[1]It is believed that in such a competitive age, art education is close to an unnecessary part in schools today. However, most of the advantages that a student would gain out of a basic education in art are almost unbelievable.
[2]There has been years of research involved in the importance of art education and what art education goals are. The studies prove that what students gain out of an art education is almost unbeatable, where any other course is concerned.
[3]Motivation, inspiration and concentration are some of the most prominently recorded benefits that a young student can get from taking education. For a young person’s personal growth and development an education in art is something that is considered to be very important as changing the way one looks at the world.
[4]A child whose parents are rich will naturally and very often be exposed to art, whether it is in the form of art pieces hanging at home or visits to fashionable art museums etc. This has again been seen over the years by researchers. At the same time, it has been noticed that exposure to art is something that is very distant for children who belong to families with little money and they end up spending their childhood without forming any connection with art.
[5]Art education goals in school therefore should be that ________ the wonders of art should be given to all students, whatever age group and whatever their family backgrounds are, because one never knows where talent might be hidden.
[6]However, art education goals have been slipping away from our education system for more twenty years now as people have begun to pay less importance to the requirement of art in their children’s lives. The reasons for this could be stressful budgets as well as stuffing of curriculum in classrooms s part of State mandates. Whatever these unfortunate reasons are, people have to once again realize art education goals and how they can actually be helping each student.

解析
小题1:The great importance of art education 根据第二段提到的There has been years of research involved in the importance of art education and what art education goals are. The studies prove that what students gain out of an art education is almost unbeatable, where any other course is concerned.经过数年的研究证明教育的重要性，学生从教育获得的艺术教育是不可战胜的，这正是其它课程所关心的，所文章主题教育的重要性。
小题2:Motivation, inspiration and concentration 根据第三段提到的Motivation, inspiration and concentration are some of the most prominently recorded benefits that a young student can get from taking education，动机，鼓励，集中注意力这正是从学习中所得到的对孩子有益的好处。
小题3:equal exposure to 根据第五段提到Art education goals in school therefore should be that ________ the wonders of art should be given to all students, whatever age group and whatever their family backgrounds are, because one never knows where talent might be hidden.艺术教育在学校的目标应当是平等对待每个学生，不论他 年龄 ，家庭，因为你不知道这些有才的人隐藏在哪个地方，根据文中提到whatever age group and whatever their family backgrounds are 可见他们是平等的。
小题4:Stressful budgets as well as suffering of curriculum 根据第六段提到The reasons for this could be stressful budgets as well as stuffing of curriculum in classrooms s part of State mandates.赞成这种问题的原因是紧张的预算，任务型的课程任务。
小题5:That a rich child is more exposed to art. 根据第四段提出A child whose parents are rich will naturally and very often be exposed to art, whether it is in the form of art pieces hanging at home or visits to fashionable art museums etc. This has again been seen over the years by researchers.如果一个来自富人之家的孩子很自然接触到艺术，无论是艺术形式还是去参观博物馆，这是研究者所观察到的。

Empathy
【1】Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 1 0 years．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．
【2】Jennifer Freed，a co—director of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV,and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect. Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．
【3】There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety,and fear．
【4】Empathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact,Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things that they look for in new managers．Good social skills-including emoathy-are essential abilities that will help you succeed in many areas of life．"Academics are important．But if you don’t have emotional intelligence，you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life，”she says．
【5】____?For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，”Freed says．
【6】To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a“sharing circle’’with your family,or spend time caring for pets at all animal shelter．

The World Health Organization(WHO) says there has been a sharp increase in the number of children in developing countries who weigh too much. In African countries, the WHO says the number of overweight or obese children is two times as high as it was 20 years ago.
Around the world, about 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2011. Doctors use height, weight and age to measure whether a person is underweight, normal, or obese.
Overweight children are more likely to become overweight or obese adults. The condition can lead to serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Francesco Branca , director of the WHO Department of Nutrition for Health and Development, says people are eating manufactured or processed food more often, which often has a high sugar. fat and salt content. Another reason of gaining weight is the city lifestyle. They travel in cars or other vehicles more than on foot, and have less physical activities in general.
Mr Branca says reducing the number of overweight children will not be easy. He says the goal is difficult to meet even in wealthy countries.
The WHO has some basic solutions for individuals（个人） : to lower your in-take of fat ,sugar, salt and processed food, eat more fruit and vegetables, and increase physical activity .These actions are especially important for children and governments should concern providing vitamin for children .
Reducing the number of overweight children will not be easy. The goal is difficult to meet even in wealthy countries. Educational campaigns about problems linked to obesity would also help. Food manufactures must balance quality and taste with the dangers of sugar, fat and salt.
The current goal of the WHO"s World Health Assembly is to prevent an increase in the percentage of overweight children during the next twelve years.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the. questions according to the information given in the passage.
As an English teacher. I"ve been lucky enough to travel to many countries. I"ve seen people celebrating everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars. I"ve attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries as far apart as Argentina and Japan, and I"ve noticed that gold - the metal or the colour is almost always part of cultural events, traditions and celebrations.
From "mashallah" gold tokens(纪念品) that people give to babies in Turkey, to the gold stars that primary teachers stick on their students" exercise books. to the gold coffin that the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson was buried in. it makes me wonder: Why do people love gold?
For some people, gold seems to be a status symbol. Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he"s even bought a shirt made of the stuff-at a cost of $ 250,000. Datta Phuge has his reasons. He explains : "Some elite (杰出人物)people want to own an Audi or Mercedes(奔驰) and have big cars. I chose gold. "
For other people, gold is an investment. The price of gold generally increases over time-and in European markets it reached over $ 1,500 per ounce in 2011.
And for many people, the family heirloom(传家宝)brings together status and investment. My mother has a gold bracelet that was given to her by her grandmother-who, in turn. inherited it from her own grandmother. It"s quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money. But its sentimental value is greater than its value in dollars: It " s a beautiful object that holds many family memories. When the time comes, my mum will give the bracelet to me.
So, status and investment are good reasons to value gold. But, I think that the real reason people love gold is because it can be made into beautiful objects. Think about Tutankhamen" s death mask. People love gold because it captures our minds, our imaginations and. above all, our hearts.

【1】 One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime(10分硬币) left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
【2】 However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
【3】 “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
【4】 Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town __________, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
【5】Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.
【6】After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words…
“Paid in full with a glass of milk”
(Signed) Dr Howard Kelly
【7】Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a terrible car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn"t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "shouldn"t I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you"ll ever need to know," the sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.
Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.
Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a timeout. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.
"No," the sensei insisted, "let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.
On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match.
Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his mind. "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you"ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."
小题1:How did the judo master teach the boy? (no more than 8 words)
