Many people have heard stories of the California gold rush during the 19th century, when lots of people went there in search for gold. Panning (淘洗) for gold has a rich and interesting history. Nowadays some people continue to pan for gold in California. Although it cannot be regarded as a method for earning income, taking on gold-panning as a hobby can give you a feeling of being in the old west and get you out into nature.
The only tool that is required to pan for gold is a gold pan. You can use a regular old flat pan, but “officially” gold pans are quite cheap so you may as well buy one that is made for the task. Most sold pans come in either plastic or medal.
Once you have your pan you will want to start practicing your gold panning technique. Panning for gold works because gold is much heavier than most rocks. To pan for gold you add rock and dirt form the bottom of a stream to your pan and then gently let water flow through the pan. The lighter-weight rocks are slowly swept away while any gold will be left behind in the pan.
To start panning for gold, first you will need to find a good location. Try checking maps of your area and old history books to find location where there were gold mines in the past. Even though most of the gold have already been removed, there are likely to be small leftovers that you can find. Once you have found an area that looks promising, look for any small stream or river where you can try out panning for gold.
Panning for gold requires patience and it may be a long time before you hit anything of value. However, it is an enjoyable hobby and provides a great opportunity to get outdoors, so don’t give up too quickly.
小題1:What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Where to pan for gold.
B．How gold-panning works.
C．What tools are needed.
D．A promising area for panning.
小題2:What is the author’s attitude toward modern gold-planning?
A．Opposed.B．Indifferent .C．Positive.D．Neutral .
小題3:In which part of a newspaper would you probably find this article?
A．Lifestyle.B．Health.C．Travel.D．Sports.

We all love our children and we all know how competitive the world is these days. What’s it going to be like when our children leave school? Will they have the skills they need to stay ahead of the competition?
All children need two basic skills to succeed. They must be able to read and they must be able to write. And with so much information available to them these days, they must be able to read quickly and accurately. That’s why your children need to be able to speed-read.
It’s ironic (諷刺的) that at this time of space-age technology, we’ve gone back to one of the earliest forms of mass communication—the written word. The Internet has introduced a revival (重新流行) of writing, and if you can’t keep up, you’ll be left behind. You certainly don’t want your children to be left behind.
You can help to make sure that your children are excellent writers—you can help them to learn how to use their language. Better still, you can learn with them!
You and your children can spend time together in a worthwhile pursuit (事業(yè))—learning how to write. Forget the theme parks, the computer games, the expensive movies and interesting sports. If you want your children to have treasured memories of time spent with you, learn together.
For less than you would pay for tickets to a theme park, you can invest in your children’s future—help them learn to write well with my six-part writing course.
Don’t stand by while your child is left further and further behind.   
小題1:From the last two paragraphs, we can know the main purpose of the passage is_______
A．To encourage students to be better prepared for the future.
B．To list the qualities children must have for their future success.
C．To persuade parents to choose a writing course for their kids.
D．To explain the difficult situation children have to face at present.
小題2:In the author’s opinion, ______.
A．speed-reading is the first step in a child’s formal education
B．children today waste too much time on games, movies and sports
C．children’s success depends much on good skills in reading and writing
D．writing helps people communicate more effectively in modern society
小題3:What does the author think of writing as a form of communication now?
A．Important.B．Funny.C．Informal.D．Old-fashioned.
小題4:What’s the advantage of children’s learning together with their parents?
A．They will learn more quickly and accurately.
B．They will not be affected by games and sports.
C．It will encourage them to work for a higher pursuit.
D．They will have good memories of time spent with parents.
