Boston University was always my dream， but when it came to making the decision， I had to be sure that I was confident in my choice. Boston University drew me in for several reasons—its perfect location in the heart of Boston， its strong education programs， and the comfortable community. One special thing that set Boston University apart from my other college options was that I could be placed in the classroom to experience teaching in my freshman year. I had dreamed to be a teacher for as long as I could remember， after all.

After just six short weeks， I was absolutely confident that I made the right choice to attend Boston University. At Boston University， I attended an education program—ED 100. Each Wednesday， I went to Bowman Elementary School to help in a fifth grade classroom.

Although I was a secondary education major， working with fifth graders was very memorable. One of my weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of about five students. It was tiring， but I fully enjoyed getting to know their strengths （長處） and a little bit about each student apart from their studies.

As the weeks went on， I found myself further involved in （參與） more classroom activities， often helping students one by one or in small groups. The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take part in class activities and share their ideas. For each class， I usually spent a long time preparing it. I also loved learning from other teachers， and taking note of their excellent teaching skills， some of which I hoped to use in my own classroom.

The program—ED 100 has even further confirmed （確認(rèn)） my dream to become an educator. I have passion to work with children. I cant wait to have my own classroom of students. Im so happy that Ive made the right decision to choose Boston University.

24. What attracts the author most is that Boston University.

Art and science may seem like opposite things. In fact， the two have much in common. Now， a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.

Mariale Hardiman， an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University， noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved art. To prove that， Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.

In the experiment （實驗）， the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class， for example， students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one， they might sing the information instead.

The team randomly assigned （隨機分配） each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic， they also changed to the other type of class. This way， each student had both art-focused classes and traditional ones. Every unit was taught in both ways to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.

The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something， the more weretainit，” Hardiman says. “It suggests that art may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”

28. Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study？

A. To prove the importance of art at school.????????? B. To see if art might improve science learning.

C. To find a way to help students learn better.????? D. To encourage students to ask questions.

29. What were the students required to do in the experiment？

A. Learn three units in total.????????????????????????????????? B. Take two types of classes.

C. Learn two topics for three weeks.???????????????????? D. Choose what theyd like to learn.

30. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean？

A. Finish.??????????????????????? B. Express.????????????????????? C. Improve.???????????????????? D. Memorize.

31. What does the text mainly tell us？

A. Art helps students develop creativity.?????????????? B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot.

C. Art can make science easier to remember.???????? D. Art has something in common with science.

Popular culture has a strong influence on language. The expressions that come from movies and TV shows can be especially powerful. If someone says a line from one of your favorite movies， it is kind of like you both belong to the same club. Such popular culture expressions bring people the feeling that they share some common points with others and therefore， they become widely used among people.

Here， we take a water-based phrase for example. If I say to you “Just keep swimming”， I am quoting a fish—a really famous fish.

In the movie Finding Nemo， Dory is a friendly and helpful fish. She becomes friends with Marlin， a clownfish （小丑魚） who has just lost his only son， Nemo. Dory offers to help Marlin find Nemo. The search is very difficult. Every time Marlin feels hopeless and wants to stop searching， Dory says to him， “Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.” With these words， Dory is encouraging her friend to keep looking for his son.

The phrase may come from a childrens film， but its meaning is not childish （幼稚的）. At some point， we all face a difficult situation. We may feel sad or frightened and want to give up. But then a friend says， “Just keep swimming，” and it gives us the hope we need to reach our goal—to finish strong. Even if someone has not seen the film， they most probably will know what you mean when you say it.

But would I say “Just keep swimming” in a very serious situation or to a very serious co-worker whom I dont know well？ Probably not. We do have other words of encouragement. You can say “Hang in there！” “You can do it！” or “Dont give up！”

32. Why are popular culture expressions widely used among people？

A. They are easy to remember.

B. They bring people a feeling of closeness.

C. They help people keep up with the latest fashion.

D. They can make communication more interesting.

33. You can say “Just keep swimming” to a friend when he.

A. plans to take a trip???????????????????????????????????????????? B. wins first prize in a competition

C. wants to give up dancing?????????????????????????????????? D. is upset about your poor grades

34. What does the author say about popular culture expressions in Paragraph 4？

A. They have deep meanings.??????????????????????????????? B. They are very encouraging.

C. They come from famous films.????????????????????????? D. They can be easily understood.

35. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph？

A. Use proper expressions in different situations. B. Avoid most culture expressions in work.

C. Encourage people who are facing difficulties.? D. Try to express ourselves in different words.

Believe it or not， there is no standard English. Many people believe the English 61 （speak） on TV and the radio is standard English. This is 62 in the early days of radio， people thought that those 63 reported the news spoke excellent English. However， on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.

When people use words and 64 （express） different from the “standard language”， it 65 （call） a dialect （方言）. American English has many dialects because people come from all over the world. Even in some parts of the USA， two people from the same section speak a little 66 （different）.

Geography also plays a part in 67 （make） dialects. When Americans 68 （move） from one place to another， they took their dialects with 69 （they）. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect 70 people in the northwestern USA. In the USA， many different dialects are used. Although many Americans move a lot， they still recognize and understand each others dialects.
