4.I miss you,Dad.I almost laugh out when I see you in myself,from the thinning hair on my head to the ways I respond to everyday things.It makes me realize that you are a part of me and will always be in my heart.It brings me a warm smile as I remember how you taught me about character,honesty,integrity(正直),and self-respect.You taught me to enjoy my work.You taught me to share,for only by giving something do I truly receive something.You taught me about love,as you loved all seven of us children so much.You set a good example to us by being at church each time the door was open.I was watching you as you led our family in prayer(祈祷)each night before going to bed.Through you Dad,I learned what is truly important in life.I now know that you continue to live with me and I hope I have passed the valuable traits down to my kids.

So,parents,especially fathers,remember that you do make a difference by what you teach your children.You can make a difference to the world.
Children,now is the right time to express your love and thanks to your dads for what they do for you.A big hug,a warm thank-you,and living a life of purpose will give them more joy than you can imagine.33.What makes the author laugh out loud is thatB.

3.BEIJING changed the office hours of many institutions starting April 12 in the hope of reducing traffic jams during rush hour.
    The new policy asked 800,000 employees to replace their former working schedule of 8:30 am to 5:30 pm with the new working hours of 9 am to 6 pm.
    This is just one part of the Beijing municipal government's plan to fight traffic jams.Starting April 1,daytime parking fees in 13 downtown areas were raised to encourage less driving.On April 2,the government announced limitations launched after the Beijing Olympics would be extended until April 2012.These ban Beijing's 5.8 million drivers from driving one workday each week.The ban is based on the last number of the car license plate.
    A multi-billion yuan fund has also been set up to build more underground ring roads in heavily populated areas.Major roads above ground will also be expanded.
    According to Beijing's traffic authorities,key projects include repairing major ring roads and expanding the subway network.The city will also create more taxi stops and bike rental stations,probably under the hundreds of overpasses (天桥) citywide.
    Beijing's fight against traffic jams is a smaller example of what is happening all around China.The central government is now supporting new ideas that will change the future of Chinese roads.
    Bus rapid transit (BRT,快速公交系统) is one such idea.Special bus lanes carry almost as many passengers as a subway system.They cost less and are becoming popular in many big cities.Now Beijing has five BRT lines
    Shanghai is dealing with traffic problems by charging higher fees for license plates(牌照).The city is also controlling the total number of plates sold.Now,it is considering a plan to charge cars for entering the central business district,as London does.
    Meanwhile,there are signs that Chinese are more aware of the serious problem of traffic.For example,there has been a sharp increase in the number of posts looking for carpooling (拼车) partners on major websites.
    By the end of March,2010,China had 192 million cars,according to the Ministry of Public Security.

1.The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities.The other test is called the ACT.More than 2million students take the SAT yearly,including about 100,000foreign students.The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words.But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.
The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage.Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages.Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University.She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students.The new test will be easier because of the reform(改革).

Students from other countries,particularly those who did not grow up learning English,may feel it is more difficult.For them,the test is in a foreign language.But the College Board says it has formed a free,online educational service.Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.
