10、k of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too that is why it made November 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.But first, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, “Tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon
11、 each others fool that is the first law of nature.”Very often, people do not realize that they are intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is
12、intolerant because men do not put themselves in the shoes of women.It is worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we are speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone is not necessarily a very respectful thing
13、. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there is something wrong with them.Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That is the reason we should be tolerant. It is a little like generosity. We can give things to another person

CThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of ne
18、w technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful both in school a
19、nd in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to comp
20、lete various writing tasks both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling pla
21、ys in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berni
22、nger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Bern
23、inger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grad
24、e level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”8. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A. The absence of blackboard in classroom. B. The use of new technologies in teaching.C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular
25、 use of smartphones.9. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling improves ones memory of words. B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.10
26、. What does “minds eye” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Window. B. Soul. C. Picture. D. Imagination.11. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A. Computers can help people with their choice of words. B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in todays c
27、lassrooms.D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.DThe production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown product
28、ion to full-sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the worlds ecological balance.On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the areas birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds an
29、d other species(物种) that depend on the trees flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁) human life. Medical research ofte
30、n makes use of the forests plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the worlds groundwater.Both locally and globally, the co
31、ntinued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the worlds climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the ne
32、w growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.12. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A.
