        Asia is home to more than half of the world's population and three of the four most crowded countries are in
    Asia. China, India, and Indonesia alone have more than 2.5 billion people.
        Until recently, most Asian nations fell behind the western countries in many fields. Government reform(改革),
    however, has led to important progress in each of these Asian countries. Across the area, education systems
    have been improved and economies (经济) have been growing. Most Asian countries now have a system of
    compulsory (义务的) education. Many countries have recently allowed private universities to be built, which
    was not allowed before. There are more chances for students to go to university now.
        However, in Asia, there are still not enough chances for students to get higher education and many people
    prefer to go abroad for further study. As a result, India, China, South Korea, Japan and other Asian countries
    send thousands of students to study in the United States and Europe each year.
        Part of the people in Asian countries can speak English, and English has become the most important language
    for business across the area. The percentage (百分比) is the largest in Japan, Singapore, the Philippines,
    SriLanka and South Korea. Many people in China, India and Malaysia can also speak English. Some countries
    have made English part of the primary and secondary education programme. In some countries, children begin
    to study English even at the age of 4 or 5.

    4. Why do so many students in Asia go to study in the USA and Europe?
    [     ]
    A. Because they are rich.
    B. Because there are not enough chances for students to get higher education in Asia.
    C. Because they don't want to work hard.
    D. Because they can speak English very well.
    5. Which of the following is NOT true?
    [     ]
    A. There're more than 2.5 billion people in China, India and Indonesia.
    B. The economies in Asian countries are becoming worse.

        If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars".  But they're not really stars. They're man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the
    International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth.
    And people can see it with their eyes.
        The ISS is the biggest satellite (人造卫星) and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to
    learn more about space is to live there.
        When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of
    the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most
    expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.   
        Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration (探测). "The ISS will help us
    understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth
    better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.   
        Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries.
    China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to
    the ISS to find out what space would do to it.   
    1. The International Space Station             .
    [     ]
    A. is really a big city in space
    B. is the biggest man-made satellite
    C. can only help us explore space
    D. is mainly built by the USA and Russia
    2. From the passage we know that             .

    A. building the ISS is only for scientists to live there
    B. scientists can do anything they like there
    C. people can see the Space Station at any time
    D. sixteen countries are members of the space program
    3. The phrase "a stepping stone" probably means             .
    [     ]
    A. 滑梯
    B. 巅峰
    C. 垫脚石
    D. 走廊
    4. China sent some rice up to the ISS is probably to ______.
    [     ]
    A. be used as astronauts' food
    B. sell it to aliens
    C. do some science experiments
    D. make it grow better in space
    5. Which of the following isn't mentioned in this passage?
    [     ]
    A. China will join the ISS in the future.
    B. The scientists are building living rooms for them in the ISS.
    C. The ISS will be more useful in the future.
    D. The ISS costs the members of 16 countries plenty of money every year.

        Some parents are worrying that their children wouldn't like meals. In fact, most children are usually ready to
    eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked. Never ask a child
    whether he likes or dislikes a food, never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do
    so. If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother refuses some vegetables in the child's hearing, he may
    copy this action. Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will . At meal times, it
    is a good idea to give a child a small part at one time rather than give him as much as he may eat all together. Do
    not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food. And do not allow him to leave
    the table at once after a meal, or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in
    his room . Never coax (哄骗) or make a child to eat, or he will think he eats for you. Don't you think it is the
    same with study?
    1. A child will probably eat              if it is not badly cooked.
    [     ]
    A. only a little of the food
    B. all of the food
    C. some of the food
    D. almost all of the food
    2.              can make a child like eating more.
    [     ]
    A. Offering as much as possible
    B. The way parents eat
    C. The way a meal is well cooked and served
    D. Playing with toys
    3. Which of the following is a good action before a child during meal times?
    [     ]
    A. To discuss the food a parent dislikes.
    B. Never discuss likes or dislikes of food.
    C. To ask a child what food he likes or dislikes.
    D. To talk a lot to the child.
    4. If a child is allowed to leave the table at once after a meal, he will             .
    [     ]
    A. eat more
    B. stop eating
    C. dislike the meal
    D. learn to eat hurriedly
    5. From the passage, parents should learn that it's better _____.
    [     ]
    A. to coax the child to do his homework
    B. to make the child study
    C. not to make the child work on his lessons
    D. not to help the child with his study

        Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's too much to read these days, and too little time to read
    every word of it. (3) There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I
    think are especially good.
        Preview-if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like
    long magazine articles and business reports. Here's how to preview.
        ●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
        ●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
        Previewing doesn't give you all the details. (4) It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really
    want-or need-to read.
        Skim-if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading --like popular
    magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper. Here's how to skim.
        ●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
        ●Pick up only a few key words in each line.
        Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but
    we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.
