(CNN News)-In his work for a humanitarian(人道主义)agency in Afghanistan, Lex Kassenberg asks an important question when he visits schoolchildren: What will you do when you grow up?“I want to be president,”is an answer Kassenberg often hears from girls.
But for all the admiration Kassenberg has for a youngster's ambition, the 53-year-old CARE aid worker knows that in Afghanistan, the idea of a female national leader remains unlikely to be realized in the immediate future. Only recently, women had suffered a lot under the rule of the militant(激进的)Taliban.
The importance of education, especially for girls, is not ignored by the Afghan people or humanitarian agencies trying to improve their living conditions. That's why the World Bank partnered with CARE to investigate how education can succeed when there are increasing violent attacks on Afghan schools.
“Knowledge on Fire”, CARE's education report made known to the public Monday, found that community-based schools are the most sound and workable in Afghanistan.“Education-related violence is an alarming trend in Afghanistan,”said Helene Gayle, president of CARE. “But this study suggests that an approach of building support for education at the local level can reduce the risks of attacks.”
Because government school are often associated with a Kabul administration viewed by the Taliban as a pupper(傀儡政府)of the United States, they are likely to be attacked, Kassenberg said. And schools built with reconstruction dollars are associated with the military. Between January 2006 and December 2008, 1,053 education-related attacks or threats were reported in Afghanistan, according to CARE. The number of incidents was almost three times as much as that in 2005.
The World Bank cooperated with CARE in order to .
A. know how to educate Afghan boys and girls successfully during the war.
B. know how to give money to Afghan boys and girls.
C. know the condition of education in Afghan schools.
D. know if the education of Afghan boys and girls is successful
The passage implied that .
A. Afghan people suffered a lot B. Afghan boys suffered little
C. Afghan girls didn't suffer at all D. Afghan girls suffered more than boys
Why have attacks on schools been on the rise since 2005?
A. The Taliban thought schools are connected with the military.
B. The Taliban thought the Kabul administration would cooperate with it.
C. The Taliban thought schools were built by the American government.
D. The Taliban thought schools were built with reconstruction dollars.
According to the last paragraph, attacks on Afghan schools in 2005 amounted to .
A. 670 B. 1, 053 C. over 1,700 D. about 350

Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班),which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant improvement in their reading skills.
Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide. K^S*5U.C

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan–-- Afghans burned tires and chanted “Death to America” after U.S troops fired Monday(April 12, 2010) on a civilian bus near Kandahar, killing four people and wounding more than a dozen. Afghanistan’s president accused NATO of breaking its commitment to safeguard civilian lives.
The attack angered Afghan officials and the public in Kandahar, the Taliban’s birthplace, and dealt a blow to U.S and NATO efforts to win popular support for a coming offensive to drive the insurgents(叛乱分子) from the biggest city in the south. NATO expressed regret for the loss of civilian lives and said it was investigating.
Nearly 200 Afghans blocked highway where the shooting occurred, burning tires, firing weapons and chanting “Death to America” and other slogans. They also called for the ouster (forcing somebody out of a pasition) of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a Kandahar native who has been appealing for the people here to support the U.S-led campaign against the Taliban.
“The Americans are constantly killing our civilians and the government is not demanding an explanation,” protester Mohammad Razaq said. “We demand justice from the Karzai government and the punishment of those soldiers responsible.”
Kandahar, a city of about a half million people, is nominally under government control, but the Taliban have stepped up infiltration(浸润), staging attacks and threatening local people.
“These foreigners have their enemies, but killing Afghans is not the answer,” said Abdul Hadi, who sells homemade herbal medicine in a public market. He said international forces should publish a schedule of their patrols(巡逻) so Afghans can keep out of the way.
“Better yet, I would like to see them leave Afghanistan,” he added.
Haji Zahir, who runs a transport firm, said it was time for U.S. and other foreign forces to withdraw from the country.
“They say they want to bring security. It is all lies, lies. They kill Afghans. That is not the way to bring security,” Zahir said.
46.According to the passage, we can safely conclude that____________.
A.American soldiers are killing Talibans effectively
B.Anger rises as US troops kill 4 Afghans on a bus
C.NATO expressed great dissatisfaction with American troops
D.Afghan President Hamid Karzai required NATO to withdraw
47.The underlined word in Paragraph 5 nominally most probably means____________.
A.completely unknown to the people in the world
B.partially well-known to the people across the globe
C.bearing the name of a famous person around the world
D.officially described as something, when this is not really true
48.As for NATO soldiers’ rude action, Abdul Hadi is ____________.
A.absolutely angry and upset B.a little pleased but impatient
C.very angry and dissatisfied D.impatient but bearable
49.We can infer from the passage that____________
A.NATO troops can completely control Afghanistan
B.NATO troops can bring security to Afghanistan
C.Afghans will accept NATO’s control sooner or later
D.it’s impossible for NATO to conquer Afghanistan and its people
50.Which statement is true according to the passage?
A.NATO fails to win popular support for a coming offensive.
B.Kandahar is the most important city in Afghanistan.
C.NATO has really brought security to Afghanistan.
D.NATO troops will withdraw from Afghanistan in the near future.
