         When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and
    see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement.
          If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost
    everywhere.?
         In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does
    the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private
    businesses.?
          Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different
    answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of "keeping your name
    before the public." And some people thought that advertising was "truth well told." Now more and more
    people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive description of
    goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors (明确的出资者) through various media.
          First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and
    hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face to face communication.
         Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is
    directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it tells
    people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service
    advertised can do good to them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the
    advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an organization, or an individual. Fifth,
    advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditional
    media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail,
    matchbox covers, and billboards.?

    1. The existence of the privately-owned mass media depends financially on _______.

    A. the government   
    B. advertisements?
    C. their owners' families
    D. the audience

    2. According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements?

    A. Companies.
    B. Organizations.  
    C. Individuals.
    D. All of the above.?

    3. Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media?

    A. Newspapers    
    B. Magazines
    C. The mail  
    D. Films?

    4. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the features of advertisements
        is NOT true??

    A. The sponsors are always mentioned in the advertisements.
    B. Advertising is meant for large groups of people.?
    C. Advertising tells people to do something directly or indirectly.?
    D. Advertising must be honest and amusing.?

          Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy
    science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only
    have to share your children's curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of
    seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about
    schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in
    silence. Finally I said, "Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about
    science?"?
         After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"?
         This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. ?
          Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a
    question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When
    adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and
    creative answers.
          Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in
    with "That's right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.
         But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, "That's interesting" or "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more 
    questions or ideas.?
          Never push a child to "Think". It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without your
    telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find
    the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your
    disagreement.?
         Lastly, show; don't tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson
    children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a
    magnifying glass(放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

    1. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most
        important  thing for adults to do is _______.

    A. to share the children's curiosity
    B. to let them see the world around?
    C. to explain difficult phrases about science
    D. to supply the children with lab equipment?

    2. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word "lists" could best be replaced by _______.

    A. any questions       
    B. questions from textbooks?
    C. any problems  
    D. any number of questions?

    3. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative
       way if adults _______.

    A. wait at least for three seconds after a question.  
    B. wait for one or two seconds after a question.?
    C. tell them to answer the next day.
    D. ask them to answer quickly.

    4. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity
        except that adults should _______.

    A. encourage their children to ask questions of their own?
    B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves?
    C. be patient enough when their children answer questions?
    D. tell their children stories instead of reciting facts?

          An argument is appearing in Los Angeles over whether a newspaper should publish teachers' names
    along with an analysis of how well they do in raising their students' standardized test scores.
    Some people argue that transparency(透明) should exist at all costs, but others hold that it's unfair to
    label individual teachers using possibly flawed(有瑕疵的) statistics. Some worry that anger over the
    forthcoming Los Angeles Times article will make people oppose so-called "value added" analysis of
    teacher performance, which is the method the Times uses.
          "This incident with the L.A. Times is where the advocates(提倡者) for value-added are getting a bit
    ahead of themselves," says Douglas Harris, an education professor. "Teachers are already feeling
    under the gun on this kind of thing
    ."
         "
    Value-added data" is the latest trend in teacher responsibility: the idea that a student's gain from the
    previous year's test ? as opposed to his or her overall performance ? can be measured and tied to the
    latest teacher.
         "There are too many variables(变量) in the testing process," says A.J. Duffy. But he says he opposes
    using value-added data in evaluations at all, although he acknowledges it could be a useful tool to give
    teachers feedback. "I believe in a system that emphasizes the whole student, not just standardized tests,"
    he says.
         Proponents(支持者) of value-added say that's a valid criticism, agreeing that no one should expect
    that student gains on a standardized test could capture the creativity or broader enrichment that goes on
    in many teachers' classrooms. The District of Columbia which attracted argument for its decision to fire
    teachers based in part on value-added data, uses that data for 50 percent of the evaluation, relying on
    other measures such as classroom observation for the rest. "No one is suggesting using it as a single
    measure of performance," says Paige Kowalski.
         Barnett Berry, a professor, is even more critical of it. Value-added data can be useful, he and others
    say, but it's important to acknowledge its limitations. It doesn't take into account, for instance, constant
    student absence and learning gains due to summer school, after-school programs, or supplemental
    teachers, such as reading specialists.

