XUE Bai, a 21-year-old university student, hopes to volunteer for Beijing's 2008 Olympics. "I want to do something for the Olympics. It is also a kind of learning for me," said the fourth-year student at Beijing Foreign Studies University. Now it is time for Xue to act on her plan. The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the 2008 Olympiad  will start to recruit(招募)volunteers on August 28.
The Olympics will need around 70,000 volunteers and the Paralympic Games(殘疾人奧運會) will need another 30,000. University students like Xue will make up the majority of the volunteers. But the Olympics also need other volunteers - ordinary citizens and foreigners, for example. Students in Beijing should apply through their universities. Other volunteers may apply online or submit a written application. The online application system and a hotline will be open next Monday. For applicants outside Beijing, the application process begins in December. There is plenty of work for volunteers to do. For example, there will be chances to help publicize the games over the next two years. During the games themselves, volunteers will clean, serve food, marshal(禮儀引導(dǎo))or offer language help.
The Sydney Olympics in 2000 was the first that placed special emphasis on the role of volunteers. It used more than 45,000 volunteers in different roles. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, around 45,000 volunteers were used. More than 70,000 volunteers will be needed for the Olympic games and Paralympic Games in 2012, the London Olympic Organizing Committee has said.
小題1:Xue Bai is willing to be a volunteer for the Beijing Olympics for the purpose of_____.
A．watching live Olympic matchesB．learning more
C．meeting his favorite sports starsD．making money
小題2:It is estimated that volunteers for Beijing's 2008 Olympics are mainly _____.

The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can’t achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Ben’s two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿）by an eagle eyed publisher. They were self-published, at the cost of $400 by Ben’s parents.
Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”
The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Ben’s father, Ken, said Ben’s ambitions “weren’t to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that you’ve done something.”
Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.
小題1:Which of the following is true of Ben?
A．He has achieved something unusual for his age.
B．His self-published books were well received.
C．His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.
D．He was thought little of by the public media.
小題2:What makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works?
A．The rapid increase of online readership.
B．The increasing number of publishers.
C．The immediate access to marketing agencies.
D．The development of printing and publishing.
小題3:Why do some parents pay the self-publishing bill?
A．They want to offer opportunities to their children.
B．They want to give encouragement to their children.
C．They want to help their children avoid hardship.
D．They want to show love and care for their children.
小題4:What dose Alan Rinzler suggest that children should do?
A．Be forbidden to write books
B．Start writing at an early age
C．Be professionally guided
D．Learn from experience
小題5:Why do some children self-publish works according to the last part?
A．Just to achieve their dreams.
B．Just to earn more money.
C．Just to gain self-confidence.
D．Just to satisfy their parents.

As computers become more and more popular in China, Chinese are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(筆畫) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use computers.
It's faster and easier to correct the mistakes if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being used more and more often in modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”        
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”              
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to type on a computer, why bother to write by hand?       
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. Besides, handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can  learn one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression.” 
To encourage students to write more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.  
小題1:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?           
A．The Importance of Typing
B．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters
C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D．To Type or to Write by Hand
小題2:The students interviewed prefer to type on a computer mainly because_______.
A．they can correct the mistakes quickly and conveniently
B．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C．they find it hard to remember how to write a character
D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true about advantages of handwriting?
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B．Handwriting can impress people well and build their self-confidence.
C．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
小題4:The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 probably means________.
A．getting bored withB．becoming crazy about
C．becoming dependent onD．getting curious about

