WASHINGTON—There are more than 222million TVs in American homes. And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off.

Vespe is the head of the TV-Turnoff Network. the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week. For TV Turnoff week, American children are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year, it runs from April 23~29.“Our real message here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious（自觉的) decision,”said Vespe.

Vespe said that most of the children who go without television for a week go back to watching, but not so much.“They watch more selectively. They do more things as a family. It helps them put TV in its place.”One girl who is turning off her TV is Sarah Foote, 9.of Virginia. Sarah admits that it won’t be too hard to give up TV. She’s allowed to watch only educational television, and he favorite show from last year isn’t on any more.

Of course, there are plenty of things about TV: programs can be entertaining, even educational.

Even so, some experts aren’t sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer.

Susan Neuman, a university educator who studies children and reading ,says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their children are watching. They don’t set limits on TV watching. Also, in some families, TV might be the only thing to do.

What message does Sarah have for other children?

“It’s a very good idea. I spent a whole week without TV. It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV, because you don’t want TV taking up all of your time.”Sarah said.

When Kansas high school student Blake Hawkins discovered an empty locker at his school，he didn't just fill it with books and equipment—instead, the innovative teen turned it into a soda pop vending machine(自动售货机)．

Hawkins explains that the“Soda Locker”vending machine uses a coin acceptor，an LCD screen，a micro-controller board，a magnetic switch, some old video game switches，and bakeries．

Hawkins explains he had Valley Center High School’s support when he was developing the prototype，and was able to come up with a design that would not damage the existing locker．And he was able to do it for approximately $ 160 spent on parts．

The Soda Locker has a design where no one can remove the control board from the locker and the door swings shut after use to protect it．Furthermore, it’s programmed to take exact change only，and to let the operator know when someone is trying to cheat the coin system．

Hawkins explains he originally thought about the idea for having a soda pop vending machine in a locker a year ago on his way to history class．While he initially treated it as a joke，he has proven how you can take an idea and turn it into something brilliant．He wrote，“Whether you build your own Soda Locker or not，I hope you're inspired to build whatever project you’ve come up with!”

29. What can we learn about the Soda Locker made by Hawkins?

A．It looks nice．                 B．It is a combination．

Olivia Bouler

       No one is ever too young to make a difference.  36  Eleven-year-old Olivia was concerned about pollution in the Gulf of Mexico (墨西哥湾). She was especially concerned about the birds living along the coast. Olivia wanted to help and she had an idea about what she could do.

        37  “I’m no James Audubon,” she said, referring to an artist famous for his pictures of birds, “but I can draw.” Olivia felt her watercolors of birds were good enough that some people might buy them. She wondered if people would be even more likely to buy her artwork if they knew the money would be used to help birds on the Gulf Coast.

       Olivia got in touch with the National Audubon Society. This society honors James Audubon, the artist Olivia admires greatly, and it works to aid and save endangered birds.  38  That was because Olivia promised to create 500 original drawings.

With the National Audubon Society’s help, Olivia’s “Save the Gulf” campaign was announced.  39  America Online (AOL) news published an article about Olivia. Just three days after the story appeared, her project had already raised $20,000.

        40  She then completed a book project. The book, called Olivia’s Birds: Saving the Gulf, is a collection of her bird drawings. Each drawing includes facts about the pictured bird. Olivia hopes that her book will raise more awareness about the Gulf Coast birds that she loves so much.

A. Her story drew a great amount of attention.

B. Success inspired Olivia to work even harder.

C. Olivia Bouler has proved that beyond a doubt.

D. Olivia had always loved to draw and paint birds.

E. Olivia has raised close to $200,000 in the past few years.

F. The National Audubon Society was thrilled with Olivia’s offer to help.

G. Olivia shares information about her goals on a social networking website.

 If they win the final tonight，the team are going to tour around the city ________by  their

  enthusiastic supporters.

       A．being cheered                             B．be cheered

       C．to be cheered                                     D．were cheered

Dubai

    Dubai 61 (be) a 6,000-person fishing village half a century ago. Since 1966, when oil was discovered there, the population of Dubai has grown to 2.6 million. Over the years, it has become a well-known tourist destination.

