Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries. For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim. They want to introduce industries, and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants(污染物). The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment and the bad effects can be clearly seen. Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.
It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, has laws against pollution, but these laws are not enforced strictly enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罚款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers. However, the responsibility(责任) does not completely lie with the Brazilian government. The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either. A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely(严厉地) punished or even put out of business.

1.
Why don’t developing countries have strict pollution controls?
1. A.
  The new industries they want to introduce do not cause much pollution.
2. B.
  Pollution is not a serious problem for developing countries.
3. C.
  They don’t realize the balance of nature will be destroyed by some pollutants.
4. D.
  If they put stricter controls on industry, fewer companies would build new plants in developing countries.
2.
What is the author’s purpose in taking Cubatao as an example?
1. A.
  To show that industry can develop very fast in developing countries.
2. B.
  To show that the pollution problem in Brazil is extremely serious.
3. C.
  To show that industrial growth can cause pollution problems for developing countries.
4. D.
  To show that pollution is killing many people and destroying the whole economy of Brazil.
3.
How is the health of the population of Cubatao?
1. A.
  There are more heart diseases among people who live near chemical factories.
2. B.
  More people suffer from lung diseases because of poisonous matter.
3. C.
  Their health is affected by pollutants the same way as that of other Brazilians.
4. D.
  Babies there are found not as bright as those who live in other places.
4.
Why do some foreign companies like to set up their plants in Brazil?
1. A.
  The investment(投资) environment in Brazil is suitable for them.
2. B.
  They will not be severely punished if they cause pollution in Brazil.
3. C.
  They can make much money because they do not have to pay Brazilian workers much.
4. D.
  They can act in an irresponsible(不负责任的) way in Brazil because there are no pollution laws there.

The results of the survey were released last week, and they make for the interesting reading. For example, people used to take for granted that the older they were, the more pressure they felt.
But, surprisingly, the results have shown that young people in their twenties are the most stressed. This is because young people are forming their values at a time when Chinese society is undergoing great changes, explained Chen Long, a member of the survey team.
“Society is changing and neither their parents nor their teachers can teach them enough to know how to cope with it,” Chen said. Some of them get anxious from the overwhelming amount of information in the wired world, Chen added.
Another problem is that the economic reforms have forced people to develop a more competitive attitude. Those surveyors said they felt more pressure from heavier work-loads, increased peer competition, and greater responsibilities.
Medical disputes and business activities increasingly find their way into people’s free time and simply add to their stress, the survey showed.
Then there is the pressure to achieve more also weighing heavily on people. This is particularly true for those with higher education. Those people really want to acquire new knowledge and use their ability to get ahead and get more out of society.
The researchers hope their survey will throw some light on the state of mental health among the Chinese during this period of major economic and political reforms.

1.
Which of the following is one of the reasons for the pressures people felt?
1. A.
  people are forming their values.
2. B.
  Chinese society is not undergoing a period of transition.
3. C.
  The economic reforms have forced young people to develop a more competitive attitude.
4. D.
  People with higher education really want to achieve more.
2.
What does the underlined word “they” refer to?
1. A.
  People getting stressed.
2. B.
  The results of the survey.
3. C.
  Periods of transition.
4. D.
  The researchers.
3.
According to Huang, people with pressure are likely to ____.
1. A.
  form their values
2. B.
  achieve more out of society
3. C.
  lose their temper
4. D.
  make for interesting reading
4.
The purpose of the author in writing this article is to ____.
1. A.
  share the state of people with pressure
2. B.
  tell us how to deal better with pressure
3. C.
  advise people to develop an active attitude to life

Here’s an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician（魔术师）, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic.
Liu is known for his interaction(互动) with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出技巧).
“It is actually thinking, rather than one’s manipulation(操作)skills, that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more intriguing(吸引人的),”Liu said.
Liu Qian’s success dates back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.
Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur（业余的） magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a decent(体面的)job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
To refine（升华） his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for pedestrians(路人), policemen and farmers.
“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds,” Liu said.

1.
Why do people love to watch magic?
1. A.
  Because Liu Qian is known for his interaction with his audiences.
2. B.
  Because people love watching magicians make the impossible happen.
3. C.
  Because people want to know the secret of the magic.

  Because people are curious about everything.

What is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?
1. A.
  He was good at magic when he was young.
2. B.
  He had won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest.
3. C.
  He couldn’t find a decent job after graduation.
4. D.

The U.S. Department of Labor statistics(统计) show that there is an oversupply of college trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.
On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white —collar workers make a better living than blue collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.
The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating(灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments(入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.
One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.

