Harare,says that Hammy,a squirrel,climbed into her tied-up hair one day and decided to stay.The schoolgirl and her friend have been together for two months.

Hammy was just about ten days old when he was found on the cold office floor of the Bally Vaughan Wildlife Sanctuary.Abby’s mother,Debbie Putterill,who co-owns the park with her husband,Gordon,took the baby back to her home.To the family’s surprise,Hammy liked her daughter very much because,he climbed onto her head and got into her hair.

The baby squirrel was nursed back to health on a good diet,getting back his strength and quickly becoming a member of the family.

Mrs.Putterill added:“When he was tiny he refused to sleep anywhere else but on the palm（手掌）of my hand, but as he got older he started treating us like trees,hiding in our clothes.But one day he was playing with Abby and he managed to climb into her hair.He seemed to make himself at home and still does it now.We’ve never had a squirrel do this before and it’s really quite funny to see but he’s happy enough to lie there and watch the world go by.”

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say.But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is.You can feel how heavy the glass is.When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better.For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket.You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.You can even feel sounds against your skin.Have you ever wanted to

know why some people like very loud music？ They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means.They hear it often.Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up.In shops, we touch things we might buy：food, clothes.To see something well, we have to touch it.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too.You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor.All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin.Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin.At first, it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to them!

Most museums are just for looking.But today some museums have some things to touch.Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

If you want to see better, reach out and touch.Then you will really see! 28.By touching things .

A.you can tell what colors they really are B.you can learn more about them C.you will have a strange feeling

D.you will learn how to reach out your hand

C.Our skins may help us to feel the sounds of music. D.We can’t feel the things on show in any museum. 30.Why do some museums have things to touch today？ A.To people excited

B.To help visitors see better

C.To make the exhibits more beautiful D.To help people feel things

Do American children still learn handwriting in school？ In the age of the keyboard,some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day—which really for handwriting is pretty much.

Many adults remember learning that way—by copying letters over and over again.Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better.Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead,they day it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.After all,that is why we write.

Handwriting involves two skills.One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read.The other is fluency-writing without having to think about it.Fluency continues to develop up until high school.

But not everyone masters these skills.Teachers commonly report that about one-fourth of their kids have poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.

But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school,especially in the early years.American children traditionally first learn to print,and then to write in cursive（手写体）,which connects the letters.But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board,which administers the SAT college admission test.More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive. 32.From Paragraph 1 we can learn .

A.teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting

B.teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching job C.most teachers prefer to teach handwriting

D.a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely

33.Which of the following is NOT true for traditional handwriting in the USA？

A.To write in cursive is taught first. B.The students are taught by practicing a long period. C.Handwriting includes two skills.

D.Copying letters are repeated many times.

34.The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means . A.easy to write B.unexpected C.unreadable D.easy to read 35.The best title for the passage is . A.How to improve handwriting in school C.Right or wrong：the death of handwriting out

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。

Get a Complete Understanding of Oneself

B.Handwriting involves two skills

D.Handwriting lessons are on the way

In all one’s life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 36

When you are going upwards in life you often overestimate（高估）yourself.It seems that everything you try to get is within your reach. 37 It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world.Actually, to get a complete understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.

Gain a correct view of oneself.You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized.You may be brave to meet difficult things but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 38

Self-appreciate.Whether you compare yourself to a very tall tree or a piece of grass,a high mountain or a small stone,you represent a state of nature. 39 If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.

40 In time of anger,do yourself a favor by letting it out in a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt by its flames;in time of sadness,do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness,do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.

Get a full control of one’s life.Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor. A.It has its own value.

B.Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness. C.Do oneself a favor when it’s needed.

D.But it is exactly oneself that one has the least understanding of. E.Especially if it is well within your reach, you are just too blind to see it.

F.Only if you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.

G.When you are going downhill you often underestimate yourself for your own lack of ability. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
