Renaissance Reading:
The Accelerated Reader (AR) Program is a computerized reading enrichment program that combines
great children"s literature with computer skills. As an individualized reading program, it is designed to
motivate students to read more and to read good literature. Students of different abilities can use this
program. It is not a competitive program but one that improves any student"s reading ability.
Here is how it works. Students select books in their reading range from our Accelerated Reader
Selection and read it at their own pace. Once the student has completed the book, he/she is ready to
take an AR quiz. Each quiz consists of 5, 10, or 20 multiple choice comprehensive questions about
the book.
After taking the quiz, the computer shows the student how many questions he/she answered
correctly, shows the correct answers for missed questions, and praises the students" efforts with an
onscreen personalized message. Passing the quiz assures the teacher and the parent that the child
actually read and understood the book. Each student tests independently-reading the quiz questions
himself/herself.
The computer keeps track of reading points, books, and average test scores, as well as other
data. A student may test on a book only once and should, therefore, have thoroughly read and
understood the contents before taking the quiz. Each student is responsible for reading the screen
to be sure the quiz, by title and author, is the correct one he/she wishes to take.
Students are recognized for their accomplishments with praise from the teachers and special
recognition at the classroom level when individual and/or classroom goals are met.

where and how one entertains. In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite
people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes.
However, in some societies the home is considered too personal, unworthy, or too small to serve as
a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a "help yourself" method of
entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture
teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. For example, a Chinese
guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to
take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to
cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she
was not serving quickly enough.
As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular
interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the
"hometown" gift you are bringing to Singapore is not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry
symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts.
The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with
legal department in the home and host culture.

D. entertainment is not advisable

C. a slow service
D. cream and sugar
B. Large payment as a gift
C. A small gift from one"s home
D. A gift form Singapore
America were building with adobe-sunbaked brick plastered with mud. Their homes
looked remarkably like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained
quarters for perhaps thousand people, along with store rooms for grain and other goods.
These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for
defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers
must have realized since they called them "pueblos", which is Spanish for town.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called "the three sisters"-corn, beans, and
squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they
could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The
Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation
ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed
elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of lesssettled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature.
Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between
the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals
such as rabbits and snakes.In the Far North the ancestors of today"s Inuit hunted seals,
walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos
built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the
lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the
grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bison
commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was
used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tipis.

interesting landmarks. They"ve kept the World"s Largest Rocking Chair, in Mississippi, from wearing out.
They"ve repaired the National Civil Rights Museum, in Memphis, Tennessee. They"ve even helped to
restore(整修) the Birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae, in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Now, ten years later, Save-A-Landmark is celebrating its 10th anniversary(周年纪念日) by saving
President Abraham Lincoln"s Cottage, in Washington, D.C. President Lincoln"s Cottage is the first
Save-A-Landmark site to be located(位于) in the nation"s capital. About 50 volunteers joined in the
event, which took place on September 16.
One of those volunteers was actor Sam Waterston, of NBC"s Law& Order. Waterston has acted
Lincoln on stage and on screen. Even though he has become an expert on the nation"s 16th president,
Waterston says he still couldn"t believe how amazing Lincoln"s Cottage was.
"This home is truly one of the better kept secrets about the man," Waterston told TFK. "He spent a
quarter of his presidency(1861-1865) here, and he worked on the Emancipation Proclamation here.
Even though it was like a summer home, he did a lot of important work here. It"s a great place for kids
to learn more about Lincoln"s life."
Hampton Hotels created Save-A-Landmark in April 2000. Judy Christa-Cathey is a manager for the
hotel chain. She was especially excited about the Lincoln"s Cottage project. "I grew up in Illinois, the

remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life
in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It_takes_a_sharp
_ear_to_identify_regional_accents.
However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people.
Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fastpaced cities along the coast and has little more
than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but
the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country"s youth. In contrast, the
rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to
have "ridden on the sheep"s back", a reference to wool being the country"s main moneyearner.
However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia"s relatively sound economy
is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the
world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians
are generally friendly and relaxed, with a selfdeprecating sense of humour. On the whole, Australia is
a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner
beginnings.
Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only
one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants.
Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from
elsewhere. Australia"s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from wartorn
Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from
Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a "blend of nations" and although some racism exists, it has
generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most
harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
1. What does the writer mean by saying "It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents." in the first
paragraph?
A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.
B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.
C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.
D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.
B. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.
C. The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.
D. The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.
3.The underlined pronoun "it" in the final paragraph refers to "________".
A. community
B. racism
C. blend of nations
D. Southeast Asia
4. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. there are no signs of Australia"s colonial past in its modern cities
B. Australia"s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia
C. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems
D. "riding on sheep"s back" resulted in slow development in rural communities
5. This passage mainly focuses on Australia"s ________.
A. society
B. economy
C. racial problems
D. history
