Liu Jiaoyang, 16, carefully winds a bobbin(繞線筒) with thread, places it on her sewing machine (縫紉機(jī)) and then presses her foot down to begin sewing.While she' s doing this, she pretends to guide fabric (布料)through the machine.Liu looks forward to the class when she can work on a piece of real cloth, and make a beautiful dress.
Each Tuesday afternoon, after the bell rings for the fourth period, Liu becomes a fashion designer.At the same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones.Some students dance, others create robots, and still others review films.These are just a few of the other 27 elective (選修的) courses besides Liu's sewing class that the school began to offer last month.
"The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week.I learn how to choose colors and fabrics (織物) as well as sewing and sketching (素描) skills.It's all helping me to realize the dream of becoming a fashion designer I' ve had since I was a little girl, " Liu said.
Design is Liu' s favorite, but for other students the electives are interesting lessons which relieve (舒緩) the pressures of schoolwork.Some students, for example, are learning how to play bridge.Chen Xi,15, is one of them.She said, "Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time.But in fact, bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills."
小題1:How often do the students have elective classes?
A.Once a week   B.Once a month   C.Once a term    D.Once a year
小題2:How many elective courses had the school offered by last month?
A.27B.28C.26D.25
小題3:Why did the students like to have elective classes?
A.Because the elective classes are easier.
B.Because they needn't do any homework in the elective classes.
C.Because they can get an opportunity to relieve their pressures.
D.Because they want to be fashion designers in the future.
小題4:According to the passage many people think____in class is a waste of time.

“I grew up on Jackson’s music and I still have all his stuff on My iPod. I think that Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers. His brilliance as a performance also was paired with a tragic and in many ways,sad personal life.”
Michael Jackson was a singer,songwriter,dancer and celebrity icon with a vast catalog of hit records and countless awards to his credit. Beyond that,he had transfixed the world like few entertainers before or since. As a solo performer,he had enjoyed a level of superstardom previously known  ——Barack Obama
only to Elvis Presley,the Beatles and  Frank Sinatra.
Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the 80s’,and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time.
Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29,1958.The fifth and youngest son of steelworker Joe Jackson,Michael displayed a talent for music and dance from an extremely young age. His father began to organize a family musical group around his three eldest sons in 1962,and Michael joined them the following year,quickly establishing himself as a dynamic stage performer. Dubbed the Jackson 5,the group signed to Motown in 1968 and issued their debut single in October 1969,when Michael was just 11 years old. I Want You Back,ABC,The Love You Save and I’ll Be There all hit number one in 1970,making the Jackson 5 the first group in pop history to have their first four singles top the charts. Later in 1972,Jackson had his first number one solo single,Ben. In 1977,he met producer/composer Quincy Jones for the first time. With Jones producing,Jackson recorded his first solo album as an adult,Off the Wall.
Released(發(fā)行) in 1982,the Quincy Jones produced Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall:the dance and rock tracks were more driving,the pop tunes and ballads softer and more soulful,and all of it was recognizably Michael. There was no surprise that Thriller was a hit;what was a surprise was its staying power .Jackson’s duet with McCartney,The Girl Is Mine,was a natural single choice,and it peaked at number two;then Billie Jean and the Van Halen track Beat It both hit number one,for seven and three weeks respectively.
Michael Jackson died from heart disease on June 25 at age 50.

Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
  When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn‘t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.
  She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around classes to keep from getting stiff(不靈活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.

Even if he is not the most liked comedian in China today, his popularity certainly has risen the fastest within the last two months.
He's "Little Shenyang", who came into national fame overnight after his appearance on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. With his funny cross-dressing, unique northeastern accent and superb imitative(模仿的) skills, Little Shenyang has obvious talent to support his rise to fame.
Hundreds of video clips of his shows have been posted on YouTube and other online video sites, and his performance fees reportedly grew 50-fold in just a few weeks. He has, at the same time, become one of the most controversial of entertainers.
Many have doubted his artistic potential, pointing out that his shows were repetitive and lacked creativity, a key to continued comedic success. Others belittle (輕視) the style of humor, saying it's too crude and appeals only to less-educated people. His defenders were just as up in arms. Many media commentators and bloggers said that his quick rise to star proved the broad appeal of his art form. He became a national champion not because of his "northeastern hick(鄉(xiāng)巴佬)" humor, they argued, but because he represented something new on TV, something with a grassroots feel that appealed to millions of ordinary people.
Now, does Little Shenyang really deserve his star status?
小題1: Some people belittle Little Shenyang’s humor because _________. 
A.He represents something with a grassroots feel.
B.The style of humor lacked creativity.
C.He speaks with a northeast accent.
D.He became famous overnight.
小題2:What’s the secret of Little Shenyang’s success?                 
A.His funny cross-dressing.
B.His unique accent
C.His super imitative skills
D.All of the above
小題3:From the passage, we can infer that _________.                
A.Little Shenyang is the most popular comedian in China.
B.Few people like Little Shenyang’s performance.
C.Little Shenyang earns a lot of money now.
D.The author thinks little of Little Shenyang.
