    Several parents and children escaped the summer heat and enjoyed a refreshing “Leap Into a Good Book”．About 30 children and parents gathered as volunteers for both agencies.
    After the readings，refreshments (点心) were offered and children and parents were given books，a gift bag and a bookmark with information on adult literacy (读写能力) programs.
    Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.and Even Start coordinated the event with hopes that combining their programs will help target functionally illiterate adults and their families.A functionally illiterate adult is one who has reading skills below a seventh­grade level.That often means they have difficulty filling out job applications，understanding a lease，reading medication labels or to their children.
    Merelin Hernandez,9，a fourth­grader at Warrington Elementary School，understands the importance of reading.She also says it makes her happy when she is bored.“Reading helps me go to another grade，”she says.“I feel proud when I get a B because then I know I am reading well.”Monae Walker,7，a student at Oakcrest Elementary School，says reading teaches her and makes her happy.
    Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.provides one­on­one tutoring for basic reading and writing skills to adults 16 and older who are not in school.Tutors go through a 12­hour workshop and tutor their students 3 hours per week.The program currently has 150 active tutors.
    Even Start is a family education program at McMillan Learning Center，which offers adult education classes and infant，toddler and prekindergarten services at no cost to families.Linda Harris，a teacher in charge of the Escambia Even Start program，says the program equips parents so they can help their children.

    With limited pocket money in hand，many Chinese college students are increasingly opting to live life “low cost”．One way to save money is team­buying.Online team­buying offers huge discounts and becomes popular on campus.
    Li Jing，a student at China Youth University for Political Sciences，for example，says she often buys movie tickets on team­buying websites.But while they offer a good opportunity to save money，Li said she would “think twice before buying them from online stores”．Because many of them are “a bit chaotic (混乱的)”，and have fake goods mixed among them.Then why don’t the students just earn more pocket money by taking up part­time jobs？Guo Na，a teacher at the Communication University of China，said most college students were unlikely to choose work­study programs to earn pocket money because of their intensive study schedules.
    A kind of card called “VELO” has become another ideal choice for many money savers.It provides all­round discounts while dining out or shopping in general.Cao Zuyang，a student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China，often searches for sales online and buys things together with friends to cut down on costs.Cao once wanted to buy an electro­magnetic oven (电磁炉)，which was on sale at a shopping website.He then asked five dormitory roommates to pitch in for the oven.Each student only paid 25 yuan.
    Most students find it difficult to deal with the expense of accommodation while traveling.So they choose to travel to cities where they have friends and live in their dorms.For instance，Ge Rui，a student at the Hebei University of Technology，has been to many cities where he has friends.“Friends can act as free guides，offer me free accommodation，give me valuable tour information，and broaden my mind at the same time，” he said.He also had friends from other cities coming over and living with him when they visited his city.
    小题1:What does the writer mainly tell us?
    A．The ways of saving money on campus.
    B．Online team­buying becomes popular.

    小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    B．Most college students earn more pocket money by taking up part­time jobs.
    C．It’s not a good idea to ask five roommates to buy one oven together.
    D．You should think twice before buying something from online stores.
    小题3:From the passage，we can know that________.
    A．most students dislike traveling because of the expense
    B．Guo Na is against students taking up part­time jobs
    C．Cao Zuyang succeeds in saving money
    D．students are charged for half price when traveling

    Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
    Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
    The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.
    小题1:What were the demonstrators protesting about?
    [A] Private profits.
    [B]Nuclear Power Station.
    [C] The project of nuclear power construction.
    [D] Public peril.
    小题2:Who had gas-masks?
    [A] Everybody.
    [B]A part of the protestors.
    [C] Policemen.
    [D] Both B and C.
    小题3:.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration?
    [A] Public transportation.
    [B]Public peril.
    [C] Pollution.
    [D] Disposal of wastes.
    小题4:.With whom were the jails and courts overloaded?
    [A] With prisoners.
    [B]With arrested demonstrators.
    [C] With criminals.
    [D] With protestors.
    小题5:What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project and the demonstration?
    [A] stubborn.
    [B]insistent.
    [C] insolvable.
    [D] remissible.

    A quarter of US adults say they read no books at all in the past year, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos survey. The typical person said that he / she read four books in the last year and, excluding those who had not read any books at all, the usual number of books read was seven.
    Of those who did read, women and pensioners (领养老金者) were the most eager readers, and religious works and popular fiction were the top choices. The number of books read was nine books for women and five for men. The number also showed that those with college degrees read the most, and people aged 50 and over read more than those who are younger.
    People from the West and Midwest are more likely to have read at least one book in the past year. Southerners who do read tend to read more books — mostly religious books and romance novels — than people from other regions.
    Those who said they never attend religious services read nearly twice as many books as those who attend frequently, but the Bible and religious works were read by two thirds of the people in the survey, more than all the other categories. Popular fiction, histories, biographies and mysteries took up about half, while one in five read romance novels. Politics, poetry and classical literature were named by fewer than 5% of readers. More women than men read every major category of books except for history and biography books. Men tend to prefer non-fiction.
    Book sales in the US have been flat in recent years and are expected to stay that way, which, experts think, results from competition from the Internet and other media, and the unsteady economy.
    小题1:The passage mainly tells us ______.
    A．the number of Americans who read books last year dropped
    B．the book sales in the US have been dropping in recent years
    C．the reasons why one in four Americans read no books last year
    D．about region differences in the number and kind of books read last year
    小题2:Which kind of Americans read the most last year according to the survey?
    A．Older men with college degrees from the South.
    B．Older women with college degrees from the South.
    C．Younger educated men from the Midwest.
    D．Younger educated women from the West.
    小题3:What kind of books was read most according to the passage?
    A．Religious works.B．Popular fiction.
    C．Poetry.D．History.
    小题4:Which of the following reasons why people read fewer books is true?

    ②. Competition from other media.
    ③. The unsteady economy.
