thousands more homeless. life is hard for the refugees who now live in special camps set up by the united nations high commission for refugees (unhcr). but there is some good news: more than 14,000 children in these camps go to school every day. many of the children are attending school for the first time in their lives. the jagir camp in balakot, located in pakistans north-west frontier province, looks a lot like the other camps scattered through the disaster region. nearly 70 families make their homes in small tents, and about 40 children attend schools. instead of individual classrooms for different grades, kids of all ages learn together in one big tent. they study subjects including the urdu and english languages, islamic religion, math, and social studies. the boys and girls feel grateful for the schools, sharing a small supply of books, pencils, and notepads. ten-year-old shozad lived in one of the areas hardest hit by the quake. he is recovering from a broken leg. “i lost my friends and schoolmates in the earthquake,” he said. “and going to school helps me think about other things for the moment. my favorite subject is drawing, especially flowers.” organizations like the unhcr hope to continue providing schooling for these eager students when they eventually return home.56. the underlined word “refugees” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _.a.

how and why did the names come into being? every months name tells a story. january is named after janus, a roman god described as having two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. as the god of doors, he had to watch out for friends and enemies coming from either direction. february is a form of februare, which was a roman festival. on that day, people begged the gods for healthy children and enough crops in the next year. march is named after mars, whom many people have read about as the god of wars. few people realize that at first mars was the god of springtime. fighters would “take the winter off” from fighting, resting while the weather was too bad for the battle. in the spring-around what we now think of as march battles would start again. from this time line, mars soon became more well known as the god of wars than of springtime. april is a mystery. experts argue a lot about the origin of it. may is also named after a goddess, maika. she was the goddess of plants, because plants often begin to have flowers in may. not every month kept the same name over the years. the first name for july was quintilis, “the fifth month”. august was at first called sextilis, “the sixth month”. likewise, september, october, november, and december were the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months. how did july and august get their new names? july was named after julius caesar, the first emperor of rome, after he was killed in 66 bc. august was named after augustus caesar, julius caesars nephew.60. the underlined phrase “rattle off” in paragraph 1 probably

the 9th grade, world cultures in the 10th grade, and us history in the 11th grade. therefore, students entering their senior year have usually accomplished the graduation requirements in history. however, even if the number of history credits (学分) has been completed, students often choose a sociology course as an academic addition in the fourth year. the class of this subject is a semester (学期) long. as a social science, this unit is only for the use in a sociology class. but it can be beneficial to other studies. for example, when studying slavery, students can treat black humor as a

show students how events of the past have a powerful effect on current and future customs in american culture. due to scheduling conflicts, not all juniors can take this meaningful course, sociology. for those students who choose this curriculum unit, it can serve as a guide and a researcher. for other students who have no chance to enroll in it, they can work by themselves on their project with the sociology teacher as their adviser. however, what they do should be similar to the lessons planned for the enrolled students.68. which of the following statements about the social science is true
