A dog, it is said, is a man’s best friend. Put a dog, a kid and a book together, and you have a struggling reader’s best friend.

The therapy dogs of R.E.A.D. – Reading Education Assistance Dogs – have been helping children improve their reading skills since 1999, when Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) began the program in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Today, tens of thousands of R.E.A.D. teams – dogs and their owners – volunteer to spend time with youngsters in schools and libraries across the United States and around the world. The idea is that sharing a book with a nonjudgmental (不带评论的) partner encourages students’ confidence and helps develop a love of reading.

Izzy, a Havanese therapy dog, is a regular visitor to Public School 57 in East Harlem, New York. Students meet him in the library, pick out a book and sit down on the carpet. Izzy snuggles (依偎) up to them and gets ready to hear a story.

“I love reading to Izzy because he listens to me, and he doesn’t make fun of me when I make a mistake,” says third-grader Aelane Vasquez. The 9-year-old, whose parents are from Mexico, is one of 15 Latin-American students at the school who were selected for the program.

“All the students that we work with in the R.E.A.D. program were behind reading levels at the beginning of the year,” Bridget McElroy, who teaches English as a Second Language, explained. “Now most of them have reached the average level, if not above it.” That’s important, because achieving proficiency (熟练) in reading is vital for kids to succeed. Studies have shown that students who can’t read at grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school by the age of 19.

The R.E.A.D. teams from New York Therapy Animals work with 175 kids at Public School 57 and nine other schools.

McElroy said she sees a marked difference in Aelane and her classmates, and not just in study. “Not only do the kids have time to practice reading, what we are really seeing is that they are excited to read and practice even when Izzy is not here,” she said.

A. The students in the R.E.A.D. program improve a lot only in study.

B. Without proficiency in reading, it’s difficult for kids to succeed.

D. When not accompanied by the dog, kids will stop practicing reading consequently.

When six the very best students from different cities in Guangdong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment （录取） rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.

Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.

It's no doubt to call this HK craze （狂热）, which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.

How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?

First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.

Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual （双语） education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.

Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.

Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.

The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China．After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.

At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees （学费） are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.

1.What is the passage mainly talking about?

A．Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.

B．Higher education in Hong Kong.

C．The competition between HK University and Peking University.

D．The fall of mainland universities.

2.Top students from mainland apply for （申请） HK universities because ______.

A．many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience

B．they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities

C．HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study

D．Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation

3.From the passage we can see HK universities _______.

A．didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland

B．didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular

C．have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there

D．are proud of their teaching staff and facilities

4.What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?

A．Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.

B．The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.

C．Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge HK universities.

D．Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children’s welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.

While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a. more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

1.The passage is probably written by _____.

A. an experienced teacher B. a working parent

C. an inspired student D. a city council member

2.The underlined word “they" in the second paragraph refers to “____”.

A. environments B. holidays C. wages D. benefits

3.It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _____.

A. 2 weeks B. 4.5 weeks C. 5 weeks D. 6 weeks

4.The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _____.

A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

B. get a chance to spend, six weeks a term with teachers in school

C. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

D. have more school days to receive free school meals

5.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

B. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

C. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “ down time"

D. some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday
