This year’s Newsweek list of the top 100 high schools shows that today those with fewer students are rising.
Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek Top School List based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22.
Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern high schools outside the cities with thousands of students. Big schools meant economic efficiency, a greater choice of courses, and better football teams. But only years later did we understand that it involved the difficulty of strengthening personal connections between teachers and students. SAT scores began dropping; on average, 30% of students did not complete high school in four years, a figure that rose to 50% in poor city neighborhoods. High schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.
Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable trend toward smaller schools. This has been partly due to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools — most of them with about 400 kids, each with an average enrollment of only 150 students per grade. About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred.
Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, California, is one of those ranking No.423 — among the top 2% in the country. In 2003, Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses”. 300 students arriving ninth graders are randomly assigned to one of the houses, where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents. Along with the new structure came the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.”It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,” says Jeff Gilbert. “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.”
But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.
Ranking schools is always controversial. Over the years this system has been criticized for its simplicity — list of top U.S. high schools was made merely according to the proportion of students taking college-level exams. This year a group of 38 superintendents (地區(qū)教育主管) from five states wrote to ask that their schools should be excluded from the calculation. “It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation,” their letter read. “Determining whether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at many different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments, their later performance in college, and taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”
小題1:What can we learn about the schools sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
A.They are often located in poor neighborhoods.
B.They are popular with high-achieving students.
C.They are mostly small in size.
D.Another 150 schools invested by the Foundation are planned to be set up.

I remember as a small child when we would have these gatherings where someone would come up and ask, “What are you going to be when you grow up?”?
Well, it    41   being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, policeman, lawyer ... As I grew older my dreams of the future   42  . When, at last, I was in college, I made up my   43    to become a preacher(牧師) as my father.    44    I studied and prepared for that life. I reached    45  in the end and I was preaching nearly fulltime for much of my adult life.
However, for many, there is a “thief” which goes around stealing our   46   . Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the    47   thief is, so many times, just    48  .?
We find ourselves just about reaching the top, and this “small”    49    inside says, “You will never make   50   .” “You can’t possibly do this.” And on and on the “small” voice 51       some kind of failure. Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are    52   . It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable   53   . And, when we learn these lessons well, we are ready    54   success.
The message I always gave my children was that you   55   do anything your heart desires. Remember the saying, “Nothing is    56  to a willing heart.” There are   57   “overnight” successes, but with determination, it will come. Imagine yourself in the life you dream of   58   . Then in your heart, believe it   59  happen for you. Then work, work, work. You get the picture.

Restoring the quake­hit ecosystems is a question of balancing the interests of the local people and the environment. Rural methane (沼氣) projects can reduce the number of locals taking firewood from the mountainsides. The use of straw as food for animals will ensure that vegetation(草木) can grow. In Sihai township and Dazhuangke village, in Beijing, they now have a forestry coverage of 85% or more, compared to the 30% they had 15 years ago. Back then, land was used very inefficiently: one person would use 20 mu of forest just for firewood. With those pressures on the ecosystem, no amount of spending on reforestation will succeed. Then the government relocated the population and paid those who remained to tend the forest and provide coal. This reduced the pressures on the ecosystem and it was able to recover naturally.
When an ecosystem has not been pushed past certain limits, it is able to recover on its own. Human involvement should only play a minor role, including after an earthquake. This is particularly the case for sandy grasslands, grasslands deserts, the mountains of the south and the northern sides of mountains in the north. In these areas soil remains and the water, light, heat and nutrients needed are available. Less human involvement is even more appropriate in areas with a small population, where it can avoid money being wasted on ineffective efforts, such as creating forests in dry areas.
The creation of nature reserves should be a model to allow damaged ecosystems to recover. Funding can start at the national level; centrally­funded nature reserves can enforce environmental protection laws and help to promote the local economy. This will solve the problems of reserves being run to make money. When national reserves are funded, local governments will be able to adopt the same model and provide the funds for nature reserves from their own budgets. The first project should be established in nature reserves hit by the quake; these can then become models for other areas.
小題1:To restore the quake­hit ecosystem, government should ________.
A.forbid locals from taking firewood from the mountainsides
B.encourage local people to feed their animals just with straw
C.spend large amounts of money relocating the population
D.protect the environment without harming locals' interests
小題2:The forestry coverage in rural Beijing has increased greatly because ________.
A.pressures on land were reducedB.a(chǎn) large amount of coal is provided
C.no people live in that areaD.locals take good care of the forest
小題3:According to the passage ________ play(s) a major role in ecosystem recovery.
A.local peopleB.nature itself
C.human involvementD.government's effort
小題4:According to the last paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?
A.Nature reserves could be helpful to recover the damaged ecosystems.
B.Centrally­funded nature reserves are beneficial to local economy.
C.Some nature reserves are created for the purpose of making money.
D.The first projects on nature reserves should be set up in quake­hit areas.

