Thousands of teenagers will be able to move to a new wave of “studio schools” at the age of 14 to improve their chances of finding a job in UK. Twelve new-style schools are open to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs.
Under plans, schools will operate longer days and work outside standard school terms.
Each teenager will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with business related to the school and a personal coach will be sent to the teenagers to act as a school “l(fā)ine manager”.
The reforms (改革) are put forward because of the fears that too many teenagers are finishing full-time education at present but they are short of the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. According to a recent report, more than two thirds of employers (雇主) believe school and college leavers have less important employability skills, while 55% say they are unable to manage their time or daily routine. And the number of NEETs who are not in education has hit a record high, with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or a training place.
The Department for Education will tell the public the building of 12 studio schools – providing for around 3,600 teenagers – in areas such as Liverpool, Stevenage, Stock-on-Trent and Fulham, west London. Each one will be connected to the local employers. Under plans, teenagers will be able to move out of ordinary schools to attend them between the ages of 14 and 19.
The government said all subjects would be taught “through projects, often prepared with employers” – with rules such as science being connected directly to local engineering companies or hospitals. Schools will operate a longer day to give teenagers a better understanding of the needs of the workplace. Along with their studies, students will carry out work placements for four hours a week, rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19. They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications (專業(yè)資歷) connected directly to the needs of local employers.
小題1:According to the passage, NEETs refer to those who ______.
A．often miss classes from studio school
B．prefer studio schools to ordinary schools
C．refuse to take any part-time job after school
D．a(chǎn)re not in education, employment or training
小題2:Compared to ordinary schools, studio schools will offer the young more ______.
A．skills to finish full-time education
B．personal coaches to help with the work
C．chances to get future jobs with job training
D．jobs to make money without going outside
小題3:What makes the government decide to build studio schools?
A．The worry about educated teenagers short of working skills.
B．The doubt about whether full-time education is perfect.
C．The decision to solve the problems of unemployment.
D．The increasing number of teens who drop out early.
小題4:What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Studio schools are popular in UK at present.
B．More NEETs will find jobs from Studio schools.
C．Teenagers will get jobs without full-time education.
D．Studio schools are built to improve teens’ employability skills.

It is easier to go down a hill than to climb up a hill, so it is to fall into bad habit than into good ones.
Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little while people do not notice their danger. Some schoolboys first pick up bad habits in school and on the streets. When they cannot finish their lessons, they copy from their classmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. When they are older, the habits become so strong that they can never get rid of them. From copying, they fall behind, then learn to steal, and smoking is bad for their health. At last they become worse and worse.

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which do you think is the best?
I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care.
Robin, aged 16, Birmingham
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying,  "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime." We need to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.
Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster（災難）like the earthquake. It's good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary（工資）to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference.
Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon
Giving money to charity can help, but it's not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government.
Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle
The best thing we can do is to send experts（專家）like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.
Robert, aged 16, Cardiff
小題1:Which two children share the similar opinion?
A．Mary and RebeccaB．Bethany and Mary
C．Rebecca and BethanyD．Rebecca and Robert

The United States is suffering its worst drought (干旱) in almost sixty years. The National Climatic Data Center also says high temperatures in June added to the warmest twelve-month period on record. Record-keeping began in 1895. The drought map showed that conditions improved in the Southeast in June compared to May. But the drought is expected to continue in large parts of the country. Last week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack met with President Obama. Mr Vilsack says the drought has seriously influenced some crops, such as corn and soybeans (大豆). And the United States is the world's leading producer. 
The drought has made prices of com and soybeans increase. Both of them are used in food production and for animal feed. Last week the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported that corn and wheat prices increased by 20% over the past three weeks.
In the United States, farmers may quickly reduce the size of their animals rather than pay higher feed prices to keep them. That increased supply of meat would reduce meat prices in the short term. But those prices could increase in several months.
Mr Vilsack says the effect of the drought is hard to predict(預測). Some areas are getting rain, and drought-resistant (抗旱的) seeds have helped crops grow well in some areas.
小題1:We can know the drought record of the USA has been kept for ________years of the USA up to now.
A．97B．207
C．221D．117
小題2:Which of the following American presidents met with Tom Vilsack?
A．George Washington.B．Abraham lincon.
C．George Bush.D．Barack Obama.
小題3: If the price of a kilo of corn was 3 dollars last December, how much is a kilo of corn now?
A．2.4 dollars.B．3 dollars.
C．3.6 dollars.D．3.9 dollars.
小題4:Why is the meat price lower than before?
A．Because there are more and more animals.
B．Because farmers kill them to save their food.
C．Because people don't like eating meat now.
D．Because the government (政府) asks the meat price lower.
小題5:What is the best title for the passage?
A. US faces the worst drought in almost sixty years.
B. Take action to help the USA.
C. What does the country do in the drought areas?
D. President Obama meets with Agriculture Secretary.
