    The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the fanning culture of China. In the farming economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)), oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁).

Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as “boats on land” for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.

    In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities. For example, some people who1ive in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13. They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members. In order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar (農(nóng)歷), and during their run they will take their oxen along, which indicates they regard the creature as human.

    Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal. In addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.

         A. animals for taking goods                 B. creatures for pulling plows

From the third paragraph, we know that __  

        A. oxen are no more important today than in the past

        B. ceremonies are held when people cook cattle bone soup

C. oxen are treated as human in some areas of China

        D. people run with oxen to shake off diseases every month

Which of the following helps to develop traditional customs?  

        A. The special role of oxen in farming.

B. People’s respect and love for oxen.

C. The practical value of an ox’s body.

D. The contribution of oxen to the economy.

Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.

     The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential.

Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says, “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.”

    Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes(蚊子）.His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.

       The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It’s “molecular(分子）science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says. The program broadened students’ knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.

     At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They’re also paid $600 for their work-another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.

     Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.

1.The research program is chiefly designed for  _______.

A. high school advisers from Houston

B. college students majoring in agriculture

C. high school students from different places

D. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

2.It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas  ___________ .

A. had little chance to go to college

B. could often take part in the program

C. found the program useful to their future

D. showed much interest in their high school experiments

3.When the program was over, the students  ________.

A. entered that college            B. wrote research reports

C. paid for their research           D. found way to make money

4.The underlined expression “on the cutting edge” in paragraph 5 means “on the most  ___ position”.

A. important                     B. favorable

C. astonishing                   D. advanced
