<passage>:
Among the Boys is a unique after-school program for boys living in the Highland Park neighborhood of our city. The organizational task is to provide males living in low-income and public housing with opportunities to discover their ability to change challenges into possibilities. The program includes an academic part as well as specific plans for supporting the overall development of the participants. Among the Boys uses painting as an instrument for helping boys examine their world, discuss it, and develop positive ways of handling the challenges they face daily. Young men present personal challenges to the group, such as a recent fight or the long-term drug abuse they observe in their neighborhood. After guided discussion, the youth work as a team, determining how to best represent the issue at hand in a painting. The resulting paintings and explanations of these paintings provided by the young people suggest that something profound  occurs through this process. These young men are learning a healthy way to express and cope with the pain and suffering they feel. Art serves as a healing process and a structured method of teaching teamwork, nonviolent values, conflict handling and problem-solving skills.
Activities in Among the Boys are in agreement with the best practices in the prevention of high-risk behavior. First, community-based youth development programs are considered important parts of a comprehensive prevention method, particularly in high-risk neighborhoods. Second, compensatory  education that targets at risk youth for academic failure is also considered an effective prevention method. Third, interventions  aimed at improving youth's moral reasoning, social problem-solving, and thinking skills are reported to be effective methods for reducing violence in high-risk populations, especially when carried out with elementary school-aged boys. Finally, Among the Boys has an adapted tutoring part, considered an effective prevention tool. Tutoring is typically a one-to-one match between a tutor and a youth, but Among the Boys employs what is referred to as "group tutoring." Among the Boys makes up for its high student-tutor ratio  with quality and quantity of time, as the program meets after school, on Saturdays, and all day during the summer, and is staffed primarily by males, an unusual quality among educational programs.
Among the Boys is rare and successful form of grassroots program, and represents the dream of a successful male who grew up in the Highland Park neighborhood and has returned to make a valuable contribution to his community.

<question>:
The founder of the program described in the passage   _  .

<options>:
A sought contributions to make his program successful
B designed the program for the same neighborhood in which he grew up
C is seeking reelection for the Highland Park community school board
D was a successful graduate of Among the Boys when he was a youth

<passage>:
Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs in the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experienced this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite . I was required to overcome all difficulties.
As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.
But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.

<question>:

<options>:
A paying a visit to Chile as a tourist
B experiencing Chilean life as a teacher
C studying Chilean culture as a college student

The weather predictions for Asia in 2050 read like a story from a _ movie.
Many experts and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a united global effort to hold back greenhouse gas outpouring.In the decades to come, Asia--home to more than half the world's 63 billion people--will change from one climate extreme to another, with tired farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels.
"It's not a pretty picture," said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam.Global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come.
Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come.Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters.According to predictions, icebergs will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become stronger and insects and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms.
All this comes on top of rising populations and demand for food, water and other resources.Experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will likely enlarge the results of climate change.
In what could be a sign of the future, Japan was hit by a record of 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two - thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill.
The year before, a winter cold strike and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India.

Zhang Yineng, a freshman at prefix = st1 /HangzhouUniversity, earned his first pot of gold by designing websites for American companies. Zhang never even met the people who hired him. Instead, all the necessary transactions  were done through myTino.com, a Hangzhou based online outsourcing network. Zhang has already earned enough money to pay for two semesters of university tuition.
Zhang is one of the growing number of college students tasting the fruit of globalization. They search for outsourcing projects in fields like programming, art design, translating and writing from both Western and domestic businesses.
This way of making money is becoming common among college students with free time, especially among those who are tech-savvy  . The payment for such work is rather high, partly because the tasks demand more skills than many other "traditional" part-time jobs do. For instance, creating a website for foreign companies pays $2,000 to $5,000, which is rather high.
The good money is just one benefit. These outsourcing jobs "can also help us to use the knowledge we gained in university," said Zhang. "Through the tasks assigned by the companies, I can easily find the key hot spots in my field, and what abilities I am lacking. By doing the tasks, I can improve my skills and gain experience."

Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find it out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne  , which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language _ the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.
The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.
In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender  , so adjectives   take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word "blond" describes someone with light-colored hair. "Blond" is used for men, and "blonde" describes women. And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The French phrase "a la mode" means "in style". In English, the phrase means "with the ice cream". Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!
Now, as you learn English, you're on your way to learning French!

<question>:
French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because  _  .

