举一反三

Every time an election rolls around,people want to know what each candidate’s stance(立场)is on the issue that are important to them.In deciding which candidate 1 want to vote for, there are two main issues for me:the economy and education.
These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now.The economy affects everyone,and education is important because t am about to enter college. When I looked at how each candidate views these issues,one man stood out to me,and that is Demoeratic candidate Barack Obama.
I like a11 of Senator Obama’s ideas for improving the economy.He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq,thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month.Anotller point that Obama makes is that the United States’current energy policy is hurting the econmny.He believes thal if new energy bills are passed,it will help tile U.S.  get out of its currenr economic slump,and I agree.With these ideas and strategies,I slrongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy.
Obama also has a plan to improve education.He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age.He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students,which means improving schools that need help.He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals,but in exchange he calls for higher responsibility.
Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable.He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a”B”average during high school.And he plans to give a $4,000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year·I belleve these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students.
Therefore,there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote:Barack Obama.

A.care more about the education in the U.S.

To discover whether bees can see colors, the following experiment is set up. A table is put in a garden and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard (硬纸板) with a drop of syrup (糖浆) on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive (蜂窝) and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have discovered. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right. These new card have no syrup on them. Thus, the blue card is on the left, the red card on the right, and there is nothing where the first blue feeding-card used to be.

Last year I had a wonderful experience. I went on a student exchange to Japan. It was an exciting time of my life and I       learned many things about the school system in Japan. I was in Grade 11, which is second year of high school in Japan, but I was younger than most of my classmates. That’s because Japanese children enter first year of elementary school (小学) in April following their sixth birthday. I started school when I was still five years old.
In Japan, Children attend elementary school for six years, where they study Japanese, arithmetic, science, social studies, music, crafts, physical education, and home economics (simple cooking and sewing skills). During their three years in middle school, English is added to this list. Most schools have access to computers and the Internet.
The classes in my school seemed rather big to me, around 30 students in a typical high school class. We ate lunch in the classroom, instead of a cafeteria and enjoyed a healthy, nutritious meal prepared by the school or by a local “school lunch centre” instead of eating the same, dry sandwiches every day. I really like the Japanese interpretation of school lunches. I also enjoyed the field trips and activities. At Japanese schools, there are many school events during the year, such as field day when students compete in tug-of-war, field trips, and arts and cultural festivals.
小题1:The writer went to Japan _____ last year.
A.to visit his family memebersB.to finish his high school there
C.to study as an exchange studentD.to do research on school system in Japan
小题2:Children in Japan may start their elementary school at the age of ____.
A.5B.6C.7D.11
小题3:Japanese students start to learn English _____.
A. before they start their school yearB.when they are in elementary school
C.when they are in middle schoolD.when they are in high school
小题4:In the writer’s country, there are normally _____ students in a high school class.
A.less than 30B.exactly 30C.more than 30D.Not certain
小题5: In the writer’s country, students probably _____.
A.have lunch in the classroomB.have different lunch every day
C.have lunch at homeD.have sandwiches for lunch
