      You may have heard the term “the American Dream”.In 1848, James W.Marshall found gold

in California and people began having golden dreams.That 19th century “American Dream" motivated(激发) the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the "Golden State".

   The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors(采矿者)but also waves of

immigrants throughout that century and the next.People from Europe, and a large number of

Chinese, arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the

streets.But most.instead, worked as railroad laborers.They created the oldest Chinatown, in San

Francisco, and gave the city a Chinese name "the old gold hill".

In the 20th century, some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous through determination and hard work. Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination almost made the American Dream a nightmare(噩梦).

Then, in the 1990s, California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley.People poured

their energy into the Internet. This new chapter of the American Dream attracted many business people and young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortune in America.

Better pay, a nice house, and a rising standard of living will always be attractive.However, the

new American Dream .is no longer just about money.It encourages Americans to consume wisely to protect the environment, improve the quality of life, and promote social justice(正义,公正).

   The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the model of the new

American Dream.After years of hard work, he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a

super movie star and then a governor. Many people hope his story can save the American Dream

and give California a brighter future.

1.It can be inferred that_____________.

   A.America' s golden dream could never be realized

   B.America's golden dream had bought great fortune to Chinese immigrants

   C.different times have different themes of the American dream

   D.determination and hard work are the best way to realize the American dream

2.Why did most of the early immigrants work as railroad laborers?

   A.Because they could earn more money as railroad laborers?

      B.Because they had to make a living by working as railroad laborers.

      C.Because they thought railroad was the first step to find gold.

      D.Because railroad laborers were greatly honored at that time.

3.The underlined sentence “his story can save the American Dream” (in the last paragraph) indicates that_____________.

      A.the dream of seeking fortunate in America is easy to realize

      B.most of the immigrants to America don’t reach their previous goals

      C.the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger is among the common examples of the immigrants

      D.the immigrants have made great contributions to California

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

      A.Wave of Immigrants to America

      B.Make Fortunes Abroad

      C.Hard Work Leads to Success

      D.Changes of America’s Golden Dream

Have you ever thought, “I wish I could take a year off and just travel around the world”? Well,

three lucky American teenagers were able to do just that.The teens—two males and one female--got an all-expenses paid, yearlong hike to five continents.

      This trip didn’t include any five-star hotels or shopping funs.Eighteen-year-old Jamie Fiel

from Keller, Texas, 17-year-old Arsen Ewing from Canyon, California, and 16-year-old Tyler Robinson from Lincoln, Massachusetts, didn’t expect fancy treatment.They signed up for the experience of a lifetime, which included hard work, often uncomfortable accommodations, and encounters with(遭遇) some of nature’s most dangerous animals and environments.

Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler were among hundreds of high school kids nominated by their science

teachers to take this trip.Earthwatch Institute sponsored this adventure.Each year, Earthwatch employs thousands of volunteers worldwide to help with scientific research projects.

The group went all around the world to get a close look at the most pressing environmental

issues of our time.Their assignments were as varied as their locations, and included measuring and attending pink flamingos in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, and tracking giant sea turtles in Costa Rica.

As they worked with the Earthwatch scientists, Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler began to understand

that we are at a critical moment in the life of our planet.Time for change is running out.As the teens went from country to country and witnessed different environmental dangers and challenges, they understood that solutions to important environmental issues start with the power of one person's actions.They realized that each of them can make a difference.

1.These teenagers went on the journey around the world _____.

      A.to experience the most serous environmental problems on the earth

      B.to bring the kindness of America to the other parts of the world

      C.to go on sightseeing around the world

      D.to call on more teenagers to join Earthwatch Institute

2.What’s true about their journey?

      A.They had to pay for their journey at their own expense.

      B.They often had to move from one hotel to another.

      C.They had to take great pains to collect environmental information.

      D.They received a warm welcome every time they arrived at a new place.

3.It can be inferred that Earthwatch Institute could be _____.