Exhausted and unhappy, you still have to squeeze a smile to your friends, or teachers. That’s just life, you may think. But new research suggests that putting on a fake smile can worsen people’s mood and even lower work efficiency.
Lead researcher Brent Scott with other researchers studied a group of bus drivers for two weeks. They tried to find out what happened when the drivers were involved in “surface acting” or fake smiling, and the opposite, “deep acting” which means people put on real smiles by recalling pleasant memories or thinking about their current situation more positively.
The results showed that on days when drivers were forced to smile, they felt depressed and didn’t want to work. On days when they smiled due to positive thoughts, their mood improved a lot as well as their work efficiency.
The research goes against the popular belief among companies that employees should be cheerful to customers at all times. They include employees of shops, banks, call center workers and others who have face-to-face contact with members of the public. “Smiling for the sake of(為了) smiling can lead to emotional exhaustion and coldness, and that’s bad for the organization,” Scott told the Daily Mail.
The study also showed that women were harmed more by fake smiling than men. Their mood and work performance both worsened more. But they were helped more by deep acting — their mood became better and they worked more efficiently.
However, while deep acting seemed to improve mood in the short term, Scott says it’s not a long-term solution for unhappiness.
“There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period that you start to feel inauthentic(不真實(shí)的),” Scott said. “You may be trying to cultivate positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself anymore.”
小題1:Brent Scott and others’ experiments on bus drivers suggest that ______.
A.depression among bus drivers is common
B.thinking in a positive way helps with work efficiency
C.bus drivers with pleasant memories tend to be less efficient
D.the bus drivers’ work efficiency is determined by their mood
小題2:According to the article, which of the following statements about “fake smiling” is TRUE?
A.It is good for the business but bad for the employees.
B.It doesn’t work on people who are emotionally expressive.
C.It is a widely accepted cultural practice in the US.
D.It causes more harm to women than men.
小題3:We can conclude from the article that the researchers think that ______.
A.people should be true to their feelings
B.smiling helps to put people in a good mood and become more efficient
C.it is unnecessary to cultivate positive emotions
D.deep acting can improve mood in the long run
小題4:The article is mainly about ______.
A.the importance of smiling during face-to-face contact
B.a(chǎn) new study on fake smiling and its influence on people
C.suggestions on improving work efficiency
D.how to cheer up when you are exhausted

It's not about how much money you make, and it's not about who your daddy is. We're talking about being attractive in general, whether it's on a job interview or just gaining the respect of your colleagues . . .
Ask lots of questions
If you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all!), it really pushes people away. Rather, asking lots and lots of questions makes people feel like you care, you can be trusted.
Great body language
Your body language says a lot about you - it says whether you have confidence, or simply if you really care. Talking physically, it is one of the most important physical characteristics you need!
Stay busy
Always have something to do. Have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? How unattractive. Always be busy with something, even if for some reason you have to make something up.
Show your pearly whites (or just smile)
Smile more, no matter how ugly your teeth are. I'm not kidding about this one. It's not all about the teeth. If you are smiling genuinely, you can draw everyone for 100 meters around to you.
Wear what fits
Wear clothing that fits you. For women, wearing tight pants or shirts is not attractive. Things that just fit you and your shape are the best but not tight. Wear things that fit you nicely, please . . . And for goodness sake, both sexes, stay away from logos and printed shirts! Most people you may ask do not find this attractive. Stop being some company's billboard(廣告牌).
Be interested in other man
Be interested in the other person. Don't talk about. If you are truly interested in the person, it will come across. And if you want to talk about yourself, you'll find that putting the other person first actually opens him up to return the favor and ask you questions. See how fun this is?
小題1:It is your ________ that makes you attractive.
A.your family background
B.fashionable tight clothes
C.your appearance and your wealth
D.proper body language and behavior

A.a(chǎn)lways smile and show your pearly teeth
B.keep asking lots of questions
C.a(chǎn)re interested in other people’s personal affairs
D.a(chǎn)lways wear clothes that fit you

Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.
All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.
The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert,with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.
In recent years,there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste,resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full,lessening their desire to eat or drink.
The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste,and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.
Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier,another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.
In August,2009,a team from the University of California,San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.
小題1: How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?
A.By giving an example.
B.By listing the facts.
C.By telling a story.
D.By giving a comparison.
小題2:What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?
A.It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.
B.It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.
C.It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.
D.It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.
小題3:Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?
A.Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.
B.Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.
C.Because it may be from an island in the pacific.
D.Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.
小題4: The purpose of writing this passage is to____________.
A.warn people of the danger to travel in the pacific
B.a(chǎn)nalyze what caused the waste patch in the pacific
C.give advice on how to recycle waste in the ocean
D.introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch

