    In her new book, “The Smartest Kidsin the World”, Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team or teams of any kind.

    That American high schools spend more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. In December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again show their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like China, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.

    Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader — a mother with three children in the school — was asked about the school’s flaws (瑕疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, theu mean?”

    One of the ironies of the situation is that sports show what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.

    1.Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _________.

    A. he intends to improve his scores

    B. Polish kids are better at learning

    C. sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg

    D. he wants to be the smartest kid in the world

    2.According to Paragraph 2, we know that _________.

    A. PISA plays a very important role in America

    B. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

    C. American students do better in both math and sports

    D. too much importance is placed on sports in America

    3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _________.

    A. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance

    B. high expectations push up American students’ academic performance

    C. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot

    D. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance

    4.The purpose of this article is to _________.

    A. compare Polish schools with those in America

    B. call on American schools to learn from the Polish model

    C. draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition

    D. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions

    Starting in 1972，the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn．It was acknowledged that some forest fires，such as those which were caused by lighting were necessary for forests to maintain（保持）balanced ecosystems，so the fire should be allowed to burn．However， a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially（最初）allowed to burn yet soon out of contro1．As a result，the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone，which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park．Massive areas of plants were destroyed，and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors．The rivers and streams were choked with ash，and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair．

    In addition，great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control．The fires were driven by high winds，moving as many as ten miles a day．Many small animals died in the flames．The fires’rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape．Even today，few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park．In the years immediately following the fires，the numbers of visitors declined．rapidly．No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation．Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser（喷泉）Old Faithful．But now its reputation as America's wonder is damaged permanently．

    “In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

    “Two full inches in the first three days!”

    These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper radio and television ads, promising good shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.

    Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.

    To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.

    One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that was dangerous to health and life.

    Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.

    1.It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are_____.

    A. objective B. costly

    C. unbelievable D. illegal

    2.The Relaxacisor is mentioned as______.

    A. a product which was designed to produce electricity

    B. a successful advertisement of a beauty product

    C. an example of a quality beauty product

    D. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case

    3.The author intends to______.

    A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promise

    B. show the weakness of the law on product safety

    C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful

    D. introduce the organization of FDA

    4.Which of the following is true according to the text?

    A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.

    B. The promoters usually just care about profits.

    C. New products are more likely to be questionable.

    D. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
