                       Letters to the next president

Dear Mr. President:

I would like to personally thank you for your time and concern for our great country. I would like to take a few minutes to address a few concerns that I have with the United States.

First of all, I would like to address the war. In my opinion, we should have never been involved with Iraq to the extent that we are now. I believe we should pull our troops out. However, I think there should be a time table that we follow but the time table should not be released because the enemy does not need to know when we are going to pull out. Also, the war takes out a ton of our money, which leads me to my next issue.

The economy right now, in the opinion of many Americans is the biggest issue with which we are facing right now. No one can predict what will happen one day or the next. The obvious thing to do is to put 700 billion dollars in the economy, but that bill failed and was rejected by the House of Representatives(众议院). Instead of putting 700 billion dollars in, I think the money should be equally distributed among Americans to pay off their debts. I'm not sure if this would work, but I think it is a positive alternative we could take.

My final issue I would like to call to your attention is teacher's salaries. The high school students of today are America's future. In a way, America's future depends greatly on the high school teachers of America. Saying this, it is sad that teacher's salaries are where they are. While teachers are working harder and harder every day to teach high school students, CEO's of big companies that are driving our countries economy into the ground are getting bonuses. I'm not saying that teacher's salaries should be the same of CEO's of companies, but I do strongly believe that action should be taken to increase the salaries of teachers because they have one of the most important jobs in America - - preparing our country for the future.

Once again, thank you for your time and your effort you put in to making this great country a better place.

Sincerely, Walker

(A)
It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he had done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

A. social education B. school education
C. family education       D. pre-school education

第三节：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Strong winds, sand in the air, poor visibility (能见度), we all know the characteristics of a sandstorm. But what else do you know about them?

Did you know, for example, that the first sandstorm of 2009 hit north China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region late February?

Sandstorms are today a feature of life in northern China because of desertification (沙漠化) and the retreat (退化) of the northern grasslands. They usually occur between February and May.

Fortunately, sandstorms this year should be fewer than in past years in north China, according to the National Meteorological Center (中央气象台).

And the chances of sandstorms hitting Beijing are small, because recent rain has stopped drought and reduced dry dirt and dust. Tree planting, and other measures taken by the government, has also helped decrease the chance of sandstorms in the city.

Sandstorms can be dangerous. However, there are measures you can take to protect yourself from harm.

﹡Wear a mask. Cover your nose and mouth with a mask that can keep out sand, or use a damp handkerchief.

﹡If you are driving and the storm is at a distance, it may be possible to outrun (超过) it. If it looks like you will be caught in the storm, stop and wait it out.

﹡Take a cover. If there is no shelter, then lie down. Keep eyes, nose and mouth covered. Cover your head with your arms or a backpack to protect yourself against flying objects.

If you are caught in a desert sandstorm, take the following actions.

﹡Mark your direction before lying down. It is easy to get lost in a desert.

﹡Keep plenty of water at hand. If you get lost, you need water to survive until you find your way or help arrives.

﹡Stay together if traveling in a group. Lock arms if caught in a sandstorm. The most useful measure would actually be to make sandstorms disappear forever. To make this goal come true, people should plant trees, and stop desertification.

Today, the straight-line distance between Tiananmen Square and a desert called Tianmo in Hebei province is only about 80km. If desertification is not stopped, environmental protection experts say, it will probably not be long before Beijingers can catch a camel to work.

56.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. So far in 2009 no sandstorm has happened.

B. Sandstorms usually happen in spring.

C. Sandstorms are a feature of life in China.

D. In sandstorms in cities, what you need to protect yourself from is just the sand in the air.

57.Which may not be the right action to take to protect yourself from harm in a sandstorm?

A. Finding a shelter.

B. Covering your head with a bag.

C. Lying down.

D. When driving, speed up and rush through the sandstorm.

58.What can we infer from the passage ?

A. North China has been suffering from sandstorms for several years.

B. The distance between Beijing and the desert has made the chances of sandstorms hitting Beijing small this year.

C. Planting trees can help make sandstorms disappear.

D. It is more dangerous to be caught in sandstorms in cities because there are more flying objects.

59.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The realities of sandstorm                          B. The cause of sandstorm.

C. The influences of sandstorm                       D. The future of sandstorm.