When people first walked across the Bering Land Bridge thousands of years ago, dogs were by their sides, according to a study published in the journal Science.
Robert Wayne of the University of California, Los Angeles, and Jennifer Leonard of the Smithsonian Institute, used DNA material—some of it unearthed by miners in Alaska—to conclude that today’s domestic dog originated in Asia and accompanied the first humans to the New World about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. Wayne suggests that man’s best friend may have enabled the tough journey from Asia into North America. “Dogs may have been the reason people made it across the land bridge,” said Wayne. “They can pull things, carry things, defend you from fierce animals, and they’re useful to eat.”
Researchers have agreed that today’s dog is the result of the domestication(馴化) of wolves thousands of years ago. Before this recent study, a common thought about the precise origin of North America’s domestic dog was that Natives domesticated local wolves, the descendents(后代) of which now live with people in Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48.
Dog remains from a Fairbanks-area gold mine helped the scientists reach their conclusion. Leonard, an evolutionary biologist, collected DNA from 11 bones of ancient dogs that were locked in permafrost(永凍層) until Fairbanks miners uncovered them in the 1920s. The miners donated the preserved bones to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where they remained untouched for more than 70 years. After borrowing the bones from the museum, Leonard and her colleagues used radiocarbon techniques to find the age of the Alaska dogs. They found the dogs all lived between the years of 1450 and 1675 A.D., before Vitus Bering and Aleksey Chirikov who were the first known Europeans to view Alaska in 1741. The bones of dogs that wandered the Fairbanks area centuries ago should therefore be the remains of “pure native American dogs,” Leonard said. The DNA of the Fairbanks dogs would also expose whether they were the descendents of wolves from North America.
Along with the Fairbanks samples, the researchers collected DNA from bones of 37 dog specimens(標(biāo)本) from Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia that existed before the arrival of Columbus. In the case of both the Alaska dogs and the dogs from Latin America, the researchers found that they shared the most genetic material with gray wolves of Europe and Asia. This supports the idea of domestic dogs entering the New World with the first human explorers who wandered east over the land bridge.
Leonard and Wayne’s study suggests that dogs joined the first humans that made the adventure across the Bering Land Bridge to slowly populate the Americas. Wayne thinks the dogs that made the trip must have provided some excellent service to their human companions or they would not have been brought along. “Dogs must have been useful because they were expensive to keep,” Wayne said. “They didn’t feed on mice; they fed on meat, which was a very guarded resource.”
小題1: The underlined word “remains” is closed in meaning to ______.
A.leftover foodB.a(chǎn)nimal waste
C.dead bodiesD.living environment
小題2:According to the study described in Paragraph 4, we can learn that ______.
A.a(chǎn)ncient dogs entered North America between 1450 and 1675 AD
B.the 11 bones of ancient dogs are not from native American dogs
C.the bones discovered by the gold miners were from North American wolves
D.the bones studied were not from dogs brought into North America by Europeans
小題3:What can we know from the passage?
A.Native Americans domesticated local wolves into dogs.
B.Scientists discovered some ancient dog remains in 1920s.
C.Latin America’s dogs are different from North America’s in genes.
D.Ancient dogs entered North America across the Bering Land Bridge.
小題4:The first humans into the New World brought dogs along with them because ______.
A.dogs fed on miceB.dogs were easy to keep
C.dogs helped protect their resourcesD.dogs could provide excellent service
小題5:What does the passage mainly talk about ______.
A.the origin of the North American dogs
B.the DNA study of ancient dogs in America
C.the reasons why early people entered America

The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警覺(jué)). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝視) starts to lose its focus - until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?
Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects(a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同樣地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
小題1:The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s ______.
A.sense of hearing.
B.sense of sight.
C.sense of touch.
D.sense of smell.
小題2:Babies are sensitive to the change in ______.
A.the size of cards.
B.the colour of pictures.
C.the shape of patterns.
D.the number of objects.
小題3:Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?
A.To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.
B.To see how babies recognize sounds.
C.To carry their experiment further.
D.To keep the babies’ interest.
小題4:Where does this text probably come from?
A.Science fiction.
B.Children’s literature.
C.An advertisement.

It’s a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now conies the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behavior.
Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If Kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.
What is your cat’s IQ?
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time,  and can even become more or less social depending on the behavior of their owners.
“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the CATalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions. as evidenced by knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that’s been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas fife. ”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match. ”So. if you felt guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you call feel even worse:You fife making your cat fat!
There’s no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study. it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.
There’s a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes. the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private 1esson in inner meditation. ”Brant said. Sure. But cats don’t have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their in-laws. They’re probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to science。even though we assumed that cats were not close to us all these years, it turns out they fife in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
小題1:According to the passage. which of the following is NOT true?
A.Cats can copy humans’ schedule.B.Humans can learn from cats in some way.
C.Cats are smart and have fl long memory D.Green tea and Yoga can benefit cats.
小題2:What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Humans’ keeping searching the fridge.
B.Cats’ going to their owners for food.
C.Cats’ copying humans’ habit of looking for food.
D.Humans’ leaving cats home while working.
小題3:What can we learn from our cats?
A.To remain calm.B.To be able to copy. C.To stay proud.D.To look up to friends.
小題4:The best title for the passage could be ________.
A.Your Cat Can Bring You PleasureB.You Are Copying Your Cat
