【題目】 Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3,000 independent public schools called charter schools.

Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.

Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. Local，state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.

Governments strongly support charter schools as a way to reorganize public schools that are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One teachers' union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.

The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study，which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse in math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.

Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand more student progress.

A．try new methods of teaching

A．they make greater progress

D．they oppose traditional ways

【3】What's the governments' attitude toward charter schools?

B．Supportive.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．More students choose to attend charter schools.

B．Charter schools are better than traditional schools.

C．Students in charter schools are well educated.

D．People have different opinions about charter schools.

【5】It can be inferred from the text that ________.

【1】 Half a minute? A few seconds?

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds-as short as the blink of an eye-is too long for most Internet users.

A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.

Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. 【2】 you can get digital "traffic jams". Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.

Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website ,then people will visit it less often. 【3】 Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example ,a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.

Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes “difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.

Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.

In the 1990s,when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, 【4】 people called it the "World Wide Wait". But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions , they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.

Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet ._ 【5】 But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of internet users.

A. internet is becoming faster and faster.

B. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations,

C. Major search engines such as Google and Microsoft's Bing usually find search results in less than a second.

D. We can not expect a faster speed about the internet.

E. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.

F. How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience?

G it was very crowded and slow;

【題目】Once there lived a rich man 【1】 wanted to do something for the people of his town. 【2】 first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.

In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed 【3】 very large stone. Then he 【4】 (hide ) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.

“Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. 【5】 man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove 【6】 . Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone, 【7】 (say) to himself: “The night 【8】 (be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”

Then he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his 【9】 (strong) to move it. How great was his surprise at last! 【10】 the stone, he found a bag of money.

【題目】 Just 25 years ago，the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher，banker and doctor. Now，they want to be sports star，pop star and actor，according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper.

Rachel，a character in the popular TV show Glee，may be said to speak for British teenagers. “Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor，” he said.

Emma Brockes，a reporter from Guardian，believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture” that is to blame. “When children wanted to be doctor，it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now；you go where the respect is，”she wrote.

It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr. Carlo Strenger，of Tel Aviv University，studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance：Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told Daily Mail that young people now are affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(癡迷)．

“As humans，we naturally measure ourselves against those around us，but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important’ people in the world and finding ourselves wanting，” he said. Today，even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.

The way out？Simply stop measuring your achievements through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr. Strenger said that it is a process called “active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life”．

“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievements，” he said.

【1】Nowadays，young people in Britain want to ________.

A．choose jobs based on interests

B．become famous

C．be teacher，banker or doctor

D．earn more money

【2】According to Emma Brockes，what causes the increasing level of anxiety?

A．The choice of future career.

B．The access to the global network.

C．The bad influence of celebrities.

D．The endless comparison with others.

【3】Which of the following is true of Dr. Carlo Strenger?

A．He is a newspaper reporter.

B．He is a spokesman of teenagers.

C．He tells success stories on TV.

D．He is against ranking people by wealth.

【4】Dr. Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should ______.

A．seek active self-acceptance

B．stick to their own dreams

C．make great achievements

D．search for the secret of wealth

【5】The text is mainly written to ________.
