In all, over three hundred students, who were considered to be at serious risk of 3 reading probles in future life, were 4 in a classroo setting. After reviewing the recorded lessons, the researchers found that those students whose teachers ost often 5 the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding.
Professor Shayne Piasta, the study's author, says ost teachers would find this ethod 6 because it needs only a sall change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only 7 in the new ethod would be increased attention to the print.

Teachers and parents can point to a letter and outline its 12 with a finger. They can point out a word and 13 , "This is ‘dog’ ".

Are you copetitive enough to ake it in Aerica?
There is an undeniable exciteent about coing to study in the U.S., but it's not all exciteent.
Yes, it is Aerica; it is the land of freedo; it's the place where different cultures clash ... and live together in peace. However, you guys ight agree with e. it's not easy to leave hoe and the security of faily, friends and people who love and care about us. And doing it raises soe questions:
Is it worth it? Are you equal to the challenge? You ight be sitting in front of your coputer watching a docuentary about Aerica, which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York, the beautiful war weather in San Diego, and the huge parties along the beaches of the Sunshine State, Florida.
Just so you know, it's all true. I reeber how y heart was racing the first tie I visited Ties Square in New York. I can't find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that oent. Soeday, when you get lucky and go there, you will know what I ean.
Unfortunately, TV and ovies never show the other side of what students ust do to survive Aerica. Education in the States is really different fro other places. Yes, there is the traditional A, B, C, and D grading syste, and you get to be on the Dean's List if you have all A's on your transcript. However, these grades don't just coe fro your test perforances. The requireents of classes in the U.S. are uch ore varied and this is the biggest adjustent that overseas students have to anage.
Soe have papers that you have to write every week, others have group projects you ust do with your classates, presentations you ake in the class, or research you do by yourself to prove your own idea. There coes a night when you have a couple of projects for different classes, a paper, and an exa to study for. And that night you ask yourself, "What did I get yself into?"
I' not trying to intiidate you, but you should know what it really is like to study in the States. One thing I can proise you is that it is worth all the hard work you put in. And the ore tie you give to your study, the ore open doors you will have by the tie you finish your degree.

"The Book That Can't Wait" is a great new idea that seeks to strengthen bonds between first tie writers and their readers by getting their books read quickly.
Argentinean independent publishers Eterna Cadencia are publishing a collection of short stories by new South Aerican authors using special ink that slowly disappears once it coes in contact with sun and air, copletely vanishing within 2 onths after the book has been opened. This akes for an interesting approach to otivating book buyers to read books ore quickly, giving first-tie authors the attention they need to survive.
"The Book That Can't Wait" tackles an iportant proble for new authors: How to get readers. The creative independent publishers teaed up with DRAFTFCB in the city of Buenos Aires to develop this project.
"Books are very patient objects. We buy the, and then they wait for us to read the. Days, onths, even years. That's OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don't read their first book, they'll never ake it to a second," says the project coordinator Tito Santana.
That's why Etea Cadencia, which also runs its own bookstore, has decided to create soething different to launch its new authors into the arket. It presented its first "The Book That Can't Wait" for the critics and the press last onth. The invention is a success. Hundreds of people cae to the bookstore to pick up a copy. To help spread the word, they gave away the first edition to custoers for free. The very sae day it was released, the publishing house claied that it received thousands of requests for ore copies of the book. So it will print a new edition later this onth to satisfy the deand. And the best result? This tie they have the guarantee that their new authors will be read. The copany plans to use the book as a platfor for other titles, because they believe there is a lot of literature out there that doesn't deserve to wait on the shelf. And these books won't wait at all.
31. The ain purpose of publishing "The Book That Can't Wait" is
to___________.
A. sell ore books
B. ake it fun to read
C. invent a new kind of book
D. get new authors' books read quickly
32. The DRAFTFCB entioned in Paragraph 3 is ost probably__________.
A. an organization involved in the project

actually eans______.

