhams study showed that
28、a modern womans love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesnt buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistband of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16
29、 and 19, reducing in size from 46 to 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 and 27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store sa
30、id.However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of 27 and 34, as those early relationships break down, and new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From
31、 then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee for the very first time since school days at the age of 42.(分数:15.00)(1).Debenhams could most possibly be _.(分数:3.00)A.a fashion magazineB.a lifestyle associationC.an expert on trendsD.a department store(2).According to the passag
32、e, British women are happy to wear mini-skirts up until an old age because of the following reasons EXCEPT _.(分数:3.00)A.women are more and more confident in their bodiesB.women nowadays pay much more attention to body building, and this provides them with well toned bodies to wear mini-skirtsC.the C

During the past 50 years, the rate of
37、divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that
38、in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity i
39、t once was. The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didnt have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they dont feel
40、 that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many coup
41、les now cohabit and dont bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive. The statistics are deceptive because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marri
42、ages than in first marriages.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isnt. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems
43、, and married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!(分数:15.00)(1).Which is true about the problem of marriage in the United States today?(分数:3.00)A.Divo
44、rce leads to the breakup of the family.B.Half of the married couples get divorced.C.American people marry more than four times.D.More and more people are getting divorce(2).What does “this is no longer the case“ in paragraph two mean?(分数:3.00)A.It is not necessary to get married any more.B.Women do
45、not need a husband any longer.C.Women are not economically dependant any more.D.Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.(3).Why may the outlook of marriage not be as gloomy as it appears?(分数:3.00)A.Many people still like to get married.B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.C.Over 50%
46、of the marriages continue to exist.D.The statistics of divorce is not quite tru(4).How do people usually feel in their marriage life?(分数:3.00)A.They are much healthier.B.They feel no longer single.C.They are more satisfied.D.They suffer a lot less.(5).Which of the following about marriage is NOT men
