In the current economic downturn, many American schools are adding a new subject to the curriculum（課程）; financial literacy. One program in Virginia even gets students out of the classroom for a day to learn how far their money will go in the real world.
What looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of young people. Finance Park is a special facility where students apply what they have been taught in class about money management.
“They become, essentially, adults for the day,” says Alice Reilly, social studies coordinator for Fairfax County Public Schools. “They are asked to develop a budget for 18 line items that you and I might have in our budget; things like utilities, insurance, groceries, housing.”
Each budget item is represented by a storefront where students collect an option sheet. Students must refer to a card that shows their income and their family size, when they choose what to buy. There’s also a stock ticker so students can keep track of shares in their portfolios（投資組合）.
The facility opened last year in Fairfax, Virginia. It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement USA, a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing young people for financial success.
“Since the financial crisis, the demand for Finance Parks around the country has grown exponentially," says Ed Grenier, president of the Washington, DC chapter. "We have a number under way in the planning and building stages.”
Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular curriculum in Fairfax County.“Some students, some teachers, some schools did it, but now it is much more systematic," Reilly says, "and it is much more consistent to ensure that all students get this background information.”
That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will eventually spend a day here.Thirteen-year-old Sam says she has learned an important life lesson. “I didn’t know how expensive everything would be.”
Anthony, also 13, is looking forward to telling his parents what he learned. “I’ll probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer and take my time to become an adult.”
This isn’t the end of financial studies for Anthony and the other students here. Virginia is one of 13 states which requires students to take a financial education in high school in order to graduate.
【小題1】What is the aim of this Finance Park?
A . To raise enough money for the secondary schools in Virginia.
B. To enable students to apply money management knowledge to practice.
C. To provide students in Virginia with special chances for Advanced Placement.
D. To direct students in Washington,D.C. to learn more about money management.
【小題2】Who is expected to spend a whole day in the Finance Park?
A .Young people all over Virginia.
B. Junior students in Washington,D.C.
C. Eighth graders in Fairfax County.
D. Eighth graders' parents in Virginia.
【小題3】What can we learn from this passage?
A . Extra curriculum is necessary in secondary schools.
B. Fairfax County Public Schools set a good example.
C. An organization helps youth in U.S. for financial success.
D. Financial Literacy is very popular in Washington,D.C.
【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that _________________.
A . Alice Reilly developed a budget for 18 items in the Finance Park.
B. ED Grenier was against building more finance parks in U.S.A.
C. Sam did quite well in managing his budge in the Finance Park.

It is ten o'clock at night and you are outside. You can see many stars in the sky. Each star is another sun. The sky is big, and it hag many suns.
Our sun is near to us. It warms us and gives us light in daytime. The stars are not near. We can see their light only at night, and they do not warm us.
The stars are not all the same. Many stars are quite like our sun. They are the same size, and they have the same colour, yellow. Other stars are bigger or smaller. A “giant(巨人)” star is very, very big. A “dwarf(侏儒)”is a small star—smaller than the sun.
Stars have different colours, too. They can be blue, orange, yellow, white or red. There are giants and dwarfs in all these colours. All stars are, of course, very hot. The hottest stars are the blue ones. White stars come next, they are less hot. Then yellow and orange stars are less hot again. Red stars are the least hot, and they are also the oldest stars.
Light moves very quickly across the sky, eighteen million (18,000,000)kilometers in a minute. Our nearest star is a red dwarf. Its name is Proxima Centauri ( proxima ＝ nearest), and it gives a weak, red light. We can just see this light. It left Proxima Centauri 4.25 years ago, and now tonight, it is reaching cur eyes. Think about it! In one minute, 18,000,000 kilometres. So, in 4.25 years—well, how many kilometers? You can find the answer yourself.
I will just say this: Proxima Centauri is a long way from us.
1．According to the temperatures on stars, the right order from the lowest temperature to the highest is ________.

2．All the following am right except ________.
[ ]
A．a(chǎn) “dwarf” is smaller than the sun
B．there are dwarfs in different colours
C．a(chǎn) “dwarf” is a small star
D．dwarfs are the least hot
3．How far away is the star Proxima Centauri from us?
[ ]
A．40,208,400,000,000 kilometres.
B．9,460,800,000,000 kilometres.
C．679,140,000,000 kilometres .
D．279,225,000,000 kilometres .
4．When we say “The star Procyon is ‘ten light years’ away.”, we mean ________.
[ ]

B．we first saw the star ten years ago
C．the light left Procyon ten years ago
D．Procyon has been that far away for ten years

Trees should only be pruned（修剪）when there is a good and clear reason fordoing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small．Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size．The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape．Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier．You may cur out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds．The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing the branches that are locking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open would is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for diseases, but it is a wound that will heal（愈合）．Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, or that there is a period when the tree is at risk．It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce the risk as far as possible．It is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness．You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose．Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without the interference（妨礙）from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed．If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.
1．Why should pruning be done?
A．To make the tree grow taller. B．To improve the shape of the tree.
C．To get rid of the small branches. D．To make the small branches thicker.
2．Trees become unhealthy if the gardener .
A．helps a wound to dry.
B．covers a rough surface.
C．damages some of the small side branches
D．a(chǎn)llows too many branches to grow in the middle
3．Why is a special material painted on the tree?
A．To help a wound to dry. B．To cover a rough surface.
C．To make a wound smooth. D．To prevent disease entering a wound.
4．A good gardener prunes a tree .
A．several times throughout the year B．a(chǎn)s quickly as possible
C．occasionally when necessary D．regularly every winter
5．What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?
A．To discuss different methods of pruning.
B．To introduce some common knowledge of pruning.
