    　　Kathy started at my nursery school at the age of three．She settled into the group easily, and would be first on the slide and highest up the climbing frame．She could put on her coat without help and not only fasten her own buttons but other children’s too．

    　　She was a lovely child but unfortunately a scratcher．If anyone upset her or stood in her way, her right hand would flash out fast and scratch down the face of her playmates．Children twice her age would fly in fear from her．

    　　This must have been very rewarding for Kathy but obviously it had to be stopped．All the usual ways failed and then I remembered an account by G Atkinson Highfield School, of how fights in the playground had been stopped．No punishment had been given, but the attacker had been ignored and the victims rewarded．So I decided to try out on Kathy．

    　　With a pocketful of Smarties I followed Kathy around．She was so quick that it was impossible to prevent her scratching, but I was dertermined to stay within arm’s length all afternoon．

    　　All was peaceful but then I saw Kathy’s hand moved and heard the scream．Gently I gathered up the little hurt one in my arms and said “Nice, nice sweetie” and then looked puzzled when she got nothing．

    　　Soon came another scream, this time from John．While holding him in my arms, I said, “Look, Kathy, a nice Smartie for John” and put it into John’s mouth．

    　　A smile of understanding flashed across Kathy’s face．Minutes later, she came to me and said loudly, “Give me a Smartie!I have hurt my finger!”

    　　“No,” I replied, “you’ll get it if someone hurts you．”

    　　On purpose, she turned and scratched a nearby boy, Tom, and waited quietly while I mothered and rewarded him, then she walked away．

    　　She has never scratched a child since．

    　　Parents who find older children bullying younger brothers and sisters might do well to replace shouting and punishment by rewarding and giving more attention to the injured ones．It’s certainly much easier and more effective．

    　　Hidden Valley looks a lot like the dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine．There's a lake, some soccer fields and horses．But the campers make the difference．They're all American parents who have adopted kids from China．They're at Hidden Valley to find bridges from their children's old worlds to the new．Diana Becker of Montville, Maine, watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese version of"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star．""Her soul is Chinese,"she says,"but really she's growing up American．"

    　　Hidden Valley and a handful of other"culture camps"serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions, from 7,093 in 1990 to 15,774 last year．After cutting through what can be miles of red tape, due to different customs and cultures, parents often come home to find a new dilemma(进退两难的窘境)．"At first you think, 'I need a child',"says Sandy Lachter of Washington, D．C．, who with her husband, Steve, adopted Amelia, 5, from China in 1995．"Then you think, 'What does the child need?'"

    　　The culture camps give families a place to find answers to those kinds of questions．Most grew out of local support groups;Hidden Valley was started last year by the Boston chapter of Families with Children from China, which includes 650 families．While parents address weighty issues like how to raise kids in a mixed-race family, their children just have fun riding horses, singing Chinese songs or making scallion pancakes．

    　　The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year．"When we rented out a theater for 'Mulan,' it was packed,"says Stephen Chen of Boston, whose adopted daughter Lindsay is 4．Classes in Chinese language, art and calligraphy are taught by experts, like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center．"Our mission is to preserve the heritage,"Lu says．

    　　Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complex heritage．Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in India and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton of Boulder, Colo．, when he was 7．"I went through a stage where I hated India, hated everything about it,"he says．"You just couldn't mention India to me．"But after six sessions at the East India Colorado Heritage Camp, held at Snow Mountain Ranch in Estes Park, Colo．, he hopes to travel to India after he graduates from high school next year．

    　　Camp can be a learning experience for the whole family．Whitney Ning, 23, a counselor for four years, says the Korea Heritage Camp helped her become closer to her parents．"They were hesitant at first,"she says,"but when they saw how much it meant to me, they became very supportive．"Sometimes the most direct route around the world is across a campfire．

    (1)

    Why do American parents come to Hidden Valley?

    [　　]

    A．

    It has a large gathering of adopted children．

    B．

    Parents want to find a place to exchange their ideas．

    C．

    It helps children adapt to the new culture well．

    D．

    It is a very good place for relaxation．

    (2)

    Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the culture camp?

