(强制的) subject for its pupils.
Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of
China as the world"s fastest growing economy.
Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the
school has only a "handful" of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future.
Mr. Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said,
"One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the
21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world."
"China has replaced Britain as the world"s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this
challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation"s children are well-placed to
thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.
"A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of
the children of Brighton College."
Mr. Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow
pupils to learn their language.
In order to lead the way, Mr. Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class
as a pupil."I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show
the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects."
B. the realities of the 21st century
C. the fastest growing economy in the world
D. about a school which will make all its pupils learn Chinese
B. it realizes the importance of China as the world"s fastest growing economy
C. Chinese is the easiest language for the students

B. He thinks of it as a danger.
C. He considers it to be an opportunity.
D. He regards it as an encouragement.
B. The school is the first in England to make Chinese a compulsory subject.
C. Mr. Cairns has just been made head of this high-achieving college.

afraid they will be played jokes on by a bully. One study found that 52% of children reported being bullied
at least once a week. Sixty percent say that they know someone who could harm them. One student was
always being joked because he was short. He didn"t like to go to school because he had to face the bullies.
Some children choose not to go to school at all so they can avoid the bullies. When they miss school,
students fall behind their classmates. A new program is helping put an end to this problem. The program
is teaching kids how to deal with bullies. This is helping more children feel safe in school.
One school principal is working to end this negative behavior. Last year, he decided to let students know
bullying is not allowed there. Students are now encouraged to report bullies and stand up for themselves.
Those found to be bullies face harsh penalties (处罚). Students at his school participate in a program called
"Be Bold". In this program, students work together to prevent violence. They do skits and go into classrooms
to talk about the problem. They give other students strategies (策略) on how to deal with bullies.
The principal says that the school has changed since he has addressed the bullying problem. But there
are other steps parents can take to help their children with this problem. First, students and their parents
should know the school"s rules about bullying and what they should do if it happens. Second, children should
be taught to stand up for themselves. They should try to resolve issues by talking them out. If the problem
continues, parents and children should record each incident. Children should tell someone if they are being
joked. Many children keep bullying a secret.
Parents should look for warning signs of bullying. These can include cuts and bruises (瘀伤), worrying,
wanting to stay home from school, or a sudden drop in grades.
B. Some students didn"t go to school because they had to face the bullies.
C. Most students are being bullied at least once a week.
D. The bullies in the campus are out of control.
B. the parents" measures
C. the students" talking them out
D. harsh penalties
B. The best way to avoid the bullies is to miss school.
C. The school has taken some active measures to avoid the behavior of bully.
D. It"s not only the responsibility of school to fight with bullies.
been recycled from their urine (尿), sweat and water got from air. They said "cheers" to NASA workers
on the ground.
The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will save
NASA money because it won"t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttle or cargo rocket.
Besides, it"s important as the space station is about to expand (扩大) from three people living on board to
six.
The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November, but it couldn"t be used
until samples (样品) were tested back on earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a
big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA
centers that worked on the system.
"This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction," American astronaut Michael Barratt said
before taking a small mouthful. The taste is worth trying.
The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet and moves it to a big tank, where
the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. Then the water
vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器). When six crew members are
aboard, it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.
"Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on earth, but with
a lot longer time between urine and the tap," said Marybeth Edeen, the space station"s national lab manager.
The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification (净化)
after the 2004 Asian tsunami.
B. with it NASA won"t need to ship any water up to the space station
C. it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste

a. The samples of the recycled water were tested on earth.

cities and countries? Mountains and valleys? Maybe weather patterns? The variety of features is so great that
one map just can"t handle them all.
The earth is part of a nine planets solar system within the Milky Way galaxy. Its size and location aren"t
very impressive. We inhabit the third planet from the Sun, which is only the fifth largest overall. Yet The earth
has a talent for creating life. In fact, it"s the only place that has life so far!
One form of life humans tends to take this for granted. Human activities like habitat destruction, pollution,
and over-fishing have badly damaged life as we know it. Luckily, Earth is as tough as it is beautiful. But it
doesn"t take an expert to see that one planet can only take so much.

C. second; third

the sun was a god (神). They thought the god drove across the sky each day on a golden horse. Now we
know the earth goes round the sun. It takes the earth a year to go all way round the sun. Today men even
know how far it is for the earth to go round the sun. They tell us that the earth travels over a thousand miles
a minute on its journey round the sun.
The sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the earth and it is very hot. Some people have been to the
moon but we know that no one can ever go to the sun. It is far too hot for people to live anywhere near it.
The sun is three hundred thousand times heavier than the earth and more than million times larger.
B. a god on a golden horse
C. a god with golden dress
D. a god and a golden horse
