     Jason Crole studies in an American high school. As a native of London, the 16-year-old didn't know much
about America's colonial (殖民地的) past before this summer.
     But now Crole can talk a lot about the settlers (移民者), slavery (奴隸制) and the events that led up to the
American Revolution (美國(guó)獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)). He learned about these subjects at a summer program at the College of
William and Mary, Virginia.
     It is a 70-year-old program that gathers high school students from across the US to study early American
history.
     "It's been great and a lot of hard work," said Crole. "This is not a subject really  taught in England, so I'm
learning a lot of new things."
     The program meet from 8 am to 3 pm five days a week. It goes for three weeks. Students go to lectures
and read essays about the time period they are studying. They study history from the founding of Jamestown
through the American Revolution and the Civil War (美國(guó)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)).
     As well as leaming about history in the classroom, students also take field trips to historical sites. They visit
Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and other sites around Virginia. They learn what life was like during that
time.
     "We hope the students can really leam something about our early history," said Carolyn Sparks Whittenburg,
director of the program. " We offer the program to kids who love history. A total of 111 students were in the
program this summer, but we hope for more next year."
1. The summer program helps high school students to study _______.
A. the settlers
B. the Civil War
C. the American Revolution
D. American history
2. The summer program lasts for _______.
A. seven hours
B. five days
C. three weeks
D. one month
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. There were hundreds of students in the program this summer.
B. Some students are not quite clear about America's colonial past.
C. Students can take part in the summer program in their high schools.
D. The subject is taught outside the classroom rather than inside.

     Who would you choose for a leader, a man or a woman? Many would say a man. (1) In their eyes, men
make better decisions and have stronger minds than women. This is not true with Chinese vice premier
Madame Wu Yi.
     The spring of 2003 was a difficult time for China. SARS was hitting the country hard. The government
was facing questions from both inside and outside China. Who could help the country through? The task went
to the 65-year-old Wu Yi.
     Wu was as tough as any man in a crisis (危機(jī)). Within a month she had set up a national medical network (醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)) to deal with the disease. (2) In just seven days Xiaotangshan Hospital was built for SARS patients.
     Under Wu's leadership (領(lǐng)導(dǎo)), the disease was quickly under control. But Wu faced many difficult problems. (3) She was very worried. She had to take pills just to be able to sleep at night. "I had no choice but to get the
job done," said Wu.

     The computer makes doing schoolwork easier tor me than it was tor my mom and dad. For example,
when writing book reports and stories,I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after
my teacher edits my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing.
And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.
     For English class, we're reading The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton. As a pre-reading assignment (作業(yè)), my
teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Intemet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and
finally found an article on Time. com.
     For a geography assignment on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I
needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different,what states it runs through,
and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its
economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)). For example,the river's trade paths,the number of fish caught in it,and the tourists it attracts
directly influence Southemers' jobs and incomes (收入).
     I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my
parents work,getting to the library isn't always easy. For a big assignment or research project, I used to stay
at the library to read,or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Now being able to find the information
in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全書(shū)) also
save time.
      Sometimes, I think the computer spoils young people because it's so easy-at least physically. But
computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer
using a computer. Easy, fun, and fast.
1. Does the computer make doing schoolwork harder for the writer?
    ______________________________________________________
2. What does the writer use when he wr tes book reports and stories? 
    ______________________________________________________
3. How does the wr ter complete a big assignment or research project? 
     ______________________________________________________

5. What's the ran idea of this passage?

     Online shopping has become something very common for young people, however, it's not easy for the
old people to buy things on the internet. Therefore, offline Daigou stores, or buy-for-you stores, are becoming
popular among the old.
     64-year-old man Li Hui'an is searching for his favorite CD in an offline Daigou shop. He says, "It's very
convenient to buy things online, however, I can't use the internet. After I happened to find this buy-for-you
shop, I decided to try, as I wanted to buy an opera CD. Finally I got one I'd searched for for several years.
I was so happy. I have become crazy about offline shopping."
     The store owner Liu Min says in order to meet the need of people who want to buy things online but can't

such stores opened their doors only in April.

they charge a suitable service fee. For example, when buying things that cost less than 200 yuan for customers,
they usually charge 5 yuan as service fee.
     Though the offline buy-for-you service makes it easier for certain people to shop online, what if there is
any problem with the ordered thing, let's say, like a quality problem? The shop owners say they will deal with
any quality problems that may happen when using their Daigou service.

     If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It save your life. This is the surprising advice

     The widespread number of food scandals (丑聞) in China is making many people pause before they put
their chopsticks in their mouth. They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious
or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease?
     Most of the food we eat today is processed food ( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy in stores and
supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are added to the foods in these
factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be
harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some
producers do not obey the laws.
     A producer of steamed buns (饅頭) in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law.
He was adding yellow dye and other banned chemicals to the buns. He was also taking old buns and using
them to make new buns. Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students... like you.
     Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people's health? The answer is simple: he
wanted to make more money. It was a moral failing, and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China.
