For some, its a way to advance past their classmates. For most, summer school is a requirement in order to graduate with their classmates. I can remember being forced into taking a summer school course. It was not the school that forced me into this awkward situation; it was my mother.I was a 16-year-old kid in a new school. My school did not offer summer courses so I had to take my course at an alternative school in the city. It was an experience I will never forget. I was not concerned with making friends.

The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year,1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or Party secretaries in suburban areas. People interested in jobs in Beijings rural villages and townships can submit applications to the Beijing Municipal Personnel Bureau or online at www. Bjbys. com from February 1 through March 15. “We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and to start their careers,” Sun Zhenyu, deputy director of Beijing Personnel Bureau, told Xinhua News Agency. The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan( $ 250) in the first year, 2,500 yuan ($ 320) the second year and 3,000 yuan ($ 385) the third year, provided their performance is up to the required standards, Sun said. Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the citys countryside. After majoring in industrial and commercial administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijings Pinggu District. For one project, Wang contacted people at the Beijing Academy of Agricultural Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year. Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according to figures provided by the Ministry of Education. The ministry predicts that 4. 95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate. In Beijing, a record 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year. Less than half of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to the personnel bureau.41. The underlined word “recruit” in the first paragraph probably means_.A. employ B. force C. encourage D. train 42. We can see from the passage that_. A. once you are hired as a junior official, you can get an endlessly rising salary B. the government guarantee a gradually high salary for the successful candidates C. working as junior officials is easy but very meaningful D. the competition for the job as junior officials is very fierce 43. From the story of Wang Lina we can learn that_.A. the sooner you go to the countryside, the sooner you will be successfulB. local farmers can get big harvests if they learn more knowledgeC. university graduates can also realize their value in rural areas D. Wang had great difficulty in helping villagers planting organic strawberries44. The last two paragraphs aim to tell us that_.A. more and more graduates will work as junior officials B. the universities should not have so many students C. there are more and more graduates in recent years D. it is not easy for graduates to find jobs nowadays 45. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. What is the best career? B. Graduates go to the countryside. C. Job hunting for university graduates. D. A good choice for university graduates.C In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try. “What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition .46. What does this passage mainly talk about?ACompetition helps to set up self-respect.BOpinions about competition are different among people.CCompetition is harmful to personal quality development.DFailures are necessary experiences in competition. 47. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?AIt builds up a sense of duty.BIt pushes society forward.CIt improves personal abilities.DIt encourages individual efforts. 48. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _.Athose who try their best to win Bthose who value competition most highly Cthose who are against competition most strongly Dthose who rely on others most for success 49. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?AOnes worth lies in his performance compared with others.BOnes success in competition needs great efforts.COnes achievement is determined by his particular skills.DOnes success is based on how hard he has tried.50. Which point of view may the author agree to?AEvery effort should be paid back.BCompetition should be encouraged.CWinning should be a life-and-death matter.DFear of failure should be removed in competition. DBoys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music. Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to obey a stereotype（陈规旧俗），a US study says.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the boy code of hiding their emotions to be a real man. The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with boy-focused approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around. Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes, James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey a stereotype that men should be masterful and in charge in relationships. In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported. 51. The author believes that a single-sex school would _. A. force boys to hide their emotions to be real men B. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely C. help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys D. naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man 52. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _. A. perform relatively better B. grow up more healthily C. behave more responsibly D. receive a better education 53. What does Tony Little say about the British education system? A
