or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver"s education. However, unlike other
courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations, and driving time to
practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text
to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a driver"s license.
Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting
steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required
to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups
of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets
half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three
students sit in the back.
After the student has passed the driver"s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this
age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated (指
定的) state office to take their driver"s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a
road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver"s license. If the person did well in
his or her driver"s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver"s license.

people. Now,a global survey has brought it to the notice of the rest of the world.
The survey covering 21 countries, conducted by International Educational Progress Evaluation
Organization, showed Chinese students excelled at math, beating their peers from other countries. But when
it came to using their imagination, they were tied for the last place. And in creativity, they were fifth from
the bottom.
The survey results are not shocking, given the way our children are taught in schools and at home. But
they are a severe reminder to our educators and parents to improve their ways.
Chinese students rarely get the time or chance to use their imagination. Right from the day they enter
school they are pushed into a culture of exams and more exams.
Teachers and parents teach them that education is all about passing these exams with flying colors. And
to pass those exams, they are made to learn by fixed standard answers. Teachers dare not encourage students
to think outside the box. Teachers don"t like students questioning them, killing the curiosity of the young
minds. For children, there"s hardly any room for bright ideas either in class or at home.
Israel shares the values of education with China. But there is a world of difference between the way Israeli
parents treat their children and we do. Israeli parents do not mollycoddle their children. Instead, they
encourage them to learn how to live independently. In contrast, Chinese parents go to extremes, allowing their
children to do whatever they like to do and punishing them severely the next for committing a "mistake".
The global study should make us swing into action and help our students to throw open their young minds
to imagination and creativity. It is time our education officials and educators asked themselves what they
should do to let our children"s imagination and creativity blossom.
B. the 17th
C. the 2lst
D. the 1st
B. They are thought to be lacking in curiosity.
C. Their teachers are afraid of being questioned.
D. They are not encouraged to imagine both at home and in class.
B. motivate
C. appreciate
D. scold
B. allow their children to live in whatever way they like
C. focus more attention on developing their children"s living ability
D. encourage their children to commit mistakes in lives
B. to support and advocate Israel education
C. to illustrate the disadvantages of Chinese education
D. to criticize the wrong behavior of Chinese parents
A new study indicates that combining aerobics (有氧运动) and weight lifting can help people with Type 2
diabetes (糖尿病) keep their blood sugar levels under control.
Most people probably think of diabetes control in terms of diet or insulin (胰岛素), but Dr. Tim Church
says exercise can play a big role.
"If you look at what diabetes is, it"s the failure of the body to manage the blood sugar, and the biggest
consumer of blood sugar in the human body is skeletal (骨骼) muscle," he says." So if you keep skeletal
muscle happy, it"s chewing up blood sugar 24 hours a day."
Church says most previous studies looked at the impact on diabetes of one kind of exercise only-typically
aerobic exercise, like walking or bicycling. So he and his colleagues recruited (招募) more than 250 patients
with diabetes and randomly assigned them to an aerobic exercise group, a weightlifting group, a group that did
both kinds of exercise, or a control group that had no organized exercise program.
After nine months, he said, the results were clear.
"And for everything we looked at, but in particu1ar related to hemoglobin (血红蛋白) A1C-that represents
blood sugar control-the group that did both the walking and the resistance training, or weight lifting, did by far
the best."
Church said he expected that the group that did both kinds of exercise would do better, but he was
surprised by how much better they did-not just on controlling blood sugar, but on other relevant measures as
well, like weight. He said different kinds of exercise affect the body differently, especially the big muscles that
are fueled by blood sugar.
"Skeletal muscle is so important for your health, and that"s particularly true in individuals with diabetes," he
explained."And aerobic exercise affects skeletal muscle through one set of mechanisms(机制), and the
weight-lifting affects skeletal muscles through a completely different set of mechanisms. So when you
combine aerobic plus the weight-lifting, you"re doubling the opportunity for benefit."
B. It can be controlled only through diet or insulin.
C. Skeletal muscles can"t consume blood sugar.
D. People with type 2 diabetes are too fat.
B. his colleagues recruited so many people in his experiment
C. the result of his experiment was far beyond his expectation
D. the group doing both kinds of exercise just controlled weight
B. walking
C. bicycling
D. weight-lifting
B. different kinds of exercise affect the body the same way
C. skeletal muscles are important only for individuals with diabetes
D. aerobics and weight-lifting affect skeletal muscles in a different way
B. science health report
C. newspaper advertisement
D. book review

| In the computer age, most of us take a broadband Internet connection for granted. Whether cable or mobile broadband, today"s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too. There"s a catch, of course. You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don"t, it"s slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet access at all. Technology experts often talk about the "last mile" problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs, it"s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn"t cover the expense. But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren"t available everywhere. Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables (光纤电缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users. Still, the "last mile" problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn"t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication (迹象), it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go. | |||
| 1. The underlined part " a catch" (in Paragraph 2) probably means "_____". | |||
| A. a rare challenge B. a desirable plan C. an efficient device D. a hidden problem | |||
| 2. What can we know from the third paragraph? | |||
| A. Internet connection has not been popular in most cities. B. Internet service providers care about rural customers. C. Computer is popular in developing countries. D. It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas. | |||
| 3. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements ______. | |||
| A. make TV and telephone available everywhere B. bring great change to people"s everyday life C. make it possible for more people to use the Internet D. bring faster Internet connections to users | |||
| 4. What may eventually settle the "last mile" problem? | |||
| A. The broadband connection"s getting faster. B. More and more Internet users. C. More and more Internet connections. D. The rapid progress in cell phone technology. | |||
