The English Fashion recently asked people about their wonderful ideas and plans about things they could do．The magazine asked people the following question, “If you had all the money you wanted, what would you like to do?” About 500 people answered the survey question．
Almost half (49%) of the people in the survey said they would buy material things such as a bigger house or a better car．One fifth (20%) of the people said they would travel to the interesting or famous places．17% answered that they would give money to someone else．They would donate money to a charity or to help poor people．More than half of the rest of the people (about 10%) said they would give money to help medical research(医学研究)．All the other people in the English Fashion survey said they would save money in the bank．They said they didn’t know what they would like to do right now, but perhaps in a few years they would find a good use for the money．
“Lots of people think that if they buy bigger and better things, they will feel happier,” said Dr Mary Wilson. “ However,” she said, “this feeling will not last(持续) long．After a while, they won’t be happy with them any longer．” Dr Wilson thinks the happiest people are those who make a change in people’s lives．She thinks those people who give money to someone else or to medical research are thinking more of others at the moment．If they had all the money theywanted, they would change the world．What is the English Fashion?

Good parent – teacher communication is necessary for a child’s success in school. Recent studies show that the more actively parents are involved (参与) in the child’s school life. The better the child does in his studies.
Like all relationships, parents and teachers affect each other, but the person who is most affected is the child. What they need to understand is that the educational success depends on many things, including the ability of the parents and teacher to know his needs and what he likes, and encourage him.
When a child’s teacher and parents work together in the best interests (利益) of the child, he may feel able to learn, but, more importantly, also feel supported.
Education is about much more than just academic (学术) success. We must use the parent-teacher relationship to help a child grow and learn. So, how should parents and teacher work together?
It doesn’t require a change in the school subjects. It simply means that they should work together to help make lessons practical (与实际结合) . For instance, if a child is learning about money at school and the teacher takes the time to communicate this to the parents, the parent can take the child to the store to practice what he is learning at school. At the store, he has to pick out a thing he can afford to buy, take out the right amount of money to pay for it and check to make sure the clerk has given him the right amount of change. Doing this can help him to learn about the world in which he lives. This is how good parent-teacher communication supports the parent, teacher and, finally, the child.Who is most affected by the parent-teacher relationship?
| A．The child | B．The parents. |
| C．The child’s friends. | D．the teachers |
Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
| A．To develop a good parent-teacher relationship, some school subjects need to be changed. |
| B．Education is just about academic success. |
| C．It is only teachers’ duty to teach children about money. |
| D．With parent and teachers caring for the child, he may feel supported. |
The underlined word, “change”, in the last paragraph means in Chinese.
| A．商品 | B．课程 |
| C．变化 | D．零钱 |
The author’s purpose of giving the example in the last paragraph is to tell us that .
| A．parent and teachers should work together to help make the child’s lessons practical. |
| B．Parents play an important role in educating children. |
| C．children should not learn about money at school. |
| D．Parents should take the child to the store often. |

Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time - at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals, dolpins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The penguin shot and wounded Jack.