Tabb doesn't look like a typical music teacher. But every weekday evening in the French Quarter New Orleans, he beats out the rhythm on his music stand as students play their chosen instruments.
“I'm doing my best to take young people away from harmful things,” said Tabb. His program,  "The Roots of Music”, offers free music education to more than 100 students. He struggles to keep young people on the straight and narrow in the city with the nation's highest murder rate(兇殺率).
Tabb chose to target 9­to14­year­olds with his program. “That's a very important time in your life,” he said. “If I catch them then, I can hold onto them for at least four or five years and guide them the way that will lead them to success.”
Students meet from 4 pm to 7 pm every weekday, all year round. They work with tutors(助教) on schoolwork, practice their music and eat a hot meal before heading home. With the money provided by some people, Tabb's group is able to provide bus transportation, instruments and food for free. He calls it his “no excuse” policy. “You have no excuse why you're not here,” Tabb said. Tabb owes the success in part to the nature of music. “You're always learning something new,”he said. “That's what keeps the kids coming back every day.”
But the program isn't only about fun. “Music is about discipline (紀律),”said Tabb. He insists on good behavior and keeps kids in order with threats of sit­ups(仰臥起坐), pushups(俯臥撐) or tasks like picking up grains of rice — but these measures aren't just punishment. Tabb wants young people to realize that music can help them build a better future. “I don't say that I'm saving lives,” he said. “I say I'm giving life — a whole different life of music.”
小題1:The underlined phrase  "keep young people on the straight and narrow” may mean ________.
A．keep young people standing straight
B．keep young people on the correct life track(道路)
C．keep young people busy performing music
D．keep young people away from the dangerous parts of the city
小題2:Which of the following kids may NOT be included in Tabb's program “ The Roots of Music”？
A．Jack, 8 years old.B．Tom, 9 years old.
C．John, 11 years old.D．Linda, 13 years old.
小題3:What attracts children to join in the program to learn music?
A．The free food and transportation.B．The famous music teacher.
C．The chance to learn new things.D．The strict discipline rules.
小題4:By saying “music is about discipline”, Tabb means ________.
A．keeping discipline is more important than learning music
B．obeying(遵守) rules is important in playing music well
C．music is also connected with kids' grades
D．kids can learn how to behave through music
小題5:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Tabb's program offers young people help.
B．Kids improve grades through music learning.
C．Tabb offers kids free food to learn music.
D．Tabb performs music for street children.

Your teenage daughter is supposed to be doing homework, but you catch her chatting online. She tells you that she’s talking about the math test tomorrow. Before your eyes start rolling, listen up: teens are using social networking sites for more than just gossip, according to a new study by the National School Boards Association.
The students who took part in the online survey, aged 9 to 17, said they spent almost as much time on social networking online as they did watching television. And it is what these kids are talking about online that is causing such a cheer: education. Of the students who took part in the study 60 percent reported that some of the most popular social networking topics were college planning, learning outside of school, careers, and schoolwork. They also reported posting writing and art projects that might have nothing to do with schoolwork.
Ann Flynn, director of education technology for the National School Boards Association, says incorporating (合并) social networking tools into educational curriculum (課程) is the way forward. Flynn says a school in Cleveland, Ohio is posting students’ book reports on a blog for students of their own ages, parents and other teachers to read and comment on. “If someone reacts other than the teacher, a child is much more likely to take an assignment seriously,” Flynn says.
Not only students but also parents can benefit. Now parents can go online and know what the class is doing. So, next time your child says her blog is educational, get curious, sit down and check out the blog with her. You might just learn something new yourself.
小題1:We can infer from the text that Ann Flynn       .
A．supports students in using social networking sites
B．used to think badly of students’ using social networking sites
C．suggests schools set up their own social networking sites
D．suggests teachers inspect what students do on social networking sites
小題2:How does the school in Cleveland mentioned in the text use social net-working sites?
A．It asks each student to keep a blog.
B．It invites parents to comment on students’ work.
C．It welcomes comments on students’ book reports online.
D．It lets students keep in touch with their teachers online.
小題3:A student will not probably take an assignment seriously if he gets comments from       .
A．a(chǎn) strangerB．his teachersC．his parentsD．his classmates
小題4:Why can parents benefit from social networking sites?
A．Because parents can make a lot of friends online.
B．Because parents can help their children with their schoolwork.
C．Because parents can know their children’s learning at school.
D．Because parents can keep up with social development.

Eight-year-old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to the store. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.
Jesse’s uncle, Vance Folsenzier, ran back into the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this didn’t kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down onto its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.
At the Baptist hospital in Pensacola, Dr Lan Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I means is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.”
According to local park ranger (園林管理者) Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky” he says, “Evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in the area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in the area where swimming is allowed.” When reporters asked Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark , he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”
小題1:What was the boy doing when the accident happened?
A．Feeding a hungry sharkB．Jumping into a rough sea
C．Dragging a boy to the shoreD．Swimming in a dangerous area
小題2:In which way did the boy’s uncle help with the operation?
A．By finding his lost armB．By shooting the fish
C．By flying him to hospitalD．By offering his blood
小題3:How was his uncle in time of danger ?
A．CarefulB．BraveC．OptimisticD．Patient

