Counselors play a steadying role in schools as the economy weighs on families, college admission becomes even more competitive, immigration continues to reshape the population and state-testing pressures many students. They use computers to search through attendance data, grades and standardized test scores for kids who might need extra help.
Schlatter, director of guidance and counseling at Prince William County’s Woodbridge Senior High School, has checked attendance records against grades and test results to start peer groups (同年龄群体) for students who are failing classes but not skipping them. She said group counseling is another way to reach more students though it can be difficult. “Kids really do start helping and sharing with each other.”
At Fairfax High School, counselors found through surveys that students who transferred (转学) to the school after ninth grade enjoyed school significantly less than those who had been there all four years. The counseling staff set up a special program and group for new arrivals in response, said Marcy Miller, the school’s director of student services. Counseling staff members also have started small study groups for students to prepare for state Standards of Learning exams, which Miller said have helped raise test scores. She said that some of the newest counselors have had some of the freshest ideas.

The financial climate, the job market, family tensions, Obama moving into the Lincoln bedroom. Even the climate"s getting in on the list. Yup, change is everywhere in 2009. If you"re not careful, all kinds of strange things might happen in your otherwise ordered life, so it"s best to work at avoiding change whenever it rears its head(出现).
Here are 5 ways to do just that:
| 1．Ignore any opportunities How many times have you taken a chance, only for things to go wrong? How many times have you seized an opportunity only/"or it to slip between your fingers? There"s always another mess waiting for you, so it"s better to stay right where you are. Where you are right now is a known quantity－it"s safe, warm and comfortable. Doesn"t that sound better than going out there, messing up and looking stupid? |
| 2．Set your expectations low If you"re one of the people out there looking to make a change in 2009 rather than having change made for you, you"d better set your expectations low. |
| 3．Keep on running and don"t look back The best thing to do is to set things out so that you can do everything. It"s good to be busy and running around after everyone else will mean that everyone"s happy and there"s no room for change to happen. It"s a win－win! |
4．Recognize that most changes are too big Face it; there are some tasks you"re just not up to. Landing that exciting new job, getting a promotion, taking on the "big project" or building a relationship that really works－these are all big challenges and you don"t want to bite off more than you can chew. |
| 5．Ignore that little voice inside You might sometimes hear a little voice in your head that tells you you"re not happy or that something has to change. This little trouble maker can speak up at any time and throw the Spanner of Confusion in the works, and it has only one thing on its mind－to take you out of your comfort zone and make you change. |
49．The purpose of writing this passage is_________.
A．to introduce ways to avoid change in 2009
B．to attract the readers" interest in change in 2009
C．to discuss whether people should change in 2009
D．to tell the readers the news of American New President－Obama
50．Supposing you are safe, warm and comfortable now, you should______.
A．set your expectations low B．ignore any opportunities
C．keep on running and don"t look back D．ignore that little voice inside
51．The underlined sentence "You don"t want to bite off more than you can chew" implies .
A．you have big challenges to fight
B．you are too small to eat too much food
C．there are some big challenges you can"t fight
D．you are afraid of challenging some difficult tasks
52．The best way of dealing with that little voice inside is_______ .
A．to change something at once
B．to have a chat with the speaker
C．to discuss it with the trouble maker
D．to ignore it and go on with what you are doing
D
We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.
Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them－a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill－respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well－ respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and tile bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school"s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.
The opponents(反对者) of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.
53．The underlined word "favoritism" in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that_____.
A．bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs
B．children from well－respected schools tend to have good jobs
C．poor children with certificates are favored in job markets
D．children attending ordinary schools achieve great success
54．What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?
A．There would be more opportunities and excellence.
B．Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.
C．Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.
D．Children"s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.
55．The opponents of the examination system will agree that ________.
A．jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection
B．computers should be selected to take over many jobs
C．special classes are necessary to keep the school standards
D．schools with academic subjects should be done away with
56．The passage mainly focuses on________.
A．schools and certificates B．examination and equality
C．opportunity and employment D．standards and reputation
In Europe
Population problems are different in different parts of the world. For example, in many European countries the population is getting older. The birth rate is very low because many young people have only one child or none at all. People are living longer, too. On average, men tire to 76 and women to 78. By 2050 around 25 % of the population of some European countries will be over 60 years old.
This change has happened very fast within two generations. If governments had expected this change, they would have encouraged people to prepare more for old age. At the moment many old people are very lonely and often very poor. If people had expected to live so long, they would probably have saved more money for their retirement.
In Africa
In Africa, the problems of the future will be very different. There, the population is doubling every 24 years. Many families continue to have large numbers of children to look after older people and to help on the land. However, better medical services have increased life expectancy and more children survive to become adults. Research shows that the size of the family is connected with the standard of women’s education. If more girls had gone to school in the last 20 years, family size in Africa would probably not have continued to be so big.
In Asia
In contrast, the problem in Asia is not just population growth but also overcrowding in many cities. Traditionally, most people have lived in the countryside, but within the next 25 years more than 65% will live in cities. If Asian countries had expected this kind of change 20 years ago, they would have tried to provide more work and better education in the countryside. This is starting to happen now, but it may be too late.
56. What is the cause of African population problem?
A. Low birth rate and increased life expectancy. B. More older people, more children.
C. People’s moving from the countryside to the cities.
D. Better medical services and increased life expectancy.
57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In Europe it is normal to live to be 76 or more.
B. Medicine has changed population patterns.
C. Population problems are the same everywhere.
D. Many old people in Europe experience poverty.
58. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Cities everywhere are becoming larger and larger.
B. Asian countries have tried to provide more work for people.
C. A lot of girls couldn’t go to school in Africa.
D. The older people in Europe are, the lonelier they will be.

Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry going into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo.One of the questions that is always asked of me is 36 I became an animal collector in the first 37 .The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say 38 was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”, 39 the word “zoo”, which I would 40 over and over again with a shrill 41 until someone, in order to 42 me up, would take me to the zoo.When I 43 a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great 44 of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time 45 the countryside in search of fresh samples to 46 my collection of pets. 47 I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student 48 , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches, 49 were not easy to keep at home.When I left, I 50 had enough money of my own to be able to 51 my first trip and I have been going 52 ever since then .Though a collector"s job is not an easy one and is full of 53 ,it is certainly a job which will appeal 54 all those who love animals and 55 .
