  They cannot vote which nations should have a seat on theUnited Nations Security Council(安理会),but ordinary people have shown their feelings.

  By Tuesday afternoon,over 11.5 million people in andoutsidede China had signed an online petition(请愿)saying Ja-pan should not succeed in its bid(申词)for an everlasting seat on the Security Council.

  The loud call is due to the historical facts in World WarⅡ.Some Japanese politicians said their country is ready to play a more active role in world affairs,and their country's contribution can no longer be limited to economic fields.

  The petition by 11.5 million people tells Japan that mon-ey alone cannot buy their hearts.

  A new history textbook that a right wing Japanese organization has handed out for official agreement goes so far as to paint Japan as a“victim”in World warⅡ.Its authors even say that China started all the wars between the two countries.Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi turned down an in-vitation to a grand party in Moscow on May 9 to celebrate the 60.th anniversary of the end of War World Ⅱ.Koizumi's absence will do nothing but encourage more probes(追究)into his country's historical baggage.

  Japanese politicians continue to visit the Yasukuni Shrine(靖国神社).Wartime leader and war criminal Hideki Tojo,as well as five other hanged war crimials,are buried at the shrine.They talk about peace during the visits and ask theirAsian neighbors to understand Japanese culture,which re-quires them to visit Shinto shrines to mark seasonal celebrations.But they don't see the pains that the Japanese invasion(侵略)brought on other Asian countries.How can a nationsleep with such a history on its conscience(良心)?The a-mount of money Japan gives the United Nations does not nec-essarily give the country the role in international affairs.Neither will an everlasting seat on the Security Council free Japanfrom its historical baggage.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.

Junior Achievement is an international movement to educate young people about business and economics. It has helped many of them succeed in a world economy since it was founded.

The organization is the largest of its kind. JA Worldwide says it reaches over eight million students each year in more than one hundred countries. Programs begin in elementary school and continue through middle and high school. The education is based on the ideas of market-based economics and entrepreneurship.

Junior Achievement began in 1919 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Two business leaders, Horace Moses and Theodore Vail, joined with Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts to start it.

For more than fifty years, Junior Achievement programs met after school. They began as a group of business clubs. The organization started with a number of children of ages ten to twelve.

But in nineteen seventy-five, Junior Achievement began to offer classes during school hours. Many more young people joined the organization once it began to teach business skills as part of the school day.

Volunteers from the community teach about businesses, such as how they are organized, and how products are made and sold. They also teach about the American and world economies and about industry and trade.

The Junior Achievement Company Program teaches young people how entrepreneurship works. They learn about business by operating their own companies.

The students develop a product and sell shares in their company. They use the money to buy the materials they need to make their product, which then they sell. Finally, they return the profits to the people who bought shares in the company.

Junior Achievement says two hundred eighty-seven thousand volunteers support its programs around the world. In the United States alone, there are more than twenty-two thousand places that hold Junior Achievement events.

Junior Achievement Incorporated and Junior Achievement International combined their operation in two thousand four. They formed Junior Achievement Worldwide. Its headquarters are in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Early in 1980, a magazine called Good Housekeeping printed an amazing article. It was the true story of twins who met for the first time —when they were 39 years old. The twins were separated when they were five weeks old and adopted by different families.

In 1979 they found each other. They found out that they were both named Jim. Although they had never met, they had both been married to women named Linda. Of course, they looked exactly alike. They also walked alike, laughed alike, and even talked alike.

How would you find other articles about twins? The Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature helps you find magazine articles. Look at the section of the Readers’ Guide below. Study the sample entry.
