| A. Name of the same history textbook. B. Benefits of sharing the same textbook. C. The origin of the idea of the same history book. D. The dislike for each other. E. The same history textbook in France and Germany F. Reasons for the hatred between France and Germany . |
High—school students in France and Germany are to learn modern history from the same textbook starting in the 2012 school year. It’s thought that the new book will help the next generation of the French and Germans develop a shared European identity. The book, called “Historie/Geschichte”, the French and German words for history, was co-written by historians from both countries. It will provide students from both sides of the Rhine(莱茵河) with the different explanations of their common history.
The idea for the books came about in 2008, when high school students from both countries celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Elysee Treaty(爱丽舍条约)， a friendship agreement signed to show that France and Germany had buried their post—war differences. The students’ suggestion soon got strong support from both governments. “The big lesson is that hatred won’t last forever,” said French Education Minister Gilles de Robien. “This book allows us to create a shared future and build on our past,” he added.
However, the French and Germans both have their own different origins, styles and culture. According to a survey by leading French newspaper Le Figaro (费加罗报)，the French regard Germans as being highly disciplined and hard-working, while the Germans see the French as proud and shallow. So they don’t like each other.
Conflicts between France and Germany have been existing over the years. The defeated power was robbed of its resources. Things were at the top in the two world wars, which further damaged relations. Many people lost their families, and hatred increased. Europe was seriously damaged by the conflicts.
The wars’ bitter lessons told the two powers that they needed to unite in order to rise to their feet. Now France and Germany have put an end to their age-old rivalry(敌对状态)，and they try to work together as the engines driving Europe forward. “The book is another milestone in Franco-German relations,” Peter Miler, a German official said. He said that it’s the first time that two nations have sat down and written history together. “If France and Germany can do it, why shouldn’t other countries follow suit?”

-- Sometimes it’s just impossible to understand.
-- The more you listen to English, the easier it becomes.
-- That’s easier said than done!
-- Then you can listen to Radio Beijing or VOA English programmes on the radio.
-- Do you think that would help?
-- And why not buy some English tapes and some books to go with them? I’m sure you’ll find them useful.
-- Yes, that’s a good idea. But I have another difficulty. _
-- Oh! Well, for that, you’d better find an English pen friend.

根据短文内容，从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
| A． How can you select your test location（地址）? B． How many times do you plan to take the test? C． When do you have to hand in your test scores? D． What is the most appropriate test date for you? E． Where do you stand in your high school coursework? F． What are the factors determining your choice of test time? |
The ACT is offered nationally several times a year, between September and June． However, it's not offered at every test center on each test date． If you need to take the ACT on a day other than Saturday because of religious reasons, you’ll want to be especially attentive in selecting a test date because the non-Saturday dates are less frequent and are held at fewer test centers．
One of the first things you should find out, then, is where the ACT is being offered in your area． A quick and easy way to get that information is by accessing ACT's website at www．actstudent．org． Or your high school guidance counselor should be able to give you that information． It's also printed in the booklet Registering for the ACT, which is avail
able free from your school counselor． Often, your own or a neighboring school will serve as a test center．
One important decision you need to make is whether you should take the ACT during your junior or your senior year in high school． A number of factors will affect this decision． First, you should find out when colleges you're interested in need to have your test scores． Is there a specia
l program or scholarship for which you want to apply? If so, is there a deadline by which you need to have test scores submitted to the college or agency? Score reports are normally mailed about 3-7 weeks after the test date． Just be sure you're doing everything, including taking the ACT, early enough to keep all your options open．
Another consideration in deciding when to take the ACT is where you stand in your high school coursework． If you're in a college-prep program and taking a lot of courses in English, mathematics, and science in your sophomore and junior years, it may be wise for you to take the ACT in your junior year, while those subjects are still fresh in your memory． If, on the other hand, you're studying material covered on the ACT during your senior year, it's reasonable to assume that your performance on the ACT might be better then．
Perhaps you'll decide to take the ACT more than once, in hopes of improving your score． In that case, it's probably better to take the exam in your junior year to allow time for a second try． There are several advantages to taking the ACT in your ju
nior year: （i） You probably will have completed much of the coursework corresponding to the material covered on the ACT． （ii）You'll have your ACT scores and other information in time to help make decisions about your final year of high school coursework． （iii） You'll have your ACT scores and information from colleges in time to make decisions about visiting campuses or contacting schools．

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.
So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.
Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet?
