When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.
The New York Times recently released（公布）a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips, even if it's not required by their school.
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.
Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.
The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They're not little princess(公主）. It's just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”
Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff (职员). Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
They must play a team sport, because it's about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.
…
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded（全面发展）as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?
1.What's the passage mainly about?

3.What has to be followed after the girls' every trip?

Throughout history, people are now aware that Australian cuisine was based on the old British cooking which was handed down by the first settlers. Modern Australian cuisine, however, has been heavily influenced by Australia’s Asian and Southeast Asian neighbors. The trend, motivated by the government health programs, is towards low-fat healthy cookery including low-fat meat and lightly cooked colorful, steamed or fried vegetables. Besides, like many English families, in many Australian homes, a widespread tradition of having roast turkey, chicken, and ham for Christmas lunch or dinner still remains.
Basically speaking, breakfast is comparatively light for most Australians. But in the colder regions porridge or meals similar to the full English breakfast may be consumed. In recent years, however, most Australian people prefer light breakfast in order to control their weight. The light breakfast commonly consists of cereals, toast and fruit. A heavier breakfast will frequently include fried bacon, eggs, mushrooms, etc. Drinks consumed at breakfast include tea, coffee, milk or juice.
The meal in the evening is the main meal of the day for most Australians. When consumed at home, it is often eaten with members of the immediate family. The dishes served will vary widely according to the tastes and background of the family. A typical Australian restaurant might offer sandwiches, chicken or other meat-based dishes and cakes.
In recent years, take-away food is becoming popular in Australia. American style chain restaurants are common including Subway, KFC, and Mcdonald’s.
With the high portion of immigration from the Middle East，South and Southeast Asia，Korea，China and other countries from all over the world to Australia，any authentic and high-quality restaurants are run by first and second generation immigrants from these areas.
1.According to the first paragraph, what does the Australian government encourage its people to do?
A. To have roast turkey for Christmas dinner.
B. To try to eat low-fat healthy foods.
C. To use traditional British cooking methods.
D. To learn from Asian neighbors to cook foods.
2.The main idea of the second paragraph is_____.
A. what Australian people drink at breakfast.
B. what breakfast Australian people have nowadays.
C. that Australians often have a heavy breakfast.
D. that most Australian people don’t have breakfast to lose weight.
3.The underlined part “the immediate family” in Paragraph 3 probably mean people who_____.
A. have the same family names.
B. do some cooking together at times.
C. live next to one another in the same area.
D. are very directly-related members of a family
4. From the passage, we can learn that_____.
A. fewer and fewer immigrants enter Australia every year
B. Subway is a chain restaurant and it is from the South America
C. home cooking is becoming more and more popular in Australia
D. Asian and Southeast Asian countries have a great impact on the modem Australian food.

People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painter thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet(字母表).
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic-strip (连环漫画) stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letter of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.
1.Ancient people in France and Spain painted pictures on walls of caves probably because ______.
A. they loved animals
B. they enjoyed seeing pictures
C. they preferred painting pictures to telling stories
D. they thought pictures helpful
2.The Greek alphabet was simpler than the Egyptian system for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.
A. the former was easy to write
B. there were fewer signs in the former
C. the former was easy to pronounce
D. each sign stood for only one sound
3.In the last paragr
aph, the author thinks that pictures ______.
A. should be made easy to understand
B. are of much use in our life
C. should be made interesting
D. are disappearing from our life
4.The possible title of this article may be ______.
A. Pictures and Writing
B. The Best Way of Writing
C. Home of the Comic-Strip Stories
D. The Earliest Language in the World