<options>:
A too many French moved to Britain
B French brought animals with them
C the king and his officials spoke French
D the king allowed French to be spoken

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find it out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne  , which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language _ the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.
The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.
In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender  , so adjectives   take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word "blond" describes someone with light-colored hair. "Blond" is used for men, and "blonde" describes women. And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The French phrase "a la mode" means "in style". In English, the phrase means "with the ice cream". Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!
Now, as you learn English, you're on your way to learning French!

<options>:
A no words have the same pronunciation
B all words have the same pronunciation
C English nouns have a male or female gender

<passage>:
In high school, George Lucas didn't do much work because he spent all his time dreaming about racing cars.
Just a few days before graduation, George was driving home from the library in his Fiat; he prepared for a left turn by looking in the minor. But as he started the turn, he heard the sound of another car, a blowing horn , and the speeding Chevy hit the driver side of his car. The little Fiat turned over four or five times before it was stopped by a big tree. Luckily, George did not die in the accident, but his recovery was slow and he needed months of physical treatment. He would never be able to race ears now.
The accident really changed George's life. He decided there must be some reason he survived, and made up his mind to get his act together and make something out of his life. He decided to go to university and developed an interest in reading and writing. He got on quite well in his studies. He didn't quite forget about racing cars. At that time instead of driving race cars, he began filming them.
You may have seen one or all of George Lucas's most famous films from the Star Wars series or the Indiana Jones trilogy. Not only has George produced movies, but also he has helped invent and develop new technologies to modernize the movie industry.
Today, Lucas, who earns as much as $3.0 billion, is one of the American film industry's most successful directors and producers.

WHAT'S the most important thing of life?
People's answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards,the answer is having a child."Nothing is more special than a child,"he told the BBC.
Edwards,the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization(IVF)technology--more commonly known as"testtube baby"technology--passed away on April 10 ,2013 at the age of 87.
Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice in the gift of their own child,"said Peter Braude,professor at King's College London."He leaves the world a much better place."
Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s,when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time,much of the public viewed test-tube babies as"scary",according to Mark Sauer,professor at Columbia University,US.
Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced _ from churches,governments and media,not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists."People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature,"Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt "quite alone" at the time.
"But Edwards was a fighter,and he believed in what he was doing,"said Sauer. Without support from the government,the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.
The first test-tube baby was born on July 25,1978.Her name was Louise Brown. Despite people's safety concerns,Brown was just as healthy as other children.
"IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun,"BBC commented.
Ever since then,public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging to Edwards' clinic. Nowadays,Reuters reports,some 4.3 million other"test-tube" children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II the following year.
Before his death,Edwards was still in touch with Louise."He is like a granddad to me,"she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
He is a granddad to millions, in fact.

<passage>:
Before I came to China, I had heard that, although North Americans eat more than Chinese, Chinese eat better. Since I have come to China, I have been able to experience these differences first-hand. A whole new world of food has been opened up to me.
   Along with these new experiences came the quite unexpected introduction to the rituals  associated with eating. For example, shortly after arriving, I was gently criticized for filling somebody's teacup all the way up instead of half way. This was a signal to the person that I desired that he leave.
   There may be mixed messages about what it means when you do something associated with food. But the fact is that there may be a message contained in the preparation, serving and consumption  of food in China. This was an idea that was totally new to me!
   More than one Chinese has made the comment to me that they were unhappy with the results of inviting a foreigner to a meal. They told me that the foreigner was not appreciative of the meal that was served to him or her and was hard to please.
   Having played the part of the foreigner at more than one Chinese  _ , I can understand where the misunderstandings come from. I myself have felt very uncomfortable during some of the dinners I have been invited to.
   One time I was invited to a dinner in a famous restaurant in Tianjin. Its menu was based on seafood. I was still  ly new to the concept   that your fish would be brought live to your table. In Canada you are never introduced to your meal before hand. Something we don't like is considering what our food looks before the actual consumption.
   However, having been in China for one year, I went along and helped point out some of the selections for the evening's meal. I hesitated at the scorpions , but swallowed my distaste and indeed found later that they were tasty.
   The meal was winding its way  along without any problems. Then they brought out the lobster . I looked at it and then looked at it again and noticed that it was still moving! It had been brought out live to show that our raw lobster was indeed very fresh.
   At that point, I nearly lost it. It took all my composure  for me to stay seated at the table and hurl  myself in the bathroom and bring up the contents of the previous dishes.
   Now the interesting thing is that when I tell that story to a foreigner, the reaction is always the same: Horror, sympathy, shock. When I tell the same story to Chinese, they don't understand my point of view. In fact, I often think that they believe that there is something truly wrong with me and not with the fact a lobster had been served live at the table.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajama's . Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.
All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the "night owl" schedule of sleep.
This is opposed to the "early bird" schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be _ as "night owls" and only 10 percent can be classified as "early birds" ------ the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.

