Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)In the current economic downturn, many American schools are adding a new subject to the curriculum（课程）; financial literacy. One program in Virginia even gets students out of the classroom for a day to learn how far their money will go in the real world. What looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of young people. Finance Park is a special facility where students apply what they have been taught in class about money management. “They become, essentially, adults for the day,” says Alice Reilly, social studies coordinator for Fairfax County Public Schools. “They are asked to develop a budget for 18 line items that you and I might have in our budget; things like utilities, insurance, groceries, housing.” Each budget item is represented by a storefront where students collect an option sheet. Students must refer to a card that shows their income and their family size, when they choose what to buy. Theres also a stock ticker so students can keep track of shares in their portfolios（投资组合）. The facility opened last year in Fairfax, Virginia. It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement USA, a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing young people for financial success. “Since the financial crisis, the demand for Finance Parks around the country has grown exponentially, says Ed Grenier, president of the Washington, DC chapter. We have a number under way in the planning and building stages.” Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular curriculum in Fairfax County.“Some students, some teachers, some schools did it, but now it is much more systematic, Reilly says, and it is much more consistent to ensure that all students get this background information.” That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will eventually spend a day here.Thirteen-year-old Sam says she has learned an important life lesson. “I didnt know how expensive everything would be.” Anthony, also 13, is looking forward to telling his parents what he learned. “Ill probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer and take my time to become an adult.” This isnt the end of financial studies for Anthony and the other students here. Virginia is one of 13 states which requires students to take a financial education in high school in order to graduate.65.What is the aim of this Finance Park?A . To raise enough money for the secondary schools in Virginia. B. To enable students to apply money management knowledge to practice. C. To provide students in Virginia with special chances for Advanced Placement. D. To direct students in Washington,D.C. to learn more about money management.66.Who is expected to spend a whole day in the Finance Park?A .Young people all over Virginia. B. Junior students in Washington,D.C. C. Eighth graders in Fairfax County. D. Eighth graders parents in Virginia. 67.What can we learn from this passage?A . Extra curriculum is necessary in secondary schools. B. Fairfax County Public Schools set a good example.C. An organization helps youth in U.S. for financial success. D. Financial Literacy is very popular in Washington,D.C.68.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A . Alice Reilly developed a budget for 18 items in the Finance Park. B. ED Grenier was against building more finance parks in U.S.A. C. Sam did quite well in managing his budge in the Finance Park. D. Anthony came to know that adult life wasnt as good as expected. (B) The American Family Immigration History Center is an exciting new interactive area at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum where more than 100 million Americans may search for their familys beginnings in the New World. Now, for the first time, the passengers records of the ships that landed some 22 million immigrants, crewmembers and other passengers at the Port of New York and Ellis Island from 1892 to 1924 have been computerized, making it easier than ever to discover your own family history. Five years in the making, the center was developed and funded by the Statue of the Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., which was responsible for the restoration and preservation of the Statue of the Liberty and Ellis Island, and the creation of the Immigration Museum. For visitors to the Museum, the excitement begins at a welcoming kiosk where you can enter ancestors names and see if their arrival records are included in the database and are available in the History
