Women 　　　 half of the whole staff in this school.Therefore,they play an important part in the school’s development.?

A.put up　　 B.take up　　 C.make up 　 D.give up

　 Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013，and the US is just 16th. A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer（暗淡）future than those born in Hong Kong，Ireland and even Canada. The EIU，a sister company of The Economist，tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come.

　 People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway，Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a‘quality-of-lif e’index(指数）where it is best to be born next year.

　 One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play including crime，trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口学) social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030，which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries，with

Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.

　 Half of the top 10 countries are European，but only one，the Netherlands，is from the eurozone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe，including Greece，Portugal and Spain，falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly，the largest European economies-Germany，France and Britain-do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羡慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.

56．According to the passage，the happiest people live in　　　 ·

　 A. Denmark B. Switzerland C. Germany D. Nigeria

57．The factors of telling the best place to be born don’t include　　　．

　 A. economy B. geography

　 A. The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company.

　 B. The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live.

　 C. The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list.

　 D. Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.

　　Children are missing an important part of their education because parents cannot afford their after-school activities．Half of parents in Wales are saying“no”to after-school activities because they cannot afford them according to a poll for Save the Children．

　　The government said providing free or subsidized(补助的)leisure activities for children from poorer background is essential to reducing child poverty in the UK．Of those who pay for activities, Save the Children said almost half of parents had to pay more than ￡10 per child per week．Many parents were paying more than ＄20 per week, the survey found．

　　“What happens after the school gates close at 3∶30 pm is just as momentous as what goes on in the school day, ”said Sally Copley at Save the Children．“Children who do after-school activities have more confidence, see the world in different ways and have a stronger sense of identity(认同感)．All this finally translates into doing better in exams and getting a better career．”

　　Half of parents in Wales of 4-to-18-year-olds said their child did some form of sporting activity, the most popular pastime(消遣)．Other popular choices included drama/dance(26％), Brownies/Scouts(童子军)(18％)and music lessons(13％)．Almost a third of parents said activities they would like their child to take part in were located more than six miles from where they lived．

　　Save the Children said its research highlighted that children from poorer backgrounds did not have the same chances as their better-off friends．Many local governments have offered a wide range of after-young people in their area．The Welsh Assembly Government's community-focused schools programme supports local education authorities to develop a range of out-of-school-hours learning opportunities and childcare for children and young people．

(1)

The government should ________ to reduce child poverty according to the passage．
[　　]
A．	provide free or subsidezed leisure activities for poorer children．
B．	provide low-cost leisure activities for all the children．
C．	help most families to pay for leisure activities．
D．	demand the rich to support the poor children．

[　　]
A．	active
B．	violent
C．	doubtful
D．	important

(3)

According to Sally Copley, we can learn the after-school activities ________．
[　　]
A．	may help children make money for their families．
B．	can help children learn better and find better jobs．
C．	get children adapt to the society and start their own business．
D．	make children lack confidence and a sense of identity．

(4)

What would children best like to choose as their after-school activity according to the fourth paragrph?

The people’s scientist grows more rice

　　It is said that every scientist has a childhood dream of his or her future success．For Yuan Longping, the dream was that he would grow grains of rice as large as peanuts(花生), and that farmers could relax in the large shadow of their plants．

　　His dream came true．Yuan is known as China’s “father of hybrid rice(杂交水稻)．”

　　He is known for creating a type of rice that has a high yield(产量)．

　　The 72-year-old scientist was born in Beijing．He came up with the idea of hybridizing rice in the 1960s, when China was suffering serious famine(饥荒)．Ten years later, he grew a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice．

　　Compared with the ordinary rice, the hybrid is highly adaptable(适应性强的)．It is a stronger plant that can better bear drought(干旱)or water-logging(水涝), as well as diseases and worms．

　　Half of China’s rice crops are Yuan’s special rice．And the country’s total rice production has greatly increased．

　　Today, Yuan continues to try and increase the yield of rice．If you ask him whether rice quality or quantity should come first, his answer is always the latter(后者)．

　　“First we must have enough food; then we must eat well,” he said．But, he adds that high yield does not necessarily mean low quality．

　　Now, Yuan is working on another “Super Rice, ” of which yields are 30 percent higher than common rice．

　　Money and fame follow such great achievements．A seed company in Shenzhen uses Yuan’s name and in return, he gets a share of 2 million yuan．

　　But, he said, “That figure means nothing．I’m satisfied with my life．Too much money is a burden(负担)．”

　　And having devoted most of his life to growing rice in paddy fields(稻田), Yuan looks just like a farmer．From sowing to harvesting, Yuan goes out to the fields twice a day, covering a distance of about 8 km on his motorbike, which has become one of his main hobbies．

(1)

What was Yuan Longping’s desire from his childhood?
[　　]
A．	Growing peanut-size rice．
B．	Growing hybrid rice．
C．	Improving rice quality．
D．	Creating super rice．

(2)

From this passage, we know that Yuan Longping ________．
[　　]
A．	likes to be a farmer
B．	doesn’t care for fame and money
C．	has solved the starvation problems
D．	devoted all his time to growing rice