It is reported that six Chinese ships have entered waters near islands claimed by both China and Japan. China said the ships were carrying out “l(fā)aw enforcement” to demonstrate its jurisdiction(管轄權(quán)) over the islands, known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan. At least two of the ships left after the Japanese coast guard issued a warning, Japanese officials say.
The action came after Japan sealed a deal to buy three of the islands from their private Japanese owner. Japan controls the uninhabited but resource-rich East China Sea islands, which are also claimed by Taiwan.
The Japanese Coast Guard said the first two Chinese boats entered Japan’s territorial waters at 06:18 local time, followed by another fleet of four other ships just after 07:00. The first two ships then left the area. A third ship left later on Friday morning, one report said. No force was used, Japanese officials added. “Our patrol(巡邏) ships are currently telling them to leave our country’s territorial waters,” the coastguard said in a statement.
The Chinese foreign ministry confirmed that its ships were there. “These law enforcement and patrol activities are aimed to demonstrate China’s jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and ensure the country’s maritime interests,” a statement said.
The US has called for “cooler heads to be accepted” as tension worsens between China and Japan over the islands. US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is going to visit both Japan and China from this weekend as part of a tour of the region.
The dispute(爭端) has seriously damaged diplomatic relations between China and Japan and threatens to damage the strong trading relationship, says the BBC’s John Sudworth in Beijing. The dispute has also caused strong nationalist emotions on both sides that makes it very difficult to be seen to be backing down, says our reporter.
The Japanese government says it is buying the islands to promote their stable and peaceful management. China on the other hand, says the islands have historically been its territory and fishing grounds. Meanwhile Japan’s newly-appointed ambassador to China, Shinichi Nishimiya, remains in hospital in Tokyo. He was appointed on Tuesday to replace Uichiro Niwa, who has been criticized for his dealing with the worst diplomatic dispute between Japan and China in recent years.
小題1:The Diaoyu Islands are actually inhabited(居住) by              .
A．JapanB．ChinaC．TaiwanD．Nobody
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Japan fired at the 6 Chinese ships to warn them to leave the waters.
B．China admitted that the 6 ships had been forced to leave the waters.
C．The US called on both sides to calm down.
D．Shinichi Nishimiya was unconscious(昏迷的) in the hospital because somebody attacked him.
小題3:Why was Uichiro Niwa replaced?
A．He isn’t iron(強硬) enough in dealing with the diplomatic disputes between Japan and China.
B．His health condition is not good enough to work there.
C．He didn’t do well in dealing with the diplomatic dispute about the Diaoyu Islands.
D．He criticized the Chinese government publicly in an improper way.
小題4:This news report is most likely to be selected from the              newspaper.
A．BritishB．ChineseC．JapaneseD．American

Taking children to school on time doesn’t have to be a battle against the clock. Here are some rules for you to follow.
Lay out children’s clean clothes the night before. Who wants to be looking through unsorted clothes for three pairs of matching socks at 8:00am? Just have the clothes you know they will wear and the food they like ready and waiting. It makes life easier when you can’t spare the time in the morning.
Allow time for yourself. Whether it’s a hot shower, a cup of coffee or five minutes’ peace, leave yourself enough time. This doesn’t include “Just five more minutes” in bed, which will often turn into oversleeping followed by mayhem.
Stick to a routine. Make sure your children know what you expect from them every morning and stick to that routine, whether it’s that they should be fully dressed before breakfast or that they should brush their teeth straight afterwards. My personal top tip for the easiest way to a pain-free morning is no TV the night before.
Keep calm. If the bus is late or you have forgotten where you parked the car, or if you are late, don’t get angry and blame the children. Every one has such a bad morning. But if your children are often late for school, it’s up to you to start a more organized morning routine.
小題1:The passage is mainly intended for __________.
A．parents
B．teachers
C．students
D．early birds
小題2:The underlined word “mayhem” is closest in meaning to __________
A．the bad habit
B．the sleeping hour
C．some preparation
D．some trouble
小題3:What’s the author’s first choice to have a pain-free morning?
A．Have clothes ready in advance.
B．Allow enough time for peace.
C．Get dressed before breakfast.
D．Don’t watch TV the night before
小題4:How many rules are mentioned for your reference in the passage?
A．FiveB．Four
C．ThreeD．Two
