the district"s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then,
during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.
By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.
"Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student,
announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.
The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students
are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.
They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard
and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.
Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program
at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.
Not that it was easy. Chevalier"s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling
coffee? What about sugar content?
Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat
milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.
The whole school has joined in to help.
Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop
on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.
[ ]
B. A special educational program.
C. Government support for schools.
D. A new type of teacher-student relationship.

Thursday.
The Academy cited Le Clezio as "author of new departures and poetic adventure, explorer of humanity
beyond civilization."
Le Clezio, 48, received much attention with his first novel The Interrogation in 1963 and made the
breakthrough as a novelist with Desert in 1980, for which he was rewarded a prize from the French
Academy.
This novel Dserte contains magnificent images of a lost culture in the North African desert, contrast
with a description of Europe seen through the eyes of unwanted immigrants, the Swedish Academy said
in the statement.
The emphasis in Le Clezio"s work has increasingly moved in the direction of an exploration of the
world of childhood and of his own family history, the academy added.
Le Clezio was born 1940 in Nice of France, but both parents had strong family connections with the
former French colony Mauritius. At the age of eight, he moved to Nigeria with his family. During the
month-long voyage to Nigeria, he began his literary career with two books Un long voyage and Oradi noir.
He has taught at universities in Bangkok, Mexico City, Boston, Austin and Albuquerque among other
places. Since the 1990s, Le Clezio and his wife share their time between Albuquerque in New Mexico, the
island of Mauritius and Nice.
This was the fourth of the prestigious Nobel Prizes handed out this year, with awards in chemistry,
physics and medicine made in the past three days.
The Nobel Prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who "conferred (给予) the greatest
benefit on mankind during the preceding year."
The annual Nobel Prizes are usually announced in October and are handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary
of the 1896 death of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and the inventor of dynamite.

The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other
teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed
something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as A 7. They were not the state prize
winner; Woburn High had won. "No one would have known," said Woburn"s instructor, Bob Doran. For
Rota, it wasn"t a difficult decision:"The prize wasn"t ours to take."
Coin Stars
"College students are lazy, but they also want to help," says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana
Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing
out cups to first-year students to keep in their homes. Her "Change for Change" effort has collected $40,000
for charities, which were decided upon by students.
Never Forgotten

a question immediately came into my mind: Would A Simple Noodle Story be directed by the good Zhang
Yimou or the bad Zhang Yimou? The answer:neither.
Starting with his first time as a cinema-photographer on Yellow Earth right after graduating from film
school in the early 80s, everything Zhang shot was inspiring. In the late 80s and early 90s, he directed
several movies already considered classics, including the banned (禁止) To Live.
A Simple Noodle Story is set in the late Ming Dynasty (1368~1644), follows several amusing characters
working in a restaurant in the faraway, but naturally beautiful, western province of Gansu. Zhang brought
together a group of popular comedic (喜剧的) actors led by Xiao Shenyang, who shot to fame earlier last
year because of his very funny styles. Xiao Shenyang"s character, Li Si, is having an affair with his boss"s
wife, who is simply called "Boss" Wife" throughout the movie.
A Simple Noodle Story, which started national screening Friday, is already bringing in money, scoring
a total box office income of 67.1 million yuan? ($9.83 million) by Sunday morning and is expecting its first
weekend to reach 100 million yuan ($14.65 million).
In spite of the box office success, the film has received mixed reviews. Most local media admitted Zhang"s
success in entertaining the public, but writer Han Han wrote in his blog that A Simple Noodle Story is more
like a long-drawn-out TV comedy and that Zhang has made no improvement in directing since his first film.
In his defense, Zhang said that he was just trying to have fun with the film. "I"m not a master of artistic
films. I am just trying to make a fun movie."
B. Politics
C. Entertainment
D. Economy
B. Good Zhang Yimou or Bad Zhang Yimou?
C. A Simple Noodle Story
D. Zhang Yimou with His New Movie Has Come Again
B. 票房成绩
C. 影院包厢
D. 影院办公室

C. A classic film
D. A comedic film.

hunting for jobs.
Sichuan University has done something special to help its graduates. One morning last month, a lady
stopped her Porsche (保时捷豪华跑车) in front of the students" canteen (食堂). She stepped out of her
expensive car and began to polish shoes for the students who were passing by. Later it was discovered that
she was a special lecturer who had been invited to talk to students on career development.
Li Hui, 42, started from scratch (白手起家) in 1998 and has expanded her shoe-polishing service from
a single one-person stand on a street to a chain of 2,000 stands that operate in supermarkets, hotels and office
buildings.
Li Hui said, "Apart from the existing and advertised job opportunities, there are plenty of other ways that
people can try to make money. There is nothing ignoble if you are doing an off-line business on your own,
such as car washing, house cleaning, shoe polishing, etc."
It is to be hoped that such a successful grassroots woman as Li Hui will give the coming rush of job
hunters an insight into the job market in another way.
