Does Jay Belong in a textbook?
The fact that there are pop lyrics (明星作品) in textbooks show’s that students’ tastes are now being considered.
Yin Yue: Pop singers represent a part of our culture. That popular songs are selected for our books is a sign of progress. What’s more, this move will bring pop culture in contact with traditional culture.
Yu Kuntian: It’s not a bad idea. Pop songs in Chinese textbooks show that the authorities are trying to cater for teenagers. It may not have been a good idea to choose Jay Chou, but it is a start.
Pop songs in textbooks will mislead students.
Li Ning: It’s terrible. What we need are classics to improve our literary skills, not badly-written lyrics. As far as I am concerned, they have no place in our formal studies.
Teng Fan: I don’t think it’s a good idea. When educators include Jay Chou’s songs in Chinese textbooks, they are saying that he represents a literary standard to aspire (渴望) to. Also, including his lyrics means excluding work of more obvious merits(价值)。

One possible version:
Lisa was running late.Lisa,25,had a lot to do at work,plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown.But as she hurried down the subway stairs,she started to feel uncomfortably warm.By the time she got to the platform,Lisa felt weak and tired-maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before,she thought.She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away,Frank,43,and his girlfriend,Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop.They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream,followed by someone yelling,“Oh,my God,she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate.He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails.“No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed.By the time Frank reached Lisa,he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming.The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her.She was just out.But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge.That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness,felt herself being pulled along the ground,and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed.A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.And she tried to talk but she couldn’t,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived,and Frank told the story to an officer.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which made her think about her reaction at the time.“I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die,” she explained.
What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?
A.She had run a long way. |
B.She felt hot in the subway. |
C.She had done a lot of work. |
D.She had donated blood the night before. |
Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
A.Because they would miss their train. |
B.Because he didn’t see the train coming. |
C.Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift. |
D.Because she was afraid the train would kill him. |
How did Frank save Lisa?
A.By lifting her to the platform. |
B.By helping her rise to her feet. |
C.By pulling her along the ground. |
D.By dragging her away from the edge. |
The passage is intended to ________.
A.warn us of the danger in the subway |

D.report a traffic accident |
Historians say Harriet Tubman was born in the year 1820.Nobody really knows. But we do know that Harriet Tubman was one of the bravest women ever born in the United States.
From a very early age,Harriet knew how slaves suffered. At six years old,she was sent to the fields. Working outside not only made her body strong but also made her learn about the Underground Railroad,on which she helped hundreds of people escape from slavery later. She also learned many things from the other slaves,which one day would help her lead her people to freedom. She became more of a rebel (反叛者).
In 1844,at about age 24,she married a free black man named John Tubman. By now,Harriet was sure she wanted to try to escape. Suddenly,the time came. Her owner died. Though opposed by her husband,she decided to escape. With the help of the Underground Railroad,and through a variety of suffering she finally crossed the border into Pennsylvania,where slavery was banned.
Now that Harriet was free,she did not forget the hundreds of other slaves back in Maryland. Harriet traveled back and forth eighteen times,helping about 300 slaves escape into free territory. She became an expert at hiding from slave hunters. The people she helped called her Moses. At one time,anyone finding Harriet was promised $40,000 for catching her-dead or alive.
During the Civil War,Harriet Tubman went into enemy territory to spy for the North. She also served as a nurse. After four years of bloody fighting,the North won the war.
After the fighting ended,Harriet Tubman returned to Auburn,New York. She kept working. She traveled and gave speeches to raise money for better education for black children. She also worked for women’s rights and housing. Harriet Tubman died in 1913.She was about 93 years old. By that time,she was recognized as an American hero. The United States government gave a funeral with military honors for the woman known as Moses.
Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A new study suggests that the way to weight loss may be clear.A couple of glasses of water before meals help dieters lose about 5 pounds more than those who do not drink water.While drinking water before a meal may fill a person up,the contents of their meal are important as well.Should a person be eating a low-fat diet or a lowcarbohydrate (低糖的) diet? Or does it matter at all?
Recent research suggests that one diet isn’t any better than the other.A few weeks before the water study,another concluded that lowfat and lowcarbohydrate diets tied in weight loss.While the lowcarbohydrate dieters did show a slight increase in good cholesterol (胆固醇) and a reduction in blood pressure,there was not much difference in the dieters’weight loss.The point here is that the person had to stick to the diet.What helps a person see a diet through? It could be body type.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association,as reported by Timemagazine,found that body shape is the key to which diet a person will be able to stick with.Apples are people who carry most of their weight above the belt,while pears carry their weight around their hips (臀部).Apple types were more likely to be highinsulin secretors (高胰岛素分泌者) who respond more strongly to carbohydrates in their bodies.They lost the most weight on a lowcarbohydrate diet.Pears were lowinsulin secretors who lost the same amount of weight on both diets.Unstable (不稳定的) insulin levels can create stronger hunger senses,causing the apple types to go off their diet plans.
All of these studies again come down to choosing the diet that helps you eat less.The bodytype diet does make some sense as men are more likely to be apple types,with larger stomachs,and tend to do well on higherprotein diets,while women,who tend to carry weight around their hips,find themselves drawn to the lowfat diets.The reality is if a diet is failing you try another one.A plan you can’t,or won’t,stick to will never work,no matter what the research says.
If you want to lose weight but don’t know what diet suits you,you can always ________.
A.drink a few cups of water after each meal |
B.drink a few cups of water before each meal |
C.eat plenty of pears |
D.eat plenty of apples |
Compared with a lowcarbohydrate dieter,a lowfat dieter may ________.
A.lose weight faster |
B.put on weight faster |
C.have less good cholesterol |
D.have a lower blood pressure |
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Women on highprotein diets usually do well in weight loss. |
B.Men on highcarbohydrate diets usually do well in weight loss. |
C.Men usually like eating apples while women mostly enjoy pears. |
D.Whether a person can stick with a diet depends largely on his or her body shape. |
In the author’s opinion,________.
A.men don’t get hungry as easily as women |
B.apple types work better than pear types in weight loss |
C.the result of the recent research is not of much value |
D.strong will as well as proper methods is the key to weight loss |

Iceland is the latest country to want to become an EU member.It applied in July 2009 and the talks began in July 2010.But progress will depend on whether Iceland can deal with a longrunning problem with the UK and the Netherlands.But some Icelanders think they would be better off outside the EU,fearing the EU’s effect on their traditional fishing.
