閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在短文后的表格中填入恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意：表格的每個(gè)空格只填一個(gè)單詞。

Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment （投資）available in the developing world. Women's education may be unusual territory for economists（經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家）, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics（經(jīng)濟(jì)因素）, with its emphasis on incentives, provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived（剝奪）of an education.

　　Parents in low-income countries fail to invest（投資）in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy （預(yù)言) becomes self- fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (惡性循環(huán)) of neglect.

　　An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy.

Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.

B

He is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life.

The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements, as impressive as they are, are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.

Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the country’s top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College — still recovering from its failure — back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However, I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.

After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall — still fit at 46 — for lunch Monday, he wore a cut-sharp gray suit, designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success. “That was always the question — when the cheers end, where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.”

Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good of an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take care of things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.”

For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination.

Congratulations, Ray, you made it. In more ways than one.          

1.Ray was regarded as a savior because ________.

A．he liked to take on challenges

B．he helped his team to regain its glory

3.What’s the right order of the events related to Ray?

a. He was rated among the best high school basketball players.

b. He was in a car accident.

d. He started his computer sales job.

e. He gave up his athletic career.

A．a(chǎn), c, b, e, d         B．a(chǎn), c, e, b, d         C．c, a, b, d, e         D．c, a, e, b, d

4.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．Ray was from an academic family

B．Ray was very mature in his teens

C．Ray was once desperate facing the cruel reality

Yesterday my friends or I visited a model high school. We start our visit from the main

building. First we went to the lab building in that some students were doing experiments. Then we entered in the lecture hall behind the lab building and saw many students listen to a lecture given a professor. Next to the lecture hall was the art center. There they watched groups of students playing musical instrument. On the playground some boys were playing the football. It was so exciting that we couldn’t help cheer for them. It was really an impressive visit.

Some wonderfully creative uses of X-rays have been in the world of art．But the most impressive one is to uncover what has been covered up．Details unfolded by an X-ray of a painting can ' t be seen any other way．For example, in the past, paintings were often repaired if small pieces of paint fell off the canvas （帆布）． These repairs cannot be seen just by looking at the painting．It takes an X-ray to discover where the repairs have been made．

An X-ray of a painting is one of the best ways to tell if it was created by a famous painter or if it is a forgery（贗品）．If there is a question as to whether an old master has painted a certain painting or not, X-rays are made and compared to those of paintings that are known to be original．If the brushstrokes （筆跡） , for example, are shown to be totally different than in other work done by a certain artist, then the painting is proved to be a fake copy．

Since modern paints are usually made from different materials than paints of hundreds of years ago, the image they leave on an X-ray film looks different．This is another way X-rays can be used to spot a forgery．A modem artist will try to make a forgery look hundreds of years old by painting dirty varnish on it or by using artificial means to get the varnish to look cracked．To the naked eye the forgery may look old, but when a careful study of the X-ray image is made, the deception is obvious．

It was common many years ago for an artist to finish a painting, decide it wasn't any good, and paint a completely different picture on top of it．Or artists would paint over others' work —it was their version of recycling．Taking an X-ray is the only way to find out if there is a picture underneath the picture you see with your eyes．Sometimes museums will be more interested in the painting beneath than the one on top, and will restore the older one by having the top layer painstakingly removed．

1.What is the main purpose of the article?

A．To provide information to police who are looking for stolen art．

B．To persuade art dealers to check for fake copies before selling art．

C．To explain how modern technology can be applied in unique ways．

D．To help artists restore damaged artwork to its original appearance．

2.According to the passage，X-rays are used to ______．

A．make repairs on paintings in the past

B．identify the authenticity of an artwork

C．change the materials of a forgery

D．remove the recyclable paints

3.In Paragraph 3, the word "deception" probably means ______．

A．comparison        B．drawback          C．trickery           D．judgement

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A．X-ray Detectives

B．Creative Uses of Technology

C．Forgery Studies

D．X-ray Painting Techniques
