are, of course, all americans. and according to a survey by social networking site badoo. com, they all best illustrate the word “cool”.but just what does it mean to say someone is “cool”? most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.yale university art professor robert farris thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century west african philosophy.“cool” relates to ideas of grace under pressure.“in africa,” he writes, “coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.”the modern idea of “cool” developed largely in the us in the period after world war.“post-war cool was in part an expression of war-weariness(厌战).it went against the strict social rules of the time,” write sociologists dick pountain and david robins incool rules: anatomy of an attitude.but it was the american actor james dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movierebel without a cause.dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities.he always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies(欺凌弱小者).in the movie, dean showed what “cool” would mean to american young people for the next 60 years.today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics stars.often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom.this can be seen quite clearly in movies likevarsity blues and john tucker must die.but many teenagers also think being smart is cool.chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.“call it the harry potterization of americaa time when being smart is the new cool,” writes journalist joe sunnen.26. barack obama, lady gaga and steve jobs are

starting a bank a childs play? absolutely, if you ask some ambitious youngsters in india, who have not only managed to establish one, but also, unlike many of the large international banks, run it successfully since 2001. whats even more impressive is that the young bankers and their 9,000 customers are all homeless!the childrens development khazana opened its first branch in 2001 at a homeless shelter in new delhi as a way to help street children protect their hard-earned money from thieves. since then, the idea has caught on like wildfire.today, khazana has 12 branches all across new delhi, with a total of rupees 12 lakh (about 22,000 usd) in deposits. not only that, there are now 77 affiliated (附属的) branches in other parts of asia, ranging from nepal, bangladesh and afghanistan to the island of sri lanka and even, kyrgyzstan in central asia. while no deposit or balance is too small for the bank, they do have strict regulations about where the money is earned from. funds obtained by begging or selling drugs are not welcomed at this bank!also, unlike the real banks, all employees are volunteers, which means that they go to school or a paying job during the day and work at the bank in the evening. to make sure that everybody gets a chance to participate in running the branch, two volunteer managers are elected from the customer base every six months.karan, the current manager, is just 14 years old. during the day he earns a living by helping out the cleaning crew at wedding banquets and other big parties. in the evening, he handles the deposits and withdrawals in the bank. after the bank closes, he along with an adult volunteer from the shelter heads over to a regular bank and deposits the funds collected into khazanas interest-bearing bank account.and, though it started with one single purpose, the childrens development khazana is a well-developed bank, one where kids can not only deposit money which earns them 5% interest, but also, request loans for family emergencies, to start a business or even to pay for school.31. the initial aim of starting the childrens development khazana is to _.a. provide jobs for homeless children b. safeguard homeless childrens moneyc. help homeless people in an emergency d. sponsor homeless children to go to school32. how is the childrens development khazsna different from regular banks?a. it

daily visit to the regular bank alone.b. he has a paying job for a living during the day.c. he is an adult working for the bank manager. d. he has worked in the bank for six months. 34. according to