    [　　]

    A．

    It well reflects the increasing foreign adoptions．

    B．

    Parents can find the answers to their questions in raising the adopted children．

    C．

    Children can learn a lot in culture camp．

    D．

    It helps the adopted children have a better understanding of their complex heritage．

    (3)

    The underlined expression“miles of red tape”most probably means________．

    [　　]

    A．

    a number of choices

    B．

    many hard journeys

    C．

    many cassettes

    D．

    most troublesome procedures

    (4)

    What is Alex's attitude toward India now?

    [　　]

    A．

    Strong disapproval．

    B．

    Much interest．

    C．

    Slight dislike．

    D．

    Enthusiastic support．

    (5)

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

    　For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.

    　　Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan（扫视）the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.

    　　Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy（银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution（进化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.

    　　However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.

    　　Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization（文明）much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.

    According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?

    　　A. 5 billion．　　　　　　　　　　 B. 10 billion.

    　　C. 15 billion.　　　　　　　　　　　D. 200 billion

    The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________ .

    　　A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

    　　B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

    　　C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

    　　D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

    The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ ________ ”.

    　　A. find　　　　　　　　　　　　　B. follow

    　　C. check　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. form

    Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?

    　　A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.

    　　B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.

    　　C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.

    D. Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.

    “I grew up on Jackson’s music and I still have all his stuff on My iPod. I think that Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers. His brilliance as a performance also was paired with a tragic and in many ways，sad personal life.”

    Michael Jackson was a singer，songwriter，dancer and celebrity icon with a vast catalog of hit records and countless awards to his credit. Beyond that，he had transfixed the world like few entertainers before or since. As a solo performer，he had enjoyed a level of superstardom previously known   ——Barack Obama

    only to Elvis Presley，the Beatles and  Frank Sinatra.

    Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the 80s’，and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time.

    Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29,1958.The fifth and youngest son of steelworker Joe Jackson，Michael displayed a talent for music and dance from an extremely young age. His father began to organize a family musical group around his three eldest sons in 1962，and Michael joined them the following year，quickly establishing himself as a dynamic stage performer. Dubbed the Jackson 5，the group signed to Motown in 1968 and issued their debut single in October 1969，when Michael was just 11 years old. I Want You Back，ABC，The Love You Save and I’ll Be There all hit number one in 1970，making the Jackson 5 the first group in pop history to have their first four singles top the charts. Later in 1972，Jackson had his first number one solo single，Ben. In 1977，he met producer/composer Quincy Jones for the first time. With Jones producing，Jackson recorded his first solo album as an adult，Off the Wall.

    Released（发行） in 1982，the Quincy Jones produced Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall：the dance and rock tracks were more driving，the pop tunes and ballads softer and more soulful，and all of it was recognizably Michael. There was no surprise that Thriller was a hit；what was a surprise was its staying power .Jackson’s duet with McCartney，The Girl Is Mine，was a natural single choice，and it peaked at number two；then Billie Jean and the Van Halen track Beat It both hit number one，for seven and three weeks respectively.

    Michael Jackson died from heart disease on June 25 at age 50.

    1.What does Barack Obama mean by saying “His brilliance as a performance also was paired with a tragic and in many ways，sad personal life”？

    A．Michael Joseph Jackson was a success in his career as well as in life.

    B．Michael Joseph Jackson was a success in his career.

    C．Michael Joseph Jackson led a happy life.

    D．Michael Joseph Jackson gained a lot in his career，but he also suffered a lot in his life.

    2.According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?

    A．Barack Obama likes Michael Jackson’s song very much.

    B．Barack Obama and Michael Jackson are good friends.

    C．Michael is good at music as well as at dance.

    D．Michael Jackson had his first number one solo single when he was 14 years old.

    3.Choose the right time order of the following events.

    a．Barack Obama，President of the US，assessed the whole life of Michael Jackson.

    b．The family musical group signed to Motown.

    c．Michael joined the family musical group.

    d．His father began to organize a family musical group.

    e．Thriller became a hit.

    A．a－c－e－b－d  　　  B．d－c－b－e－a

    C．b－e－a－c－d  　　  D．d－e－b－c－a

    4.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

    A．Michael Jackson’s job.  　　B．How Michael Jackson performed.

    C．Michael Jackson’s great achievements.  D．Michael Jackson’s life.
