    Dear sister:

    　　I've been happy here in New York. But when holidays are coming near, I really feel “There's no place like home,” just like the English proverb says, “East, west, home is the best.

    　　You must be doing well in English class. The letter you sent to me was written in good English.

    　　Well, I want to bring my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly. If Dad and Mum say that will be all right, please write to me as soon as possible.

    　　Diana is a poor girl whose parents died last month in a terrible accident. She has to spend the holidays alone. She wants to see China and try everything that we Chinese do. She has learned Chinese for two years and can speak a little. She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to understand each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.

    　　Please give my love to our father and mother!

    　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Your sister,

    The high school diploma (文凭) is losing its value quickly, as a growing number of students graduate (毕业) from school without the math and reading skills that colleges and companies require, according to a new report.
    The high school graduation exams that most states (州) require students to pass before they graduate remain far too easy. Most of the exams generally test eighth-or ninth-grade level work.
    Today, even high school graduates who are going to have blue-collar (蓝领) jobs need to study the math, research and writing courses. But in high school, only students who are going to college are now required to take these courses.
    “If you want a good job with a good pay, it’s a high-skill job,” said Michael Cohen, a leading member of the America Diploma Project.
    The project suggests that all graduates master a wide range (范围) of skills. “A high school diploma should mean something to a company and university,” said Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, who is Achieve’s co-chairman.
    In Taft’s state, about 30% students who go directly to college from high school have to take remedial classes of English or math, he said. It’s easy to see that the present high-school graduating standards are not preparing students for college education.
    And with high-skilled jobs increasingly headed overseas to places like India and Ireland, states need to act, he said.
    To prove why math and reading skills matter, the report includes real-life examples of problems students meet in college and that workers must solve each day on the job. ?
    Some states are taking actions to upgrade the high school diploma. In Texas, all high school students, starting with the 2008 graduating class, will have to take the college-prep curriculum (大学预备课程) - unless a parent agrees to an easier course load. Other states are planning similar moves.
    The report includes examples of reading and math skills that high-school students should have. Project leaders say they hope parents will use those examples to judge (评定) the coursework at their kids’ high schools.
    【小题1】Why is the high school diploma losing its value quickly?

    A．Because the number of high school students is growing fast.
    B．Because high school students fail to reach the standards.
    C．Because the graduation tests are easier than it should be.
    D．Because difficult courses are not required in high schools.
    【小题2】Remedial classes in Paragraph 6 mean classes____.
    A．for good learners to study quickly and better
    B．for slower learners weak in the subject
    C．for learners to be taught one by one
    D．for learners to reach a higher standard
    【小题3】What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Colleges require higher math and reading skills than companies.
    B．It is easier for companies to find high-skilled workers in India.
    C．Math and reading skills help little for workers to solve daily problems.
    D．Parents ask high schools to offer college-prep curriculum in Texas.
    【小题4】What can be the best title for the passage?
    A．High School Diploma Means Little
    B．Give Students More High-skill Jobs
    C．Math and Reading Skills Really Matter
    D．Judge Coursework at High Schools

    Who are the top students in the world, do you know? Last week the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (经济合作与发展组织) picked the best students in the world. They are Finnish (芬兰的). The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 coun­tries and regions (地区) last year. The OECD wan­ted to know how well students were doing at school.

    Finnish students were No. 1 in the reading test and second in maths after Hong Kong students. Those from Japan and Finland were top in science. In the problem solving, Finnish students came sec­ond to those from South Korea. The test also showed Finland had more top students than the other countries.

    Finns (芬兰人) of your age have done a really good job but don't have a sense of envy. You can learn from them. Most Finnish students make good use of the Internet. Of course not for computer games, but for doing more exercises and finding out more information.

    Libraries are also important. Finland spends a lot of money on them. Many students have a free card. They read for at least one or two hours a day.

    What do you usually do on the Internet? How often do you go to libraries?

    1.Students from which country or region did best in the reading test?

    A．South Korea.

    B．Hong Kong.

    C．Finland.

    D．Japan.

    A．Hong Kong students were No. 1 in maths.

    B．Finnish students were the first of all the tests.

    C．Finnish students did well in the problem sol­ving.

    D．Japanese students were top in science.

    3.From this passage we know that_________.

    A．the test can make the students lose their in­terest in learning

    B．the test is designed to find out good ways to use the Internet

    C．it's hard to tell who the best students in the world are

    D．Finnish students make better use of the In­ternet and libraries
