[1]Peer tutoring(同伴指导)benefits many students in several ways．Peer tutors can help themselves in understanding materials．They have to master the material themselves and come to a deeper understanding to teach others rather than getting taught by a teacher．
[2]Peer tutors get communication and social skills by tutoring．In order to communicate the meaning of material clearly and make it understood, they must practice the necessary skills to communicate with other people．These skills also carry over socially as it's much easier, especially for shy children to communicate with someone than to communicate with a large group as in a classroom．It's common for the tutor and his student to become friends．Developing leadership skills, confidence and a sense of responsibility is easy for a tutor．The tutor becomes a better student, gains more confidence and understands the teacher's role better．
[3]Those ________ can also benefit greatly from peer tutoring．Since the tutors are of the same age as the students, it's more comfortable for the children who have trouble with the material and in need of help to get taught by the same age tutors．This will allow them to ask more questions without fear and to come to a better understanding of the material．The tutor may be able to pass on little tips and tricks that helped him understand the material better．
[4]The process of peer tutoring works for all the related people．It's easy to relate to someone of the same age．The tutor learns to improve skills useful later in life．The teacher has more time to concentrate on students．It's a winning situation for everyone．

Hundreds of new drivers taken to the road and traffic accidents can be seen easily in many cities every day．According to a report from the authority, more than 80％ of the traffic accidents were caused by new drivers last year．Another shocking report from some Traffic Departments in Hangzhou says： more than half of the traffic accidents and deaths in the area for the first ten months of last year involved new drivers．
So how to avoid the accident?For almost all new drivers, they would try a way of using signs in their car windows like “I’m new”, “New on the road, pay attention” or “Don’t kiss me, I’m shy” so that they could get much sympathy(同情)from other drivers．But since a new rule on driver safety took effect in Shenzhen on March 30, 2004, new drivers in Shenzhen can’t do that any longer．Although the signs are cute, they could get you a 100-yuan fine(罚款)．So new drivers in Shenzhen find themselves under more pressure now for the new rules．
Why are signs not allowed to be used by new drivers?One of the reasons is that some experienced drivers think those funny or “creative” signs sometimes attract their attention．When they are out of mind, traffic accidents will happen and some think the signs can block(遮挡)the drivers’ view so they can’t see the road clearly．However, most new drivers point that driving at a high speed is the main reason for traffic accident．
Even though they have the license, the new drivers haven’t improved much and got enough experience．So I think it’s not such a bad thing to put those signs up．On the contrary, both experienced drivers and new drivers may benefit(受益)．For experienced drivers they’re a warning; for new drivers they’re a kind of safety screen．
Examples that show new drivers involve more traffic accidents than experienced drivers：
Example 1．(1)________
Example 2．In Hangzhou, more than half of them for the first ten months of last year were caused by new drivers．
What do most new drivers do to avoid the accident?
(2)________
Experienced driver’s opinions about that：
First： The signs attract their attention．
Second：(3)________
Then a new rule took effect in Shenzhen．Signs are not allowed to be used by new drivers．
However, what is the author’s opinion?
(4)He thinks ________
For many businessmen online education has been a dream．Now it has come true．The investment （投资） in higher education, whether financial or in terms of time, has long been impossible for many of them．But well-known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet-based program, and these barriers(障碍) have been lifted．
That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers．It is also a benefit to industry with better qualified candidates（候选人） applying for jobs at every level．
Having the benefits of a higher qualification（资格） without going to the university campus is attractive to many students．Campus study means greater cost, while online programs are flexible and save time, whether at home or at work．Students can achieve their degrees without causing too much disruption to their career or home life．
In addition to affordable, flexible（灵活） classes and greater convenience, students also have access to the online learning resources of many of the world’s top educational institutions．They can also communicate with their tutors no matter what time it is or whether either party is away for any reason．
This has opened up the possibility of getting a qualification from a university or college that many students could only have dreamed of in the past．It also allows specialists to get the precise qualifications and focus on their studies．As well as seeing the increase of applicants from lower-incomes and housewives, studying online in the US is even becoming popular with younger people of college age．
Employers have become increasingly welcome and positive to online qualifications as more candidates earn them, especially if they’re properly approved by the US Department of Education．
US institutions have led the way in online education provision（供给）．Many top US colleges and universities offer a range of online programs that are highly respected and in every way perfectly fit for adults who need to combine their studies with a working life．

On Wednesday, the Chinese government, decided to increase its medical subsidies(补贴) for farmers from 10 Yuan (US$1.23) to 20 Yuan (US$2.47) a head a year from 2006.
As part of the country's healthcare reform programme, the co-operative rural （农村）medical system was first introduced in 2003 to set up self-help among farmers on a voluntary basis. Due to insufficient government input to finance hospitals that are mostly State-owned, the country's healthcare reform has largely turned out to be a failure, adding hugely to the financial burden on the public.
While everyone complains about quickly-rising medical costs, rural residents are suffering more than their urban(城镇) cousins because of a lack of money, as well as not being able to enjoy high quality health services. At present, farmers earn on average only one-third of what urban residents make. Most of the country's medical resources are located in cities even though rural residents make up two-thirds of the population.
Poor health conditions make it more difficult to help farmers get out of poverty; and poverty, in turn, refuses farmers the chance to improve their health. To end this vicious circle, policy-makers tried the co-operative medical system, with a small sum of central and local financial support for each rural participant. But the system has proved to be less than perfect. Due to the limited financial input, the programme still does not benefit the majority of farmers in a significant way. This has reduced many farmers' enthusiasm for participating. A high percentage of involvement is of course a precondition for such a system.
The central government intends to expand the programme into a national medical system by 2008. Increasing government subsidies is a necessary step to make the co-operative medical system more attractive to farmers. But an increase of 10 Yuan for each participant is surely far from enough to perfect the system. The total cost is not particularly heavy compared to the rapid growth in government revenue(财政).
Clearly, policy-makers are becoming increasingly aware of how urgent the narrowing of the development gap between rural and urban areas really is. Besides economic policies to push the rural economy, large amount of government investment on improving rural healthcare and education is badly needed.
1. Compared with that in 2006, what will be the rate of coming increase in China’s medical subsidies for farmers?
A. 100% B. 50% C. 200% D. 150%
2. What is the reason for the failure in the country’s healthcare reform?
A. Bad management system.
B. The government didn’t input enough money to support hospitals that are mostly
state-owned.
C. The health conditions in the country is too bad.
D. There are too many farmers that need medical care.
3. What is needed to narrow the development gap between rural and urban areas?
①. Large amount of government investment in economy.
②. Large amount of government investment on improving rural healthcare and education.
③. Economic policies to push the rural economy
④. A high percentage of farmers’ involvement in the medical system
⑤. A better management system
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②③④⑤ D. ②③
4. Why are many farmers not enthusiastic in joining the co-operative medical system?
A. It doesn’t benefit most of the farmers in an effective way.
B. They cannot spare the needed money to join the programme.
C. They don’t believe in the system.
D. They don’t think it necessary.
5. What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph?
A. An increase of 10 Yuan in medical subsidies for each person is not enough.
B. The government can afford to increase the medical subsidies for farmers.
C. The government will get farmers of the whole country involved in a medical system by 2008.
D. If the government increase subsidies, more farmers are likely to join the medical system.
