FLORENCE, Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and elderly, but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.

Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.

Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become a more vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.

Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.

Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy’s then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants’ children accounting for an even larger percentage of births in Italy.

Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.

Italians always “see me as a foreigner,” an outsider, even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.

1.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?

A. To continue to stay in Italy. B. To teach her children Italian.

C. To find a better job in Italy. D. To better mix with the Italians.

2.Some people worry that the new language requirement may ________.

A. reduce Italy’s population quickly B. cause conflicts among people

C. lead to financial difficulties D. put pressure on schools

3.What do we know about Cojochru?

A. She lives with her sister now in Italy.

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学界） a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side (effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food (be) full of fat and salt; by (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, is not good for the health.

One Monday morning,Mr Li, a famous scholar and schoolmate of our school was invited deliver a speech to us Senior 3 students. Mr Li graduated from our school twenty years ago but then studied in Beijing University. Instead of being a programmer, he followed his heart and become a musician after the graduation. He is now a well-known musician.

In his speech, he said that it was his hard works and efforts that made him who he is today. Though the circumstance was hard, he made fully use of everything to study, which contributed to be admitted to Beijing University. His speech was so inspired that all the students present expressed that we would work harder for a bright future.

Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（颚骨下垂）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles（皱纹） on their forehead and around their eyes.

The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （过早的）signs of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皱眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably（不可避免地） end up with frown lines.’’ Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”

Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients（客户） to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy（脾气暴躁的）face’ without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”

He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”

Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that , after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.
