Parents on South Australia's Aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) lands may lose some of their financial aid if they do not send their children to school. The new rules draw wide concern.
Mundine is Prime Minister Tony Abbott's top advisor on issues concerning Aboriginals, native Australians. “Now, I know the government needs some necessary measures but I think punishing the parents is really the last choice.” Mr. Mundine says the situation can be changed if the tribal leaders support education. “We need to work with parents and communities because we are making a huge cultural change here.” But other officials say they believe the threat of stopping aid will force families to take education more seriously.
The State of South Australia says it has special programs for Aboriginal children. The students work with their parents and teachers first to develop a personal learning plan and the public schools provide special workers to work individually with Aboriginal students. At the age of seven, Aboriginal students can join a program called Enter for Success designed to attract students to school. The students can choose which high school to attend and receive support in reaching the goals on their individual learning plans.
The State of Western Australia also has special programs for Aboriginal and other ethnic (种族的) groups. The state operates a program called Focus Schools which centers on basic skills like reading, writing and counting. 67% of these public focus schools serve the students in 79 very rural areas. Most of them are primary schools. The Focus Schools program also includes 118 coaches working with students in 134 schools.

A．To develop advanced education.
B．To improve Aboriginal children's school attendance.
C．To get tribal chiefs to support education.
D．To punish parents on South Australia's Aboriginal lands.
2.To change the situation, Mr. Mundine may not agree with ________.
A．cooperating with the parents
B．limiting the economic aid of the families

D．making a cultural change in the communities
3.It is known from the statistics in the last paragraph that ________.
A．the special program is a success

Many great basketball players had clever nicknames (绰号), usually describing the player’s overall style on the court (球场). Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players.
“Tiny”
Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Big Tiny”.
“Magic”
Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.
“The Mailman”
Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time. He also won two Olympic gold medals, as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
“The Iceman”
George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy. He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game, playing in a relaxed way under pressure. Gervin, who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard.
1.Whose nickname has nothing to do with basketball?
A. Nate Archibald’s. B. Earvin Johnson’s.
C. Karl Malone’s. D. George Gervin’s.
2.The underlined word “chagrin” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.

A. He was always as cold as ice.
B. He had a glass of iced beer every day.
