    Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)：

    　　The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago．There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song．Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries．

    　　In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child．According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life．

    　　For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important．At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San(seven, five, three in Japanese)when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono(和服)．The priest(僧侣)gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home．

    　　In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen．After a special ceremony(仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys．

    　　Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’－the age when(in many countries)you have the right to vote(选举), join the army and(in Britain)drink alcohol or buy a house．

    　　In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key．The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

    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?
