Meal Plans

Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not part of the breakfast. Dinners are usually made up of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee

American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don't select too many subjects, or you'll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.
【1】What does the underline word “select” mean?
A. Choose B. Like C. Treat D. Take

Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.
One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the "Sol-4". "It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker. "
The "Sol-4" works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.
The cooker is also much "friendlier" than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals (人)would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.
At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.
Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem. Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.
【1】This passage is mainly about _______ .
A. solar cooker B. smoke pollution C. solar power experts D. breathing illnesses
【2】The "Sol-4" is mainly used to _______ .
A. shorten the time of cooking
B. reduce the cost of making cookers
C. raise money through donations to help African people
D. reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke
【3】Which of the following about the "Sol-4" is TRUE?
A. It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.
B. It can work in any weather condition now.
C. It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.
D. It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.
【4】From the passage, we can infer that _______ .
A. the "Sol-4" will be designed in a smaller size
B. more Africans can use the solar cookers in the future
C. the "Sol-4" is the first product of the South African company
D. the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers

A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement. Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical(古典的) art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A Professor in music and music education at the University of NSW. Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage(遗产)because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack(缺乏)of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist(专业的)music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
"I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing,” Professor Walker says. "But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films."
"At least children should know what's happening in Western culture. It’s part of culture heritage," he says. "Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the west."
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief (首席的) examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum (课程) in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study, such as the Mendelssohn's.
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible," he says.
【1】What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion?
A. Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
B. Classical music education isn't valued in schools.
C. Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D. Australia schools need more specialist music teachers.
【2】According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is________.
A. part of culture heritage B. good for their growing up
C. difficult to play and sing D. popular only in Asia
【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker?
A. He worries about the music education in schools.
B. He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed.
C. He is well known in Western classical music teaching.
D. He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.
【4】From the last paragraph, we can learn that .
A. Music teachers should teach anything that they like.
B. Most Children today are brought up by their music teachers.
C. Music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all.
D. Children's music education today depends on their teacher's taste.
