In America,drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum(課程). Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses,it is not given during the regular school year.Instead it is a summer course.?
The course is divided up into two parts:class time for learning laws and regulations, and driving time to practise driving.Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a driver’s license.
Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering,backing up,parking,switching lanes,turning corners,and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car.Each student is required to drive a total of six hours.The students are divided up into groups of four.The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time.Thus,each student gets half an hour driving time per outing.The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive(this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old),they can go to a designated(指定的) state office to take their driver’s test,which is made up of an eye examination,a written test,and a road test.The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license.If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class,he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.?

As we all know, any country has good reasons to want its citizens to be as healthy as possible. This led to the introduction of a health service in many countries. France has developed into a country in which all citizens can get most of the health treatment free. The money for this is partly from the people who are willing to offer.
But there are different opinions about the Health Service. The number of patients treated every year and the cost of treatment are much greater than expected. This means that the people who work for the Health Service --- doctors, nurses and other hospital workers, have much more work to do, and as a result they have little time for preventive treatment.
However, the tough problem is that as many people are able to receive treatment more expensive than they can pay, sometimes people go and visit their doctors when they don’t really need to. As there are many patients, doctors cannot spend time long enough with each patient. So some people prefer to pay for their own treatment so that their doctors can examine them more carefully. In fact, some rich people feel that they should pay more free money, which would be given to other citizens.
小題1: France is described as an example to show that __________.
A.people have to pay part of the medical care
B.everyone in France enjoys free medical care
C.it is a country with the Health Service
D.it is a very rich country in Europe
小題2: What is the problem in the Health Service?
A.Money is not enough to employ more medical workers.
B.There are not enough well-treated doctors.
C.People can get more preventive treatment.
D.Doctors and nurses are not working hard.
小題3: Why do many people go and see the doctors even when they really don’t need to?
A.To keep himself even more healthy.B.To receive treatment free of charge.
C.To take back some expensive medicine. D.To get necessary protective treatment.
小題4:What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The Health Service is quite successful so far.
B.People should not go to the doctors unless necessary.
C.There is much to improve the Health Service.
D.The rich should be allowed to pay for the treatment.

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch (從頭開始 )? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The results were surprising.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents (回答者) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school. 
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and obviously their pets too.
"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results pose (對... 提出) serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
小題1:For the interest of country people should         .    
A.continue watching the same channel rather than get up to get the remote control
B.carry out even the most basic of tasks
C.get enough exercise to get fitter
D.a(chǎn)dmit they do not get enough exercise
小題2:Which of the following statements agrees with British people?  
A.They are fond of climbing the stairs.
B.They are willing to accompany their children.
C.They like sports and get enough exercise.
D.They are suffering from obesity-related illnesses.
小題3:What does the word "idle" in paragraph 2 mostly probably mean?   
A.a(chǎn)ctiveB.lazyC.optimisticD.pessimistic
小題4:Which country is the writer most likely to come from?
A.AmericaB.ChinaC.U.KD.France
小題5: What's the main idea of the passage?  
A.UK is taking measures to get over laziness.
B.How lazy British people are.
C.British people are suffering from laziness.
D.Challenges for the National Health Service.

In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛織網(wǎng)). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?
Second, is the goal(目標)you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”
小題1: This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph 1, the author talks mainly about __         .
A.the value of failure

