Electronic (電子的) books, or e-books, have changed the way many of us read. Now, electronic textbooks are changing the way many students    1  . Many schools in Washington have begun using online course materials for their students. Rather than using a regular textbook, it’s all online.
“Our students are ready to use resources (資源) from different   2  ,” said the head teacher, Peter Noonan. He talked about the   3   of electronic textbooks to a reporter. “The world is changing   4 . Online textbooks can change right along with the things that are happening.  Besides, electronic textbooks   5  less than regular textbooks. We need to pay $8 million for the regular textbooks for our students, but we only need to spend $6 million   6   the electronic textbooks,” said Peter Noonan.
Students have different ideas about the change,   7  most like it. “I don’t have to carry a textbook around, so that is   8  ,” said a high school student named Melanie Reuter. Maria didn’t   9 . “I don’t like it because the Internet sometimes doesn’t work.”
Some students don’t have a computer or can’t go online at home. Stephen is   10  of them. But he said, “I can go to the library, or go to a friend’s house, to go online.”

The high school diploma (文憑) is losing its value quickly, as a growing number of students graduate (畢業(yè)) from school without the math and reading skills that colleges and companies require, according to a new report.
The high school graduation exams that most states (州) require students to pass before they graduate remain far too easy. Most of the exams generally test eighth-or ninth-grade level work.
Today, even high school graduates who are going to have blue-collar (藍領(lǐng)) jobs need to study the math, research and writing courses. But in high school, only students who are going to college are now required to take these courses.
“If you want a good job with a good pay, it’s a high-skill job,” said Michael Cohen, a leading member of the America Diploma Project.
The project suggests that all graduates master a wide range (范圍) of skills. “A high school diploma should mean something to a company and university,” said Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, who is Achieve’s co-chairman.
In Taft’s state, about 30% students who go directly to college from high school have to take remedial classes of English or math, he said. It’s easy to see that the present high-school graduating standards are not preparing students for college education.
And with high-skilled jobs increasingly headed overseas to places like India and Ireland, states need to act, he said.
To prove why math and reading skills matter, the report includes real-life examples of problems students meet in college and that workers must solve each day on the job. ?
Some states are taking actions to upgrade the high school diploma. In Texas, all high school students, starting with the 2008 graduating class, will have to take the college-prep curriculum (大學(xué)預(yù)備課程) - unless a parent agrees to an easier course load. Other states are planning similar moves.
The report includes examples of reading and math skills that high-school students should have. Project leaders say they hope parents will use those examples to judge (評定) the coursework at their kids’ high schools.
小題1:Why is the high school diploma losing its value quickly?
A.Because the number of high school students is growing fast.
B.Because high school students fail to reach the standards.
C.Because the graduation tests are easier than it should be.
D.Because difficult courses are not required in high schools.
小題2:Remedial classes in Paragraph 6 mean classes____.
A.for good learners to study quickly and better
B.for slower learners weak in the subject
C.for learners to be taught one by one
D.for learners to reach a higher standard
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Colleges require higher math and reading skills than companies.
B.It is easier for companies to find high-skilled workers in India.
C.Math and reading skills help little for workers to solve daily problems.
D.Parents ask high schools to offer college-prep curriculum in Texas.
小題4:What can be the best title for the passage?
A.High School Diploma Means Little
B.Give Students More High-skill Jobs
C.Math and Reading Skills Really Matter
D.Judge Coursework at High Schools

Every month, junior high schools in China choose one hero of the month. This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China.


Dear Mr. President,
I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really terrible. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect animals more.
I know that there are nearly 2,000 nature reserves in China, which is good. I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city. We visited one of them last month to see for ourselves.
I feel so sorry for the giant panda. It’s one of the most popular animals in the world and a real symbol of China. We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo, and that a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours! That’s a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct (滅絕) forever.
The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator (揚子鱷). These creatures live in some parts of eastern China. These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isn’t clean enough for them to live in. It’s really dirty in fact. The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers.
If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more foreigners may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitors just see the cities.
I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.
Sincerely yours,
Huang Jing
 
小題1:What’s Huang Jing’s project at school about?
小題2:What animals did Huang Jing talk about in his letter?
小題3:How much bamboo can a panda eat in 24 hours?
小題4:Why is the water in some places too dirty for alligators to live in?
小題5:If you are a hero of the month like Huang Jing, what else will you possibly do to help protect the animals in danger?   (請自擬一句話回答)

