In Asia，there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure(結(jié)構(gòu))，they are widely different in size and shape.Kite­fighting competitions are also held，in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(對手) kites or cut their strings(線)．
For more than 15 years，the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite­making and kite­flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite­making lessons，students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes！Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龍)．Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.
The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two­string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.
Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work，and can give hours of fun.Go on，give it a try！

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar（衣領(lǐng)） workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土話)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(車道), and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan(about US $700).
The life of a green collar may go something like this: Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged.
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
B．The increasing awareness(意識) of environmental protection.
C．New trends of life in China’s big cities.
D．The lifestyle of green collars.
小題2:Green collars are living green because _________.
A．they have a large income to use
B．they refuse to live an unhealthy life
C．they spend a lot of money and time in the open air
D．they devote themselves to environmental protection
小題3:What’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
A．Appreciative.B．Doubtful.C．Negative(否定的).D．Neutral(中立的).
小題4:The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are_________.
A．in heavy polluted areas B．in faraway places
C．in a poor state of education D．in unfavourable(不利的) conditions

A few common misconceptions. Beauty is only skin-deep. One' s physical assets and liabilities don' t count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best.
Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not- so-beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, the physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted.
Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties (虔誠) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group--college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a piece of paper relating an individual' s accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive person, some an average-looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted.
Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good.
In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. on another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire (追求) to managerial positions do not get on as well as who may be less attractive.
小題1: In "Beauty is only skin-deep", "skin-deep" can be replaced by______.
A．decoratingB．superficialC．expressiveD．demanding
小題2: "One's physical assets and liabilities don' t count all that much in a managerial career."(paral) can be interpretated as______.
A．whether or not one looks good or bad, it doesn' t affect much one' s managerial career
B．in one' s managerial career, he may deal with cases like assets and liabilities
C．in one' s managerial career, he may rarely deal with cases like assets and liabilities
D．whether or not one looks good or bad, it may affect much one' s managerial career
小題3:  The result of research carried out by social scientists show that______.
A．people do not realize the importance of looking one' s best
B．women in pursuit of managerial jobs are not likely to be paid well
C．good -looking women aspire to managerial positions
D．a(chǎn)ttractive people generally have an advantage over those who are not
小題4: "Good looks cut both ways for women" (Para.5) means that______.
A．a(chǎn)ttractive women have tremendous potential impact on public job
B．good-looking women always get the best of everything
C．being attractive is not always an advantage for women
D．a(chǎn)ttractive women do not do as well as unattractive women in managerial positions
小題5:  It can be inferred from the passage that in the business world______.
A．handsome men are not affected as much by their looks as attractive women are
B．physically attractive women who are in the public eye usually do quite well
C．physically attractive men and women who are in the public eye usually get along quite well
D．good looks are important for women as they are for men