    1. The tone of the underlined sentence is that of _______.

    A. praise      
    B. warning    
    C. anger  
    D. threat

    2. In the opinion of Mr. Duffy, teachers should be judged by _______.

    A. the value-added data of the times
    B. students' scores of standardized tests
    C. the whole development of a student
    D. the feedback of students and parents

    3. The underlined word "it" in Para. 6 refers to _______.

    A. the creativity or broader enrichment
    B. a standardized test
    C. classroom observation
    D. value-added data

    4. What's the passage mainly about?

    A. How well teachers can do in raising students' scores
    B. Whether teachers should be linked to student's scores
    C. Who opposes value-added analysis of teacher performance.
    D. Why the Los Angeles Times plans to publish names of teachers.

         One of Vancouver's nicknames is Hollywood North. This name comes from the fact that Vancouver
    is the third most filmed city in North America behind Los Angeles and New York City.
         Vancouver became known as a filming destination because it is a perfect stand-in(替身) for other
    cities. Shot from the right angles, the downtown core could look like New York, Seattle, Boston or a
    variety of other places. Also, the architectural smorgasbord(大杂烩) that is Vancouver, the low
    Canadian dollar, and generous tax subsidies(税收补贴) attracted film production companies to the city.
         Many would accuse Vancouver of simply being a stand-in city, and not really being of any
    significance to the overall culture of film production. However, this has proven not to be the case. The
    creative establishment in the film sector has realized that Vancouver is more than just a stand-in; it is a
    city that is filled with talent.
         Earlier this year Pixar Studios opened an animation studio in Vancouver. The animators made famous
    by such hits as Toy Story, Monsters Inc, and Wall-E, demonstrated that Vancouver is now a major player in the film industry by opening up shops in the city.
         Amir Nasrabadi, the General Manager for Pixar Canada said the company decided to open an office in the city because of the "very mature(成熟的), high-quality talent pool, driven primary by the strength of
    the industry and great local universities and schools"
         For now the studio will work as a satellite branch of Pixar's California studios, but future plans
    include the Vancouver studio taking on its own feature films. The British Columbia Film Commissioner, 
    Susan Croome, told CTV News in an interview that "Pixar's announcement is absolutely fantastic". When
    asked if this expansion of Vancouver's film industry was the result of favorable exchange rates, she
    responded that it wasn't, and the company was making plans for the long term.

    1. Vancouver has the nickname of Hollywood North because _______.

    A. the number of films it makes is second to Hollywood
    B. it is one of the most filmed cities in North America
    C. it looks much like Hollywood
    D. it lies in north of Hollywood

    2. What is a factor that makes Vancouver an attractive city for film production?

    A. Lower expenses          
    B. Historical places
    C. Pixar Studios opening an animation studio
    D. Right angles suitable for shooting films

    4. In Susan Croome's opinion, _______

    A. Pixar's announcement is hard to understand
    B. good exchange rates can attract famous companies
    C. Pixar Studios should open more offices in Vancouver
    D. Pixar's decision is based on long term considerations

    5. It is suggested in the passage that Vancouver _______.

    A. is more than a stand-in city for making films
    B. is best known for its animation films
    C. has become a major film producer
    D. is a poor but talented city

         Recently, my classmates have had a heated discussion about if we should have optional courses
    (选修课) in high schools. Some students were  in favor of optional courses. They say interest is best
    teacher and  our spare time will be colorful and meaningful. Students can not only  enlarge their
    knowledges but also improve their abilities.  However, others are against the idea, said that optional
    courses will take up too much time as well as energy. Besides, some optional courses have something
    to do with the College Entrance Examination. They are afraid they'll fall behind their classmates if they
    will take optional courses. I'd like to take one or two  of the optional courses, which, I think, will certain
