While many teenagers may dream of meeting with pop star Jay Chou or NBA hero Yao Ming, Li Jing
had a far more powerful person on her mind. The Senior 2 from Beijing No.35 High School dreamt of
meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After more than a year of hard work and with a little good luck, Li fulfilled her dream. On October
11, 2004, the 16-year-old girl joined a team of Chinese journalists who went to the Kremlin, in Moscow,
to interview Putin.
Li felt nervous before talking with Putin. "But his greeting and warm smile put me at ease," she said.
Li admires Putin very much, because of his strong will and style of leadership. "He looks very cool,"
Li said. During her interview, Li asked Putin whether he plans to educate his two teenage daughters to be
officials in the future. Putin smiled and answered he hopes they can do whatever job suits their interests
and personalities.
Although Li would only have several minutes, she started working on her interview questions last
August after applying for the opportunity. "Journalists work is by no means easy. You need to do lots
of homework on your interviewee," she said. She read many books about Putin and Russia in her spare
time.?
Li"s parents encouraged her to be a student journalist. "We fully support her, as long as it does not
affect her studies," said her father. Previously in her job for a student magazine, Chinese Young
Journalists, she wrote a letter to President Hu Jintao during the SARS epidemic.

confidence to speak with important people were not the things she could learn in class.?

understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves,
correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We
must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is
not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the
language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "Learn through use". Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.

More than one million children in the United States do not go to school. Instead, they learn at home.
They are taught by adults, like tutors (家庭教师). 1 Educational companies, libraries, and the Internet
provide many families with teaching material.
2 Some choose it because of their religious beliefs. Others say it provides more time for the family
to be together. They say home offers a better place for learning. Some parents believe home-schooling
avoids problems of traditional schools. These include classes that have too many students. Critics,
however, say children need to attend school with other children.
They also say that some home-schooled children do not get a good education. 3 Some states(州)
do not require much preparation made by parents or testing of children. Other states have more
requirements for home-schooling. Home-schooling in the United States began when the country was
established. In farm areas, people often lived far from a school. Widespread home-schooling took place
until about the middle of the 19th century. Then, in 1852, the state of Massachusetts passed the first law
requiring children to attend school.
Over the years, the American public education system strengthened and grew. By the 1960s and
1970s, however, some Americans believed that traditional education was not helping their child ren. 4
Home-schooling expert Linda Dobson says many people have helped the movement grow. She says
some parents began teaching their children at home after changes in tax laws forced some private religious schools to close. That happened in the 1980s. And, most recently, she says many kinds of people have
joined the movement. 5 They represent many races, religions and political beliefs. Ms. Dobson says the
number of home-schooled children has increased by an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year
during the last fifteen years.
A. So a number of parents began home-schooling.
B. They are mainly rich people.
C. However, all fifty American states and the District of Columbia permit home-schooling.
D. She says these include rich people and poor people.
D. Home-schooling is not accepted by all the people.
E. Parents choose home-schooling for several reasons.
F. Most often, their parents are their teachers. |

Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or sleep restfully. It is a problem to nearly everyone at some time .A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then , next morning, feel that he hardly sleep all night Normally, worry about not getting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia. If insomnia is recurrent, however, it is important to find its causes and try to correct them, with the help of a doctor if necessary.
Any of a large number of simple factors may take it difficult for someone to fall asleep or remain asleep. His matters may be too soft or too hard. If there are too many blankets on a hot night, he may be too warm; if the bedclothes are too light he may feel cold during the night. If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, this may cause difficulty in sleeping. Eating shortly before going to bed also be responsible for insomnia. Stimulating drinks, such as tea or coffee, can also keep people awake.

The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct. The sufferer should check the mattress, bedclothes and bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes. An eye mask keeps out the night and ear-plugs shut out sound. He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime, perhaps by reading a book; watching TV, or taking a warm bath. If he wakes during the night he should try turning on the light and reading for a while. Taking warm milk and a biscuit or two may be helpful. Above all, he should try not to worry about sleeplessness when someone is tied enough he nearly always falls asleep.
If necessary, a doctor may prescribe tranquillizers or sleeping pills. Take only the dosage he prescribes; any more is dangerous.
