Last August, 1 traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela，Honduras to help renovate（整修）a community centre, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at risk for problems later in life．
During my stay there, I had plenty of opportunities to interact and work with local children．One young boy in particular，Javier, 17, stood out for me. Later I realized that his father had left a year earlier for the U.S , and the family had not heard from him since then. Lacking of money, his mother had to find work elsewhere, but unfortunately could not afford to take all four children, so Javier with his little brother was left behind.
Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations. But the children tried their best to help out with the construction, and the building of this centre served as an important opportunity for them to learn from the adults·
I still remember the look in Javier’s eyes, as they welled up with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to console him，because he had already experienced so much loss, and it was hard to realize that our departure was adding to the list.
As I looked beyond Javier, I could see many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strength from. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took the responsibility for the care of their collective young.
In many north American cities we barely know our next door neighbors, let alone members of our community. How can people outside the family possibly play a central role in upbringing(养育)？What does the second Paragraph mainly talk about？
| A．Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks． |
| B．Javier established good relationship with the author and his team． |
| C．Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo． |
| D．Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy． |
When helping build the community centre, the children______．
| A．enjoyed staying with each other |
| B．enriched their social experiences |
| C．received education together with the adults |
| D．gained some benefits from the elders |
We can replace the underlined word “console” in the fourth paragraph with“______”.
| A．affect | B．comfort |
| C．inspire | D．Protect |
From the Passage，we can infer that the author is________.
| A．optimistic and ambitious |
| B．energetic and easy-going |
| C．considerate and responsible |
| D．determined and adventurous |
While Lee Kuan Yew is known throughout the world, few people outside the Chinese-language communities know the true meaning of Kuan Yew. In Chinese language, "kuan" means light, and "yew" means glory. So, Lee Kuan Yew means Lee the "light and glory".
Singapore's glory since its rebirth in 1965 has been a miracle, largely because of the light of Lee. By 1978, the transformation of Singapore into a modern city-state had become an inspiration for Deng Xiaoping, who having just emerged as the paramount leader of China was looking for a way to lead the country out of isolation and poverty. Drawing inspiration from Lee and the success story of Singapore, Deng visited the city-state in 1978 and met with Lee for the first time. Lee said that if Singaporeans can do it, China can also do it.
Soon after returning from Singapore, Deng launched a series of reforms in China. Over the subsequent decades, China has continued the reform and opening-up and it is now the second-largest economy in the world. Perhaps it could be said that part of the plan for China's great reform and transformation took shape in Singapore in 1978 during Deng's meetings with Lee. Ever since that fateful visit, China has learned from Singapore the finer points of governance, management and economic growth. No wonder, over the years China has sent many Party, government and corporate officials to receive training in Singapore.
In 1994, the Singapore Industrial Park in Suzhou, Jiangsu province (now renamed the Suzhou Industrial Park) was set up. Over the years, the industrial park has become a testing ground for many new reform programs in China, including those for social security, venture capital and private equity.
More recently, President Xi Jinping emphasized that China can still learn many things from Singapore.
Today, many people talk about the 21st century being the "Asian century" or the "Asia-Pacific century", while others have started talking of the "Asian dream". But Lee was one of the first Asians who truly stood out and demonstrated to the world that Asians can make a difference in terms of global growth and development. Lee's legacy is based on a solid and healthy dosage of pragmatism, realism, innovation, and commitment to making a better tomorrow.
After 50 years of constant innovation and ceaseless efforts, Singapore is the most developed country among the 10 ASEAN member states, one of the most developed countries in Asia and one of the most successful economies in the world. Rather than being caught up in the day-to-day travails, Lee always chose to stand on the top of the mountain and look beyond the horizon to see deep into the future, which made him a leader of wisdom, courage and vision. According to the passage, we can know ___________.
| A．Few people know the true meaning of “ Kuan Yew” in the world |
| B．The transformation of Singapore started in 1978 |
| C．Deng xiaoping paid a visit to Singapore in 1978 because of the good relationship |
| D．Deng Xiaoping had never met with Lee Kuan Yew before 1978 |
The following statements are true EXCEPT_____.
| A．the successful experience of Singapore has greatly influenced china’s reform and transformation |
| B．the Suzhou Industrial Park has tried many new reform programs in China |
| C．the Asians made few contributions to the global growth and development |

Nowadays more and more parents paid great attention to which school their children should be sent. The more famous the school is, the great desire the parents have it to send their children there. This also gives the school authorities great pressures on meeting the need of academic levels. On the one hand, the school wants very much to maintain it's popularity of high academic achievements, when on the other hand, they have to face the reality of the differences in their pupils. In this case, some schools choose to stream our pupils into different types according to their grades. And most schools still teach students in a traditional way, mixed-ability teaching methods, what has aroused some interest in education researchers.
