  A bill passed by the U. S. Senate(參議院)shows that limiting student visas(簽證)may affect the admission of international students at colleges across the nation. The bill was passed with an unanimous(一致) vote by the senate and now awaits President George W. Bush's approval before becoming law. The Congressional measure puts restrictions(限制)on visas to students from Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Sudan and North Korea countries. The bill does not restrict regular immigrants from those countries. The bill was put forward when it was discovered that one of the hijackers(劫機(jī)犯)had cane to the U. S. on a student visa. This man, who was not a national of any of the seven countries on the State Department list, never actually arrived on his college campus.

  John Pearson, Director of the International Center: background checks will be carried out for anyone from these countries. My hope is that there won't be a full-out denial of visas, just the background checks. The objective now is to reach a compromise (折中)whereby students from these countries won't be denied entry if they have undergone and passed sufficient background checks. It is unclear what the final process will be for determining visa issuance to students from the seven countries. There won't be a visa denial for students from these countries, the process will just take longer. I don't like this word-tracking system to report data on all foreign students. If the bill becomes law, universities will be asked to report foreign students not showing up for classes to immigration authorities.

  John Hennessy, University President: Since several departments accept a number of students from these countries, some of our programs will be significantly weakened if these students can no longer enter the country, The University will offer its support for students already here from these seven countries. We will, of course, try to continue to work with students here to ensure that they will be able to continue their studies.

1.The bill was passed to ________.

[  ]

A.refuse international students

B.check the background of international students

C.to turn down students from the seven countries

D.restrict students visas

2.The senate passed the bill with an unanimous vote because of ________.

[  ]

A.too many immigrants

B.Sept. 11th attack

C.too many international students

D.political reasons

3.What is the result of the bill?

[  ]

A.It will become law.

B.It is going to come into effect.

C.It will be denied.

D.The passage doesn't give us definite answer.

4.John Pearson thinks ________.

[  ]

A.a(chǎn)ll the students from the seven countries should not be given background checks

B.a(chǎn)ll the students from the seven countries should not be turned away

C.universities should report students not turning up for classes to the government

D.the bill is sure to become law

5.From what John Hennessy said, we can infer ________.

[  ]

A.there are some students from the seven countries in his university

B.they will help those students to continue their studies

C.they will suffer some loss if those students no longer cane

D.students from those countries will be sent back home

Section B

  There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.

  The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful and positive things.They are in good spirits all the time.People like to make friends with them and are happy when they are successful.It can make you popular among your classmates and strengthen the relationship with others.

  Those who are to be unhappy always think and speak the negative things.So they are continually discontented.Those people tend to criticize and offend others, which makes themselves disagreeable everywhere.No one loves them and treats them as their friends.No one shows respect to them, either.They should change this bad habit, or they would not live a happier life.

Recently, a study was carried out to determine who was the greatest American president.Sixty-five presidential historians took part in it, and they judged the past forty-two American leaders based on ten leadership qualities, including public persuasiveness(信服), crisis leadership, management of the economy, moral leadership, and conduct of international relations.The historians also looked at administrative ability (管理能力), relations with Congress, ability to set goals, and the pursuit of equal justice for all.Finally, the experts took into consideration the historical period in which the president lived.