     62  attracts tourists to Dubai are tax-free shopping, dry weather, excellent accommodations, delicious food and beaches that go on for miles. In fact, some foreigners come here only 63 (experience) the shopping. There are dozens of shopping malls, 64 (provide) every famous brand you can name. Those outdoor markets sell

everything from spices (香料）to gold   65 fair prices.

    Choosing what places to visit in Dubai is difficult, because even the hotels there are also amazing 66 (attract). The Burj A1 Arab is considered one of the world's best hotels, and 67   is  located on its own island, about 1,000 feet offshore from Dubai. Built in the  shape of  68  ship, this hotel is still  69 (tall) than the Eiffel Tower and nearly as tall  as the Empire State Building. Certainly, there are also other great

places of interest to visit.

     Indeed, travelling around this country will  70  (true) give you an amazing experience because of its interesting things offered to all types of tourists.

—I’ll go to France for a holiday next month.
—Great! __________!
  A. Good luck        B. Best wishes     C. Glad to see you again       D. Have a good time

    You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?

        Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.

        Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to listen to your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.

       Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and no other. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone.

        It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

24．The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means “_____”.

A. the type of music

B. the amount of a sound

C. the beat of a song

D. the color of an MP3 player 

25．We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music  _____ .

A. is not enjoyable                 B. makes us tired  

C. is bad for MP3 players      D. hurts our ears

26．It’s all right to use our MP3 player in __________.

A. schools   B. libraries   C. restaurants   D. museums

27．What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Music Lovers             B. Music Manners

C. MP3 Players               D. MP3 Earphones

China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government decides to implemented one-child policy. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages. Thus, people argue that two-child policy should be put into effect.

     First of all, two-child policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child. Put aside the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marry with an only child girl accidentally, the burden on their child and his wife is unimaginable heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two old couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult; if the pressure increasing twice, how can they stand it. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better.
      Secondly, two-child policy guarantee the number of Chinese population. As the widely spread of one-child policy, some people have changed their conception about giving birth. If they firmly believe one-child policy, there will be more and more the dink. After several decades, our country will be famous for lack of population.
      To sum up, one-child policy has out of date. And tow-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problem of nowadays and the future.

A group of homeless children in the Indian capital of New Delhi publish a newspaper telling about their own lives. It is called Balaknama, which means “children’s voice”.

The newspaper is written and edited by children up to 19 years old. About 10,000 people read it. The children write about poverty, child labor, underage marriages and drugs. When reports arrive, they sit down to select the story, and fights usually break out. They argue: this story will have more effect than that story. So there’re a lot of debates before the final selection goes to print.

The newspaper has 70 reporters in several states and 14 in the capital. All of the reporters, editors and managers are homeless children. Many of their parents are jobless and cannot read or write. The children now earn money, and many of them attend classes online.

The newpaper is published every month. It has eight pages. In 2002, when it began operations, the newspaper was published four times a year. It has changed the lives of many of the children who publish it, and hopes to improve the lives of thousands of others.

Non-governmental organizations and charity groups support the newspaper. Sanjay Gupta leads a group that helps the children and gives money to the newspaper. “They feel very encouraged when people appreciate them. When they talk to the officials and before the media, they gradually build up their self-confidence. I think Balaknama is a powerful tool for them. The newspaper costs about three cents. That is lower than the price of a small cup of tea in India. But the low cost gives the children hope that they will someday have a home and a job.”

5. What can we learn about reports in Balaknama?

A. They often cause disagreement.         

B. They all come from the capital.

C. They are chosen by managers directly.   

D. They are about the lives of children in India.

6. Which of the following about Balaknama is TRUE?

A. It is published every three months.      

B. It is designed for readers under 19.

C. It is operated by homeless children.     

D. It aims to help more children receive an education.

7. What can we learn from Sanjay Gupta’s words?

A. Balaknama helps children become confident.          

B. People usually read Balaknama while drinking tea.

C. The government should help Balaknama financially.  

D. The price of Balaknama is too low to support the children.
