However, history is quite fascinating and interesting. Read out the very interesting and fun facts from History.‎ Shorted War Ever ‎ England and Zanzibar holds the title of shorted war in the world of history. They fought in the year 1896 and the war lasted only for 38 minutes, where Zanzibar gave in to England.‎ Longest Reign ‎ Pepi II is the only emperor who ruled Egypt for the longest reign in the history ever until now. The period of his reign was from 2566 BC to 2476 BC.‎ Guards of Great Wall of China ‎ Few of you may realize that one of the Seven Wonders of the World—the Great Wall of China, is protected by special guards. This group of men not just guarded the Great Wall of China, but also devoted their lives to it. The group lived there from birth to death. They grew up, worked as guards, got married, had children whose duty was also to keep guard, and died there. In fact, the dead guards were buried in the wall itself.‎ Funny Fact ‎ Romans had some unique practices and traditions.

The History Events in The Ancient Ages B Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.‎ My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.‎ I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student ( 技校学生 ). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.‎ When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”‎ I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).‎ ‎ But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I ‎ had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.‎ ‎ My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts ( 零件）from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.‎ Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him. ‎ These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. ‎ I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else. ‎ My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.‎ ‎24. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?‎ A. To avoid becoming his clone. ‎ B. To resemble him in appearance.‎ C. To develop in a different direction. ‎ D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.‎ ‎25. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that_______.‎ A. His son had the ability to fix it.‎ B. it would save him much time.‎ C. it wouldn’t cause him any more loss D. other motorheads would come to help.‎ ‎26. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are _______.‎ A. tidy and hardworking B. cheerful and smart C. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude ‎27. What did the author realize in the end?‎ A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.‎ B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.‎ C. Architects play a more important role than builders.‎ D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.‎ C ‎ Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.‎ But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying.‎ As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re able to take in lots of new and exciting information. Apart from that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, he or she is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they ‎ wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach! ‎ Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.‎ ‎28. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_______.‎ ‎ A. new materials learned from teachers ‎ B. ways to develop relationship with teachers ‎ C. benefits in getting along with teachers ‎ D. avoiding problems happening around kids ‎29. What’s the writer’s attitude towards getting along with teachers?‎ ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Uncaring. D. Favorable.‎ ‎30. What can we know from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Kids are unable to understand lots of exciting information.‎ ‎ B. Kids are bullied while communicating with others in schools.‎ ‎ C. Kids will leave the class when not doing quite well with their teachers.‎ ‎ D. Kids will leave the class when not satisfied with teachers’ teaching methods.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】31. The passage is most probably taken from______.‎ ‎ A. children’s literature . B. an education magazine ‎ C. a science report D. an advertisement D Six years ago, Gracie escaped from my boyfriend’s backyard around 2:00 p.m. We searched the neighborhood for hours but had no luck. She was gone. By dark, we returned home, exhausted. On the second day, I called the animal shelter. Nothing. I felt lost, defeated.‎ ‎ If I knew Gracie had been killed, I would have been heartbroken. If I knew she was caught somewhere, I would rescue her. If I knew she had found a better home, I would be sad yet relieved. But how do I deal with the unknown? Pray? Wait patiently? Search endlessly? Give up?‎ ‎ The third day, while I was searching in the woods with my friend Rhea, I confessed that losing Gracie was like losing faith in everything. Rhea’s smiled and said, “ You know, maybe Gracie’s on a great adventure.” It seems strange, but I felt better then. Rhea’s words reminded me of what, as a writer, I definitely have faith in : the power of story.‎ ‎ As one writer said, all we have is stories. It’s what holds our life together. We call some stories science , some stories myth, but imagine hearing for the first time that the world may be round or that solid matter is mostly hollow. Such stories only become real when we believe them. And some stories are never supported with scientific fact, but they still seem to hold true.‎ ‎ So why not imagine now, as Rhea suggested, that she was off on an adventure exploring her wolf side?‎ ‎ The fourth day started with me finding a coin on the sidewalk. I’d always thought of finding money as a good sign. And I was convinced it meant Gracie would come home on the fifth day. I guess it was another story to hold on to.‎ ‎ 32. When Gracie was found missing, ________.‎ A. the author blamed her boyfriend severely ‎ B. the author knew it was difficult to find it C. the author felt worried and heartbroken D. the author was too exhausted to hunt for it ‎33. It can be learned from the second paragraph that _______.‎ A. the author was convinced the dog never returned ‎ C. the author raised suspicions about her boyfriend’s neighbors B. the author was really at a loss what she should do D. the author decide to turn to others for help ‎34. Hearing what Rhea had said, the author _________.‎ A. decided to change his former thinking ‎ B. believed his Gracie took interest in adventure C. thought Rhea played a big joke on him D. hoped to use a story to get his Gracie back ‎35. what will be followed with the passage ?‎ A. The author had a book about Gracie published.‎ B. The author make scientific research about dogs C. The author would never raise a dog from then.‎ D. The author would get good news about Gracie 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.‎ Tricks to Remember Words Memorizing new vocabulary can seem like a difficult task at first, but if you use some strategies you will find your vocabulary expanding rapidly.‎ Break It Down One key to memorization success is to attempt a manageable workload.
