    When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.
    The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:
    The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.
    Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
    Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.
    Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.
    The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
    While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess. It’s just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”
    Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
    The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
    They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.
    …
    It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?  
    小题1:What’s the passage mainly about?
    A．The first family daily life.B．The first family rules.

    Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy’s leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23. It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia’s largest city in a month.
    The 15­year­old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney’s northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked. The city’s beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
    “The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing (激烈扭动) about in the water,” police said. “Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
    Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said, “It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore. “There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine.” The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
    Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折). He was in a stable condition now.
    Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy. “I don’t even know if he saw it,” Miller said.
    Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney’s beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare. However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city’s world­famous Bondi beach.
    Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species, including the Great White—the man­eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.
    小题1:The report mainly tells us________.
    A．shark attacks on humans are on the rise
    B．sharks attacked humans three times in one month
    C．a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
    D．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney’s beaches
    小题2: The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “_____”.
    A．attractedB．draggedC．bitD．packed
    小题3: What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
    A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia.
    B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
    C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
    D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney’s beaches.
    小题4: About the injury of the boy we know that________.
    A．he was losing much blood when he was dragged out
    B．he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
    C．he may be in danger of losing his leg
    D．he was injured in the right leg
    小题5: All the following are the causes of Australia’s sharks’ increasing except that___.
    A．environmental protection has created a cleaner environment
    B．a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers
    C．many shark species are protected in Australian waters
    D．the film Jaws has made the Great White famous

    The slogan “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas” has been going strong for 27 years now. Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But some people still haven’t quite got the message.
    The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.
    The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.
    But Eleanor Silk, the Trust’s communications director, says, “It’s often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn’t been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”
    In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children. It’s hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. What’s more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.
    Appreciating what you’re taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect they’ll have on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.
    小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas Gifts.
    B．A pet is for Life, Not just for Christmas.
    C．How to Take Care of Your Pets over Christmas.
    D．Let’s Help Those Abandoned Pets
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for pets to be abandoned?
    A．Pets spread some diseases.
    B．Pets damage some things in the house.
    C．The owners can’t take good care of the pets.
    D．The owners have to move to other places.
    小题3:The underlined words “rounded up” in Paragraph 2 mean “________”.
    A．given out as gifts
    B．thrown away
    C．gathered into one place
    D．raised to make money
    小题4:The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.
    A．how to take best care of Christmas pets
    B．the right time to have a puppy as a pet
    C．the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a pet
    D．the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets
    小题5:Why is the author against the idea of putting a dog in the Christmas stocking as a Christmas gift?
    A．Because these dogs can still cause damage.
    B．Because children will not take dogs seriously.
    C．Because children don’t like to have dogs as Christmas gifts.
    D．Because a Christmas stocking is not big enough to put a dog in.

    Eight-year-old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to the store. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.
    Jesse’s uncle, Vance Folsenzier, ran back into the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this didn’t kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down onto its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.
    At the Baptist hospital in Pensacola, Dr Lan Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I means is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.”
    According to local park ranger (园林管理者) Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky” he says, “Evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in the area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in the area where swimming is allowed.” When reporters asked Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark , he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”
    小题1:What was the boy doing when the accident happened?
    A．Feeding a hungry sharkB．Jumping into a rough sea
    C．Dragging a boy to the shoreD．Swimming in a dangerous area
    小题2:In which way did the boy’s uncle help with the operation?
    A．By finding his lost armB．By shooting the fish
    C．By flying him to hospitalD．By offering his blood
    小题3:How was his uncle in time of danger ?
    A．CarefulB．BraveC．OptimisticD．Patient

