The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must1sixty hours of service learning,2they will not receive a diploma(文憑).3of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a4about what they have learned.
Supporters state that there are many5of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 6their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 7responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can explore possible careers8service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in a primary school classroom a few afternoons each month.9there are many benefits, opponents (反對者) point out problems with the new requirement. First, they10that ,because service learning is time-consuming, students spend11time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without12goes against the law.
In my view, service learning is a great way to13to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.14, I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the15to help must come from the heart. I think the best solution is one that gives students choices. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility.

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, in memory of the 100th birthday of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 suggestions that were handed in, Gustave Eiffel’s was chosen.
However, at first, it was not well accepted by all and a group of people — including many well-known writers and painters at that time — were fiercely against its design.
Being about 300 meters in height, and 7,000 tons in weight, it was the world’s tallest building until 1930. It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. It isn’t an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind. Moreover, its height changes up to 15 cm according to the temperature.
It was almost destroyed in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna(天線), which is used for communication at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height.
The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it. And in 1954, a mountain climber climbed on top of it and tried to measure its exact height.
Anyway, although its birth was difficult, it is now well accepted all over the world. It has been considered as one of the symbols of Paris.

The campaign（競選）is over. The celebrations have ended. And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun.
The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations?
Obama’s victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities（少數(shù)民族）a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times, “Kobe doesn’t have to be everybody’s role model anymore.”
However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “That’s not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence. ”
In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama’s rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.
“When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barak Obama,” he told London’s The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time we’ve seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift（心理轉(zhuǎn)變）for both the white people and the colored ones in the world. ”

  1. 1.

    For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, __________.

    1. A.
      Kobe was the only role model for all the blacks
    2. B.
      blacks could only find role models on the basketball court
    3. C.
      minorities in America couldn’t find role models in their real life
    4. D.
      American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area
  2. 2.

    According to Bill Bank, ____________.

    1. A.
      it’s better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to them
    2. B.
      young blacks should not be so much influenced by Obama
    3. C.
      blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their reality
    4. D.
      Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans
  3. 3.

    What would be the best title for this passage?

    1. A.
      The First African-American President
    2. B.
      America’s New Role Model
    3. C.
      Obama-- A Successful Black.
    4. D.
      Choosing a Right Role Model
  4. 4.

    What will be the huge psychological shift Trevor mentioned at the end of the passage?

    1. A.
      The other three leaders all support Obama.
    2. B.
      Obama is an African-American president.
    3. C.
      None of the four leaders is white.
    4. D.
      The other three leaders except Obama are from Asian countries.

In the late nineteenth century, ^5,000 pianos were sold in the United States each year and, with over half a million youths learning to play the instrument, there was a huge demand for sheet music （活頁樂譜）.Indeed the demand was so huge that publishers rushed to enter the profitable market.During the last fifteen years of the century, many publishers began to set up shops in New York, the center for the production of the musical arts
By the turn of the nineteenth century many important publishers had their offices on 28th Street between Broadway and 5th Avenue, and this Is the area that became known as Tin Pan Alley.It was here that publishers adopted new, aggressive business practices and marketing techniques to achieve great sales.
How it became to be known by that name is unclear, but the general opinion is that it is down to a visiting journalist by the name of Monroe Rosenfeld.He described the area as being drowned in the noise coming from the producers' offices, sounding as though hundreds of people were hitting tin pans（錫鍋）.He used it several times in his newspaper articles in the early twentieth century and the term stuck.With time this name was popularly embraced and many years later it came to describe the U.S.music publishing industry in general.
The start of Tin Pan Alley is usually dated to about 1885,.but the end of Tin Pan Alley is less clear-cut .Some date it to the start of the Great.Depression in the 1930s when the phonograph（留聲機） and radio replaced sheet music, as the driving force of American popular music, while others consider Tin Pan Alley to have continued into thel950s when earlier styles of American popular music were upstaged （搶風(fēng)頭） by the rise of rock & roll.
There's a plaque（紀念匾牌）on the sidewalk on 28th Street in honor of the influence of Tin Pan Alley on American popular culture, but the buildings that were home to the legendary Tin Pan Alley publishers and songwriters are up for sale and may be torn down to make room for modern high-rise buildings.
