READING 1
It was an unf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orgettable field trip. 26 fifth-graders from George Bancroft Elementary School went to the White House on Friday. They used farming tools to help First Lady Michelle Obama break ground on a new fruit and vegetable garden, which is an L-shaped patch near the fountain on the South Lawn. Many crops will be planted there.
Bancroft students are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )experienced gardeners. They already garden at school. Their work at the White House has just begun. On Friday, students prepared the soil by digging up grass and roots. Mrs Obama helped. “Are we done yet ”she joked at one point. “I want to plant. Let’s harvest something. ”But Bancroft students know that gardening takes time. They will come back next month to plant seedlings. They’ll harvest the crops in June.
Mrs Obama said ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that the purpose of the garden is to make sure that her family, White House staff and guests eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Mrs Obama has also said that she hopes the new White House garden will help educate Americans about the importance of fresh, nutritious food at a time when obesity(肥胖) is a national crisis. A diet high in natural, unprocessed foods can help people keep a healthy weight.
Mrs Obama said ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) she has found her daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, like vegetables more if they taste good. “Especially if they took part in planting and picking it, they were much more curious about giving it a try, ”she said.
When Bancroft ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) students come back to the White House this summer they will get to taste the fruits and vegetables they helped to grow. After they harvest the crops they will cook and eat them in the White House kitchen.

Sailing arou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd the world is one of the most difficult adventures of all time. People must fight storms, pirates (海盗), illness and fear for months to survive the difficult environment at sea.
However, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )17-year-old Zac Sunderland recently became the youngest person in history to sail around the world alone. Zac grew up in Southern California, US. A year and a half ago, he had a dream to sail around the world. To make his dream come true, Zac used the money he had earned from summer jobs and bought himself a sailboat. He named his boat Intrepid.
His paren ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts had hoped he would find something that would create a fire in him, a passion(激情) that would direct him away from all the bad things in society. But even they were surprised by his dream.
On June 14, 20 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )08, Zac left the port of Marina del Rey and headed west. He celebrated his 17th birthday on November 29 while off the Cape of Good Hope in Africa!
It was o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n July 16, 2009 that the teenager finally returned back home to dry land at the end of his voyage.
“It’s bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n a crazy 13 months and… yeah, it’s great to finally get back here, ”said Zac.
Now he wan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts to write a book about his adventures. He hopes they will inspire young people to get motivated(上进的)about their lives.
“Society puts you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nger people aged 15 through 18 in kind of a box. No one’s really expected to do much. You know, they just tend to go to high school and play football and that’s pretty much it, ”he said.
“There’s s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o much more that people can do with the right motivation(动力) and the right ambition(雄心)in life so… my thing would just be to get out there and do hard things. Go for it. ”

Overj ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oyed at having shaken hands with US President Barack Obama, Chen Xiao wrote a new MSN message line: “Hands won’t be washed for a few days. ” Chen and 500 other college students met Obama in Shanghai. Obama, who is the first US president to visit China in the first year of office, was friendly and approachable to the young people.
As they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pursued individual success, Obama urged Chinese college students to ask themselves the question: “Can I do it differently ”He shared his own experience with the audience.
In additi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on to “constantly trying to improve and to think in new ways”, he said that students should think not only of themselves but of something larger.
He said: “I think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so many of us, we get caught up with wanting to make money for ourselves and have a nice car and have a nice house and—all those things are important, but the people who really make their mark on the world is because they have a bigger ambition. ”
“They say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), how can I feed hungry people Or, how can I help teach children who don’t have an education Or, how can I bring about peaceful resolution（解决方案）of conflicts Those are the people I think who end up making such a big difference in the world. ”
During his talk, Ob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ama said that “young people are the best ambassador”. To foster（增强）understanding between the younger generations of China and the US, the President said his country would further expand its youth exchanges with China. According to the joint（联合的）statement in the next four years over 100, 000 American students will come to China to study. More Chinese students will be encouraged to study in the US, too.
This may suggest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Chinese students that it will become easier to study in the US.
“The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) US visa application and scholarship policies are tight. I hope I’ll benefit from the Obama administration’s move, ”said Xu Wanjing, 15, from Shanghai Shangnan High School, who is working hard for the SATs(美国高考）.

