Our listener question this week comes from Abdullahi Farah, who wants to know about the life and work of Doctor Benjamin Carson.
Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position. And he was the first African-American to have that position at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Ben Carson is known for his work as a brain surgeon for children. For example, in nineteen eighty-seven, he led a team of seventy doctors and nurses in an operation to separate two babies joined at the head. Earlier attempts by other surgeons on other babies had failed. Doctor Carson successfully performed the operation. Both babies were able to survive independently.
Doctor Carson has written four books. His first book, "Gifted Hands," tells the story of his life. Benjamin Carson was born in nineteen fifty-one in Detroit, Michigan.
As a boy, Ben was not a good student. In fact, he was the worst in his class. When his mother learned of his failing grades she asked her sons to read two library books every week. She limited the amount of time they watched television. And she told them to respect every person.
Ben Carson soon became the top student in his class. He went on to study at Yale University, one of the best universities in the country, and later to medical school at the University of Michigan.
Doctor Carson has received many awards and honors. Last year he received the nation's highest civilian honor. Former President George W. Bush presented Benjamin Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony at the White House.
The passage is probably taken from _____.
A. a radio B. a magazine C. TV D. a paper

After more than a year of bitter political debate, President Obama sat down in the White House East Room on March 23 and signed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law with a pen,and then another pen,and another. Obama used 22 pens to sign the $938 billion health care bill.
The practice of using different pens to sign important legislation(法規(guī))dates at least as far back as Franklin Roosevelt. The reason is fairly simple. The pen used to sign historic legislation itself becomes a historical artifact. The more pens a President uses, the more thank-you gifts he can offer to those who helped create that piece of history. The White House often give pens to supporters of the newly signed legislation. When Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, he reportedly used more than 75 pens and gave one of the first ones to Martin Luther King Jr. And in 1996, President Clinton gave the four pens he used to sign the Line-Item Veto bill to those most likely to appreciate the bill's consequence.
Once they're given away, some pens end up in museums; others are displayed proudly in recipients'(接受者) offices or homes. But they sometimes appear again, like in the 2008 presidential campaign(競選活動), when John Macain promised to use the same pen given to him by President Reagan to cut pork from the federal budget.
Not every President goes for the multipen signature, however. President George W. Bush preferred signing bills with only one pen and then offering several unused "gift" pens as souvenirs.
.We can learn from paragraph 1 that the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act .
A. has been passed easily
B. was put forward one year ago
C. becomes law in the USA
D. is unimportant
How are the pens dealt with after being used by President Obama?
A. Supporters of the newly signed legislation are likely to get some of them.
B. Obama will keep them.
C. They will be just set aside
D. They will be sold to the public at a high price.
What can we learn about John Macain?
A. He was ever President in the USA.
B. He took part in the 2008 presidential campaign.
C. He never used the pen given by Reagan.
D. He was only concerned about his own business.
What does this passage mainly tell us ?
A. Obama signed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
B. It is a practice to use multiple pens to sign important legislation in the USA.
C. Pens are necessary in the signature.
D. All the presidents like the multipen signature.

President Obama,s plan last week to overhaul(改善)former president George W.Bush’s No Child left Behind program is an improvement on a good thin9.But it doesn’t go far enough.
Obama outlined a goal that by 2020,all grade school and high school students ale on a path toward college and career readiness.
However, what we need is a practical plan that not only requires all high school graduates to take at least two years of college but also makes it financially possible for them to do so. We’ve provided a free public education through the l2th grade.If we’re going to keep up—or catch up—with some other countries(1ike China)in preparing young people for careers,a 12-year education program no longer is enough.
About 3 million students across the USA will graduate from high school this spring. But only 2 million will go on to college, according to a survey by the National Center for Education Statistics(NCFES).For the more than l million who won’t go on,money is a major factor.If tuition(學(xué)費)were free,about half of them could make up other COSTS from family or part—time jobs.
Critics(批評家)of free college tuition will say we can’t afford it because of the federal deficit(聯(lián)邦赤字)and other rising costs.Let’s see some government spending in detail:
In the last nearly 10 years.the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost us $1 trillion(that’s $1,000 billion,or an average of$100 billion a year).Federal money spent on public elementary and secondary education in the last year for which figures are available was$47 billion.If we end costly and unnecessary wars and nation—building efforts abroad,the federal government could provide more money on public education,for which state and local governments now carry most of the burden(負擔).
1.According to President Obama’s plan,in 10 years, .
A.there will be no expensive and unnecessary Wars
B.a(chǎn)ll grade and high school students can go to college
C.the U.S.will catch up with China in career preparation
D.students Call enjoy a l2-year public free education
2.If tuition were not charged.
A.a(chǎn)bout 2.5 million students could afford college education
B.a(chǎn)bout 2 million students could be provided chances of college education[來源:Zxxk.Com]
C.over l million students still could not afford college education
D.a(chǎn)bout 3 million students could graduate from high school
3.The author may agree that President Obama’s plan
A.has little to do with Gorge W.Bush’s program
B. does not agree with the survey by NCFES
C.does not contain practical measures to achieve its goal
D.will lighten the burden of state and local governments
4.It can be inferred from the passage that
A.the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are expensive but necessary
B.the federal Can not provide more money on education
C,critics of free college tuition think little of the plan
D.President Obama’s plan might be hard to carry out
