Less than 60 percent of students now entering four­year American colleges are likely to graduate。

The completion rate is lower than almost any other wealthy country,and worst for poor and minority students。

On Tuesday President Obama gave a nationally broadcast speech to students about the importance of staying in school。

He spoke on the first day of classes at a high school in Virginia。

He talked about personal responsibility,and took himself as an example of someone who overcame difficulties.
“My father left my family when I was two years old，and I was raised by a single mother who had to work and struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in，” said President Obama.
But he told students that problems in their own lives should not stop them from learning。

“There’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher，or cutting class or dropping out of school。

There's no excuse for not trying。

”
This was not the first presidential speech to students。

Ronald Reagan spoke from the White House in 1988. And George H。

W。

Bush spoke from a school in Wash ington in 1991。

But many conservatives(保守派） criticized plans for the speech. Some called it “socialized education" or federal interference(干预）in local schools. Others feared it would be too political. Some schools decided not to show the speech。

But the White House released(公布） the text on Monday,and that calmed a lot of critics.
On Sunday，on the CBS program “Face the Nation"，Education Secretary Arne Duncan said 30 percent of students do not graduate from high school. He called the dropout rate “staggering(令人难以置信的）"。

It represents more than a million students every year who entered the ninth grade but did not complete the 12th grade.

Do you want a bit of an adventure？Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK,or travel abroad？Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well,read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.
Nothing is better than a motorhome。

It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable。

If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer,then the best choice is to book it early，especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months。

There are a lot of companies throughout the UK，and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country。

At present，the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorh ome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK，you may phone 0800612。

8719 for details of its motorhome hire information。

Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England，Scotland and Wales。

Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday,especially as flying now has become more expensive，and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no­fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly。

This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays。

travel to England

D。

hire a motorhome

B. Safe.
C. Useful. D。

Exciting。

7。

Why should you book a motorhome early if you want to book one for th is summer? A。

Booking early is much cheaper.
B. Summer is usually a very busy season.
C。

You can arrange your time better this way。

D. Students usually book them to earn money.

Are you having too much salt？You might not think so,but people in China eat on average about 12 grams of salt each day，that is much higher than the 6 grams suggested by the World Health Organization. You could be eating too much without realizing it，because about 75％of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy，such as bread，sauces，soups and sausages.
What problems can eating too much salt cause?To answer that question，first let's take a look at what salt is.
Salt is a chemical pound. It is made of sodium（钠）and chloride（氯化物）.Salt is used to keep and flavor foods。

A small amount of salt is important for good health because our bodies need sodium and chloride to work。

But past studies have found that people who eat more salt than they need tend to have high blood pressure。

Eating too much salt has also been connected with other conditions,such as heart and kidney(肾） problems。

If you want to cut down on salt,the good news is，there are plenty of simple things to do. Here are some tips:
Cut back on high salt foods。

Most foods contain some salt. But some foods such as cheese，bacon，pickles （泡菜），smoked fish and chips are almost always high in salt because of the way they are made. You can still enjoy them,but try to have these in smaller amounts,or eat them less often.
Choose reduced salt bread and breakfast cereals(谷物)。

Bread and breakfast cereals are major source of salt in the diet，not that they’re necessarily high in salt but because we eat a lot of them。

For these
foods，there can be a really big difference between different types and brands。

So next time you’re shopping，take the time to pare the salt levels on a few similar products. And always try to choose the ones lower in salt。

Avoid adding salt to cooking and at table。

Instead，you could use herbs and spices(香料) such as garlic（大蒜) and lemon juice to add flavor to meals。

9. Many people in China don’t realize they are eating too much salt because .
A。

salty foods taste better than reduced salt food
B。

they do not calculate the amount of salt they eat
C. about 3/4 of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy
D. few people experience problems from eating too much salt
10. For a healthier life，the author’s suggestion is to .
A. cut back on food with less salt
B. eat less heavily salted food
C。

eat as much reduced salt bread as is wanted
D. stop eating bread and breakfast cereals
11. What is the purpose of the article？
A. To warn people of food containing too much salt.
B。

To inform people of the right amount of salt taken each day.
C。

To advise people to be careful about the amount of salt they eat。

D。

To promote the right way to make reduced salt food.
D
Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to attest that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended。

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who were trained to keep them。

The people were part of the ten­year research project. They were taught
methods meant to improve their memory，thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.
More than 2，800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE—short for Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most were studied when they were more than 70 years old.
The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists。

Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed­of。

processing—speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group—the control group did not get any training.
Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now，leading study writer George Rebok says,the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.
Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed。

of.processing did better on tests than the control group。

“We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training,and in fact,that’s exactly what we found。

The effect on memory，however,seemed not to last as long. Still，the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group。

The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.
12. Which statement is FALSE according to the passage？
A. This kind of training can only have effects on people for a few years。

B。

The people were trained during a period of ten years.
C。

Most of the people who were studied were more than 70 years old.
D。

The first group were trained how to remember word lists。

13。

How would the old in the second group perform after receiving the training? A。

Remember more words.
B. Understand information more quickly.
C. Act as poorly as before。

D. Perform daily activities better。

14.What does the underlined word “attest” in the first paragraph mean?
A。

Affect。

B。

Deny。

C。

Prove。

D。

Improve.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？
A. Some Kinds of Mental Skills Naturally Decrease
B. Mental Training Helped Elderly Stay Sharp for Years
C。

Four Groups of Old People Were Trained Mentally
D. A Ten­year Research Affects Elderly

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have you ever been in a situation where you have done something just to make someone else happy？
You think that you are making yourself happy. 16 I have done that many times because I wanted to impress people or I thought that if I made someone else happy it would certainly make me happy。

I understand that all of us want our close friends and family to be proud of us,so we work hard in school or in our careers to meet their expectations。

17 But if you are trying to realize other people's dreams without keeping yourself satisfied，you will never be happy.
So you have to be clear and honest with yourself about what you want in your life. If you are honest with yourself,you will be more optimistic。

18 You feel like you won’t need to achieve something for someone else.
19 They fear to be rejected(排斥） by others. They think and say “If I choose this job or career path，that person will think I am out of my mind”，or “I really want to start this business but those people will think that I won’t make any money”. 20 Don’t think this way. If you follow other people’s wishes but cannot be true to yourself，you will have a hard time feeling great about yourself。

A。

The truth is that you are really trying to make someone else happy.
B。

So why don't I follow what they say？
C. And you will develop a drive from your heart。

D. So we should try our best to realize our dreams.
E. But we sometimes have to meet expectations from others。

F。

Why do so many people want to live their dreams for someone else?
G. There is nothing wrong with that.

Dear Mark,
I feel delighted to get your email.Knowing you are so interested in the Chinese Summer Camp to be held in our school from July 10th to July 30th this summer，I'd like to introduce it to you。

The content of the camp is as
follows.
Firstly，you will learn everyday Chinese by communicating with Chinese students.At the same time you will be taught Chinese by our experienced teachers，so that you can understand the meaning of Chinese characters.
Secondly，you will take part in different parties，where you will learn about Chinese history and culture，especially traditional Chinese festivals,which I think will impress you deeply.
What’s more,you will have chances to visit some museums and tour the Great Wall，experiencing the colorful culture of China and the greatness of the Great Wall。

I believe the Chinese Summer Camp will not only provide the chance for you to study Chinese，but also will promote the friendship between us.
