in 1502, he saw many indians wearing gold earrings. so he thought the land must be rich in gold. he named the place costa rica, which means “rich coast” in spanish.though little gold was found, costa rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. coffee is the most important product in costa rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like america and germany. bananas are the countrys second most important export.costa ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. costa ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.education is very important to the costa ricans. almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. classes begin in march and end in november. the other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1.whats the main idea of the first paragraph?a. how columbus found costa rica.b. how costa rica got its name.c. what the costa ricans wore.d. what language the costa ricans spoke.2.the costa ricans may not paint their houses _.a. pink and red b. grey and blackc. blue and green d. yellow and orange3.in costa rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen _.a. must go to schoolb. study in the same schoolc. do not have to go to school at alld. can choose to stop schooling at any time4.from december to february, school children in costa rica _.a. have lessons every dayb. have their examinationsc. help their parents pick coffee beansd. help their parents decorate their houses5.this passage is mainly about _.a. christopher columbusb. costa ricac. some products from costa ricad. the education of costa ricabwhen the tv viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? you might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but thats not the case. in most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. u.s. figures are high-34.8% , and the unloving canadians are even higher with 44%. except canada and italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news , documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. in japan though , more than 60%of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of anther-just another example of the businesslike japanese philosophy. in the u.k., the figure is 56.4% . the italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. they dont go in for entertainment either. only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports etc. you will find more news information programs on italian tv than anything else. thats understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. italians rely on tv to tell them whats going on-and events are happening almost too fast to follow. the percentage of time the u.s. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. after education, most tv time is given to entertainment. many of these programs are shown around the world.1.based on this passage, the greatest percentage of tv broadcasting hours to educational is in _.a. japan b. italy c. canada d. the united states2.more news information programs are broadcast on italian tv than anywhere else because the italians _.a. are interested in what is happening in the world.b. like to follow the changes that are going on in their social life c. prefer to learn news information on tv rather than in newspapersd. expect tv to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their country3.so far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainment , which of the following is true?a. the japanese figure is the highest in the world.b. the u.s. figure is smaller than the u. k. figurec. the u.k. figure is second to the japanese figured. the canadian figure is higher than that of any other country.4.in the united states, _.a. tv programs are shown for world audience to watch b. most of tv broadcasting hours are give to entertainmentc. educational programs are shown during peak viewing times d.tv broadcasting hours devoted to education are more than those devoted to entertainment cwork is a part of living my grandparents understood that. they lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. they raised chickens for eggs , pigs and cattle for meat . cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which grandma made butter and cheese. what little yard they had became a garden.the depression, therefore, didnt make much change in their lives. but it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. the first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. he took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadnt eaten for a while. grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “theres a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). ive been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence . you have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch .”grandma said a surprising thing happened. the man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. she set another place at the table and made an apple pie. during lunch, the stranger didnt say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” grandpa later told me.soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. this one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. grandpa came out when he heard voices. he looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” there is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn ive been meaning to get it moved. itd sure be a help to me . and wed be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” the fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. then he set off to work.grandma says she doesnt remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.1when he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that .a. he had found a good job b. he would have something to eat c. he would no longer suffer from the depressiond. he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect 2the writers grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .a. he didnt want them to have a meal free of charge b. he had been needing to get it moved c. he wanted to help them in his own way d. he wanted to show them his kindness and respect 3the writers grandfather was all of the following but .a. kind b. thoughtful c. wealthy d. sympathetic 4the best title for the story would be .a. the depressionb. the pleasure of helping others c. no pains, no gains d. work-a part of living dits high time someone spoke up for todays college students. theyre probably the most hardworking, ambitious people in america and their problems are not properly appreciated. people like the secretary of education simply dont know what theyre talking about when they knock students. nor do those who complain about falling academic standards. the vast majority of the nations 12 million students are struggling to pay for their educations. they are part of the invisible workforce. many hold down full-time jobs. theyre frying hamburgers, photographing weddings, working in construction, and waiting on tables. the fact that they even show up for classes is a wonderful event. the financial situation of most students explains a lot about what is happening in schools. why are the traditional courses so unpopular? why are students flocking to accounting and computer science and any professional programs that seem to lead to careers? answer: todays working student has been forced into a kind of premature matter-of-fact way of viewing things. romance is gone. the notion of transforming ones self through study alone has disappeared. todays students seek freedom from manual labor, and the status conferred by a good job. there are other consequences. todays students dont have much time or energy to be devoted, and carry
