The young immigrants   38  from the U.S. school system, but only up through high school.

However, there may be some hope because of the DREAM Act, which will be voted on in Congress (國會).
The DREAM Act is a/an   41  aid program for the young illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. before they were 16. Those who apply for this program can get   42  and temporary residing (居住) status, which can be changed, once   43 , to a green card after six years. These immigrants can then use their newly acquired status to seek green cards for their   44 . In this way, it can also provide citizenship for the illegal foreigners who brought their children to the US.

Juan came to the U.S. with his mother and older brother at eight. He is hoping for the DREAM Act to be      47 . While he admits that there is no obvious prejudice in high school, Juan   48  faces unfair racial treatment.

Dear Michelle:
My Dad hates my Mom. He tells me that she is a liar and that I should not trust her. Of course, they are divorced but they have “joint custody(共同監(jiān)護(hù))”. What a joke! I am 15, my brother is nine, and we have a life of hell, frankly.
We live one week on and one week off. This was the brilliant idea of both of my parents, which was fair to them but ruining my life. I can’t get away from his voice and his putting my mom down. Sometimes I think about running away.
A Hopeless Ant
Dear Hopeless Ant:
First, thank you for trusting me with your problem. If all you said is correct, then there are several
things that you can and should do to help yourself, your brother, and your parents.
● You need a family counselor(顧問). Such a person could listen to each family member alone and
then meet together to talk about the situation.
If refused, you need to talk to a counselor in your school. You need to be heard, and you need an
adult who will listen. A school counselor can organize a meeting with your parents.
● Perhaps you need to write to her. Writing things down allows people to go over it more than one
time.
I cannot imagine that she will stand passively by and do nothing at all to help once she reads how
you feel. Your father needs a letter as well. He may not realize the destructive effect that it has on his
children.
● Lastly, have a plan in mind when all else fails that is not self-destructive. Life passes very quickly, and you will grow up and have your own life.
Above all, you need to keep yourself safe. Never doubt that it will get better. Write back and let me know how everything is going.
The Hopeless Ant wrote the letter to _______.
A. complain about the problems
B. ask for advice
C. make his father punished
D. just play a joke
小題1:.
The Hopeless Ant hated his father because __________.
A．his father always told a lie
B．his father wasn’t friendly to his mother
C．his father divorced his mother
D．the Hopeless Ant couldn’t stay with his parents
小題2:.
According to the text, which of the following advice is in greatest need for the Hopeless Ant?
A．Keep himself safe.B．Have a talk with his parents.
C．Have his own family plan.D．Write letters to families.
小題3:.
In which part of a website may the passage appear?

But if you plan to do that using your cellphone, you could have an unwelcome surprise—U.S. cellphones don’t work abroad.

One in five American families will move every year. Moving is one of the most stress-producing events a family has to go through. Experts say it can be harder for children. How do you help your child adjust to the changes?
The Ricardos moved from their old house to a new home. Same family, same dog-but it was harder for 9-year-old Elena. She hated the room, the house and everything. She hated leaving her friends the most.
“ I was so emotional. I mean, saying goodbye to all my friends…..my very close friends, who was my neighbor, made me so sad,” says Elena.
For some children, the emotional stress of moving is not much more different from the emotions when someone has died.
“There’s that sense that, ‘I’ve lost my friends, my friends, my base, my school, my teachers-everything I knew that made me feel safe is all gone now. I have to start over,” says Dr. Tim Jordan.
Starting over is exactly Dr. Tim Jordan’s advice. Make new friends, enter the new school and enter the new neighborhood. And here are some other pieces of advice.
● Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.
● Familiarize(使熟悉) the children as much as possible with the new area with maps, photographs or the daily newspaper.
● After the move, got the children to join in activities in the place.
● Help the children keep in touch with friends from the neighborhood before through telephone, letters, e-mail, and personal visits.
小題1:
Which of the following is useful to reduce the children’s stress before the move?
A．Let doctors give children some advice.
B．Try letting children accept the fact of moving.
C．Let children keep in touch with their former friends.
D．Copy the new environment in the old home.
小題2:
What can we know from the passage?
A．Most American children can get used to the changes in moving.
B．Dr. Tim Jordan lost his family, friends, teachers after moving.
C．The emotional stress of moving is the same in some way as that of knowing someone’s death.
D．the Ricardos lost their dogs after moving to their new house.
小題3:
The passage mainly wants to _____
A．tell parents the reasons of moving.B．explain the reasons of stress.
C．give parents some advice on moving.D．teach parents how to move.

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It isn’t the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There’s no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration(實(shí)證) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at the theory through mathematics. The accuracy(正確性) of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were proved to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations(計(jì)算) that may test his investigations
小題1: What makes a scientist according to the passage?
A．The tools he uses.B．His ways of learning
C．The way he uses his toolsD．The various tools he uses
小題2: “…knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone.”
The writer says this to show ___________.
A．the importance of information
B．the difference between scientists and ordinary people.
C．the importance of thinking
D．the difference between carpenters and ordinary people
小題3: A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.
A．works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other times
B．doesn’t allow any change even under different conditions
C．Can be used many times under different conditions
D．Can be used for many purposes
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Scientists are different from ordinary people.
B．The Theory of Relativity.
C．Exactness is the core (核心) of science.
D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist.