    The Cambodian government says more than 378 people died and hundreds more were injured in a stampede (踩踏) during the celebrations of the annual Water Festival late Monday in Phnom Penh.
    Less than 24 hours after the tragedy(悲剧), Cambodia's most serious loss of life in decades(十年), the government founded an organization to investigate(调查) how so many died on what was meant to be one of the nation's most joyous occasions.
    Most of the victims(牺牲品) were young people in their teens and twenties. They were some of the estimated(估计) two million who had flooded to Phnom Penh for the Water Festival, which marks the end of the rainy season.
    Most suffocated on the bridge, which thousands of people were using to leave Diamond Island, an entertainment(娱乐) area in the middle of the river. Others drowned(溺水) after jumping from the bridge into the water.
    Buot Panha, 19, said shortly after 9:30 on Monday evening he ended up trapped(围困) with his friends in the middle of the bridge, fighting to breathe while terrified people struggled all around him.
    Being tall saved his life, since he could stretch(伸出) his neck to take in oxygen(氧气). Shorter people were unable to do that, he says, which may be why two-thirds of the victims were women.
    He tried to help a woman who was trapped with two children near him. She was screaming for people to help. Being tall, Buot Panha grabbed(抓住) one child and pushed him above the crowd to help him breathe.
    But then some of the young men were told to jump off the bridge into the river to make room. So he handed back the child, squirmed his way to the edge, and jumped.
    Some like Buot Panha were fortunate, jumping into the river below and swimming for the shore. But many simply could not move, and died where they lay.
    Buot Panha says his first Water Festival will be his last. He vows(发誓) never to come back.
    小题1:The passage is mainly about ________.
    A．Water Festival celebrationsB．a stampede in Cambodia
    C．a teenager, Buot PanhaD．a woman and her children
    小题2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
    A．It is the biggest tragedy in decades in Cambodia.
    B．It is the most serious loss of life in decades in Cambodia.
    C．The government ordered an investigation.
    D．Water Festival is Cambodia’s most joyous occasion.
    小题3:The underlined word “suffocated” (in Paragraph 4) probably means ________.
    A．breathed inB．felt uncomfortable
    C．died from too little oxygenD．left in a hurry
    小题4:Most of the deaths were caused as a result of _________.
    A．being unable to breatheB．being drowned
    C．violenceD．the rainy season
    小题5:Which of the following is TRUE about Buot Panha according to the passage?
    A．His being tall saved him in the river.
    B．He struggled through the crowd to save one child.
    C．It was his first time to attend the Water Festival alone.
    D．He will never come back to Phnom Penh for the Water Festival.

    Roger Conner is a modern­-day Horatio Alger hero. Roger started out as an unpaid worker in a small flower shop. He has become the owner of a florist company whose sales are well over $100 000 a year.
    One day when Roger was only twelve, he stopped at a local flower shop. He asked the owner if he could work for him, without pay, in order to learn the business. Roger started working every day after school and on weekends. After two years on the job, he finally asked for a small salary. The owners told him he “wasn't good enough to be paid.” So he quit, and found a paying job at another local flower shop. He worked hard there, but after six months they laid him off because business was slow.
    Not discouraged, Roger decided to do it alone and started his own flower store in a basement in his town. He started his business with only sixty­-five dollars. He bought old refrigerators at garage sales and knocked the shelves out. This turned them into coolers for his fresh­-cut flowers. His business grew rapidly as he built up a reputation for top quality and fine service.
    In 1977, Roger bought out the flower store where he had worked without pay for over two years. The people who said he “wasn’t good enough to be paid” were astonished to find that they were being taken over by a teenager. He had plans to renovate (振兴) the whole store.
    One of the reasons the owners sold out to Roger was that the store wasn't doing well. But after Roger took over ownership and redid the store, business started booming. In fact, business was so good that after one year, he celebrated by buying out the other store where he had worked. Roger then combined both stores and moved to a location in the center of his town.
    The new store has 2 000 square feet and seven employees. And he did it all before he reached the age of twenty.
    小题1:The author is wants to show us that people who want to succeed in business should ________.
    A．work without pay
    B．own a flower shop
    C．work hard and never give up
    D．work as teenagers
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．He worked for two years without pay.
    B．He needed luck to be successful.
    C．He opened his first flower business in a basement.
    D．He became successful before the age of twenty.
    小题3:The passage may be a ________.
    A．newspaper reportB．humorous story
    C．television playD．scientific story
    小题4:The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
    A．employed him
    B．didn’t let him work there
    C．paid him money
    D．were proud of him
    小题5:From the passage, a “Horatio Alger hero” may be the kind of person who________.

    Believing overweight among school children is the result of bake sales, the Education Department of New York declared that bake sales will be banned all through the states, as a part of their new “wellness”policy.
    The ban gives a harder time to schools tying to earn money，because of budget difficulties. Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I feel that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”
    New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．
    小题1:The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．
    A．help schools out of budget difficulties
    B．reduce child overweight caused by bake food
    C．help students save money spent on food
    D．reduce the price of bake food sold in schools
    小题2:Which of the following statement about Allie is true? 
    A．He is rich in experience about the bake sales at schoo1.
    B．He agrees to carry out the bake sales ban at schools.
    C．He attaches great importance to the school's income.
    D．He attaches too much importance to students' health.
    小题3:According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________
    A．Don't belong to the bake salesB．Should't be banned at school
    C．Mustn't be sold at schoolsD．can be fully replaced by vegetables
    小题4:Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?
    A．The bake sales.B．The vegetables sales
    C．The walk-a-thons.D．The food product sales．
    小题5:We can infer from the passage that schools in New York always______.
    A．sell baked food to studentsB．free students to choose food
    C．find ways to earn moneyD．offer chances to earn money