Chinese are very generous in educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities such as musical instrument learning or ballet classes, or other classes. They think these will give them a good future. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend much unreasonable money on education. Even poor parents will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, most parents don’t understand that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very good in some areas while poor in others. Parents can also see some children are good at these skills and others do well in others. Most parents don’t realize that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need are to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence. 
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with, will make him curious(好奇的) and improve his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
小題1:We know from this passage parents in China         .
A.a(chǎn)re too strict with their children
B.a(chǎn)re too rich to educate their children
C.a(chǎn)re too poor to educate their children
D.have some problems in educating their children correctly
小題2:We learn from the passage that        .
A.the cheaper an education is, the better it is
B.children today should learn difficult skills
C.practical skills are helpful to children’s growth
D.school education can’t meet parents’ expectations
小題3:Doing some cooking at home helps children        .
A.benefit (有益于) from it and prepare themselves for the future
B.learn how to serve their parents
C.learn how to become strong and fat
D.make their parents believe that they are clever
小題4:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Broken things are useful for children
B.Interest is necessary for everything
C.Learning to think is very important.
D.Using hands helps improve thinking ability

Chen Jie, 14, from Ningbo, Zhejiang is a lucky girl. She got 3600 yuan as gift money this Spring Festival. However, her grandmother took away all the money and put it in a bank account.
Many students experienced the same thing as Chen. They got their gift money, only to immediately have it taken away.
Xiong Shengyue, 14, from Nanjing, doesn't agree with the practice. "I think the money should be the children's, " she said. " We should take care of it by ourselves."
It is not that simple, said Chu Chaohui, a researcher at national Institute of Education Sciences.
Giving gift money is used to show social status (地位)and develop relationships, he told Beijing Legal Evening News. Gift money has lost its traditional meaning of good will and has "little to do with the children". What's more, children don't earn the money through work. So he thought that parents should still play a big part in dealing with the money.
But Yan Honglan, a mother of a 14-year-old boy in Beijing, has let her son be responsible (承擔(dān)責(zé)任的)for his gift money since the age of 8. "I want to develop his financial(理財) skills, ' Yan said.
She also added:"No matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to make the children feel they're respected(尊重) and trusted.
Chen supported Yan's idea. She said that though she knew her grandmother wouldn't waste her gift money, she would feel happier if she could at least know how the money is spent.
"It would make me feel a little bit more grown-up," she said.
小題1:Chen Jie’s grandmother ________.
A.took away all her money and put it in a bankB.let her take care of all her money
C.gave all her money to her parentsD.spent all her money
小題2: Chu Chaohui thought the gift money should be dealed with by _________
A.childrenB. grandmotherC. parentsD.friends
小題3:Yan Honglan thought___________ is the most important thing.
A.to make children feel a little bit more grown-up
B.to take care of the gift money by themselves
C.to put the gift money in a bank account
D.to make the children feel they're respected and trusted.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Chen Jie got 3600 yuan as reward this Spring Festival.
B.Xiong Shengyue thought children should take care of the gift money.
C.Chu Chaohui thought parents shouldn’t play a big party in dealing with the money.
D.Yan Honglan has let her son be responsible for his gift money since the age of 9.

Wang Bing’s father began smoking when he was a freshman ( 大學(xué)一年級學(xué)生)in college. His friend passed him his first cigarette. He has now been smoking for more than 30 years.
It’s a classic example of how young people are introduced to cigarettes, except that nowadays smokers develop their habit at an even younger age.
It has become a major concern(擔(dān)憂) in China that many teenagers begin to smoke. A survey showed that 22.5% of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8% of them smoked regularly.
For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence, maturity(成熟) and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen.
The social environment also plays an important role in attracting teenagers to smoking. They are used to seeing their elders, especially male family members, smoking at home. Many of them imitate adult behavior and become new smokers.
To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reduce the number of young smokers, as teenagers have limited money to spend on them.
Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes. A survey shows that 92.5% of the students know smoking will be bad for their health. If we persuade them in a proper way, most of them may give up smoking.
All in all, the society, the government, the school and the family should join together to take the responsibility for an anti-smoking (禁煙) campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans and warnings on cigarette packs.
小題1:The writer uses the first paragraph to ______.
A. tell the readers a story of a smoker
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. introduce the college life of Wang Bing’s father.
小題2:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.The teenagers think smoking is a symbol of being an adult and independence.
B.The social environment encourages the teenagers to smoke.
C.The teenagers should be educated to refuse to smoke.
D.The teenage smoking has become a serious problem in China.
小題3:What does the word ”imitate”in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?
A.指責(zé)B.忍受C.模仿D.支持
小題4:From the underlined part of the last sentence of this passage, we can infer(推斷) that the writer thinks putting slogans and warnings on cigarette packs is ______to solve the problem.
A.not enoughB.of no use
C.of great helpD.of great importance.