better service than before35. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to introduce a special organization.b. to tell us an interesting story.c. to encourage us to set up banks.d. to advise us to care about children.c besides the pain, what bothered yang zhihong the most during an operation were the female nurses in the operation room. “it couldnt be more embarrassing,” said the 23-year-old senior student from beijing foreign studies university, who underwent an operation at peking university third hospital in march, for reasons of hygiene. “i just felt uneasy with women around me and my pants off, even if theyre there to help with my operation.” that wasnt the first time yang thought there should be more male nurses in the hospital. “for a physical examination on private parts, it would be better to be helped by nurses of the same gender,” he added. while their numbers have increased in recent years, male nurses still only account for less than 1% of all nurses in china, according to the ministry of health. in the united states and many european countries, the percentage of male nurses is around 10%, beijing peking university first hospital head nurse deng jun said during a forum focusing on male nurses. “we need to come up with more male nurses to meet the deficiency for male nurses in china,” he said. “the lack of male nurses is mainly due to the misconception that a nursing job is a disgraceful job requiring no technical skills with a comparatively poor salary,” deng said. “people hold the belief that men are too clumsy to clean a patients body or take care of the sick. however, male nurses possess some unique features.” in some high-pressure and fast-paced working environments, such as operating rooms or emergency rooms, male nurses definitely have an advantage as well, deng said. “its difficult for a female nurse to turn over a paralyzed patient by herself in an intensive care unit. and during natural disasters, earthquakes for example, male nurses also play a vital role in rescuing victims and providing healthcare in a dangerous environment.”men make up only 1,900 of the 69,000 registered nurses in the capital, and they mainly work in the departments that are “labor-demanding”, according to the beijing municipal health bureau. “ive seen so many male nurses quit or resign in the past few years,” he said. “with a basic salary of around 1,500 yuan, most male nurses simply find themselves cornered.” “many students even reject their identity as a male nurse, out of the long-existing discrimination,” zhao said. “but nursing truly needs the male because of their rational thinking, physical strength and calmness in face of emergency and disasters.” nothing will change “until the public changes its attitude and nurses pay is raised”, he said. 36. according to the passage, yang zhihong _.a. felt embarrassed to talk with women in hospitalb. felt disappointed about the female nurses workc. felt it embarrassing to have such an operation d. felt shy to be served by female nurses during the operation37. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. china faces difficulty in employing male nursesb. nurses are encouraged to serve patients of the same genderc. male nurses are more skilled than female nursesd. the salary of nurses is increasing gradually in china38. the underlined word “deficiency” in paragraph 7 means _.a. requirementb. shortagec. paymentd. challenge39. a large number of men refuse to be a nurse partly because _.a. they think nurses should get paid more than doctorsb. they think it too tiring to work as a nursec. they are afraid that they will be looked down upon d. they are afraid that they are unable to look after patients40. what can we learn from the passage？a. male nurses will be much more popular than female nurses in china.b. of all the registered nurses in beijing male nurses make up more than 2%.c. the percentage of male nurses in the european countries is 90%. d. female nurses tend to keep calmer in face of emergency than male nurses. dliah kaminer remembers hearing the shock from the audience when two seniors rapped the words “raise your hand like a nazi” at a school assembly during her sophomore year.it wasnt the only instance of anti-semitism (反犹太主义) that kaminer, 17, of hall high school in connecticut, says she witnessed at her school. there were other comments, like a boy asking two other students in her class if they were jewish. when they replied that they werent, he said, “oh, good.” kaminer recalled. he patted them on their backs and said, “youre one of us.”kaminer, who is jewish, said she was hurt by the remark, and after a while she got tired of seeing such comments swept under the rug(小毛毯). so she decided to take action.after reaching out to the administration and connecting with social studies department supervisor stephen armstrong, kaminer and armstrong put together a class on anti-semitism. they presented it to every ninth-grade social studies class during the last week of school this year. in the class, kaminer and armstrong showed a clip from the abc show, what would you do? where actors portrayed a jewish couple and a bakery employee who yelled at them with anti-semitic comments. they had class discussions about what stereotypes(模式化观念) students had heard.“i was a little surprised and confused by how much of this still goes on at hall.” armstrong said. “thats why were doing this. although students are taught about the holocaust (大屠杀) in history classes, its a pity that kids are seldom asked to think about this topic in a present-day situation.”“the fact that a teenager was teaching her fellow students made the class more effective.” armstrong said. “i could have done it a couple of classes i did it myself but it was a lot more effective when a kid was with me. it wasnt just some teacher talking. it was a kid who had experienced some of the stuff very personally.”41.the author mentioned one of liah kaminers shocking memories during her sophomore year to _.a. show how anti-jewish most students at her school areb. show that anti-jewish feelings exist among some students in her schoolc. complain about the poor management of her schoold. introduce a school activity that she used to take part in42. the underlined phrase “seeing such comments swept under the rug” probably means _.a. finding people

throughout the school43. according to stephen armstrong, liah kaminer _ in the class on anti-semitism.a. did most of the teachingb. taught her classmates about the holocaust of world war iic. used her personal experience to correct peoples stereotypesd. mainly explained common misunderstandings about jewish people44. we can infer from the article that _.a. todays american kids know little about the history of the nazis and the jewish peopleb. armstrong believed the special class made the students have a better understanding of anti-semitism at the schoolc. teenager-teaching methods will become popular at the school because of the success of the special classd. armstrong had already noticed the problem of anti-semitism before kaminer turned to him45. which of the following could be the best
