What does the word“youth” mean to you? Many define it as a precious time in their life when they are young, when fun, passion, and imagination seem limitless. But for most high school students, youth is a time of determination and willpower for achieving their goals. This is vividly shown in Mark of Youth, a movie that opened on Feb 5. Mark of Youth tells the story of four Senior 3 students in a top high school in the days leading up to the national college entrance examination. Each character represents a different type of student, ranging from the most mischievous(调皮的)to the most motivated. Like most teenagers, they enjoy carefree moments and like to talk about their schoolmates. But the tension of the approaching exam, probably their first life-changing event, is common—they must memorize seemingly endless English words and Chinese poems, work through piles of practice test papers, and improve their scores despite the increasing pressure. But life exists beyond campus. That the college entrance examination is coming up doesn’t mean they can escape family changes, such as when one character’s parents get divorced or another’s father is arrested. Can these four young people handle their problems and eventually make it to their ideal universities despite their on –and –off campus stress? The story is set in Hubei Huanggang Middle School, known for its students’ outstanding performances on the big exam. The four students are played by the actors who played in the reality shows Happy Boys and Happy Girls. HongKong actor Alex Fong plays their teacher. Students may look more fashionable in Mark of Youth than in real life, but it is the story about the final year of high school that many viewers relate to. “The film is very inspiring,” said Senior 2 student Yao Lingqian, 16, from Leshan Foreign Language School in Sichuan province. “A total commitment(投入)to hard work, though it can be lonely and no fun at all, will leave precious marks on my youth.” And for Senior 3 student Gao Jing, the film has given her optimism. “The characters taught me that what you score is not the only important thing. The way you approach the exam matters the most,” said the 17-year-old from Zhenping County No 1 High School in Nanyang, Henan province. “The film really reflects senior 3students’life.” Zhang Ping, a teacher from a senior high school in Qingdao, commented. 小题1:What is the function of the first paragraph in the passage?A.To tell us what the word “youth” means. | B.To introduce what will be mainly talked about. | C.To tell youth is a time of determination and willpower. | D.To introduce some famous actors. | 小题2:Why must the four Senior 3 students memorize seemingly endless English words and Chinese poems?A.They want to enjoy carefree moments. | B.They want to gossip about their schoolmates. | C.They want to work through piles of practice test papers. | D.They want to improve their scores. | 小题3:Which of the following is true about the film?A.Mark of Youth tells a story that happened on Feb 5. | B.The characters in the film have to face the pressure from both study and their families. | C.The film tells a story that really happened in Hubei Huanggang Middle School. | D.Most characters in the film are played by actors from HongKong. | 小题4:What kind of belief does the film convey?A.Youth is a wonderful thing. | B.We youth should face challenge with smile. | C.Entrance examination is very important in our life. | D.The entrance examination isn’t so terrible. | 小题5:Which of the person can we see in the film?A.Alex Fong | B.Yao Lingqian | C.Gao Jing | D.Zhang ping |

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I"m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘you should open a sandwich shop.’” That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn"t cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000. But business didn"t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn"t know how badly, because we didn"t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They"d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful; we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners" learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn"t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says. And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds. Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. 小题1:Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.A.support his family | B.do some research | C.help his partner expand business | D.pay for his college education | 小题2:Which of the following is true of Buck? A.He put money into the sandwich business. | B.He was a professor of business administration. | C.He was studying at the University of Bridgeport. | D.He rented a storefront for Deluca. | 小题3:What can we learn about their first shop? A.It stood at an unfavorable place. | B.It lowered the prices to poor management. | C.It made no profits due to poor management. | D.It lacked control over the quality of sandwich. | 小题4:They decided to open a second store because they ________. A.had enough money to do it | B.had succeeded in their business | C.wished to meet the increasing demand of customers | D.wanted to make believe that they were successful | 小题5:What contributes most to their success according to the author?

Few of us haven’t read Cinderella(灰姑娘), the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻). Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured(特点) in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school. Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked(邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her. The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies. “The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson, “The focus is firmly on following your dream.” 小题1:The first paragraph is mainly to ____________.A.build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream | B.remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years | C.tell us what is the Cinderella Story | D.tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is | 小题2:What can we infer from the passage?A.Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class. | B.Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing. | C.Not many people have a dream to be realized. | D.The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary. | 小题3:The passage is mainly about ____________.A.an introduction to a novel | B.a review about a film | C.a passage about dreams | D.an advertisement of Cinderella |

This is the SCIENCE IN THE NEWS, I’m Barbara Klein. Animal experts say one of the world’s most beautiful and rare kinds of big cat is close to disappearing from the wild. A study earlier this year found that about thirty Amur leopards(豹) still live free. The cats are also called Far Eastern leopards. Recently, their numbers have been reduced by one. Some person shot a female Amur, then beat her to death. The animal’s body was discovered last month in the Barsovy National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Russia. An official of the World Wildlife Fund, Darron, said this was the third such killing in the area in the past fives years. Mr. Collins said the death of even one adult female is a huge loss for the endangered cat. He noted that the killing reduces the possibility for cubs(幼兽) or young. It is not clear how many Amur leopards still live free. One population count was performed in February and March. Wildlife expert Dmitry Pikuuov led this study. It found evidence of seven to nine males. The study identified(确定) three to seven females without cubs. Four leopards were identified as females with cubs. In all, five or six cubs were recorded. Six to eight animals could not be identified. Most of the land where the Amur leopard once lived was in China. New roads and climate change there threatened(威胁) the animals. So did hunters who kill big cats for their body parts. Mr. Pikuuov says adult Amurs need about five hundred square kilometers with good forests to survive. He said they also need a large and continuing supply of animals like deer for food. He believes the answer to saving the Amur leopard is for governments to provide protected spaces for wildlife. 小题1:This passage is probably from____________.A.a magazine | B.a newspaper report | C.a TV report | D.a film | 小题2:Why is the killing of an adult female a huge loss?A.It could lead to the death of an adult male. | B.It means it can not give birth to the young any more. | C.It is worth more money than a male. | D.There is only one adult female in the world. | 小题3:The number of the Amur leopards in China is becoming smaller because of all the following EXCEPTA.new roads | B.climate change | C.human hunting | D.rare diseases | 小题4:According to the experts the Amur leopards ____________.A.are living on plants | B.are living in the zoo | C.are well protected by people | D.are endangered |
