On Sept 18, they arrived before polling stations even opened, dressed in school uniforms, with book bags over their shoulders—and, for the first time in British history, ballot (选票) cards in hands.
More than 109,000 Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17 took part in the Scottish independence referendum (公民投票), in which Scotland eventually decided not to become independent.
The age group only made up a small part of the 4.29 million total voters, but they have “demonstrated how the youngest voters can be some of the most enthusiastic in a mature democracy”, commented The Associated Press. Casting their ballots, they were “proud and passionate” to help their nation decide whether to break away from the UK after 307 years in union.
“You feel like you’ve got a say, because it is going to be you. You are going to decide what it is like when you’re older,” 16-year-old Erin Cheshire in Glasgow, who voted “yes”, told The Wall Street Journal.
At age 16, Scottish residents are allowed to join the military, get married, and work. Eighteen is the legal drinking age, as well as the UK’s voting age. But in 2013, Scottish law was changed to allow 16- and 17-year-olds in Scotland to vote in the referendum. The government pushed for the change because “younger voters are more likely to vote with their hearts, not their heads—and embrace fundamental change by voting for the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign”, NBC News said.
But when the decision was handed down, some worried that high school students might not be as informed as adult voters. However, many experts said that assumption was wrong.
Professor Jan Eichhorn of the University of Edinburgh insisted that Scottish teenagers were as likely to read newspaper articles and campaign materials as their parents. They would simply get these resources through social media.
“There’s no evidence to suggest that they’re less capable than adults of voting, from a research point of view,” Eichhorn told NPR.
Scotland’s move to let younger teenagers vote in the referendum has led to a discussion about whether the voting age ought to be lowered to 16, both in the UK and the US.
“By 16, most people have about as stable an ideology (思想意识) as they are going to get,” Professor Jason Brennan of Georgetown University wrote for CNN, arguing that the US should also think about allowing younger US citizens to vote.
1. The Scottish independence referendum was held on Sept. 18 ______.
A. to encourage youngsters to be concerned with politics
B. to lower the minimum voting age to 16 for the referendum
C. to elect who would be the new leader of Scotland
D. to decide whether Scotland would become independent from the UK
2. According to the passage, we can learn ______.
A.It is possible for the USA to lower the voting age to 16 in the future.
B.Scotland gained its independence from the UK eventually.
C.All the people in Scotland thought highly of the government’s decision to lower the voting age to 16.
D.Scottish teenagers aged 16 are allowed to join the military, get married, work and drink alcohol now.
3.What doe the underlined word “embrace” (in para.5) probably mean?
A. Approve of B. Object to
C. Know about D. Admit to
4.What is Jan Eichhorn’s opinion of the Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17?
A.They are too enthusiastic to make informed decisions.
B.They make no difference to the voting result.
C.They are as informed and capable as adults of voting.
D.They are unwilling to be involved in the decision of the country’s future.

Which boy hasn’t dreamed of being a cool secret agent(特工)? The wonderful fighting and the world-saving adventures are much more colourful than most people’s everyday lives. Well, Cody Banks is just like any other boy, except that he is not just dreaming. He has a big secret his friends never know about. He was trained to be a spy(间谍) by a special CIA programme, which was made to look like a summer camp. He learned high-speed driving, hand-to-hand fighting and the use of high-tech tools.
After proving he could become a young hero by saving a baby from a runaway car, Banks gets his first real task. He must make friends with a popular girl at school, Natalie Connors. Then, he must spy on her father, a scientist who has developed a dangerous technology(技术). Banks must stop a group of bad people from forcing Natalie’s father into using the technology to endanger the world.
The CIA may have taught him first-class self-defence moves, but they didn’t show him how to talk to girls. Banks has zero ability when it comes to dealing with girls. How can he get around his problem and get an invitation to the girl’s upcoming birthday party? Will he finally become Natalie’s boyfriend and find out whatever he can do about her father’s work?
Agent Cody Banks has everything that young people are interested in: big explosions, breath-taking performances and funny girl-dating experiences. It was listed in No.2 in the American box office last week.

Born with easy-broken bone disease, Zhang Yonghong is only half a meter tall and must use a wheelchair. His thin arms and legs can hardly support any weight, and he is unable to take care of himself. However, his hands are able to produce fine paper-cuts, which will free his daughter from the same disease.
To support himself, he learned how to make paper-cut art from his mother. He sold his artwork and taught his techniques in Xi’an for eight years before discovering his young daughter inherited the disease from him, leading Zhang to move his family to Beijing for his daughter’s better treatment five years ago.
The daughter’s treatment costs about 30,000 yuan a year. The family’s savings was used up in two years, and Zhang was forced to start to sell his work in underground passages with his healthy wife, who soon left him because of the hard life.
With a little help from government, he was lucky to meet some kindhearted people in Beijing. A Hong Kong businessman gave 60,000 yuan to him last year to treat the girl and start a small shop on Qiangulouyuan, which is known as a famous hutong that attracts lots of tourists over holidays. Zhang Rui, a university graduate, spends most of her time helping Zhang sell the paper-cuts, translating the stories of the paper-cuts into English and selling the works on the roadside of Nanluoguxiang.
However, the artist still lives beyond his income (收入) and struggles to continue his small business. “Selling paper-cuts is his only source of income. Without this, he can’t support the family and treat his daughter,” says Zhang Rui, who hopes more people will help Zhang.
1.Why did Zhang grow only half a meter tall?
A. His easy-broken bone disease affected him.
B. His parents also had the same disease.
C. His poor family couldn’t provide him with rich food.
D. An unexpected accident caused him to grow slowly.
2.What does the underlined word “inherited” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. get around B. take away
C. pass on D. go over
3.Why did his wife leave him?
A. Because she was afraid of losing the daughter.
B. Because she was tired of him and her children.
C. Because she lost hope for her daughter.
D. Because the life was too hard for them.
4.With the help of a Hong Kong businessman, Zhang Yonghong _________.
A. could support the daily life of his family
B. ran a shop of his own in Beijing
C. hired a girl to sell his artworks
D. could start a translation room
5.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Zhang still needs more people to help him.
B. Zhang manages his business very well.
C. Zhang’s business needs to be developed.
D. Zhang needs to look for a wife to help him.
