10.The Man Booker Prize
The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded every year for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction.The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize,which was the name of the company that sponsored it,though it was better-known as simply the‘Booker Prize'.In 2002,the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name,keeping‘Booker'.
Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize,but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted they think should be included.Firstly,the Advisory Committee give advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the books.The judging panel changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.
Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and professions within the industry,so that a writer,a critic,an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society.However,when the panel of judges has been finalized,they are left to make their own decisions without any further involvement or interference from the prize sponsor.
The Man Booker judges include critics,writers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably,in addition to the£50,000that comes with the prize.

20.An American educational expert,F(xiàn)rederick M.Hess says that a long summer vacation doesn't make sense in today's world.
    This summer,50 million kids will spend much time talking online,watching TV,plsying video games and asking older brothers or sisters to take them to the supermarket.They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.
    During much of the 20th century,many Americans worked in factories that did not need a college degree but still offered a high salary.Also,in the 19th century,there was no air condition.And poor hygiene(衛(wèi)生)meant that crowded schools had health risks.
    Things have changed.For today's students,academic skills are key to future success..many nations don't give kids an American-style summer vacation.They offer no more than seven consecutive(連續(xù)的)weeks of vacation.Most American school districts offer up to 13 weeks.To compete in global marketplace,Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.
    Summer vacation also causes challenges for today's families.In the 1960s,more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home mum.Now,two-thirds of American children live families where every adult works.For these families,summer vacation can be more burden than break.Someone must watch the kids.
    But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement.Scientist have found that disadvantaged students lose important ground in the summertime.
    A school year can allow time-limited teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons.Schools would have more time for sports,languages,music and the arts.