      A.an international university that takes in students from all over the world

      B.a TV station that makes programmes on the beautiful scenery of the earth

      C.a travel agency that organizes adventure trips specially for school children

      D.an organization that brings science to life for people concerned about the earth’s environment

4.What did they these teenagers learn from the journey?

      A.It was high time that people protected the environment.

      B.Long journey was not suitable for school children.

      C.It should take the whole world to help the children.

      D.Environmental problems can be solved if school children take part.

      How much can environment affect intelligence? In one study, striking increases in IQ occurred

in 25 children who were moved from an orphanage(孤儿院) to more stimulating(使人兴奋的,使人振奋的) environments.The children, who were all considered mentally retarded and unadoptable, were moved to an institution where they received personal attention from adults.Later, these supposedly retarded children were adopted by parents who gave them love, a family ,and a stimulating home environment.The children gained an average of 29 IQ points.For one child, the increase was an amazing 58 points.A second group of initially less "retarded" children, who stayed in the orphanage, lost an average of 26 IQ points.

      Other encouraging results can be found in early childhood education programs, which provide

stimulating intellectual experiences for disadvantaged children.In one study, children from low-income families were given enriched environments from early infancy(婴儿期) through preschool.By age 2 their IQ scores were already higher than those in a control group.More important, they were still 5 points higher seven years later.High-quality enrichment programs such as Head Start can prevent children from falling behind in school.

      A particularly striking environmental effect is the fact that 14 nations have shown average IQ

gains of from 5 to 25 points during the last 30 years.These IQ boosts, averaging 15 points, occurred in far too short a time for genetics to explain them.It is more likely that the gains reflect environmental forces, such as improved education, nutrition, and living in a technologically complex society.

1.What's the main idea of this passage

      A.Retarded children cannot improve their IQ's.

      B.Orphanages are full of mentally retarded children.

      C.Environmental factors influence a child's IQ.

      D.Early childhood education programs are important.

2.The author is in favor of _____________ according to the passage.

      A.putting retarded children into institutions

      B.providing early childhood education programs

      C.keeping children in orphanages

      D.keeping retarded children with others like themselves

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an environmental factor that affects IQ       .

      A.Good nutrition.                                 B.Improved technology.

      C.Better education.                               D.Food pollution.

4.What can we conclude from the passage ?

      A.Attention from parents has little effect on a child's IQ.

      B.Head Start programs are a waste of money.

      C.Increases in IQ have happened in the US more rapidly than elsewhere.

      D.Genetics are less important than environment in gaining one's IQ.

      Most scientists are now certain that global warming is taking place.Gases such as carbon

dioxide produced by burning of coal, oil, wood, together with industrial pollution, are creating a

warm blanket around the earth.This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere and so raising the

temperature of the earth.

      The evidence for global warming can now be seen in the world’s changing climate statistics.In

Europe, eight of the last ten years have seen record high temperature.For northern Europe, this has

generally been a change for the better.Gardens can even now grow tropical(热带的) plants in

England, though London may never see a “White Christmas” again.On the other hand, the

countries around the Mediterranean Sea, and those south of the Sahara desert are receiving even

less rain than before.In sub-Saharan Africa the crops are drying out in the fields and people are

dying of starvation.In the Americas, the climate is becoming more extreme ---the summers are

getting hotter and hotter and the storms are becoming more violent.In 1999 the southern United

States was struck by a series of destructive hurricanes, while the end of 1999 saw the worst floods

ever in Venezuela.Meteorologists(气象学家) expect such trends to continue, and indeed to

worsen, if global warming cannot be halted(终止).

In addition to worrying about rising global temperatures and more extreme weather conditions,

scientists are closely monitoring(监测)sea levels around the world.These are slowly rising, as the northern and southern polar ice-caps start to melt.This will have serious consequences for low-lying countries near the sea, such as the coral islands in the Pacific, and Bangladesh where the River Ganges already folds the delta(三角洲) every year.Already parts of these places are disappearing under the rising tides.
