     If you look for a book as a present for a child,you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there
is no new Harry Potter.  J. K Rowling's wizard is not alone. The past decade has been a harvest for
good children's books ,which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics
such as The Lord of the Rings.
     Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997,
23% said they didn't like reading at all. In 2003, 35% didn't. And around 6% of the children leave
primary school each year unable to read properly.
      Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books
boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans
to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project
of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
     Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour
classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation this year reported that children on the school
made 20 months' progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made
just five months' progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
     International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school, they read well ,
but read text often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen
on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational
success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
1. Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A. Many children's books have been adapted from films.
B. Many high-quality children's books have been published.
C. The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D. The sales of presents for children have increased.
2. Statistics suggested that .
A. the number of top students increased with the use of computers
B. a decreasing number of  children showed interest in reading
C. a minority of primary school children read properly
D. a huge percentage of children read regularly
3. What do we know about Reading Recovery?
A. An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.
B. Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C. It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D. Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
4. Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _________.
A. take greater advantage of the project  
B. show the potential to enjoy a long life
C. are likely to succeed in their education.  
D. would make excellent future researchers
5. The aim of this text would probably be _________.
A. to overcome primary school pupils reading difficulty.
B. to encourage the publication of more children's books
C. to remind children of the importance of reading for fun
D. to introduce a way to improve early children reading

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尷尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination（歧視）.
About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment（就業(yè)） did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe（嚴(yán)重）.
Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories（范疇）, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone（傾向）than others.
Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate（侵犯）people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公務(wù)員) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
