    Anyone for kimchi(韩国泡菜)? Around 2,000 women made the traditional dish last week in Seoul,the capital of the Republic of Korea(ROK).

    Kimchi traditionally has a rosy color. Korea.net says: “The color red wards off (避开) evil spirits. The color represents the spirit of the Korean people and kimchi is more than just a food. It’s a culture.”

    Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare（仪式上用的短曲）; there are weddings on mountain-tops with guests barefooted (赤脚的); and there have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests.

    After the ceremony there is often a party, called a "reception" which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the new couple . The car in which the couple leaves the church is decorated with balloons, streamers and shaving cream. The words "Just Married" are painted on the trunk or back window. The bride and bridegroom run to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests.

    A new report says only about half of all students in the main school systems of America’s largest cities finish high school. The report notes higher rates of graduation — over 70% —in areas surrounding the cities. Researchers studied high school graduation rates from the 2003, 2004 school year. They also identified the nation’s fifty largest cities. The largest, New York City, had a population of more than eight million. The smallest city was Wichita, Kansas. It had about three hundred and sixty thousand people.
    Researchers used a system of measurement called the cumulative promotion index to find graduation rates. School officials in many of the cities studied said the resulting numbers were too low. That is because different areas use different methods to find graduation rates. Critics say many methods do not give a true picture of the number of students who leave high school before finishing.
    Other studies have put the national graduation rate at about 70%. But experts agree that too many students are not completing high school. They estimate the number at more than one million each year. The report was prepared for America’s Promise Alliance. The private group aims to help children receive services they need to succeed.
    General Colin Powell was chairman of America’s Promise Alliance when it was formed in 1997. He attended the press conference Tuesday where the report was released. He said studies have shown that the US must do more to educate the leaders and work force of the future.
    Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings also spoke. She said the government will propose that states use the same methods when reporting graduation rates. Alliance officials also announced the start of a nationwide campaign to improve graduation rates. It is to include a series of meetings to be held in every state over the next two years. The meetings will bring together elected leaders, business owners, students, parents and education officials. They will develop plans to increase the number of Americans who finish high school.
    小题1:The author wants to tell us ___________.
    A．too many Americans do not finish high school
    B．different methods to find graduation rates
    C．services American children need to receive
    D．the increase of the number of Americans who finish their high school
    小题2:From Paragraph 1 we can infer that __________.
    A．there are 8,360,000 people in the US’ fifty largest cities
    B．Wichita in Kansas is the smallest city in the US
    C．50% of the people in the US don’t finish their high school education
    D．high school graduation rates in or near the biggest cities are higher
    小题3: The underlined word “picture” probably can be replaced by “_______”.
    A．situationB．sceneC．imageD．mood
    小题4:From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that _______-.
    A．secretary of Education Margaret Spellings didn’t believe that number from the report
    B．the government will stop using the cumulative promotion index to find graduation rates
    C．secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced the start of a nationwide campaign to improve graduation rates
    D．the low graduation rates should be paid attention to by the government and the society

    What if you could fly like a bird just by thinking happy thoughts? Or you could disappear to a faraway land, never grow old and fight pirates every day? For Peter Pan and his friends, the Lost Boys, these dreams come true.
    More than 100 years after this playful boy was “born”, Peter Pan and his friends are to continue their adventure in a sequel(续集)to J.M. Barrie’s original novel. “Peter Pan in Scarlet”(重返梦幻岛),written by British author Geraldine McCaughrean, was published earlier this month.
    The sequel brings all the original characters back. Peter Pan’s friends, the Lost Boys, are now grown up and live in the real world. What’s more, at the end of the first book, Peter Pan thinks he has killed his enemy, Captain Hook. But ,new readers discover he is not so dead at all.

    For a 400-year-old art form, opera had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which were hard to understand in one of those romantic languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance, operagoers also had a certain appearance in people’s mind: rich, well-dressed and old.
    But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to keep opera alive and take it to a younger and not so wealthy audience.
    Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to associate opera with the common people. That means no formal suits, old-styled theatre or bank-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such usual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
    The Houston Grand Opera’s choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions of child-friendly operas. This summer’s production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists’ Training Program.
    小题1:Which is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Opera is famous for its long history.
    B．Opera is only performed for rich people.
    C．Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive.
    D．Young people are not interested in opera.
    小题2:The underlined phrase in the second paragraph means _________.
    A．breaking up the old rulesB．changing the dresses
    C．making the audience at easeD．advertising themselves
    小题3:Opera companies prefer to perform short versions because _________.
    A．they can be performed in public libraries
    B．short versions are easy to perform
    C．it is hard to find long versions
    D．they can make people interested
    小题4:The San Francisco Opera employs students in order to _________.
    A．celebrate its 75th anniversary
    B．reduce the cost
    C．attract young people
    D．make Cinderella popular
    小题5: From the passage we can infer that _________.
    A．the tickets for opera are very expensive
    B．opera is performed in a difficult language
    C．opera is not so popular an art form today
    D．students enjoy performing opera very much

    World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is to be staged in Shanghai from May1 to October 31, 2010. If you plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, China Pavilion is a must-see area for you.
    China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown（东方之冠）, is located at the center of the Expo site. Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor’s crown, with the upper layers larger than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion consists of a national hall and a regional hall. Construction on the China Pavilion began on December 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion was picked from a total of 344 designs put forward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion possesses both traditional and modern features, which helps develop the theme of the 2010 Expo: “ Better City, Better Life”. For example, it is red in appearance, which contains the elements of traditional Chinese culture, and it is green indoors, with the use of energy-saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract 70 million visitors from across the globe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to accommodate so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a permanent landmark.
    During the Expo, the main structure will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of “ Chinese wisdom in urban development” by explaining the values of harmony, nature and spirit. The three-story pavilion has three sections. The top floor’s “Footprint of the East” will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from Lord of the Rings. On the second floor, “Journey of Wisdom” will explain China’s four great inventions. And the ground’s “Blossoming City” will display scenes from cities of the future.
    小题1:Which of the following words can be used to describe the China Pavilion?
    A．TinyB．Round
    C．Exotic（异国情调的）D．Environmentally-friendly

    Recently, online high schools in America have sparked (激发) a debate about whether or not taxpayers’ money should be used to support online education. Online schools receive the same amount of funding as all other public schools, even though they don’t have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs.
    Some students only use online classes to supplement their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses.
    However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs. 
    Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers can’t give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what they’re having difficulty with.  
    Additionally, even though online schooling accommodates (顾及) students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learn valuable communication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes won’t learn social etiquette (礼节), and will be treated differently by their peers.
    Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers’ money on online schools in extreme cases.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Whether students should study at online schools.
    B．Whether online schools should be allowed to exist.
    C．Whether taxpayers should pay for online schools.
    D．Whether traditional schools should be replaced.
    小题2:According to the passage, online schooling _____.
    A．is helpful to students living in remote regions
    B．allows students to work together
    C．makes it possible for students to get immediate help
    D．develops students’ critical thinking
    小题3:According to Paragraph 5, the author worries that students at online schools _____.
    A．might lose interest in learning
    B．would play online games
    C．could not receive teachers’ help
    D．could not become fully developed
    小题4: What is the author’s attitude?
    A．Taxpayers should not pay for online schools at all.
    B．Taxpayers should pay more for online schools than real schools.
    C．Taxpayers’ money should be spent on online schools conditionally.
    D．Taxpayers should support online schools in different ways.
