In the United States, sixteen, eighteen, and twenty-one are important ages in a person's life. There are no special celebrations for these birthdays, but each is a time when a person can do new things to mark their transition(转变) into adulthood.
After turning sixteen a person can work, get a driver's license and leave home. Many high school students learn to drive and get part-time jobs soon after celebrating their sixteenth birthday. At the age of eighteen a person in the United States can vote and smoke, but they are prohibited from going into nightclubs, buying wine or gambling(贿博) until they are twenty-one.
In many Latin(拉丁的) cultures, a young woman's fifteenth birthday is important. At this age, she is regarded as an adult. To mark this special day, families with teenage daughters have a celebration called a Quinceanera. The day begins with the young woman and her family going to church. Later, there is a party and many guests are invited.
In Japan, young people became adults at twenty. At this age, they can legally(合法地) vote, drink wine and smoke. The second Monday in January is a national holiday called "Coming of Age Day". On this day, twenty-year-old celebrates by first going to church to pray with their families. Later, they listen to speeches given by city and school leaders, Afterward, they may celebrate with family or friends late into the night.

You like rats? You must be kidding. Everyone hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friend.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue (营救，救援) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).Where do you think you can find this passage.
| A．In a magazine about toys. | B．In a history book. |
| C．In a newspaper about science. | D．In an advertisement. |
In the writer’s opinion, rats may become man’s new friend because ________.

Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．Rats don’t need electricity. |
| B．Rats are better than robots when smelling. |
| C．Rats are as clever as radios. |
| D．Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues. |
Which is the best title of this passage?
| A．Ways of saving people | B．Rats |
| C．Rescue dogs | D．Rats for rescue |
There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量，品质) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?
| A．Because they were born there. |
| B．Because it was a better educational town. |
| C．Because the writer began his fifth grade. |
| D．Because the writer didn’t need to take a test. |
How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?
| A．About 80. | B．About 160. |
| C．About 220. | D．About 300. |
What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?
| A．None of | B．The whole of |
| C．A large number of | D．A small number of |
Why can’t the writer forget Edison?
| A．Because he regards it as his hometown. |
| B．Because his parents got new jobs there. |
| C．Because there are many Asians there. |
| D．Because it is in the state of New Jersey. |