<question>:
What does the text mainly talk about?

<options>:
A Functions of the body clock.
B The "night owl" phenomenon.
C Human beings' sleep behaviour.
D The school schedule of "early birds".

It's official, not making your bed keeps you healthy. Dust mites   present in everyone's home can cause asthma, but they can not live in the dry conditions of an unmade bed.
The average bed is home to one and a half million mites, and they cause a number of common allergies  , as they chomp away on human skin in the night; and then produce the allergens which we inhale  .
Dust mites grow in the warm humid conditions prevalent in the occupied bed, but they cannot multiply without moisture. So leaving the bed unmade during the day means that the water is not retained by the sheets, which means that the mites dehydrate   and die.
Researcher Dr. Stephen Pretlove who has developed a computer model to track how changes in the home can reduce a numbers of dust mites said, "We know that mites can only survive by taking in water from the atmosphere using small glands on the outside of their body."
In the next stage of their research, the scientists are putting mite pockets into beds in 36 houses around the United Kingdom. This will test the _ of the computer model and will investigate how people's daily routines affect mite populations.
Building features such as heating ventilation   and insulation   will also be adjustable to monitor how the mites cope and react to different atmospheres.
Dr. Pretlove said the research had potential to reduce the PS700 million spent treating mite-induced illnesses each year in the UK.
"Our findings could help building designers create healthy homes and health care workers point out environments most at risk from mites."
Dr. Matt Hallsworth, of the charity Asthma UK, said, "House-dust mite allergen can be an important trigger for many people with asthma, but at present many people find they are inevitable."

In the next stage of their research, the scientists are putting mite pockets into beds in 36 houses around the United Kingdom. This will test the _ of the computer model and will investigate how people's daily routines affect mite populations.
Building features such as heating ventilation   and insulation   will also be adjustable to monitor how the mites cope and react to different atmospheres.
Dr. Pretlove said the research had potential to reduce the PS700 million spent treating mite-induced illnesses each year in the UK.
"Our findings could help building designers create healthy homes and health care workers point out environments most at risk from mites."
Dr. Matt Hallsworth, of the charity Asthma UK, said, "House-dust mite allergen can be an important trigger for many people with asthma, but at present many people find they are inevitable."

It's official, not making your bed keeps you healthy. Dust mites   present in everyone's home can cause asthma, but they can not live in the dry conditions of an unmade bed.
The average bed is home to one and a half million mites, and they cause a number of common allergies  , as they chomp away on human skin in the night; and then produce the allergens which we inhale  .

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
Global warming happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earths atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows,but it can't get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth .The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can't get out. As a result,the temperature rises.
Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without _ ,the earth would be freezing,or it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because we would not get the sun's heat and light .During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter it,so people,plants,and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.
Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it,if there gets to be too many gases,the each can get unusually warmer, and many plants,animals.and people will die. Plants would die because they would not be able to take the heat .This would cause us to have less food to eat,and it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food for the animals that we need to survive we would even have less food. Gradually,people,plants,and animals would all die of hunger.
People are doing many things to try to stop global warming .One thing is carpooling--driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Another thing is being more careful about leaving electrical devices turned on. Now,more people are even riding buses or bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air .Although adults do many things to help stop global warming,kids call do just as much.

<question>:
What is the effect of atmosphere?

<options>:
A It only traps the heat of the sun.
B It does great harm to humans.
C It makes the earth neither too hot nor too cold.
D It prevents all the light from the sun shining on the earth.

<passage>:
I am a music store owner. One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. His short steps dragged on the carpet. "Is 77 too old to learn the banjo  ?" he asked.
"You can learn to play it well," I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I reached the instructor's schedule and gave the rates, the available time and the additional information that he would need. To my surprise and delight, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.
With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn't arrive one Tuesday.
The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. "Carl's in hospital," the voice recorded.
Two months later, I shared the newspaper _ with the banjo teacher. We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student.
Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. "This is for Carl's banjo teacher," she said. "I'm his wife, Mary."
"Why did Carl want to play the banjo?" I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Carl was at some show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl, 'You want to see this up close?' Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo." Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream! Mary gave the plant to Carl's banjo teacher. "Thank you for the best six months of his life," she said.

<question>:
How did Carl learn to play the banjo well?

<options>:
A By working hard.
B By taking short cuts.
C By asking his wife to help him.
D By finding the best teacher.
