Recently, online high schools in America have caused a debate about whether or not taxpayers’ money should be used to support online education. Online schools receive the same amount of funding as all other public schools, even though they don’t have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs.
Some students only use online classes to supplement(补充)their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses.
However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs.
Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers can’t give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what they’re having difficulty with.
Additionally, even though online schooling accommodates(顾及)students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learn valuable communication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes won’t learn social etiquette(礼节), and will be treated differently by their peers.
Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers’ money on online schools in extreme cases.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Whether students should study at online schools.
B. Whether online schools should be allowed to exist.
C. Whether taxpayers should pay for online schools.
D. Whether traditional schools should be replaced.
2.According to the passage, online schooling _____.
A. is helpful to students living in remote regions
B. allows students to work together
C. makes it possible for students to get immediate help
D. develops students’ critical thinking
3.According to Paragraph 5, the author worries that students at online schools _____.
A. might lose interest in learning
B. would play online games
C. could not receive teachers’ help
D. could not become fully developed
4.What is the author’s attitude?
A. Taxpayers should not pay for online schools at all.
B. Taxpayers should pay more for online schools than real schools.
C. Taxpayers’ money should be spent on online schools conditionally.
D. Taxpayers should support online schools in different ways.

Recently, a new law in Arizona requires high school students to pass the United States’ citizenship test. There’re 100 questions on US history and government in the test.
The Joe Foss Institute helped created the law. They want to pass a law in each of the 50 states to require high school student to pass the test.
A 2010 national test showed only about 25 percent of students in their final year of high school had a good understanding of American government. Thirty-six percent did not have even a basic understanding.
“That’s a shame, and it’s not only a shame.” Said John Hale, the Associate Director of the Center for Civic Education California. Mr. Hale thinks it is dangerous when citizens do not know or care about how their government works. He says students do not only to learn facts about government. They should also learn how to take part in their communities. “Requiring high school student to take the test might be a way to improve students’ civic behavior,” he says.
But some wonder if a test young people take in high school will make adults more active in their communities.
Sam Stone writes reports for the Joe Foss Institute. He says research shows that civic education does result in more involved adults. He noted a 2012 survey found that the more young people studied civics in high school, the more likely they were to get actively involved in their communities.
In another state, Virginia, many people are against the test. Meg Gruver is the president of the Virginia Education Association. She says students already take classes in civics and US history. And, she says, schools should not have to pay more for the test.
Sam Stone agrees. He says his organization is paying for an online testing website. Schools can use the website to give the test for free.
1.The US citizen test________.
A. is a required test all over America
B. was created by the Joe Foss Institute
C. helps students understand America government
D. has been included in American law for five years
2.What might John Hale agree with?
A. How the US government works should not be open to the public.
B. It’s a shame that the US government is unpopular with students.
C. Community activities outweigh facts about the US government.
D. The US citizenship test will be good for students and society
3.The result of the 2012 survey_________.
A. was different from Sam Stone’s findings
B. showed civics helped students become more active citizen
C. showed it was hard for more young people to pass the civics test
D. showed students were as interested as adults in their government
4.What did Meg Gruber think of the citizen test?
A. Uninteresting B. Unsatisfying
C. Acceptable D. Fair

Does your local high school have a student newspaper? Only 1 in 8 of New York’s public high schools has student newspapers – and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.
Rebecca Dwarka, an 18-year-old senior who works for her student paper said, “Facebook is the new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it. This makes a ‘whole article’ sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places.”
I am not nostalgic(怀旧的) about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war and rock and roll without school officials warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.
School newspapers are in decline because students now find out what happened on social networking websites. This is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do-it-yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.
When something happens, we look for social media messages. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny (否认), pass on stories and express opinions without the press’ challenging, researching or slowing the message.
But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires seeing something carefully and it uses an eye for details to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that gives an opinion tries to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.
1.What can we infer from Rebecca’s words?
A.Students like reading detailed articles.
B.Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news.
C.School newspapers are becoming unpopular.
D.Long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places.
2.What does the underlined word “decline” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Fall. B.Popularity
C.Increase D.Failure
3.What should good journalism do according to the author?
A.Ignore some details.
B.Spread a message quickly.
C.Act as blog posts in modern times.
D.Give an opinion in a fair way.
4.Which opinion does the writer intend to express in this passage?
A.Social media is becoming more and more important.
B.Everyone can become a reporter at present.
C.Social networking brings about new journalism.
D.High school newspapers shouldn’t be replaced by social media.

I have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my English Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.
Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist (新闻记者). Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.
Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outdoors. For example, I went to listen to a journalist’s speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).

We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are requested to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.

High school students have always spread gossip (传言) in the halls, on the walls and on the phone. Now it’s on the Internet, too. On various message boards, kids write about whom they hate, whom they think have fallen in love with each other and record other often hurtful things that may or may not be true.
Sixteen-year-old Jessica remembers once when some kids at her school wrote cruel things about her on the web. “They were just making fun of me,” she says. They said she’s really ugly, she’s this, she’s that, blah-blah-blah.
Jessica’s 11-year-old sister, Emma, admits she’s used the web to write bad things about another girl, though she regrets it now. “After a while, you may feel like, how could I have been so mean? Or, why did I do that?” she says.
Experts say gossip on the Internet can be more harmful than the old fashioned kind. It lasts longer and is taken more seriously. And, unlike ugly words on the bathroom wall, there’s no way to get rid of it.
If your kids are victims(受害者) of online gossip, Dr. Commanday suggests putting the gossip in to perspective (正确看待). “Point out to them how what’s being said on the screen differs from what everyone knows about you as a person,” Dr. Commanday says.
You can also try what worked from Emma: keep your kids off the offensive (冒犯的) website! “When she was using it all the time, her name was there all the time. People were writing things about her,” explains Patti Thrift, Emma’s mother, “Since she has no longer had access to that, she’s no longer a topic of conversation.”
1.From the examples of Jessica’s sister, we can learn that ________.
A. ugly girls like to spread gossip online
B. ugly girls easily become victims of online gossip
C. gossip-makers can regret what they do
D. online gossip is mainly some jokes on others
2.According to the passage, why is online gossip more hurtful?
A. It is written words.
B. It cannot be removed easily.
C. It is much uglier.
D. It is easier to believe.
3.The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. give some tips on how to prevent hurt of gossip on the Internet
B. list the difference between the old fashioned gossip and gossip on the Internet
C. advise students to keep away from the Internet
D. introduce different kinds of hurt students might meet with
