[1]A program in the United States brings scientists and engineers into elementary schools to teach teachers more about how to teach science.
[2]Dave Weiss is a retired engineer. One day each week he volunteers at Georgian Forest Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland, near Washington. He, who is so enthusiastic and so much fun with the kids, works with teacher Fred Tenyke on science projects for ten years.
[3]Student Jada Lockwood says she enjoys Mr. Weiss" visits to her classroom. She likes the drawings he uses to explain scientific ideas.
[4]The American Association for the Advancement of Science sponsors the Senior Scientists and Engineers program. Dave Weiss has been a volunteer in that program for many years. The scientists and engineers help teachers in elementary schools improve their skills.
[5]Mr. Weiss says he and the other volunteers help teachers by providing hands-on knowledge. He notes that science is an area in which many elementary school teachers have _________experience. In elementary school, for the most part, a regular classroom teacher is responsible for teaching science, along with reading and math, and if they don"t have a strong science background, just by nature, they"re going to tend to underrepresent science in the curriculum.
[6]American fifteen-year-olds scored about average in science among countries that took part in testing by the OECD in 2009. The OECD is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
[7]Dave Weiss says he is concerned about such results, but hopeful for the future for American students learning science. Fred Tenkye thinks volunteers like Dave Weiss are helping students do that. "And if you can develop a passion for science, then eventually the grades and the test scores, then that will follow and increase, too." he said.

The United States has about 475,000 school buses ---all painted yellow.Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country.But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers.When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally.The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.
Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council.He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay.As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs.Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消).Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels.Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams.And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law.
Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school.The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment.It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students.Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.
But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school.And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School.More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement.The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution.The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October the eighth this year.But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.

小题2:Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph?| A．There are too many school buses in the United States. | | B．There are too many students in the US. | | C．Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US. | | D．School buses consume too much diesel in the US. |
小题3:What can we learn from Paragraph 3?| A．Cuts in bus service will have negative results. | | B．The US government is encouraging cuts in bus services. | | C．The US schools are searching for the safest transportation means. | | D．Reducing bus service will do a lot of good to the environment. |

B.keep the children safe on their way to school
D.keep the children healthy and the environment clean. |
In modem society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity．Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied(依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affair. In their single-minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success .By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.’’ What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．
Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解)can we discover a new meaning in competition．
小题1:What does this passage mainly talk about?| A．Competition helps to set up self-respect． | | B．Opinions about competition are different among people． | | C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development． | | D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition． |
小题2:Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?| A．It pushes society forward． | | B．it builds up a sense of duty． | | C．It improves personal abilities． | | D．It encourages individual efforts． |
小题3:The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means________．| A．those who try their best to win | | B．those who value competition most highly | | C．those who are against competition most strongly | | D．those who rely on others most for success |
小题4:What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?| A．One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others’． | | B．One’s success in competition needs great efforts． | | C．One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills． | | D．One’s success is based on how hard he has tried． |
小题5:Which point of view may the author agree to?| A．Every effort should be paid back． | | B．Competition should be encouraged． | | C．Winning should be a life—and—death matter． | | D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition． |

Teenagers are under a lot of pressure to be thin. They resort to starving, vomiting and eating only diet foods to try and be thin. Television is a big influence on them. They watch shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place and feel they need to look as thin as the actresses on these shows. Society is brainwashing young people into believing that being thin is important and necessary.
Diet commercials are constantly appearing on our television screens telling us that once we lose weight, we will be happy. While you’re standing at the grocery store you are surrounded by magazines claiming to have the newest and best diet. Each month another new diet appears claiming to be the diet to end all diets. If diets really worked, then why are there so many of them? The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.
The diet and fashion industries are not totally to blame for society’s obsession with thinness. We are the ones keeping them in business. We buy into the idea that we can attain the “ideal” body image. We allow ourselves to believe the lies being thrown at us constantly. We are throwing away our hard earned money trying to live up to the standards that society has set for us. It’s unfortunate, but in today’s society, people have forgotten that it’s what’s inside a person that counts, not what’s on the outside. We need to start loving and accepting each other for who we are, not what we look like.
Once again, I would like to stress the fact that diets don’t work. Eating three healthy meals a day, a few snacks and doing moderate exercise, will allow your body to go to its natural set point. Next time you decide that you are going to start another diet because you feel you are too fat, stop, sign up for a self-esteem class instead. That would be money well spent.
小题1:What are Beverly Hills 90210 and Meltrose Place ?| A．Fashion shows. | B．Two famous place in America. | | C．Popular TV shows. | D．Two TV channels. |
小题2:According to the author, which of the following statements is NOT true ?| A．Our society is flooded with diet commercials. | | B．The latest diet is necessarily better than all the previous ones. | | C．People in North America become crazy over Dieting. | | D．All diets are useless in fact |
小题3:Why are there so many diets popping up according to the second paragraph?| A．Because teenagers are under a lot of pressure to be thin. | | B．Because there are more and more fat teenagers. | | C．Because the diets have no effect. | | D．Because teenagers are fascinated by the newest and best diet. |
小题4:We can infer from this passage that __________ .| A．if your diet doesn’t work, the only thing you can do is to accept your body image . | | B．attending a self-esteem class will help you keep fit. | | C．we shouldn’t pay attention to the size of our body. | | D．what’s inside a person is much more important than his/her appearance. |
小题5:What’s the function of the last paragraph in the whole text ?| A．persuasion | B．summarization | C．argumentation | D．description |

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments---mostly for entertainment purposes --- is fair and respectful?
Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely and far from their natural homes.
Zoo claims to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leaves zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behaviour, intelligence, or beauty. Zoo keeps animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and another species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we still save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
小题1:How would the author describe the animals’ life in Zoos?| A．Dangerous | B．Unhappy | C．Natural | D．Easy |
小题2:In the state of zoochosis, animals _______________.| A．remain in cages | B．behave strangely | | C．attack other animals | D．enjoy moving around |
小题3:According to the passage what point of view does the author hold?| A．Zoos are not worth the public support. | | B．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. | | C．Zoos should treat animals as human beings. | | D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment. |
小题4:The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by________.| A．pointing out the faults in what zoos do | | B．using evidence he has collected at zoos | | C．exploring the way animals are protected | | D．discussing the advantages of natural habitats |
小题5:Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that___________.| A．zoos have to keep animals in small spaces | | B．most animals in zoos are endangered species | | C．some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos | | D．it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats |
