influence learning.The President will urge states to introduce high standards across all publicly funded early learning settings，develop new programs to improve opportunities and outcomes engage parents in their child's early learning and development，and improve the early education workforce.President Obama will reform America's public schools to deliver a 21st Century education that will prepare all children for success in the new global workplace.He will push to end the use of ineffective，“off－the－shelf”tests，and support new，state－of－the－art assessment and responsibility systems that

Believe it or not, you can make money at something that you are an expert in, and you need to know what that is.Remember, having an online empire does not mean that you have to do it alone.You can take your_friends along with you.Having a friend advertise your services online is a good way to attract more visitors to your empire.Building an online empire, you will have to be prepared to not only come up with creative ideas, but to carry your ideas through.Talk to people who have already succeeded in building their own empires.Talk to people who are struggling.Join a mailing list that will help you get through your struggle to achieve your goal.As you move forward, you will find that you can help other people, and you will have a good many stories to tell—not to mention a lot of money in the bank.If you learn the real secrets of creating a long term stable online business then you will have enough money to retire on.47．Which of the following would be the BEST title for this passage?A．Never get addicted to the InternetB．Building an online empire of your ownC．How to get help from an online empireD．How to offer help through an online empire48．The proverb “Rome wasn't built in a day” applies to a situation where________．A．expert knowledge is badly neededB．you are short of money at the beginningC．online wealth has to be gained bit by bitD．family and friends will oppose your idea49．In the 4th paragraph “your friends” are mentioned because________．A．they can buy what you are sellingB．they can help make your website popularC．your friends know more about the WebD．you have a good relationship with your friends50．Joining a mailing list is a good way to________．A．get a lot of helpB．write many emailsC．make more e friendsD．talk people into purchasing your productⅣ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)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。