34. What can we learn fro the passage?

At 10:35 a.. on Deceber 17, 1903, two brothers fro Ohio flew the first successful airplane for 12 seconds and 120 feet along a beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. With Orville flying first, the brothers took turns as pilot, and they flew three ore ties that day. On their fourth try, they anaged to go 852 feet in 59 seconds ——an aazing feat at the tie. The two brothers had invented powered flight.
Orville and Wilbur Wright owned a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. Although they had not gone to school to learn about airplanes or engineering, they were good echanics. By repairing bicycles, they had learned how gears and pulleys worked. They also learned to take careful notes about what they sa Each tie they ade a new design and tested a achine, they took notes and ade drawings. They would study these to figure out what they could do better the next tie.
Before the Wright brothers flew, they did any things to prepare for this extraordinary achieveent. They read everything they could find about air, balloons, and kites. Then they ade careful sketches of what they wanted to build. They began by aking odel kites to learn how air flowed over wings. They ade the bigger and bigger until they had a glider — a kite that is big enough to hold a person, but with no engine. The Wright brothers ade three gliders before building their first airplane. Each tie they ade a glider, they would test it, ake careful observations, and then iprove their design.
When they ade a glider that flew well, they added an engine. This step was harder than it sounds, because they had to find an engine that was both light-weight and powerful. The engines that they could buy were either too heavy or too weak, so they asked their friend Charlie Taylor to help the build one. The first engine that Charlie built broke alost iediately, but the second one worked well.
After Orville and Wilbur installed the engine in their plane, they were alost ready. They siply had to wait for the perfect day with just the fight aount of wind. On the orning of Deceber 17, 1903, they had their chance. And the airplane flew into history.
36. What was the speed of the first flight?
A. 10 feet per second. B. 120 feet per inute.
C. 12 feet per second. D. 1200 feet per hour.
37. What can we learn about the Wright brothers fro Paragraph 2?

Expensive perfues (香水) coe in tiny bottles, but any hide a whale-sized secret.
To perfect a particular sell, perfue-akers often use an ingredient that coes fro sper whales, called abergris. But using abergris, which helps a perfue last longer, is strongly opposed by any people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can sell sweet. Joerg Bohlann is neither a perfuer nor a whale expert. He's a plant biologist at the University of British Colubia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene (基因) ight push whales out of the perfue business.
The gene coes fro fir trees, found throughout North Aerica and coonly used as Christas trees. The trees produce a cheical that can be used in perfue in place of abergris ——but with a catch.
"There's a proble that any people wouldn't consider. In the tree, the cheical is ixed with any others. That akes separation a challenge," Bohlann says. "It's like trying to isolate sugar fro a biscuit."
This is where science becoes useful. When Bohlann learned that fir trees produce the abergris-like cheical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to ake the abergris-substitute. h
Bohlann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did soething that ight sound strange to soeone who doesn't work in genetics: Bohlann put the gene fro the tree into yeast (酵母) cells.
Yeast ay sound failiar because it's used to ake things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behaviour. When Bohlann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started aking the sae cheical that had been produced by the tree.
Perfuers pay big oney for abergris because it is a fixative, which eans it holds a sell in place on a person's body.
"Cheap perfues sell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone," explains Bohlann. "But expensive perfues are uch ore stable. Their sell lasts uch longer, for hours or even a day after you apply the. "
The new cheical, ade fro the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to ake it is far cheaper than acquiring abergris.
Bohlann adits he never thought he'd get into the perfue business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfues.
41. It can be inferred fro the passage that if a perfue contains abergris,
A. its user probably supports whale hunting
B. its sell will last for about an hour
C. there will be a whale sybol on the bottle
D. it is probably very expensive
42. The underlined expression "with a catch" in Paragraph 3 eans
A. being difficult to hold B. having a hidden proble
C. needing further testing D. being too siilar
43. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?
A. They can take on the characteristics of other genes.
B. They can reproduce uch faster than other cells.
C. They share soe of the qualities of plant genes.
D. They're uch cheaper to use than abergris.
44. What can we learn about Joerg Bohlann fro the passage?
A. He is opposed to whale hunting.
B. He ade his discovery during Christas.
C. He has worked in the perfue industry for any years.
D. He has previously done genetic research.
45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Christas tree's secret
B. The sweet sell of success
C. Whale-free perfue
D. Save the whale

The serious decline in the health of Chinese students is causing concern aong parents, schools and experts. The next generation's future is in danger and there is a need to understand the causes of the proble and find a solution.
In the last 10 years, studies have found an alaring increase in:
•Obesity—— The nuber of overweight iddle school students has doubled. Poor diet, especially the overeating of junk food and the overdrinking of soft drinks, and the lack of physical activity are identified as the ain reasons for this proble.
•Poor eyesight——ore students now wear glasses and fro an earlier age. Long hours of study and heavy use of coputers and obile phones are ost coonly blaed.
• Stress——Students feel under ore pressure to succeed than ever before. The long hours of study and hoework they ust do to achieve success, plus pressure fro parents and schools are the ain causes.
