Chicago is known as the "Windy City". Some people think this is because of the breeze that blows almost continuously. The city is located in the state of Illinois on the shore of one of the Great Lakers, Lake Michigan, which is the fifth largest freshwater body in the world.
Skyscrapers are an important part of Chicago's history. The first skyscraper in the USA was built in the city in 1884. It was an impressive building with 10 floors. The skyscraper was pushed down in the end. Chicago is the home of other famous firsts. It was the birthplace of the refrigerated rail car, mail-order catalogs(目录), the car radio, the TV remote control, the first Ferrari wheel, the first steel rail road, the first planetarium(天文馆) in the Western Hemisphere. Chicago is also the home to the first blood bank and the first drive-in bank. It is also the home to Lincoln Park Zoo, the oldest public zoo in the USA. Maybe the windy city should be called the city of firsts.
Chicago is the third most populous city in the USA, after New York City and Los Angeles. A little more than two and a half million people live in the city that has more than 100 neighbourhoods. The former President Barack Obama used to live in Chicago.
Nearly 40 million people visit Chicago every year. Many of them visit the Willis Tower, formally known as the Sears Tower. It is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. It takes only a minute to get up to the 103rd floor Skydeck thanks to some of the fastest lifts in the world. From the Skydeck visitors can see four states: Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students Do you like to work together with others or work alone
The program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students' ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well in tests by themselves may also be better at working with other people. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, whose test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems.
But this was not right for every country. Chinese students having high scores showed just average(平均的) collaborative skills. "One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers pay too much attention to grades." said Zhao Zhongxin. "Students have a lot of exam pressure and they think of school as a place for competition."
"However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today's society." he added. "Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve these skills."
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls are better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitude(态度), which means they are more willing to listen to others' opinions. PISA also found that the classroom environment influences how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that need communication, such as class discussions, students have a better attitude towards collaborating.
32. What does the underlined word "collaborative" mean in Chinese
A. 求知的 B. 创造的 C. 合作的 D. 本能的
33. Which of the following was NOT one of the survey's findings
A Girls are better at working with others than boys.
B. Those who do well in tests may also be better at working with others.
C. The classroom environment can influence students' ability to work in groups.
D. Skills of working together are more important than scores to students' futures.
34. What is the best title for this passage
A. What is PISA B. Work well with others
C.A survey carried out by PISA D. One of Chinese students' problems

This week, the United States lost a beloved actor and funny man. Gene Wilder, the wild-haired star of unforgettable comedy films, died Monday at the age of 83.
Wilder was born on June 11, 1933. His father was a Russian emigre(流亡者). His mother was of Polish descent(波兰血统). When he was six, Wilder's mother suffered a heart attack that left her disabled. He soon began performing comedy at home to please his mother. He started taking acting classes at age 12. In 1961, he made his first Broadway appearance.

Gene Wilder started his acting career on the stage. However, millions of people knew him from his work in film. His movies with director Mel Brooks were especially famous. They included The Producers, Blazing Saddle and Young Frankenstein.
Wilder was a master at playing nervous characters trapped in impossible, but funny situations. In 1974's Young Frankenstein, Wilder's character tried to build a living person from the dead. Wilder played Leo Bloom in the 1968 film The producers, about a man who wanted to produce a high-cost failure on Broadway. Wilder could play cool-headed characters like the gunslinger in Blazing Saddles. He also made millions of child fans with his portrayal(画像) as the main character in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Gene Wilder was considered as one of the funniest and sweetest energies ever to take a truly great talent of the time. However, Wilder said in a 2013 interview that he was no comedian. He told interviewer Robert Osborne it was the biggest misunderstanding(误解) of him. "But l don't think I'm that funny. I think I can be in the movies."

How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students Do you like to work together with others or work alone
The program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students' ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well in tests by themselves may also be better at working with other people. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, whose test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems.
But this was not right for every country. Chinese students having high scores showed just average(平均的) collaborative skills. "One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers pay too much attention to grades." said Zhao Zhongxin. "Students have a lot of exam pressure and they think of school as a place for competition."
"However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today's society." he added. "Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve these skills."
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls are better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitude(态度), which means they are more willing to listen to others' opinions. PISA also found that the classroom environment influences how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that need communication, such as class discussions, students have a better attitude towards collaborating.
32. What does the underlined word "collaborative" mean in Chinese
A. 求知的 B. 创造的 C. 合作的 D. 本能的
33. Which of the following was NOT one of the survey's findings
A Girls are better at working with others than boys.
B. Those who do well in tests may also be better at working with others.
C. The classroom environment can influence students' ability to work in groups.
D. Skills of working together are more important than scores to students' futures.
34. What is the best title for this passage
A. What is PISA B. Work well with others
C.A survey carried out by PISA D. One of Chinese students' problems

This week, the United States lost a beloved actor and funny man. Gene Wilder, the wild-haired star of unforgettable comedy films, died Monday at the age of 83.
Wilder was born on June 11, 1933. His father was a Russian emigre(流亡者). His mother was of Polish descent(波兰血统). When he was six, Wilder's mother suffered a heart attack that left her disabled. He soon began performing comedy at home to please his mother. He started taking acting classes at age 12. In 1961, he made his first Broadway appearance. That is when he took on the professional name of Gene Wilder.
Gene Wilder started his acting career on the stage. However, millions of people knew him from his work in film. His movies with director Mel Brooks were especially famous. They included The Producers, Blazing Saddle and Young Frankenstein.
Wilder was a master at playing nervous characters trapped in impossible, but funny situations. In 1974's Young Frankenstein, Wilder's character tried to build a living person from the dead. Wilder played Leo Bloom in the 1968 film The producers, about a man who wanted to produce a high-cost failure on Broadway. Wilder could play cool-headed characters like the gunslinger in Blazing Saddles. He also made millions of child fans with his portrayal(画像) as the main character in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Gene Wilder was considered as one of the funniest and sweetest energies ever to take a truly great talent of the time. However, Wilder said in a 2013 interview that he was no comedian.
