Female Chinese space pioneers?
CHINA plans to recruit(招募) women astronauts thanks to the lobbying(游说) of the leading women’s organization. Gu Xiulian, president of the All-China Women’s Federation(ACWF) (全国妇联), said on Saturday that she put forward a proposal that women be trained for space missions after the manned space flight last October. And it was accepted by the central authorities, local media reported. But the plan to recruit female astronauts has yet to be worked out, according to sources close to the astronaut-training programme.
Beijing needs mental health care
MORE than 1,000 people committed suicide(自杀) in Beijing last year, and experts have been encouraging the capital to set up a mental health care system as soon as possible, local media reported last week.

No need to fear your licence plate
CAR licence plates in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, will not have the number “four” from this month on ---a move that has led to heated discussion among officials, schools and residents.

Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.

At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.

As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”

The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.

1.The passage is mainly about _____________.

A. how to manage school lessons????????

B. how to deal with the financial crisis

C. teaching young people about money???

D. teaching students how to study effectively

2.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.

A. the author complains about the school education??

B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract

B. promote the connection of schools and families

C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament???

D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education

4.According to Pfeg, ___________.

A. it is easy to keep good habits long??????????????

B. teenagers spend their money as planned

On the morning of Apr. 20, different from any other Saturdays, a powerful earthquake which measured 7.0 magnitude occurred in Ya’an, Sichuan Province. The quake happened close to the area where 70,000 died when another powerful hit took place in 2008. The 4.20 earthquake shook Sichuan with 208 people missing or dead. Nearly 14, 000 are reported to have been injured. Thousands of buildings collapsed, leaving victims homeless. Water and electricity supplies were cut off, which left concerns about the welfare of the survivors. In Lushan, where the most of the damage was concentrated, facilities of communication broke down. Victims lost contact with the outside world.

All the country have been shocked at the tragic news. Numerous relief is pouring in from all over China to the victims of the Lushan earthquake. Governments of all levels have taken some efficient measures to relieve the impact of earthquake. On Sunday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang made it to the worst-stricken Lushan, issuing several statements to ensure rescuing the buried and other injured people. Meanwhile, he visited some of those being treated for their injuries in the temporary hospitals set up with an open-air emergency facility. Rows of Red Cross tents are now home to some of the thousands left homeless by this deadly earthquake. State media says thousands of troops along with volunteers help with the rescue operation and to hand out supplies.

People from across the country are called on to donate to relieve and help rebuild the earthquake-hit area. Lots of students ranging from university students to kindergarten kids have given away their pocket money just to do their own bit in this relief campaign. Hong Kong special government at first proposed to donate 100 million HONG Kong dollars, which was rejected by some of members of government’s parliament（议员）, who questioned whether China’s Red Cross could put every cent into practical use honestly, for in 2008 Wenchuan earthquake China’s Red Cross failed to make it clear how they spent the charity money. Anyway the proposal was at last passed on May 3. At the same time, China’s Red Cross, determined to make a bit change, promised to give a detailed account of where every cent would go.

Americans are thinking about national education standards recently developed by teachers and other education experts. The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.

The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What is the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to the individual states.

Local control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.

Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live. They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student scores on tests required by the No Child Left Behind Act.

Kara Schlosser is communications director for the Council of Chief State School Officers. She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.

Forty-eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states reject the idea. Critics(批评家) say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee(保证) excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the proposal will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still others fear federal interference or control.

Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify(合格) for some federal grant money.

1．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Local Control of Education Standards out of Date

B．American National Education Standards under Consideration

C．Education Standards in Each State – Good or Bad

D．Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States

2．Why is local control of education no longer a good idea today?

A．Because local standards are limited.

B．Because it is required by the federal government.

C．Because people today moves among states more often than before.

D．Because America has never has the same school standards thought the country.

3．Some people are against the national education standards because_______.

A．the standards are higher than those of each state

B．the are nor yet prepared for the new standards

C．the standards may prevent some students gaining excellence

D．they don’t want the federal government to train their teachers

4．If a state agrees to accept the motional standards, it will probably get_______.

A．more students B．advice on how to improve teaching

C．better textbooks D．money from the federal government

Japan's 24-hour convenience stores, already struggling with lagging sales and growth, may soon face yet another threat - moves to limit business hours and close the stores late at night. The district of Saitama, which borders Tokyo, may follow in the footsteps of the western city of Kyoto and urge convenience stores to close during late night hours in an effort to limit carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）emissions, Japanese media reported.

Kyoto, a former capital, wants to persuade convenience and other 24-hour stores to close late at night so as to improve evening views of the city and cut down on energy use. The Nikkei business daily said closures could last from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. The move is strongly opposed by the industry, which fears a bad impact on an already troubled sector also grappling with the specter of a higher tobacco tax, which could hit overall sales.

"Even if we only operate the stores for 16 hours, we can't stop the refrigerators," said Toshiro Yamaguchi, the president of Seven-Eleven Japan Co, which is owned by Seven & I Holdings Co Ltd, at a news conference in Saitama on Tuesday. He said such cuts in operating hours would reduce each store's profit by 20 percent. "If this happens, our current business model will lose its foundation."

Analysts said that while it is difficult to estimate the potential impact of the move without a concrete plan, their overall impression was that it was likely to be negative. "This could cut profits and lead to less efficient operations and the increased loss of opportunities," said Masafumi Shoda, an analyst at Nomura Securities. "But it depends on the store -- urban stores do better than others. There are some in the countryside that are inefficient."

Some have suggested that if governments were sincere about reducing carbon emissions there were much more efficient methods, such as cutting back on the huge number of automatic vending machines（自动售货机）

1.Which of the followings was the first to try to limit convenience store hours?

A. Saitama B. Tokyo C. Kyoto D. Nomura Security

2.What's the main goal of the proposal?

A. To give employees more free time.

B. To limit carbon dioxide emissions.

C. To sell more tobacco products.

D. To reduce each store’s profit.

3.How's the convenience store sector doing in Japan?

A. It is not mentioned. B. It's doing great. Business is booming.

C. Not very well. D. It’s about to close.

4.According to the passage, which convenience stores are generally more successful?

A. The ones in big cities. B. The ones in the countryside.

C. The ones in Tokyo. D. The ones in Saitama.

5.According to the convenience store industry, what impact would closing for the night have on a typical store?

A. It could cause a 10% increase in sales.

B. Its effect would be maximal. It would close soon.

C. Its effect would be minimal. People would simply shop earlier.

D. It could cause a 20% decrease in profits.

The proposal has received a ________ favourable reaction．
