While many teenagers may dream of meeting with pop star Jay Chou or NBA hero Yao Ming, Li Jing
had a far more powerful person on her mind. The Senior 2 from Beijing No.35 High School dreamt of
meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After more than a year of hard work and with a little good luck, Li fulfilled her dream. On October
11, 2004, the 16-year-old girl joined a team of Chinese journalists who went to the Kremlin, in Moscow,
to interview Putin.
Li felt nervous before talking with Putin. "But his greeting and warm smile put me at ease," she said.
Li admires Putin very much, because of his strong will and style of leadership. "He looks very cool,"
Li said. During her interview, Li asked Putin whether he plans to educate his two teenage daughters to be
officials in the future. Putin smiled and answered he hopes they can do whatever job suits their interests
and personalities.
Although Li would only have several minutes, she started working on her interview questions last
August after applying for the opportunity. "Journalists work is by no means easy. You need to do lots
of homework on your interviewee," she said. She read many books about Putin and Russia in her spare
time.?
Li"s parents encouraged her to be a student journalist. "We fully support her, as long as it does not
affect her studies," said her father. Previously in her job for a student magazine, Chinese Young
Journalists, she wrote a letter to President Hu Jintao during the SARS epidemic.
Li has learnt a lot from her experience. She said learning to manage her time and developing the

| 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. More than one million children in the United States do not go to school. Instead, they learn at home. They are taught by adults, like tutors (家庭教师). 1 Educational companies, libraries, and the Internet provide many families with teaching material. 2 Some choose it because of their religious beliefs. Others say it provides more time for the family to be together. They say home offers a better place for learning. Some parents believe home-schooling avoids problems of traditional schools. These include classes that have too many students. Critics, however, say children need to attend school with other children. They also say that some home-schooled children do not get a good education. 3 Some states(州) do not require much preparation made by parents or testing of children. Other states have more requirements for home-schooling. Home-schooling in the United States began when the country was established. In farm areas, people often lived far from a school. Widespread home-schooling took place until about the middle of the 19th century. Then, in 1852, the state of Massachusetts passed the first law requiring children to attend school. Over the years, the American public education system strengthened and grew. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, some Americans believed that traditional education was not helping their child  ren. 4 Home-schooling expert Linda Dobson says many people have helped the movement grow. She says some parents began teaching their children at home after changes in tax laws forced some private religious schools to close. That happened in the  1980s. And, most recently, she says many kinds of people havejoined the movement. 5 They represent many races, religions and political beliefs. Ms. Dobson says the number of home-schooled children has increased by an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year during the last fifteen years. A. So a number of parents began home-schooling. B. They are mainly rich people. C. However, all fifty American states and the District of Columbia permit home-schooling. D. She says these include rich people and poor people. D. Home-schooling is not accepted by all the people. E. Parents choose home-schooling for several reasons. F. Most often, their parents are their teachers. |
A Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or sleep restfully. It is a problem to nearly everyone at some time .A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then , next morning, feel that he hardly sleep all night Normally, worry about not getting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia. If insomnia is recurrent, however, it is important to find its causes and try to correct them, with the help of a doctor if necessary. Any of a large number of simple factors may take it difficult for someone to fall asleep or remain asleep. His matters may be too soft or too hard. If there are too many blankets on a hot night, he may be too warm; if the bedclothes are too light he may feel cold during the night. If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, this may cause difficulty in sleeping. Eating shortly before going to bed also be responsible for insomnia. Stimulating drinks, such as tea or coffee, can also keep people awake. Inability to fall asleep is sometimes a symptom of emotional or mental disorders. Insomnia may also be caused by pain and, very rarely, it can be a symptom of a physical disease. The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct. The sufferer should check the mattress, bedclothes and bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes. An eye mask keeps out the night and ear-plugs shut out sound. He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime, perhaps by reading a book; watching TV, or taking a warm bath. If he wakes during the night he should try turning on the light and reading for a while. Taking warm milk and a biscuit or two may be helpful. Above all, he should try not to worry about sleeplessness when someone is tied enough he nearly always falls asleep. If necessary, a doctor may prescribe tranquillizers or sleeping pills. Take only the dosage he prescribes; any more is dangerous. 1. According to the writer, insomnia is ______.

B Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now，one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it，say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星)that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don"t threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one，the scientists say，we"ll have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn"t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500，000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall，it would be the end of the world. “If we don"t take care of these big asteroids，they"ll take care of us，”says one scientist. “It"s that simple.” The cure，though，might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them，” said a New York Times article. 1. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? [ A ]. They are heavenly bodies different in composition. [ B ].They are heavenly bodies similar in nature. [ C ].There are more asteroids than meteoroids. [ D ].Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids. 2. We can conclude from the passage that_____ . [ A ].while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world [ B ].asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future [ C ].the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime [ D ].workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth. 3. Which of the following best describes the author"s tone in this pass age? [ A ]. Optimistic. [ B ]. Critical. [ C ]. Objective. [ D ]. Arbitrary. |
