19.The UK's education system is ranked sixth best in the developed world,according to a global league table published by education firm Pearson.
The first and second places are taken by Finland and South Korea.
The rankings combine international test results and data such as graduation rates between 2006and 2010.
Sir Michael Barber,Pearson's chief education adviser,says successful countries give teachers a high status and have a"culture"of education.
International comparison in education have become increasingly significant and this latest league table is based upon a series of global test results combined with measures of education systems,such as how many people go on to university.
The two education superpowers Finland and South Korea are followed by three other high-performing Asian education systems Hong Kong,Japan and Singapore.
The UK is then ranked at the head of an above-average group including the Netherlands,Canada and Ireland.
These are ahead of a middle-ranking group including the United States,Germany and France.
At the lowest end and Mexico,Brazil and Indonesia.
These comparison draw upon tests that are taken every three or four years,in areas such as maths,science and literacy and so present a picture lagging(滞后)by several years.
Looking at education systems that succeed,the study concludes that spending is important,but not as much as having a culture that is supportive of learning.It says that spending is easier to measure,but the more complex impact of a society's attitude to education can make a big difference.
"The success of Asian countries in these rankings reflects the high value attached to education and the expectations of parents.This can continue to be a factor when families migrate to other countries,"says the report.
Looking at the two top countries Finland and South Korea,the report says that there are many big differences,but the common factor is a shared social belief in the importance of education and its"underlying moral purpose"

48.According to the passage,we can infer the news was likely to be published in a newspaper ofA.
A.UK            B.Finland          C.South Korea     D.Japan
49.The rankings are based on the following EXCEPTD.
A.a series of global test results
B.the number of people in university
C.graduation rates
D.the number of teachers
50.What is the main idea of the passage?C
A.The UK's education system is out of date.
B.The education in Asia is better than that in Europe
C.The latest global league table published by education firm Pearson.
D.The situation of the world education.

9.[1]China will change the world as much as the world changes China,if the country continues its opening up.
[2]How could it not?The rest of the world cannot remain unaffected by the culture of one-fifth of humanity.As China strengthens its economy,allows its citizens more overseas travel and participates in global efforts,the West surely will learn more about Chinese ways.
[3]And once it does,its people might choose to adot some of them.
[4]It might surprise Chinese that Westerners            .When I announced my Beijing job to American friends,family and neighbors,they were very curious and mostly uninformed about China.
[5]Our media carries little news about China except during unusual circumstances,which typically are times of stress between the two countries.We hear about arguments with China over climate change,Taiwan and Tibet,but that doesn't tell average Americans anything about average Chinese.
[6]Most American-don't know that Chinese weddings feature firecrackers; that Chinese parents make extraordinary sacrifices for their children; that Chinese diners eat off plates smaller than any on a Western table; that favorite Chinese drinks include hot soy milk and the potent white-grain alcohol,baijiu; and that elderly Chinese sometimes walk down streets backwards to keep their balancing skills sharp.
[7]Westemers will learn as they and the Chinese increasingly mingle(接触).As they do there's no telling which Chirac customs will take root in foreiffl soil.but some of them surely will.
[8]Maybe we'11 see baijiu and green tea served at baseball stadiums along with beer and soda pop.That wouldn't make the game any less American.
[9]Meanwhile,I hope China continues to take in what the world has to offer and transform it into something typically Chinese.To think that exposure to Western ways weakens China,instead of strengthens it,assumes the country's culture is fragile.That's a surprising attitude for any Chinese to take.

4.It's a fact that we all dream.Some dreams seem to last for hours,others only for seconds.Some of us have strange dreams,some have interesting dreams,and some of us have unpleasant dreams.Tests in the 1980s showed that these dreams occur within 90-minute cycles,each cycle made up of six stages.In the last stage people experience rapid eye movement,known as REM,and it is in this stage that dreaming takes place.Eighty percent of people who were woken during this sixth stage could easily remember their dreams.On the other hand,when during the first five stages (NREM),only seven percent could describe a dream.
However,of these same people woken during thO6e first five stages,74% were able to remember thinking activity,although they would not call it a dream.NerysDee,who has written about dreams in a book called"Your Dreams and What They Mean"says:"Perhaps during NREM sleep we are sorting out our outer mundane problems,but in REM sleep we are dealing with inside matters."She also makes the following statement about 90-minute cycle:It may also prove the reason why insomniacs who wake in the middle of the night find it impossible to get to sleep again for at least an hour and a half.In other words,until they have missed out one complete 90-minute sleep period.

But an amazing thing happened.Many people began sending messages of support across the Internet.Martha's story was even bigger than before.Now the officials had to change their minds.A few days later,Martha was again writing her blog.But more than that,people had sent a lot of money for the Malawi school children.Martha had hoped to raise about 10,000dollars.But the total reached 100,000dollars and still kept on growing!
Martha's blog also helped to improve meals at her school.One day she wrote:As we waited for dinner we were told that we are allowed to eat as much fruit and bread as we want.
No one knows what will happen to Martha's blog in future.But already this little girl has helped to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing on the Internet pictures of her school meals.
