I will manage to stay in harmony with my roommate. Wecan make progress together 55. leave a wonderful memory in both of our life.8VyGnXSYy8PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (30 marks>Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage.8VyGnXSYy8Every evening, 15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables. Her father is disabled, so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents. Despite having precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school. But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.8VyGnXSYy8Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspi re girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are strugglingwith poverty, their lives will not be defined by lim itations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.8VyGnXSYy8 Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them. Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer. 8VyGnXSYy8“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own vil lages.”8VyGnXSYy8“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia. For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates bec ause of her father’sdisability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员> that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, ‘The camp has challenged me to study hard.

It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are. 8VyGnXSYy8Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And itprovides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere. 8VyGnXSYy8Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms. 8VyGnXSYy8 Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects. 8VyGnXSYy8Through the years, Special English has become a very populartool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play themover and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving their students' ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for student use.8VyGnXSYy8 61．At the beginning, Special English programwas .8VyGnXSYy8A．well receivedB．rejected by native peopleC．doubted by some professionalsD．intended for teaching English62．What kind of English is spoken on Special English?8VyGnXSYy8 A．British English.B．American English.C．Both British and American English.D．Not certain.63．Which of the following are the elements that make Special English unique?8VyGnXSYy8a．limited vocabularyb．short simple sentencesb．good communication methodd．slow speede．interesting feature programmingA．a, b, c B．a, c, d C．a, b, d D．b, d, e64．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Special English has been founded for less than 50years.8VyGnXSYy8B．Native English speakers don’t have a great affection for Special English.8VyGnXSYy8C．Special English usually starts with 20 minutes of the latest news.8VyGnXSYy8D．People can learn some idioms from Special English.8VyGnXSYy8 65．From the last paragraph we can infer that .8VyGnXSYy8 A．listening to Special English can be a student’s homework8VyGnXSYy8B．listening to Special English can improve the content of the program8VyGnXSYy8C．some student record the Special English material forsale8VyGnXSYy8D．learning English from VOA is a traditional way for English learner.8VyGnXSYy8CRiding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference; in London, people do not look at each other. Infact, eye contact is avoided at all time. That's not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.8VyGnXSYy8Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection<沉思）.Nor are they reading a book. New techology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.8VyGnXSYy8Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters<乘车上下班的人）.

You can then write inthe "steam" on your phone screen. 8VyGnXSYy8For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod,may be the distraction<消遣）of choice. It's not just teenagers who "plug in" to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the timefor all ages.8VyGnXSYy8And if games, e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm<掌上）DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work.

Generally, obesity happens when a Person uses more calories than he burns up. A child of fat parents is at higher riskto develop obesity.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.8VyGnXSYy8According to a new study, preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys. This doesn’t seem to apply to girls, though. For preschool girls, the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning.8VyGnXSYy8“The study raises questions about having all-boy or all-girl classes for preschool”, says psychologist Arlen Moller, who led the study. She added, “Previous resea rches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-g irl schools. In middle school, however, the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear, and even less is known for very young kids.” To find out, researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old. For each class, teachers recorded the student’s progress over a 6.5-month school year. 8VyGnXSYy8 Their data included scores of motor skills, social skills and thinking skills. Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys.8VyGnXSYy8In majority-girl classrooms, boys developed at the same rate as girls. But in classes where boys were the majority, boys developed more slowly than girls. Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls.8VyGnXSYy8The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning. Because it’s a new finding, researchers don’t know why this differenceexists.8VyGnXSYy8“This is an exciting topic, but it’s too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored,” says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan.8VyGnXSYy881．What is the finding of the researchers led by Arlen Moller?
