The Maum Sin Yong School says that they are the first in Colorado and the one of only two schools in the US to teach martial arts (武术) to students with mental diseases.
“They do everything that our regular classes do,” says Rob Hansen, Tae Kwon Do instructor. Hansen teaches the kids how to punch (拳打), kick, and block along with the values of the Korean martial arts. He says that they also learn confidence and how to improve their motor skills. “They’ve learned focus, just to be able to pick one item and pay attention to it.”
“Tae Kwon Do is pretty fun,” says Christina Hinkle. She was born with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and says she never wants to miss class. “Well, how come? It’s pretty fun.”
“Ever since she saw Karate Kid, she’s been running around the house, doing kicks and punches,” says Peggy Hinkle, Christina’s mother. Peggy says that her daughter processes information slowly and taking Tae Kwon Do lessons has helped her in all parts of her life. “It gives her a chance to be a regular kid.”
Wednesday’s class is not a normal class. Instead, it’s a day that all the students have been waiting for. “Today is actually the first day, and I’m actually going to be able to test these guys,” says Hansen. The students would receive their White Belts. However, in order to receive their belts, the students must show off their skills in front of a group of Black Belts.
“Nervous? No way. I’m so excited,” says Christina just before she displayed what she has learned over the past few months. She and the other students also answered questions about the history of Tae Kwon Do, as well as its philosophy (哲学).
“To me, it’s just really important for them to actively see that they are learning something,” says Hansen. “That they actually are able to be rewarded for everything that they’ve done in this class.” All the students passed. They received their White Belts.
“To see the joy in her face was very rewarding,” says Peggy. She videotaped the whole test and hugged her daughter telling her that she’s proud. “Christina feels like she could do anything,” she says.
Christina says that her next goal is to keep working on her skills so she can move up to a Gold Belt. She says, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe I got the first rank.”

答案

小题1:A
小题2:B
小题3:C
小题4:A
解析

小题1:第二段说这些学员进行常规的学习,同时学会自信,改善运动神经,学会集中注意力,由此可知这个学校的宗旨是A。
小题2:第五段说星期三的课不是常规课,学生将在一群黑腰带级别的武术高手前接受检验,以获得白腰带。由此可知这一天学生将被检验其学习情况并授予武术级别。
小题3:第八段开头说“看见她脸上的笑容就让人觉得满足了”,可见孩子们对学Tae Kwon Do很感兴趣。文中没有提到教练是否严格,家长并没有陪同学习,Tae Kwon Do可以提高孩子的某些能力,但不可能治愈精神方面的疾病。
小题4:通读全文可知学生学习Tae Kwon Do得到能力和快乐,同时家长为孩子取得的成绩感到欣慰。文章客观地介绍了The Maum Sin Yong School的情况,没有语句号召更多的孩子来上学;家长送孩子进学校之前就应该知道目的;文章没有提到要再办类似学校,所以排除D项。

One of India"s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students" performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.
Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. "Now, a student doesn"t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet," said Prakash Gopalan, dean of student affairs. "The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion."
IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional (不正常的) lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.
Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12.30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbai"s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their "shells," Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated.

New Beijing, Great Olympics
The 2008 Olympic Games has been the most cheerful and anticipated(预先的) event throughout Beijing ever since Beijing was rewarded the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, yet the focus should be shifted from making a promise to carrying out the promise made.
  In my point of view, to bridge the gap between the promise and reality, Beijing still has a long way to go. To begin with, basic-structure construction should be the primary concern. Such basic-structures as communications and transportation system and facilities ought to draw our constant attention. For example, traffic jam has been an age-old headache in Beijing. The scene of long queues of vehicles worming their way inch by inch will surely cause great disorder, and impair the image of the city meanwhile. Next, to add charm to convenience, overall cityplanning is quite necessary. Time permitting, a redesign of city plan and adjustment of architectural style would provide a better environment for cultivating the characteristic, mixing oriental elegance(东方的雅致) with international greatness, will tower aloft(在高处) among surrounding architectures. To achieve such effect, Beijing shall seek opinions from first-rate architects and make an overall plan. Thirdly, quality of the population should be improved. To make an international metropolis, both “hardware” and “software” are important.
  However, Rome was not built in a day. To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”, deeds speak louder than words.
小题1:What does the underlined word “metropolis” in paragraph 2 mean ?
A.suburbB.small cityC.capital cityD.town
小题2:Which sentence is not true according to the author’s opinion in the passage?
A.Beijing has a crowded traffic since a long time ago.
B.Experts in architecture are also important to the city’s construction.
C.In order to host the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing has preparations to make in many ways.
D.Hardware” refers to quality of people in Beijing.
小题3: How many aspects does the author mention to prepare for the Olympics in Beijing?
A.two: basic-structure construction and people’s quality
B.three: basic-structure construction, traffic problem and overall city planning.
C.two: basic-structure construction and overall city planning
D.three: basic-structure construction, overall city planning and people’s quality.
小题4:What can be inferred from the text?
A.Beijing is going to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
B.To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”is a long-term work.
C.Traffic jams will cause a lot of trouble and make people feel sick..
D.An overall city plan is to make Beijing a city with eastern and western cultures mixed together.

Being alone in outer space can be   36 . That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them   37 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.   38 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on  39 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of  40 is. When men are  41 together for a long period, they begin to feel   42  . Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very   43  .
Apparently, although no one wants to be  44 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of  45 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to   46 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in   47 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

GUATEMALA CITY(Reuters)---- A fish that lives in mangrove swamps(红树沼泽)across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted(适应)to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.
The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs(圆木), said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida .
The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.
The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.
“We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.
In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.
Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph.
Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.
“These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition(过渡)form water onto land, ” Wright said.
小题1:The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that ________.
A.likes eating nuts
B.prefers living in dry places
C.is the longest living fish on earth
D.can stay alive for two months out of water
小题2:Who will write up a report on mangrove Rivulus?
A.Patricia Wright.
B.Researchers in Guatemala.
C.Scientists from Belize.
D.Scott Taylor.
小题3:According to the text, lungfish can __________.
A.breathe through its skin
B.move freely on dry land
C.remain alive out of water
D.be as active on land as in water
小题4:What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus?
A.It was made quite by accident.
B.It was based on a lab test of sea life.
C.It was supported by an American magazine.
D.It was helped by Patricia Wright.
