orea
While many oreans prefer Western-style weddings in which the bride wears a white wedding dress，some couples are still carrying out the“Pyebae”一a orean wedding custom．The Pyebae is held after the official ceremony，and is when the bride pays respects to her parents-in-law for the first time．The new couple bow deeply before the parents，and they echange jujube(枣)and chestnuts(栗子)一symbols for children and good fortune．
——Sujean Par，HuffPost orea
Japan
For Japanese weddings，it’s customary for guests to bring cash as a gift for the new couples．The amount depends on the guest’s relationship with the couple—on average，friends would give$300，and family members many give up to$1000．
The bills should be unfolded，freshly printed．They’re typically put in a special envelope signed by the guests．Guests leave the envelopes at a reception des at the ceremony and receive wedding favors in return．
——Ryan Taeshita，HuffPost Japan
Brail
In Brailian weddings，the best man cuts the groom’s tie into several pieces and sells them to the wedding guests at whatever price they choose to pay for it．The money that’s collected usually goes toward the couple’s honeymoon．
Brailian weddings wouldn’t be complete without pastries called“bem-casados”，or“happily married”．These are tiny sweet caes with a condensed mil(炼乳)filling that are meant to bring good luc to the new couples．

Bill Gates recently predicted that online learning will mae place-based colleges less significant，and five years from now，students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online．I applaud Mr．Gates．But what’s taing us so long?
As early as 1997，MIT(麻省理工)decided to post videos of all university lectures online，for free，for all people．But today，how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately，the answer is not many．The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the eperience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people，but it’s not lie pla ying a video game such as World of Warcraft．Only the most ardent students，those who are highly motivated，will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos．
The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms．Where is the Avatar of education? Thin about this．The maret for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD．Education in the world is a trillion—dollar-a-year maret，hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies．Yet the most epensive digital learning system ever built cost well
under 100 million dollars．
Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen．There is no doubt about it．But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and eperiences that engage and ecite more than has ever been possible in the real world．
9.What has Bill Gates forecast about online 1earning?
A.It will concentrate on physics lectures．
B.It will play an increasingly important role in education．
C.It will help to mae universities more successful．
D.It will completely replace real universities．
10.What does the underlined word“ardent”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Creative．
B.Well-behaved．
C.Enthusiastic．
D.Eperienced．
11.According to the author，what is holding bac the popularity of online learning?
A.The lac of lectures available online．
B.The high cost of access to the websites．
C.The low standard of educational websites．
D.The competition with online computer games．
12.Why does the author mention Hollywood?
A.To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites．
B.To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment．
C.To argue that movie directors should produce educational content．
D.To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies．

Why should manind eplore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent eploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often ased.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic maeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The
wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for eploring space is this genetic tendency to epand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civiliation has eplored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without nowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With nowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Eploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. nowledge or techniques have been acquired through eploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other unepected benefits, including improvements in earthquae prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stic pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space, the chance to save ourselves might not eist.
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the eploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and eplanations of how the universe was formed or how it wors, it also holds dangers. The danger eists, but nowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not eist.
While Earth is the only planet nown to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
13. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?
A. To epress his doubts.
B. To introduce points for discussion.
C. To compare different ideas.
D. To describe the conditions on Earth.
14. What is the reason for eploring space based on Paragraph2?
A. Humans are nature-born to do so.
B. Humans have the tendency to fight.
C. Humans may find new sources of food.
D. Humans don’t lie to stay in the same place.
15. What maes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A. Our genetic maeup.
B. Resources on the earth..
C. By-products in space eploration.
D. The adaptive ability of humans.

Senior High School Students' Outside Reading
As is shown in the chart, senior high school students spend less time on out–of–class reading as their grade rises. On average, students in Senior One spend seven hours on reading per wee and those in Senior Two four hours, with Senior Three students spending only two hours on reading.
There are several reasons for this. First, most students don't attach enough importance to outside reading. As a consequence, their spare time is often taen up by other activities. Second, with their grade becoming higher, they have more homewor to do, leaving less spare time for reading.
In my opinion, it is very important for students to do more reading to broaden their horions. Meanwhile, teachers should encourage their students' out–of–class reading by offering them a list of good boos.