Many peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple think it would be a very enjoyable thing to go to high school in America. But if they knew what an AP（Advanced Placement, 大学预科课程）week was like, they might change their minds.
The AP cour ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ses are college courses, but are offered at high schools to allow capable（有能力的）students to get college credits（学分）. This year, I took AP Chemistry, AP Biology and AP Calculus（微积分）. English is an optional（可选的）AP, but I decided to take the exam anyway. I also took AP Statistics and AP Physics exams. This was actually a pretty tough schedule.
Students taking AP e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xams panicked during the AP week. I went to chemistry extra help every day to do extra problems in order to get bonus points（加分）that could be counted as final grades. The calculus students did one practice test each day, an excellent idea that really prepared us for the exam. Biology students had a 10-minute-quiz at the beginning of each class, and in order not to fail it, each person needed to do a lot of reviewing because there were so many things to memorize.
I also had to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )squeeze （挤进）in time to read Barron’s Statistics and Physics and had to accept the consequences when I failed the practice tests at the back of the book. I got just five hours of sleep a night before the AP exams. My friends and I talked about the APs all the time—in the dining hall, on our way to our classrooms or on our way to the dorm. The floor of my room was covered with AP materials.
The two week ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s went by quickly but also slowly. The effort that students put into the APs was no less than the effort people back home put into the college entrance examinations. Every student had to prepare very hard, all year for the final exams. However, even though they were hard times, I miss them for all the excitement and the feeling for life that they gave me.
1. The point of the article is to ________ .

Imagine you are at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people How do you start a conversation Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (标签). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn’t quite hap ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries inf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ormation specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step bac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k:10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.
RFID tags are a smal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits. When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.
1. The article is intended to .
A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D. predict the applications of RFID technology
2. We know from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people .
A. will have no trouble getting data about others
B. will have more energy for conversation
C. will have more time to make friends
D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer
3. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of .
A. scanning devices B. radio waves C. batteries D. chips
4. Why are some people worried about RFID technology
A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B. Because market competition will become more fierce.
C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.
D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
5. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology .
A. will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B. will be widely used, including for buying milk
C. will be limited to communication uses
D. will probably be used for pop music

Obama, who is the first US president to visit China in the first year of office, was friendly and approachable to the young people.
As they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pursued individual success, Obama urged Chinese college students to ask themselves the question: “Can I do it differently ”He shared his own experience with the audience.
In additi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on to “constantly trying to improve and to think in new ways”, he said that students should think not only of themselves but of something larger.
He said: “I think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so many of us, we get caught up with wanting to make money for ourselves and have a nice car and have a nice house and—all those things are important, but the people who really make their mark on the world is because they have a bigger ambition. ”
“They say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), how can I feed hungry people Or, how can I help teach children who don’t have an education Or, how can I bring about peaceful resolution（解决方案）of conflicts Those are the people I think who end up making such a big difference in the world. ”
During his talk, Ob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ama said that “young people are the best ambassador”. To foster（增强）understanding between the younger generations of China and the US, the President said his country would further expand its youth exchanges with China. According to the joint（联合的）statement in the next four years over 100, 000 American students will come to China to study. More Chinese students will be encouraged to study in the US, too.
This may suggest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Chinese students that it will become easier to study in the US.
“The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) US visa application and scholarship policies are tight. I hope I’ll benefit from the Obama administration’s move, ”said Xu Wanjing, 15, from Shanghai Shangnan High School, who is working hard for the SATs(美国高考）.

Many peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple think it would be a very enjoyable thing to go to high school in America. But if they knew what an AP（Advanced Placement, 大学预科课程）week was like, they might change their minds.
The AP cour ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ses are college courses, but are offered at high schools to allow capable（有能力的）students to get college credits（学分）. This year, I took AP Chemistry, AP Biology and AP Calculus（微积分）. English is an optional（可选的）AP, but I decided to take the exam anyway. I also took AP Statistics and AP Physics exams. This was actually a pretty tough schedule.
Students taking AP e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xams panicked during the AP week. I went to chemistry extra help every day to do extra problems in order to get bonus points（加分）that could be counted as final grades. The calculus students did one practice test each day, an excellent idea that really prepared us for the exam. Biology students had a 10-minute-quiz at the beginning of each class, and in order not to fail it, each person needed to do a lot of reviewing because there were so many things to memorize.
I also had to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )squeeze （挤进）in time to read Barron’s Statistics and Physics and had to accept the consequences when I failed the practice tests at the back of the book. I got just five hours of sleep a night before the AP exams. My friends and I talked about the APs all the time—in the dining hall, on our way to our classrooms or on our way to the dorm. The floor of my room was covered with AP materials.
The two week ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s went by quickly but also slowly. The effort that students put into the APs was no less than the effort people back home put into the college entrance examinations. Every student had to prepare very hard, all year for the final exams. However, even though they were hard times, I miss them for all the excitement and the feeling for life that they gave me.

A. encourage students to go to America to attend high school

Imagine you are at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people How do you start a conversation Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (标签). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn’t quite hap ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries inf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ormation specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step bac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k:10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.
RFID tags are a smal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits. When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.
1. The article is intended to .
A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D. predict the applications of RFID technology
2. We know from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people .
A. will have no trouble getting data about others
B. will have more energy for conversation
C. will have more time to make friends
D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer
3. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of .
A. scanning devices B. radio waves C. batteries D. chips
4. Why are some people worried about RFID technology
A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B. Because market competition will become more fierce.
C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.
D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
5. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology .
A. will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B. will be widely used, including for buying milk
C. will be limited to communication uses
D. will probably be used for pop music
