Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT com??pany fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in Chi??na. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift—the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”

The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Mo??tors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.

Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood—our jobs, the Industries we work in, relationships and love as well.  

With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face more changes and cha??llenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?

whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely, Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.

Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign com??panies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”

“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.            

The whole passage is about _______.

A. people’s opinions about a bestseller of the US

B. what people think about China’s entry into the WTO

C. the change in people’s attitude towards changes and challenges

D. how a book influences the Chinese

A. be more competitive with foreign firms

The word “cheese” in the passage can refer to _______.

A. something we depend on for a living

B. a most important kind of food

C. change or challenge

D. way of life

From what Hengwei and Professor Zhang Yang said, we can know that _______.

As the US wakes up to China’s rising status (地位) as an economic and strategic competitor, US parents are urging their children to learn Chinese, reports Julian Borger.

    The US is being swept by a rush to learn Mandarin (普通話) -- from wealthy New York mothers hiring Chinese nannies (保姆) for their small children to a defence department education project in Oregon.

    The forces driving Mandarin’s momentum (勢(shì)頭) are parental ambition for children facing a future in which China is almost certain to be a major player, and the government is worried about that America may get left behind in that new world.

    The bottleneck is the supply of teachers. Mandarin instructors are difficult to import and difficult to train. There are visa problems in bringing over teachers from China but the biggest barrier is cultural. Teaching in Asia is generally done by rote and the change to western, interactive styles of instruction can be a large leap（跳越）.

    On the other hand, it requires enormous firmness for westerners to learn a language like Chinese, with its thousands of written characters. According to the Asia Society in New York, all of America’s teacher-training institutions turn out only a couple of dozen homegrown Mandarin teachers.

One way to ease the shortage is to find native Mandarin speakers and use fast-track methods to train them. However, the majority of Chinese-Americans grew up speaking Cantonese, the dialect（方言）spoken in Hong Kong, where their parents came from. Many are themselves signing on as Mandarin students at the private language schools springing up on the west coast.

In our school we always find that some students dressed in Nikes, enjoying McDonald’s and crazy about NBA games. Lily, a Senior Three girl, her life is flooded with product from the USA, is one of them. When asking about her feelings towards the Western superpower, she is not surely. Lily is not the only one that feels confusing.

A resent survey show that four in five Chinese students generally like Americans, but three in five agree with that the US is trying to control China. According to the survey, nearly half the respondents chose the US as a friend country. The positive opinion of the US is more than it in last year’s similar survey.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：陜西省2010屆高考下學(xué)期第九次模擬考試試卷（英語(yǔ)） 題型：閱讀理解

In nineteen ninety-nine, twelve percent of public elementary schools in the United States required students to wear uniforms. Just three years later, estimates were almost double that.

A study of six big-city Ohio public schools showed students who were required to wear uniforms had improved graduation, behavior and attendance rates. Academic performance was unchanged.

Some middle and high schools in Texas have also joined the movement. Yet studies find mixed results from requiring uniforms. And some schools have turned away from such policies.

Supporters believe dressing the same creates a better learning environment and safer schools. The school district in Long Beach, California, was the first in the country to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools. The example helped build national interest in uniforms as a way to deal with school violence and improve learning.

Findings in Long Beach suggested that the policy resulted in fewer behavior problems and better attendance. But researcher Viktoria Stamison, who has looked at those findings, says they were based only on opinions about the effects of uniforms.

She says other steps taken at the same time to improve schools in Long Beach and statewide could have influenced the findings. The district increased punishments for misbehavior. And California passed a law to reduce class sizes.

In Florida, for example, researcher Sharon Pate found that uniforms seemed to improve behavior and reduce violence. In Texas, Eloise Hughes found fewer discipline problems among students required to wear uniforms, but no effect on attendance.

Sociologist David Brunsma has studied school uniform policies since nineteen ninety-eight. He collected the reports in the book. In his own study, he found that reading and mathematics performance dropped after a school in rural Pennsylvania required uniforms.

Political and community pressures may persuade schools to go to uniforms to improve learning. But David Brunsma and others believe there is not enough evidence of a direct relationship. In fact, he says requiring uniforms may even increase discipline problems.

52. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. More and more students are required to wear uniforms in the US.

B. Wearing uniforms contributes to good academic performance.

C. Researchers in the US argue for school uniform policies.

D. Evidence for school uniform policies in the US is seen as weak.

53. Which was/were the first in the US to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools?

A. Six big-city Ohio public schools.

B. The school district in Long Beach, California.

C. Some middle and high schools in Texas.

D. Some elementary and middle schools in Florida.

54. Which of the following researchers are NOT supporters of school uniform policies?

A. Viktoria Stamison and Sharon Pate.  

B. Sharon Pate and David Brunsma.

C. Eloise Hughes and Sharon Pate.  

D. Viktoria Stamison and David Brunsma.

55. The underlined word “misbehavior” in the sixth paragraph probably means ______.

A. serious crime            B. bad performance

C. absence for class       D. action against wearing uniforms

56. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. more work is needed to get better information about uniform’s effect

B. the number of schools requiring uniforms in the US will decline sharply

C. wearing uniforms has little to do with behavior and learning

D. politicians and communities won’t vote for uniform policies
