In some countries，open campus (校园) is widely accepted. For example, French students have a two-hour lunch break from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. During their lunch break, they can eat at home or at a restaurant. But students in the Philippines have a tougher schedule. They have only two 15-minute breaks and an hour for lunch.
What Schedule would be best for American schools?
Having breaks between classes is great, but having breaks off campus is even better. There are several advantages to open campus, including simple conveniences such as being able to eat different meals during lunchtime, rather than having the cafeteria (自助食堂) dishes, as well as having the chance to take a break at home.
However, there are more reasons I disagree with allowing high school students the right to have an open campus. Sure, it’s great being able to escape school during the day for a while, but soon enough that may easily become the rest of the day.
If open campus is allowed, it is very possible that such freedom will make it all too easy for students to skip their afternoon classes. Of course, there will be students responsible enough to come back to school.
But unexpected problems such as heavy traffic, city bus delays (延迟) or cars breaking down may prevent them from returning to school. It benefits the students to stay in school during lunch hours to avoid transportation issues.
Depending on how close the school is to restaurants and students’ homes, open campus could be a great idea. Unfortunately, though, most public schools in America are not located close enough to restaurants or students’ homes, thus causing the negative results to outweigh (超过) the positives in the end.
1.Compared with French students, students in the Philippines .
A．have a poor diet B．get better grades
C．have less freedom D．prefer eating on campus
2.In the author’s opinion, open campus will probably .
A．lead to heavy traffic
B．cause students to cut school
C．attract more students to school
D．increase students’ sense of responsibility
3.What can we learn from the text about most American public schools?
A．They have a two-hour lunch break.
B．They allow students to eat outside.
C．They plan to have open campus.
D．They are far from students’ homes.
4.The text mainly discusses whether high schools should .
A．have a strict schedule

A telescope (望远镜), called Gaia, is being designed by astronomers in Europe, and it couldn’t be more different from Pan-STARRS, which is another telescope being designed. While Pan-STARRS will be looking for asteroids (小行星) and comets headed for Earth, Gaia will be looking at our entire galaxy (银河系).
Gaia is designed to draw a map of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Just as a map of your town gives you a picture of where things are located, Gaia’s map of the galaxy will tell astronomers where the stars are. Over five years, Gaia will observe (观察) about a billion stars and other objects in our galaxy. Each object will be observed about 70 times.
Gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket. It contains two telescopes, each focused at a different angle (角度). These two telescopes act like Gaia’s “eyes”. The reason why humans can see things in 3D is that we have two eyes focused on the same object, at slightly different angles. By using two telescopes like eyes, Gaia can produce the first 3D map of the positions of the stars it views.
Gaia, which is to be sent into space in 2011, will be a powerful telescope. If you were to use it on Earth, for example, you could stand 600 miles away from your best friends and still get a clear picture of their hair.
Gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now. The next generation of telescopes will reveal new parts of our universe that will seem surprising. The universe, with all its planets, stars and other strange objects, is a puzzle with pieces that we can see by using powerful telescopes.
1.How many different angles can Gaia focus at each time?
A. 2 . B. 3. C. 4 . D. 5.
2.The map to be drawn by Gaia ______.
A. can show every building on Earth
B. can show you where your town is
C. will just show the stars around Earth
D. will show where the stars are in our home galaxy
3.What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What Gaia will do in space.
B. When Gaia will start to work.
C. How powerful Gaia will be.
D. What Gaia will do to Earth.
4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the next generation of telescopes _______.
A. seem very surprising to scientists
B. will not be put into use in a short time
C. will just look at new things in universe
D. will be more powerful than the old generations

Since 2008, hunters have illegally killed more than 3000 rhinos in South Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature warns that rhinos may die out by 2026. People who hunt and kill illegally are called poachers. The most effective way to watch for and prevent illegal hunting is from the air. However, piloted flights are too costly. Fortunately, some Spanish college students have invented a drone (无人机) that can observe more places than a plane.
Arnau Garcia is an aeronautical (航空学的) engineering student at the Polytechnic Institute of Catalonia, in Spain. He says observers from the air have trouble finding poachers when they hide under the trees. Mr. Garcia and other students have worked with the drone manufacturer HEMAV to help find the hidden poachers. They make it by using the thermal camera, which is especially sensitive to body heat. Even when the poachers keep still, it can also keep track of them.
The drone can fly in the wind up to 55 kilometers per hour. It has an autopilot system, so it memorizes the flight path. The drone also has a microphone, a video camera and a GPS system. These permit it to report accurately where a picture is taken. After each flight, the drone can bring back detailed information about where rhinos are found, the conditions of water and plants in the area, and the positions of suspected poachers.
Experts say the drone can fly as far as 70 kilometers from the base. It means that it could quickly observe large areas for poachers. However, the same search operation would take days for human observers. Thanks to the drone, many poachers have been caught and the number of rhinos is on the increase. In addition, HEMAV has received an increasing number of orders for the drone. Even South African national park officials attempt to fill the air with drones.
1.What do we know about the drone? _____
A. It may get lost easily in the air.
B. It can’t work in the windy days.
C. It can offer detailed information.
D. It is useless when the poacher stays still.
2.What’s the best title for the text? _____
A. How to make the drone work well
B. A new way to stop illegal hunting
C. The living conditions of rhinos are worrying
D. The drone helps save rhinos in South Africa

Nowadays more and more people who lives in cities like to keep dogs as pets. Some of my friend believe people can get comfort and develop their patient and love by keeping dogs as pets. Personally, I do not really have interest to dogs, and sometimes I do hate some dog owners. They can be so annoyed. They talk about their dogs as if they are actually their little babies.

Public Speaking Training
●Get a coach
1. , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.
●Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 2. , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
●3.
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 4. . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
●You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 5. . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.
A. You already do lots of things well
B. Turn your back on too many rules
C. Check the rules about dos and don’ts
D. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
E. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
F. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
G. You aren’t like anybody else
