In America, Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort(度假胜地): brilliant beaches, a lively boardwalk, plenty of restaurants and nightspots, and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids. Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season, when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.
Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, to enjoy the happiness and excitement the beach offers.
The number one safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguard post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.
Never swim alone. Many drownings involved single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a problem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others.
Don’t fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip (撕裂的)current, don’t fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip current are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.
1.When coming to Virginia Beach, children cannot enjoy the happiness of______.
A.walking on the road made of wood
B.joining the nightspots
C.Riding a horse or a pumper car
D.Skiing in the sea
2.Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be____.
A.After autumn school term beginning
B.In the summer vacation
C.During the Christmas holiday
D.In the cold winter
3.From the passage we can know ____.
A.one in five persons swimming in the sea is drowned
B.if one with lifeguard were drowning, five persons without lifeguard would be
C.some 80% people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards
D.some 20% drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards
4.The passage mainly tell us ____.
A.Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort
B.the happiness and excitement the beach offers
C.some safety tips when swimming in the sea
D.the dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the sea

C
For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find an internship (实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far behind.
Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higherearnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.
In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment. But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.
Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example ,encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.
However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.
“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they will become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.
1.In the author’s opinion, German high school leavers ______.
A. enjoy more career-related courses than that of US
B. need more career advice from their schools
C. perform better in exams than American students
D. are less brought into contact with the working world
2.According to Robert Schwartz, high school students should _________.
A. directly carry on higher education
B. get contact with the working world
C. focus on their performance in exams
D. not miss out on the summer job experience
3.The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean “______”.
A. incredible B. motivating
C. impressive D. discouraging
4. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Remarks on recent US high school education reform
B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers in US.
C. The lack of career-based education in US high schools.
D. The severe situation of unemployment in US.
