【题目】How to deal successfully with a child showing outstanding musical ability? Its not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift. Many parents may even fail to recognize and respond to their children’s need until discouragement explodes into uncooperative behavior. And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are especially able in academic subjects,the musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordinary school. Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school.

The five music schools in Britain aim to provide all environment where gifted children can develop their skills under the guidance of professional musicians. Children here spend about half of a day on musical activities,for example,individual lessons,orchestras,chamber(室内音乐的)groups,voice training,conducting and theory. They also spend several hours a day practicing in private rooms. The rest of their time is taken up with the subjects: English, maths and basic sciences.

What are the disadvantages? An obvious problem is that the fees are high. However, each school will offer scholarships and other forms of financial aid. Secondly, not all parents want to send their children to boarding school, especially at an early age. Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such a tense and disciplined (守纪律的) environment. They stress,however, that their main aim is to turn out “well-rounded and well—balanced individual.”

【题目】When Barbra Streisand discovered in 2003 that a photograph of her California beach house was among 12,000 photos on the Internet as part of a collection by photographer Kenneth Adelman, she did what any famous person would do: hit him with a $50 million lawsuit. But in trying to hold back the images, she caused a different outcome. Her legal actions led to almost half a million people visiting the website, viewing and copying the photos within a month.

Ever since then, the effect of letting public know something you are trying to keep secret has been called the “Streisand effect”. The problem for anyone trying to suppress information is that the Internet is the world’s biggest and most efficient copying machine. Put a document on to a connected machine and it will spread. So when you want to be famous, you can’t, but if you find yourself in the spotlight and want to erase yourself, you cannot.

There is no shortage of examples of the Streisand effect. Nine-year-old Martha Payne created a simple blog, posting the meals her school served. She took a photo of what was barely a filling meal by anyone’s standards. With the photo, she filled a comment, “Now Dad understands why I am hungry when I get home.” The thing did not go too far, until the local authority banned little Martha from doing that again. Martha posted a supposedly final post called “Goodbye”, explaining everything. Once the media found this out, things went from bad to worse for the authority. Now the blog has more than 9.5 million page views. Martha has even expanded her blog by including pictures of school meals taken by other kids from all over the world, like Germany and Japan.

We can find similar examples throughout history, to be frank. Man has experienced the Streisand effect ever since the birth of mass communication. Why does it exist? Every time you are told not to see what’s in the secret shiny box wrapped in gift paper, you’re going to do everything in your power to do exactly that! Just realizing that knowing something about someone is harmful to their status, we will want to know that piece of information. This is exactly the human nature. This is what lawyers and authorities should be familiar with. Unfortunately, a few of them fail to grasp it.

【1】The underlined word “suppress” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A. give away B. look into

C. cover up D. search for

【2】What speeded up the spread of Martha’s story?

A. Parents’ complaints.

B. The authority’s order.

C. The photos of other kids.

D. Supporting from the school.

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The root of Streisand effect.

B. The influence of Streisand effect.

C. People’s reaction to Streisand effect.

D. Historical examples of Streisand effect.

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Streisand effect benefits most famous people.

B. It’s not a good idea to argue against authorities.

C. The ban on something may have opposite effect.

D. Turning to the law is a perfct way to get one out of trouble.

【题目】I would never forget the time when we were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.

“Look down, Elsa,” Father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the crisscross (纵横交错) of streets leading to the square.“See, my dear,” Father said gently.“There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”

When I turned to Father for help, he would not interfere (干涉).Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner.The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, “The cook must have gone bad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would deal with the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the following years I often remembered the lesson Father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal.Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

【题目】Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy study at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that does research on many public topics. He says that a long summer vacation doesn’t make sense in today’s world.

Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of children spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.

Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summer time. Many other countries don’t give children an American style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive (连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.

Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stayathome Mum. Now, two thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more a burden than a break. Someone must watch the kids.

But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose ground in the summer time.

Any good suggestion? Yes. A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons. Students would have more time to devote to sports, music and the arts.

To conclude, a long summer vacation can be a great thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated. (313 words)