For Chinese wanting to work as nurses in the United Sates, the arrival of the test of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) may be a welcome move.
The CGFNS has a certification programme for people wanting to work as registered nurses in the US. The first CGFNS test in China is to be held in Beijing in July. Registrations is open till April 9. According to US labour law, nurses have to pass the National Council License Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) before they can practise. However, the NCLEX-RN is only useful in the US, making it difficult for people from other countries to get in. But, the US expects a shortage of 50,000 nurses by 2010. So, the CGFNS has not replaced the NCLEX-RN, which is still needed for work as a registered nurse in the US.
So what exactly does CGFNS do?
First of all, it helps international nurses qualify for a work visa for the US. Nurses educated abroad who do not have a US license by the NCLEX-RN, must get the CGFNS certificate. “But not everyone who gets a CGFNS certificate can get a work visa. There are many requirements for a visa, and the CGFNS is just one,” said John Ratigan, immigration officer for the CGFNS.
The certificate helps applicants meet requirements for the NCLEX-RN. Forty-two states require a CGFNS certificate from nurses educated abroad before taking the NCLEX-RN examination.
About 85 percent of those who passed the CGFNS have passed the NCLEX-RN. According to Barbara Michols, chief executive officer of CGFNS, “the CGFNS is cost-efficient for the Chinese. If they can’t pass the CGFNS here in China, their chances of passing the NCLEX-RN for the US are tiny. This saves time and money on visa applications and the long trip. ” In a word, to get a CGFNS certificate, a person must have: a credentials review, the CGFNS qualifying exam of nursing knowledge and an English language proficiency exam.
小題1:   We can infer from the text that to people hoping to work as registered nurses in the US, CGFNS tests can be taken _____.
A.nowhere but in the USB.somewhere outside the US
C.in every country but the USD.both in China and the US
小題2: According to American labour law, people cannot work as nurses until they pass                   _____.
A.NCLEX-RNB.CGFNS
C.CGFNS and NCLEX-RND.CGFNS or NCLEX-RN
小題3:We can learn from the text that _____.
A.if you get a CGFNS certificate, you can pass the NCLEX-RN in the US and get visa
applications
B.if you pass the NCLEX-RN in the US, you can get a CGFNS certificate and get visa
applications
C.if you can't pass the NCLEX-RN in the US, you will not be able to pass the CGFNS
examination
D.if you get a CGFNS certificate, you will be more likely to pass the NCLEX-RN examination
小題4:The sentence "CGFNS holders have a higher rate of success on the NCLEX-RN examination" can be arranged at the beginning of Paragraph _____.
A.Two B.Four C.Five D.Six
小題5:What is probably the best title of this passage?
A.The CGFNS helps international nurses
B.The first CGFNS test in China
C.The CGFNS and the NCLEX-RN

The high school day is about 7 hours long. Part of the day is made into classes of about 50 minutes long. The students have lunch in the middle of the day. American students study English, history, math, science, art and languages. Some also learn job skills. They can learn how to use a computer or how to mend a car.

For some kids, old photos and baby pictures are embarrassing. For others, they are cherished keepsakes (紀念品). But for thousands of children living in orphanages (孤兒院) worldwide, these records of the past simply don't exist. Either the kids' parents weren't around to snap photos, or the pictures have been lost. Whatever the reason is, the Memory Project is giving orphans a lasting document of their youth.
Over the last two years, the Memory Project has provided hand-painted portraits to more than 4,000 children living in orphanages in poor countries. Ben Schumaker, 24, got the idea when he was visiting an orphanage in Guatemala in Central America. But he's not creating the portraits(肖像) alone. Students in hundreds of high school art classes across the U.S. paint them using photos sent from the orphanages.
Schumaker believes that the artists benefit from the project as much as the orphans do. “There are two purposes of the Memory Project,” he said. “One is to offer a special gift to the child abroad. The other is to help open the eyes of the student who is painting.” Staring into the eyes of another person, Schumaker believes, it creates a real connection. This connection raises awareness in U.S. schools about the needs of the world's poor children. “It's about planting a seed,” he said.
Schumaker is also working on Books of Hope, a project in which students of all ages put together homemade books for children in Uganda and India. He hopes that one day children in Uganda and India will send books to the U.S. “It's important to me to have it be a two-way exchange,” Schmnaker says.
小題1:
Old photos and baby pictures are clearly unavailable to             .
A.the kids in rich familiesB.the kids in common families
C.the kids in expanded familiesD.the kids without parents
小題2:
How can the orphans in Guatemala get a continuing record of their youth?
A.By hand-painted portraits that Ben Schumaker painted.
B.By the photos the orphanage taken for them.
C.By the photos taken by the U.S. students in high schools.
D.By the Memory Project started by Ben Schumaker.
小題3:
What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A.The special gifts that the world's poor children received.
B.The benefits that the Memory Project brings.
C.The need of the US schools.
