     Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions
include a very important word-“heart”. We will try to “get to the heart of the matter” to better
understand the most important thing about words and their stories. So “take heart.” Have no fear about
learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a “heavy
heart.” Such feelings of sadness would only “break my heart,” or make me feel unhappy and hopeless.
     Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having
a “heart to heart” discussion. I might speak from “the bottom of my heart, ” or say things honestly and
truthfully. I might even “open up my heart” to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with “all my
heart”.
     When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she “wears her heart
on her sleeve”. Her emotions are not protected.
     If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s “heart is in the
right place.” For example, I would know that you are a “kind-hearted” and well-meaning person.
And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have “a heart of gold.” However,
you might have a “change of heart” based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to
change the way you feel about something.
     But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or
understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a “heart of stone.”
And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my “heart might stand still”.

1． If you are not so happy, you may feel that ________.

A. you “have a heart of stone”  
B. you have to “take heart”
C. you “break your heart”      
D. you “speak from the bottom of the heart”

2． From the above passage we may see ________.

A. English words can all be used differently
B. some phrases do not have a fixed meaning
C. languages change with the time
D. the same word may have various meanings

3． What is the passage trying to impress the readers?

A. To explain how “heart” is used in phrases.
B. To show the author’s perfect English.
C. To tell English learners to learn English in phrases.
D. To advertise an English course.

     Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some
call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking,it means the longer kids are out of 'school,the more
they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.
     Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and
about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for
about eight weeks at a time,with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round
Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
     But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same
as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said,"Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year.
     Across the country,research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
     But calling them "summer school" could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at
Johns Hopkins,Ron Fairchild,said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore
found that almost all strongly disliked the term "summer school". In American culture,the idea of summer
vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other

     Each cell in the human body contains about 25,000 to 35,000 genes, which carry information that determines
your traits. Traits are characteristics you inherit from your parents; this means your parents pass some of their
characteristics on to you through genes. For example, if both of your parents have green eyes, you might inherit
the trait of green eyes from them. Or if your mom has freckles, you might inherit that trait and wind up with a
freckled face. And genes aren't just in humans - all animals and plants have genes, too.
     Genes hang out all lined up on thread-like things called chromosomes. Chromosomes come in pairs, and there
are hundreds, sometimes thousands of genes in one chromosome. The chromosomes and genes are made of
DNA, which is short for deoxyribonucleic acid.
     Chromosomes are found inside cells, the very small units that make up all living things. A cell is so tiny that
you can only see it through the lens of a strong microscope, and there are billions of cells in your body. Most
cells have one nucleus. The nucleus, which is sort of egg-shaped, is like the brain of the cell. It tells every part
of the cell what to do. How does the nucleus know so much? It contains our chromosomes and genes. Tiny as
it is, the nucleus has more information in it than the biggest dictionary you've ever seen.
1. What is the best title of this passage?
A. What Is a Gene?
B. How Do Genes Work?
C. What Does A Gene Consist of?
D. How Do Nucleus Command Cells?
2. What does the underlined word "inherit" probably mean in the first paragraph?
A. carry
B. send
C. obtain
D. pass
3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The parents pass some characteristics on to their children.
B. All living things receive traits from the old generations.
C. One's green eyes might be passed on from the parents.
D. A mother's freckled face might affect her young's face.
4. From the passage we can know that _____.
A. genes can decide all your characteristics from parents
B. genes exist inside cells that make up all living things
C. genes tells every part of the cell what to do
D. Chromosomes come in pairs containing genes.
5. From the passage we can conclude that _____.
A. not all cells have one nucleus inside
B. not all living things are made up of cells
C. genes aren't in humans but in animals and plants
D. DNA is made of chromosomes and genes

     Each year about a quarter of a million Americans study abroad. For many of them, a summer or
a semester in a foreign country now involves more than just sitting in classrooms and hanging out with
other American students. Instead, they are encouraged and sometimes required to be involved in the
local communities they are studying in.
     "It's absolutely important that they know something about how people in other parts of the world
live and think, and how they behave," says William Finlay, head of the sociology department at the
University of Georgia. In 2008, he co-founded a study abroad program with South Africa's Stellenbosch University. It combines traditional academic in-class learning with community involvement.
     "We've been working with a non-government organization in the township. Our students typically
either work with little children in day care centers or work in the library and teach very basic computer
skills to young children," says Finlay.
     The three-week program proved to be an unforgettable experience for Hillary Kinsey. She says, "
It was interesting to learn the history of the area and then talk to these people and see what the social
dynamics were, and how certain groups felt about other groups."
     When Hillary Kinsey returned home from South Africa, she and other students in the program
established a non-profit group. Kinsey says the group wants to contribute to advancing education and
development in South Africa. "One of the purposes of the group is that we hope to raise money and
awareness about the situation where those people live and help to promote any sort of educational
development that we can, " Kinsey added.
     While many study abroad programs focus on helping Americans to learn foreign languages, others
take a more intensive approach. "In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates," says
Mark Lenhart, director of CEF Academic Programs, which sends more than a thousand students to
China, Korea and other countries each year.
     He says American students benefit from such one-on-one interactions, in spite of the challenges they
face. Lenhart says, "They have to adjust to the local life. This will enable students to become more
employable when they graduate."
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How non-profit groups work in South Africa.
B. How to take part in study abroad programs.
C. Americans studying abroad pay more attention to working with local children.
D. Americans combine community involvement with study while studying abroad.
2. The purposes of Hillary Kinsey's non-profit group include all of the following EXCEPT          .
A. learning more about South Africa
B. raising money for local people  
C. helping to develop education in South Africa  
D. raising people's awareness of the local situation
3. Which of the following CANNOT be used to describe Hillary Kinsey's feelings about studying
abroad?
A. Interested.    
B. Surprised.    
C. Impressed.  
D. Unforgettable.
4. The advantages of studying abroad mentioned in this passage include           .
① making more friends

     Each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel. It's a great way to find out what life is
like in another part of the world! You're probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in
your host country everything from attitudes and beliefs to social customs and popular foods. But constantly
having to deal with new situations can be frustrating (挫折), even stressful.
     Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of "culture shock". At first, you may feel like
getting on the plane and heading home. It's OK to have those feelings,but the following are some tips to help
you handle the challenges that you will face.
     Don't expect to be perfect. You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you
probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how
well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel over-whelmed sometimes. If you give yourself some
time, things will gradually get easier.
     Have an open mind. While it's certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings,
try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. Don't think of the host as better or worse, just
different-you'll be more willing to try new things.
     Participate. This is obvious, but everybody needs to be reminded. Just watching life go on around you
isn't good enough. You really need to try things for yourself. Don't worry about making a mistake; people
in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you have question. Your
study abroad experience is fl unique and special time in your life,one that you'll never forget. If you follow
our suggestions, you'll be able to handle it well, and have a wonderful time. Good luck!

      Each Tuesday afternoon, after the bell rings for the fourth period, Liu becomes a fashion designer. At the
same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are
also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones. Some students dance, others create robots, and
still others review films. These are just a few of the other 27 elective (选修的) courses besides Liu's sewing
class that the school began to offer last month.
      "The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week. I learn how to choose colors and
fabrics (织物) as well as sewing and sketching (素描) skills. It's all helping me to realize the dream of
becoming a fashion designer I've had since I was a little girl," Liu said.
      Design is Liu's favorite, but for other students the electives are interesting lessons which relieve (舒缓)
the pressures of schoolwork. Some students, for example, are learning how to play bridge. Chen Xi, 15, is
one of them. She said, "Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time. But
