old. But in the USA today, a college student often is much older. In fact, educators say in the next few years
colleges and universities may have more older part-time students than traditional full-time younger students.
Educators report a big increase in the number of Americans who attend college and university classes in
the evening or at night or weekends. Most of them are older than 25 years old and more have full-time or part-
time jobs. Many are in their thirties or forties.
Why are so many people deciding to spend their time and money in order to continue their education? Most
are doing it because they believe more education will help them to get a better job. Some are industrial workers
whose factories have closed. They are learning new skills to prepare for other kinds of work. Some of the part-
time students are not pleased with the jobs they have. They are studying for new ones. Some have retired (退休)
and are looking for new kinds of jobs. Two of every three of the students older than 35 are women. Many of
them are returning to school after years of staying at home to care for children.
Are older students good students? Most teachers say yes. They say older students really want to learn. They
ask difficult questions and are not pleased with simple answers. They often get high grades.
B. full-time students in colleges and universities will be even younger
C. American colleges and universities will take in part-time students equally
D. The number of older students will be greater than that of the younger ones
B. Most of them are over 25.
C. Most of them are without jobs.
D. The number of students in colleges and universities s reported to have gone up greatly.
B. most of them believe: more education, better jobs
C. they have lost their jobs
D. they are tired of their jobs they have
B. they often get very good marks
C. they are more likely to receive a master"s or a doctor"s degree upon graduation

program, there is usually another one called the "American Host Family" program. As its name suggests,
the program gets American families involved in foreign students" lives in America and offers homes for
them.
Foreign students generally welcome such an opportunity to have a"family" here, but there are also
those who prefer to stay "homeless".
Many American families volunteer to host foreign students. However, if there is a shortage of host
families, schools also get in touch with local people and introduced foreign students to them.
The "American Host Family "program changes in lengths of time. It can go from a few days to a few
years, depending on each individual school. After the first year is over, it is up to foreign students and
their "families" to decide if they want to stay together as a "family". American families can host as many
foreign students as they like. They can either have several students or just one at a time. Many families
start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones. Schools usually leave it
to foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet.
My school, however, holds activities every year. On major holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and
Christmas, foreign students are usually invited to their themes for dinner. Even schools that do not have
host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday
occasions.
It is typical that a host family invites its foreign daughter or son over, and they cook the student"s home
food together, Undoubtedly, Chinese students are usually considered good cooks, whether or not they are
really qualified for such praise at home. Although many Chinese students rarely cooked at home, they often
have a hard time making their American friends believe that they cannot cook. It often happens when a
Chinese student promises to cook a Chinese meal for his host family, he usually sees a little crowd expecting
him: friends or relatives are also invited over for the "special" Chinese food!
B. The "Host Family Program"in the U.S.
C. The "Student Exchange Program" in the U.S.
D. Activities in American Schools
B. To provide homes for foreign students.
C. To make greater progress in the study of foreign students.
D. To supply "sons" or "daughters" for American families.
B. Its activities,the number of schools and students.
C. Its lengths of time,the number of students and activities.
D. The number of students,the lengths of time and important holidays.
B. not all Chinese students are good cooks in the eyes of Americans
C. it is good manners to invite relatives or friends to taste foreign food
D. Americans are very interested in foreign food
before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken
instructions some time before they can speak, though the word "obey" is hardly accurate as a description of
the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will
also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to
considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one
or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since
these can"t be said to show the baby"s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms
of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by
six months they are able to add new words to their store. This selfimitation (模仿) leads on to deliberate (有意
的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point
at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person
means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains
more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of "mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be
dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or
anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has
begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this
ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D. they can"t understand and obey the adult"s oral instructions
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D. is one that should be completely ignored (忽略) because children"s use of words is often meaningless
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. even after they have learnt to speak,children still enjoy imitating
D. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
communications blackout caused by solar storms.
After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that
could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.
Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons
of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications
satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London.
"The Sun"s activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next
solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard
Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.
At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the
Sun"s atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. "A coronal mass ejection can
carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose
astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb
communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the
greatest number of sunspots.
Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the
most advanced televisions available.
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of
the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.
Professor Richard Hold away, the lab"s director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning
of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance
warning, we"ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don"t want is things switching off for a week with no
idea of what"s caused the problem," he said.

but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that
are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights,
balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way,kids are given the tools and skills and experiences
so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.
Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and
thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-
class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put
P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia
Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly
due to the lack of a national standard."Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin
have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight
children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports. The
researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because
reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students
continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to
adulthood.
1. In the new P.E. program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance
rather than ______.
2. As for P.E., some school boards either ______.
3. What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?
____________________________________________________________________________________
4. What is the long-term benefit of the new P.E program?
