In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.

Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.

The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.

Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education

1.Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________

A. they hope their children may easily find a job there

B. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries

C. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries

D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends

2.“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________

A. without parents　　　　　　　　　　　 B. speaking no English

C. with university education　　　　　　 D. living abroad alone

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Parents want better education for their kids

B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families

C. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family

D. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem

Recently a professor of philosophy(哲学)in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day to day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he has asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value(重视)in life．

The professor says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined(明确)when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money．If he does，it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Otherwise it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who are rich to be very important. The professor interviews some rich people in his research for his book．

Question:  What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich?

Answer :  The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect(尊重). I am nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much money do I need for any given purpose in my life? In his book，the professor uncovered an important need in modern society：to bring back the idea that money is a tool rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the material world，but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

高一英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Colorado officials will stick to a plan to kill some mountain lions and bears to support the state’s dropping mule deer (长耳鹿) population.

Wednesday’s vote permits organizations to kill up to 25 black bears and 15 mountain lions per year in the central and western parts of the state. The project will run for three years, to be followed by a six-year study of how deer populations respond to fewer predators(捕食者).

The population of Colorado’s mule deer has suffered a puzzling, years-long drop to about 450,000, which state officials said was about 110,000 fewer than there should be. A 2014 state study tied it to seven causes, including predators, whose number has greatly increased in recent years.

Some experts, however, said the state should focus first on the human-led destruction(破坏) of mule deer habitat(栖息地). “The drop of the mule deer population is obviously not a simple problem with simple causes,” Brian Kurzel, director of the National Wildlife Federation, said. “By far, the greatest problem—the one that I think deserves the most attention in any science-based study—is habitat quantity and quality.”

Kurzel pointed out that the U.S Bureau of Land Management recently agreed to create 15,000 new oil and gas wells somewhere in western Cororado, which was often called “the mule-deer factory”. There, the number of mule deer has fallen to about 30,000 from more than 100,000 in the early 1980s. Though state officials have known oil and gas development affects the population of mule deer, they didn’t go against the plan.

Other causes like building highways, population growth and human activities are also curbing the mule deer population, according to the study.

State Parks and Wildlife officials don’t necessarily disagree. They started a $4.5 million program as a way to gather research for later decisions.

1.Why do Colorado officials want to have so many mountain lions and bears killed?

A. To stop them hurting people.

B. To leave more habitat for mule deer.

C. To stop the mule deer population from dropping.

D. To help researchers carry out a three-year-long study.

2.What is the most important in protecting mule deer according to Brian Kurzel?

A. Protecting their habitat.　　 B. Providing enough food for them.

C. Reducing the number of their predators.　　 D. Asking the government to make an effort.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “curbing” in the last but one paragraph?

A. limiting.　　 B. ensuring.　　 C. increasing.　　 D. protecting.

4.What do State Parks and Wildlife official mean in the last paragraph?

A. Decisions will be made in one year.

B. Habitat loss is the main cause of the drop.

C. Human activities aren’t responsible for the drop.

D. It’s too early to say what exactly caused the drop.
