阅读理解。    "Sesame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world". That is because the television program
by that name can now be seen in many parts of the world. That program became one of American exports
soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.
    In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more
than half the country"s pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial (种族的), and geographical
group.
    Although some educators object (反对) to some parts of the program, parents praise (赞扬) it highly.
Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems come out when first
graders who have learnt from "Sesame Street" are in the same class with children who have not watched the
program.
    Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited
(受益) from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional (偶尔的) viewers.
In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children
who can watch it regularly.
    The programs all use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers,
letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced
in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate (单独的) letters.
    Why has "Sesame Street" been so much more successful than other children"s shows? Many reasons have
been suggested. People mention the educational theories (理论) of its creators, the support by the government
and private businesses, and the skillful use of various TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that
mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But
the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.
The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more. 1. "Sesame Street" is actually ______. [     ]
A. a street in the US
B. a program for children
C. a program for teachers
D. a program for students 2. Children who often watch the program ______. [     ]
A. can have programs in school
B. will find it a great help
C. will take no interest in their studies
D. needn"t go to school 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true? [     ]
A. It is shown at different hours during the week.
B. Famous adult stars often appear on it.
C. This program has been on for less than forty years.
D. Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching it. 4. Why is "Sesame Street" so popular in the world? [     ]
A. Because it is supported by the government and businesses.
B. Because it uses different kinds of skillful tricks.
C. Because mothers watch it along with their children.
D. Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. 5. The best title for this passage can be ______. [     ]
A. Sesame Street
B. Educating Children
C. TV Programs
D. A Great Success

Many years before the United States was founded (建立), Americans had already invented barbecues. But the first barbecues, in fact, were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames (架子)of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues. One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, "Fair and hot; Browne; hack overset." That is, on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue, and his carriage (马车) fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner. In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit (坑) for fuels (燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today, the barbecue grills (烧烤架) which are fueled by charcoal (木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move, and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over.
1. Who invented the barbecues first in history?
[ ]
A. American people. B. Taino Indians. C. Spanish explorers. D. English settlers.
2. The second paragraph mainly tells us that the barbecue ______.
[ ]
A. is only held on a hot sunny day B. welcomes people who keep diaries C. is held both indoors and outdoors D. has its social occasion for over 200 years
3. The underlined expression "social occasion" can be best translated into ______.
[ ]
A. 社交功能 B. 社会福利 C. 社会地位 D. 社会背景
4. The following are all the barbecue ways EXCEPT ______.
[ ]
A. drying meat on raised frames of sticks over fires B. roasting a whole animal over a pit full of burning tree branches C. cooking parts of animals over fires on grills fueled by charcoal D. heating meat in the bright and hot daylight

What is your favorite color? Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johnson, and Bono (singer for the band U2), and maybe they will say "green." That"s not because these artists like the color green best. Instead, they are interested in green fashion. Green fashion is about making (and wearing) clothes that are good for humans, animals, and the Earth. In the past, green fashion made people think of ugly clothes. But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people. You can have interesting clothes and be green. Around the world, green fashion is becoming popular. For example, the U.K. company People Tree sells men"s and women"s clothing and accessories (配搭物). They are made from natural fabrics (织物) like cotton and wool. Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Kenya (肯尼亚), and Bangladesh (孟加拉国).