1.
It’s implied but not stated in the passage that _______.
1. A.
  many other countries are facing the same problem
2. B.
  white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers
3. C.
  fewer students will prefer to go to college in the future
4. D.
  the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education
2.
Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year？
1. A.
  Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.
2. B.
  Many parents want their children to go to college.
3. C.
  High school teachers urge their students to go to college.
4. D.
  Every young man and woman wants to go to college.
3.
By saying that “many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author means that _______.
1. A.
  many people who are not fit for college education go to college
2. B.
  many people who do not have enough money go to college
3. C.
  many people who go to college drop out within the first year
4. D.
  many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed

2. B.
  college education is a bad thing
3. C.
  people with a college education should receive higher pay

April 22,2010 will be the 18th celebration of the annual Take Our Daugluers to Work Day （TOD）, a project the National Ms.Foundation for Women of America （NFW） developed to expose girls to expanding opportunities for women in the workplace.
The program offers, millions of girls a first - hand view of the many career opportunities available in their futures.Now that women make up 46 peroent of the U.S.workforce, girls can find role models in every occupational field-from politics to molecular biology to professional athletics, to name just a few.TOD encourages girls to focus on their abilities and opportunities, not just their appearance.
The NFW developed the project more than a decade ago to address the self - esteem problems that many girls experience when they enter adolescence.At school, boys often receive more encouragement in the classroom, especially in math.science and computer science, the academic fields that tend to lead to the highest salaries.Women receive on average only 73 cents for every dollar that men are paid.and remain vastly underrepresented （数量不足） in top executive positions and technology fields.TOD aims to give girls the confidence and inspiration they need to develop successful careers, particularly in non-traditional fields.
Perhaps because the program had become so widespread and successful, TOD had been criticized for excluding boys.and it was expanded in 2003to include boys.The program’s official website states that the program was changed in order to provide both boys and girls with opportunities to explore careers at an age when they are more flexible in tenns of gender stereotyped roles."We should also show boys that becoming a child care provider is as acceptable a choice as becoming a police officer or CEO," added Sara K.Gould.executive director of the NFW.

“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me.Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping.The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊).Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

Do you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your pre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.
The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read. As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.
There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed. A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listen and respond. Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversation happens.
Have you watched you pre-school child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over? These experiences tell children that reading is fun. And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.
When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children’s reach.
The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines（日常生活）of everyday life.

1.
The third paragraph tells us that parents can talk with their children__________.
1. A.
  during daily routines
2. B.
  only in quiet places
3. C.
  in their spare time
4. D.
  when they are eager to walk

During the process of learning to read, children may _________.
1. A.

2. B.
  prefer to talk with those of their own age.
3. C.
  show no interest in reading at all.
4. D.
  waste a lot of paper and other materials.
3.
When do children want to learn to write?
1. A.
  When their parents ask them to do so.
2. B.
  When they believe they can write well.
3. C.
  When they know what they want to know

Have you ever wondered why the roots of the plants always know which way to grow—into the soil but not above it? Some British scientists have recently solved this mystery.
It turns out that roots have special hairs that tie them into the soil and help them grow their way past obstacles, a team at the John Inners Center in Norwich reports in the February 29 issue of Journal Science.
“The key is in the fuzzy(有绒毛的)coat of hairs on the roots of plants,” says professor Liam Dolan. “We have found a growth control system that enables these hairs to find their way and to become longer when their path is clear.”
Root hairs explore the soil in much the same way a person would feel their way in the dark. If they come across an obstacle, they make their way around until they can continue growing in an opening. In the meantime, the plant is held in place as the hairs grip(紧紧抓住)the soil.
The hairs are guided by a clever chemical trick. A protein(蛋白质) at the tip of the root hairs called RHD2 helps them to take calcium(钙) from the soil. Calcium makes the hairs grow, and produce more RHD2, and take more calcium.
But when an obstacle blocks the hair’s path, or the hair reaches the surface of the soil, the cycle is broken and growth starts in another direction.
This system gives plants the flexibility to explore a complex environment and to live in even the most unpromising soils, says Dolan.
In poor soils such as in parts of Australia and Africa, native plants have adapted by producing enormous numbers of root hairs. A better understanding of this adaptation will allow scientists to develop hairy rooted crops that can grow in unfriendly environments.
According to Dolan, “Research in the John Inners Center is taking a breeding approach to increase hair length in wheat but it will be some time before new cultivars(栽培变种) are developed.”

1.
The passage is mainly about _______.
1. A.
  why the roots of plants grow into the soil but not above it
2. B.
  how the roots of plants grow into the soil but not above it
3. C.
  the process of plants growth
4. D.
  a growth control system of plants
2.
How does the circle work?
