3.Thousands of teenagers will be able to transfer to a new wave of"studio schools"at the age of 14to improve their chances of finding a job in UK.A dozen new-style schools are designed to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs--young people not in education,employment or training.
Under plans,schools will operate longer days and work outside standard academic terms.
Each pupil will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with businesses linked to the school and teenagers will be assigned a personal coach to act as an academic"line manager".
The reforms are put forward due to the fears that too many teenagers are now finishing full-time education lacking the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.According to a recent report,more than two-thirds of employers believe school and college leavers lack important"employability skills"such as customer awareness,while 55per cent say they are unable to manage their time or daily tasks.And the number of NEETs has hit a record high,with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or training place.
The Department for Education will announce the establishment of 12studio schools--meeting the need of around 3,600teenagers--in areas such as Liverpool,Stevenage,Stoke-on-Trent and Fulham,west London.Each one,opening in 2012,will be linked to a series of local employers.Under plans,pupils will be able to transfer out of ordinary schools to attend them between the age of 14and 19.
The Government said all subjects would be taught"through projects,often designed with employers"--with disciplines such as science being linked directly to local engineering firms or hospitals.Schools will operate a longer day to give pupils a better understanding of the demands of the workplace.Along with their studies,pupils will carry out work placements for four hours a week,rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16to 19.They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications linked directly to the needs of local employers.

68.According to the passage,the NEETs are referred to those whoD.
A.often miss classes from school
B.refuse to take any kind of part-time jobs after school
C.depend on their parents to find jobs after they graduate
D.have no jobs without accepting education and work training
69.Compared to ordinary schools,studio schools will offer the young moreB.
A.interesting and lovely cartoons to make study easier
B.chances to get future jobs with expert job training
C.possibilities to make friends without going outside
D.lessons helping them to be admitted to universities
70.What makes the government decide to found studio schools?C
A.The determination to solve the problem of lacking workers.
B.The doubt about whether full-time education is perfect.
C.The worry about educated people lacking working skills.
D.The increasing number of teens who drop out early.
71.What may most probably attract senior high school students at studio school?A
A.They can find suitable jobs earlier with good qualification.
B.They will be admitted to top companies with received training.
C.They needn't go to university thanks to received training here.
D.They may have more free time to find part-time jobs after school.

13.It was Thanksgiving morning.I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang.I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
"Any old papers,lady?"asked one of them.
I was busy.I wanted to say"no"until I looked down at their feet.They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋),wet with heavy snow.
"Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa."
They walked over and sat down at the table.Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor.I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside.Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me.I looked in.The girl held the empty cup in her hands,looking at it.The boy asked in a flat voice,"Lady,are you rich?"
"Am I rich?Pity,no!
I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套).The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said,"Your cups match your saucers."They left after that,holding their papers against the wind.They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence.But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup.Potatoes and brown meat soup,a roof over our heads,my man with a regular job,these matched,too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room.The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor.Let them be for a while,I thought,just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

8.More and more people are aware that an afternoon nap(小睡) can do a body good.But there are still doubters out there.To help spread the power of the afternoon nap,we list some common misunderstandings about napping we still hear.
Misunderstanding#1:Napping is only for the lazy.
Fact:Around a third of American adults nap on the average day,and for good reason:A short nap can improve everything from alertness(警觉) and memory to creativity and productivity(生产效率).And none of these sounds like laziness to us!
Misunderstanding#2:If I take a nap,I'll only wake up feeling worse.
Fact:That weak feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name:sleep inertia),but it's not a guarantee(保证).How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep.Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30minutes."If it takes longer than 30minutes,you end up in deep sleep.You're going into a stage of sleep where you find it very difficult to wake up."said sleep expert Michael J.Breus,Ph.D.Next time you're in the mood for a nap,set your alarm for 20to 30minutes,tops.
Misunderstanding#3:You mustn't nap at work.
Fact:In fact,in the office environment,we're all for catching a few winks (眨眼) during the workday.Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce.If your employer doesn't offer a place to lay your head,try to find an empty conference room where you can close the door and turn off the lights.Really want.You can also take a nap during your lunch break on a park bench or in your car.
Misunderstanding#4:I'll be more productive if I just finish this task,rather than waste time sleeping.
Fact:Yes,you'll be away from your desk if you spend 10to 30minutes sleeping.But you'll likely make up for that"wasted"time afterward."My research shows that people feel tired after a long time of work during the day,"Sara Mednick told Bloomberg Businessweek."It's difficult to keep energetic and productive all day."However,a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to deal with the task at hand.

12.The Olympic flame
   The Olympic Flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics,where a flame burned at the altar(祭坛)of Zeus throughout competition.It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games,and again burned in 1932.
   Carl Diem,chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games,proposedthat the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay.The idea was adopted(采纳)and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a carved mirror.It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times,who then pass it to the first relay runner.
  The Olympic motto
"Citius,altius,fortius"is a Latin phrase meaning"swifter,higher,stronger",which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Dideon of Paris.Dideon was the headmaster of Arcueil College,and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school.He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand School,where the Latin words were carved in the stone above the main entrance.
The Olympic oath
"In the name of all competitors,I promise that we shall take part in these Olympi c Games,respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them,in the true spirit of sportsmanship,for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams."
  Written by Baron de Coubertin,the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag.The athletes'oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games.A judge from the host country also speaks the oath,with slightly different wording.

13.About 97% of the world's water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas.But,as we can't drink seawater,how can it be important?
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths.Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food.These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen.In fact,algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe.How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain.The algae are eaten in large amounts by tiny animals,which are in turn consumed by larger animals.These food chains are delicately (微妙地) balanced.
The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man.People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn't matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food.But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully,the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats.Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions (限制) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution.Finally,the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people.This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future.We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet.How important seawater is!
32.People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the seaD.
A.wouldn't harm the fish in the sea
B.would change the balance of the food chain
C.would be broken down in the sea
D.wouldn't do much harm to the sea
33.From the passage,we learn thatC.
A.most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B.it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C.over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
D.it won't be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
34.Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?B
A.The use of international agreements.
B.Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C.The use of new techniques.
D.Raising people's awareness of the need to protect oceans.
35.What would be the best title of the passage?A
A.The Importance of Seawater.
B.Life in the Oceans.
C.How to Protect Food Chains.
D.How to Deal with Seawater Pollution.
