Boys and girls, welcome to Elite Secondary School! I’m Mr. Green, in charge of this school. I’d like to introduce you to various aspect of our school, from our history to our buildings and activities. Elite Secondary School set up in 1960. In the past fifty years, Elite had experienced a lot of changes and developments. Our school finally decided to move to Aberdeen in 1990, due to the lack of the space. The school campus now was almost three times larger than the previous one. We even have three libraries which are available with all the teachers and students. As for laboratories, they have two Physics labs, two Chemistry labs, and a Biology lab which was established last year. Students here always have an enjoyable time at school because there is a widely range of extra-curricular activities for them to choose. We try to provide as much activities for our students as possible. Elite Secondary School is committed to providing the highest level of education to the children. Thank you for your time.

A disheveled (头发凌乱的) man appeared in court Thursday on charges of murdering a Chinese woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam(摄像头) by her boyfriend in China. Police refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive.

  The body of York University student Liu Qian, 23, of Beijing, was found Friday in her apartment in Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack, police said.

  She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or trauma (创伤) severe enough to kill her. Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy (尸体解剖) are known.

  Brian Dickson, 29, stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of first- degree murder was read out. He did not enter a plea. His case was held over until April 26.

  Dickson was arrested Wednesday. Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media not to publish any photos of Dickson, saying it could compromise the investigation. Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further.

  Liu’s father, Liu Jianhui, who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter’s death, thanked authorities for their quick action.

  “I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter’s case,” he told reporters after the arrest. “Our daughter was studying very hard.”

  Police released no motive or details about Dickson, but one friend described the Toronto man as an aspiring actor.

   Patricia Tomasi, a friend of Dickson’s, told The Associated Press that she acted in a play at a local theater in Toronto with Dickson in 2007.

   “He doesn’t seem like the type but that’s what they always say,” Tomasi said. “He’s tall with boyish good looks. I don’t know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor.”

   Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics, but did not earn a degree from there.

   He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada (ACC), where he served as an assistant to the president Juilie Lindhout. According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of Canada, Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in Literacy, a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan.

   A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to comment on staff, but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(实习生) with the council from September 29, 2008, until March 27, 2009.

   Liu was chatting with her boyfriend, Meng Xianchao, by webcam at about 1 am. Friday when a man knocked on the door, police said.

   Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu’s webcam was shut off. Meng contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police.

   The victim’s father, Liu Jianhui, said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to Canada, where she met Meng.

   Liu Qian’s laptop computer, webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of the attack, police said. Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded, though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it.

   York University, whose campus is located near one of Toronto’s rougher neighborhoods, is one of Canada’s largest universities with more than 53,000 undergraduate and graduate students. About 3,200 of York’s students come from more than 150 foreign countries, the university’s website says.

Traditional fairytales(童话) are being given up by parents because they are too scary for their young children, a study found.

Research uncovered that one in five parents has got rid of old literature such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favor of more modern books.

One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the gruesome details of Little Red Riding Hood.

And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplesliltshin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and killing.

Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it forgives stealing.

The survey of 2,000 adults was completed to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM ( 格林童话剧) , which starts tonight at 9pm on Watch, and sees six drama series based on traditional fairytales.

The survey found a quarter of parents questioned wouldn’t consider reading fairytales to their kids.

And 52 percent of the parents said Cinderella didn’t send a good message to their children as it describes a young woman doing housework all day.

Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: "Bedtime stories are supposed to calm children down and send them off to sleep soundly.But as we see in GMMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five - year - old child could take them too literally.Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story."

The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.The most popular book read at bedtime is now 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle.

However half of parents said traditional tales are "more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids' books, such as The Gruffato, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.

63. Classical works for children are being avoided by parents they think      .

C. they encourage stealing, kidnapping and killing

D. they are tired of answering questions

64. What does the underlined word "gruesome" mean?

A. Very horrible    B. Very amusing      C. Very disappointing     D. Very amazing

A. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Cinderella

B. The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Little Red Riding Hood.

C. The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Mr. Men

D. Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Cinderella

66. According to Steve Hornsey , adults can see innocence in a fairy tale but a 5-year-old child might ______.
