    “Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (骂)is a sign of love.”

    Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.

    Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre?college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.

    “Good education doesn’t mean letting your children enjoy privileges, especially our boys.” said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur (企业家)in Jinhua’ East China’s Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”

    In August, Song sent his 17?year?old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money—around $48,000 per year—to send a child to a strict military school.

    Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.

    A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28.“All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families; some of them were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.

    Song’s only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.

    Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.

    “The training is hard but I know it is good for self?development of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character; they are not personal.”

    But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.

    But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.

    1.From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying ________ .

    A. is out of date in modern times

    B. is disagreed by rich parents

    C. is still worth trusting

    D. is deeply believed by better educated parents

    2.The underlined sentence means that _________.

    A. Song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonely

    B. Song is the only one who sends his child to military school

    C. there are other people sending their children to military school besides Song

    D. the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it

    3.How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?

    A. 10. B. 13. C. 15. D. 25.

    4.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

    A. It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.

    B. Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.

    C. Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.

    D. Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.

    If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help. Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity(长寿). People living at higher altitude(海拔) have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors that could increase their risk. "Residence in mountainous areas seems to have a ‘protective effect’ from heart disease," said Dr Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens. He and his colleagues suspect that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to cope with lower levels of oxygen.

    Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years. One village was 1,000 meters above sea level and the other two were in low-lying areas. Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow-up." The contrast was more evident among men than among women," Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Heart disease is one of the world's top killers. Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol levels, being overweight and a family history of the illness increase the possibility of developing the disease.

    1.The first sentence in the passage is used to ________.

    A. give a very good guessing

    B. tell readers what the passage focuses on

    C. warn people of the risk of heart disease

    D. name a new unknown illness

    2.According to the passage, a person ________ may have less possibility of having heart attack.

    A. from higher altitude

    B. with a better living habit

    C. with more money

    D. in a happier mood

    3.How long does the research of the Greeks last?

    A. At most 10 years.B. Not mentioned.

    C. More than 20 years.D. About 15 years.

    4.Apart from altitude, how many factors raise the chance of developing heart disease?

    A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six

    It has been a long time since I did anything good for the environment. Feeling responsible to protect the environment, I decided to take the action again. I told my idea to my friends and we planned to plant tree on the hill in the countryside. We came to the foot of the hill and selected a place where looked suitably and settled down. We spend a few hours digging holes and placing the young seedlings. Then we wrote our wishes on cards one to one and buried it deep down the roots of the trees. We also took a lot of pictures. We were such busy that we didn’t realize that it was time to go back. I felt really glad that we made difference to the environment.
