     WASHINGTON -According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
72 officers were killed by criminals in 2011, increased markedly in recently years.
     The 2011 deaths were the first time that more officers were killed by suspects than car accidents.
The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks
in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
     While the F.B.I. and other law enforcement(执行) officials cannot fully explain the reasons for the
rise in officer homicides, they are clear about the terrible consequences.
     "In this law enforcement job, when you pin this badge on and go out on calls, when you leave
home, you can't guarantee that you will come back," said Sheriff Ray Foster of Buchanan County,
Va.
     After a series of killings in early 2011, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. asked federal authorities
to work with local police departments to try to come up with solutions to the problem.
      The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay
College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had
previously been arrested for a violent crime.
     That prompted the F.B.I. to change what information it will provide to local police departments,
the officials said. Starting this year, when police officers stop a car and call its license plate into the
F.B.I.'s database, they will be told whether the owner of the vehicle has a violent history. Through the
first three months of this year, the number of police fatalities has dropped, though it is unclear why.
     Some law enforcement officials believe that techniques pioneered by the New York Police
Department over the past two decades and adopted by other departments may have put officers at
greater risk by encouraging them to conduct more street stops and to seek out and confront (对抗)
suspects who seem likely to be armed. In New York and elsewhere, police officials moved more
officers into crime-ridden areas.
     Some argue that the rise in violence is linked to the tough economy. With less money, police
departments, after years of staffing increases, have been forced to make cutbacks(削减).
     The police chief in Camden, N.J., J. Scott Thomson, whose force of 400 was cut by nearly half
last year because of financing issues, said that having fewer officers on the street "makes it that much
more difficult to create an environment in which criminals do not feel as encouraged to attack anothe
r person, let alone a law enforcement officer."
     "Every stop can be potentially fatal, so we are trying to make sure the officers are ready and
prepared to face deadly force every single day they go out." Ms. Klimt said.

      The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about
the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an "education" through games
and other entertainment.
      A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz",
he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance
music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that  they need to learn  about advertising.
      Its inventors say eight to twelve  years old is the age kids d evelop their critical thinking
abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
      The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To
know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get
the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They
can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through
ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in
the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
     The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else
ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business.
The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion
dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
     The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence
parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value.
First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for
children.
1.What is the best title of the text?
A. The guide of Admongo          
B. An education website for children
C. A popular online video game      
D. A website aimed at children
2. Why did the government start the website?
A. To attract the biggest market of buyers.  
B. To sell the products of its company.
C. To help children know about advertising.  
D. To advertise the video game for children.
3.What can players do in the website game?

A. Choose hair styles for their character.    
B. Travel to a supermarket.
C. Eat in a fast-food restaurant.    
D. Play video games during the trip.

4. Children are important for advertising because they are __________.
A. important for the society            
B. the most potential buyers
C. easily influenced by ads            
D. easily affected by poor products

     "A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right," says Mollie Hunter. Born
and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She
firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion it is necessary to make   full use of language and   she  enjoys  telling a
story, which is what every writer should be doing. "If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer. "I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "
This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very
good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said 'Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you'll be a writer.' So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good
teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."
     This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in  the
third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition  (理想)
and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地) brought
thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows(草地) and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. "I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had
lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back,"she said. "Never.""When I set one of my books
in Scotland,"she said,"I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or
watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so
early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us."
1. In Mollie Hunter's opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer? 
A. Being poor in life experience.     
B. Being short of writing skills.
C. The weakness of description.         
D. The absence of a story.
2. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child? 
A. She didn't expect to become a writer.
B. She didn't enjoy writing stories.
C. She didn't have any particular ambitions.
D. She didn't respect her teacher's views.
3. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are     
A. more intelligent(聪明的)               
B. better informed(见多识广的)
C. less eager to learn                     
D. less interested in reality
4. What's the writer's purpose in this text? 
A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.   
B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.
C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.
D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers
