One day two young men are walking in a big forest. One is fat , and the other is thin.” We are good friends. We must help each other. If we meet any beast(野兽), I’ll help you,” the thin man says. “I’ll help you, too,” the fat one says. They walk on. After a while they hear a great noise. It is a big bear. It is coming this way.
The two young men run away quickly. One of them climbs up a tree, and hides among the leaves. He forgets all about his friend. What about the fat one? He is too fat to climb up a tree. So he throws himself on the ground, closes his eyes, and pretends（假装） to be dead. “ The bear will think I’m dead,” he thinks to himself.
Soon the bear comes up to the fat man, and even puts its nose to his mouth and ears. The fat man holds his breath.
The bear thinks he is dead, so it goes away, because bears never touch the dead. The man in the tree comes down. With a smile he asks his friend, “ The bear puts its nose so close to your ears. What does it say to you?”

High school graduation is worth celebrating. It marks a big change in the lives of young adults. However, it ought to mean even more. It ought to mean that the graduate is ready for college or career.
In a report issued last year, we found that almost half of recent Illinois high school graduates required remedial courses(补习课) upon enrolling(注册) a community college. These courses require time and money to complete, yet offer no credits toward a degree. Too often, students never get through those remedial courses and end up dropping out of college.
Why is the remediation rate so high? A large part of the reason is that we have not set high enough standards for what our students need to learn from kindergarten to high school. They simply aren’t equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
The same is true for careers. In Illinois, good jobs continue to go vacant(空缺) even while we are trying hard to go through tough economic times. This is due largely to the mismatch between the skills and knowledge we provide our students with and what employers in a modern economy need workers to know.
The good news is that in Illinois we have a plan to help get our students ready for life in the real world. We have already taken an important first step by becoming one of the 45 states to adopt the Common Core State Standards and have begun introducing them to classrooms this year. The new standards provide fewer, clearer and higher benchmarks(标准) for academic progress. They focus on deeper knowledge required at each grade level, give teachers the opportunity to explore topics fully and ensure students can apply what they’ve learned.
Research shows that when expectations are raised, students rise to meet them. Adapting to higher standards and raising expectations may prove challenging, but they are the steps we must take so that our students are successful in high school and prepared for college and careers. Readiness is worth a celebration.
1.According to the passage, in most cases, students taking part in remedial courses ___.
A．come from wealthy families
B．leave college before finishing their courses
C．are offered credits toward a degree
D．are likely to develop their academic interest
2.The author uses the third and fourth paragraphs to __.
A．provide solutions to the rising remediation rate
B．show the present situation of unemployment in Illinois
C．suggest knowledge learned in school be put into practice
D．explain why students aren’t prepared for college and a career
3.Which of the following statements about the Common Core State Standards is TRUE?
A．They were first adopted in Illinois.
B．More benchmarks are required.
C．They benefit teachers as well as students.
D．They ensure students’ success in college.
4.Based on the last paragraph, what is the author’s attitude to raising expectations of students?
A．Supportive B．Critical
C．Doubtful D．Worried

Recently, the TV show “Where are we going, Dad?” produced by Hunan SatelliteTelevision is a big hit across nation. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of people’s emotional resonance（共鸣）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.
The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.
In the real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. Theparticipation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.
It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.
1.To raise a child in modern society, parents should ________.
A. break down the barrier between children and teachers
B. play computer games with their children
C. balance well between family and career
D. keep their children at home to avoid socializing
2.Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?
A. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.
B. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.
C. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.
D. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.
3.What does the underlined word “participation” probably mean?
A. taking responsibility B. understanding
C. taking part D. keeping company
4.What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second paragraph?
A. Optimistic.
B. Indifferent.
C. Proud.
D. Worried.
5.Which one is the best title of the passage?
A. New problems in Modern Children’s Education
B. Modern Education is Important
C. Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”
D. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids
