same independent exam -- besides the national one -- to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in
2011.
The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University,
Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.
Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent
exam, according to the joint announcement.
"This will help lighten tile students" load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities," said the announcement.
Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities.
China"s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based
on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.
In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by
using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.
Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their
own exams.
Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as
conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students" talents lie.
Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams
as they often apply for a number of universities.
To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010--2020) released in July
this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.
1. If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities , they can ______.
A. only pass the interview.B. only take the national exam.
C. only take the independent exam.
D. either take the national exam or the take the independent exam.
2. What"s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities ?
A. It can reduce students" load to take several exams.
B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.
C. There will be less trouble marking students" test papers.
D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.
3. If students pass the independent exam , they will ______.
A. take the national exam.B. have one or more interview chances.
C. be admitted to one of the universities.
D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.
4. What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?
A. Students needn"t take the national exam.B. Students" education cost can be lowered.
C. Students abilities and talents can be better found.
D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.
the world, according to an annual taxi poll (民意调查).
The survey by travel website hotels.com found London taxis, despite being the most expensive,
beat others across the globe to head the list for the third consecutive (连续的) years, scoring a total of
59 percent in votes on several categories by travelers.
London taxi drivers were voted both friendly and most knowledgeable, Drivers in the English capital
must pass an examination called The Knowledge to earn their taxi license.
New York"s yellow taxis came second in the list, scoring 27 percent which was up 10 percentage
points from last year even though Manhattan"s cab drivers were tied with Parisian taxi drivers as the rudest. Travelers said New York had the most available taxis.
Cabbies in Rome were voted the worst drivers in the world with almost one in 10 travelers thinking
the Italian capital had the world"s worst taxi drivers when it came to the quality of driving.

fact, the research found that cabs are by far the most popular method of traveling from the airport
to their hotel." a spokesman for hotels.com said in a statement.

Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban
and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to
discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are
doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I
have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did
poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be
given a second chance.
And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a
huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in
school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how
to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the
parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not
doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect
recipe for greater achievement gaps.
I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years.
What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can"t make that horse drink. You can"t
force kids to change bad habits over night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can pass
a class.
1. The seventh grade team leader in the author"s school called a meeting to ________.
A. analyse the reason for the huge achievement gap between students

D. if he comes from a suburban area
3. In the last paragraph, the author intends to tell us that ________.
A. a student can make improvement only when he is willing to

Beijing - The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy’s proposal to extend the
Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
More than 78 percent of about 27,600 respondents to a poll on www.people.com.cn <http://www.
/> voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing, who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west
China"s Sichuan province. Li said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions,
especially fog the nation"s 220 million migrant workers.
With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span,the holiday puts great
stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism, he added. He suggested the ho1iday be
extended and cover the three adjacent (毗连的) weekends, which means the public could take a total
of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival,which falls on the 15th day of the
lunar new year, with their families.
People would then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the traditional holiday with their families, Li said
during an interview with People"s Daily Online on Friday.
Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday will ease the burden on public transport and
strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than
the National Day holiday," one responder said in an online post. "Every year, I wish I could spend
more time at home for the Spring Festival, but I always have to go back to work. I hope the NPC will
approve this proposal.
" Another online comment read: "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent the annual
transportation crush, which has in recent years resembled an exodus (出走) of fleeing refugees (难民)"".
Most of the about 13 percent who opposed the idea citied difficulties readjusting to work after the
break. Some pointed out that office moral (士气) was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After thesix-day holiday, many people come back to work feeling absent-minded," one respondent said. Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
Another 10 percent said lawmakers should carefully study the impacts before they make any decisions
on holidays.
B. People could spend more money and this could promote consumption.
C. The lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions.
D. The holiday puts great stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism
B. The holiday would be from the first day of the lunar year.
C. He added the Lantern Festival as an independent official holiday.
D. The public could take a total of 16 days off including the Lantern Festival.
B. a drink made by pressing fruit and used as juice
C. a traffic accident resulting from traveling too fast
D. people"s eagerness to go home to meet their families
B. people would not earn much money.
C. It would have a bad effect on China"s economy.
D. people wouldn"t be in a good working stag after so long a holiday.
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged(持续很久的)periods—even if you also
exercise regularly—could be bad for your health. And it doesn"t matter where the sitting takes place—at
the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV— just the overall number of hours it occurs.
Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart
attack or even die.
In an editorial published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of
the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define
physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum (最少的) amounts of physical
activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained
that genes regulating (调节) the amount of glucose (葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.
Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim
Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every
day—but still spend a lot of time sitting—might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the
day, rather than in a single bout (一回).
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years,
researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or not they exercised.
"We don"t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad," said Peter Katzmarzyk of the
Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, who led the Canadian study. "But it seems the
more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary (坐着的) behavior, the better."
Figures from a U.S. survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting,
from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might
be possible to offset those effects.
"People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits," Ekblom-Bak said. "But when
they"re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible," she said.
B. How To Avoid Sitting Too Much
C. Not Sitting Too Much While Working
D. More And More People Sit Too Much
B. those who often sit too much are sure to grow fat or suffer from a heart attack
C. you had better not sit for more than four hours in a single bout
D. regular exercise is effective to get rid of the side effect of sitting too much
B. It increases glucose and fat in the body.
C. It causes the genes to fail to balance the glucose and fat in the body.
D. It makes a person unable to exercise long enough in a day.
B. achieve
C. ignore
D. avoid
