In the fall of 1988, I visited many Buddhist temples, but after a while they all began to fade from my memories. However, there was one temple that left a great impression in my heart.
It is called the Temple of the Golden Buddha. After walking around it and taking some photos, I walked over to a glass case, next to which was a typewritten page describing the history of this magnificent piece of art.
Back in 1957 a group of monks from a monastery(修道院) had to relocate a clay Buddha from their temple to a new location. The monastery was to be relocated to make room for the development of a highway. When the crane(吊车)began to lift it, the weight of was so large that it began to crack. What’s more, rain began to fall, The head monk decided to lower the statue back to the ground and cover it with a large oilcloth to protect it from the rain.
Later that evening the head monk went to check on the Buddha. He shined his flash- light under the oilcloth to see if the Buddha was staying dry. As the light reached the crack, he noticed a little beam shining back and thought it strange. As he took a closer look at this beam of light, he wondered if there might be something underneath the clay. He went to fetch a chisel and hammer from the monastery and began to chip away at the clay. As he knocked off pieces of clay, the little beam grew brighter and bigger. Many hours of labor went by before the monk stood face to face with the extraordinary solid-gold Buddha.
Historians believe that several hundred years before the head monk’s discovery, the army was about to invade the country. The monks, realizing that their country would soon be attacked, covered their precious golden Buddha with an outer covering of clay in order to keep their treasure from being robbed by the enemy.
Unfortunately, it appears that the enemy killed all the monks, and the well-kept secret of the golden Buddha remained uncovered until the day in 1957.
As I flew home I began to think to myself, “We are all like the clay Buddha covered with a shell of hardness created out of fear, and yet underneath each of us is a ‘golden Buddha’, agolden Christ, or a ‘golden spirit,’ which is our real self. Somewhere along the way, between the ages of two and nine, we begin to cover up our’ golden spirit,’ our natural self. Much like the monk with the hammer and the chisel, our task now is to discover our true spirit once again.”
1.What made the monks cover the Buddha with a large oilcloth?
A. Hiding it from being stolen.
B. Protecting it from the rain.
C. Protecting it from being damaged.
D. Avoiding being seen.
2.Why was the author greatly impressed by the golden Buddha?
A. Because he likes it very much.
B. Because it differs from others.
C. Because of its history.
D. Because of the protection of the monk.
3.What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Visiting Buddhist Temples
B. The Golden Buddha
C. Protecting Their Country
D. Relocating the Buddha
4.What advice is given to us according to the passage?
A. Covering up ourselves.
B. Finding the truth.
C. Discovering our true spirit.
D. Building up our belief.

The main hall of a 135-year old temple in Shanghai will be moved 30 meters to its north in order to create more space for visitors. Thousands of people gather and see the moving of the temple that started on Saturday.
The Mahavira Hall, of Shanghai's Jade Buddha Temple, was built in 1882. The temple in downtown Shanghai attracts more than two million visitors a year. Daily visitors can reach as high as 100,000.

In Britain all children have to go to school between the ages of 5 and 16. In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to between the ages of 14 and 16, depending on the state they live in.
Subject
In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum, which was introduced in 1988 and sets out in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16, when they are tested. The National Curriculum does not apply to Scotland, where each school decides what subjects it will teach.
In the US the subjects taught are decided by national and local governments. Whereas British schools usually have prayers and religious instruction, American schools are not allowed to include prayers or to teach particular religious beliefs.
Examinations
At 16 students in England and Wales take General certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in all subjects and may involve a final examination, an assessment, or both of these things. At 18 some students take A-level examinations, usually in no more than three subjects. It is necessary to have A levels in order to go to a university .
In Scotland students take the Scottish Certificate of Education (SCE) examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. In Scotland the university system is different from that in England and Wales. Courses usually last four years rather than three and students have to study a larger number of subjects as part of their degree.
In the US school examinations are not as important as they are in Britain. Students in High Schools do have exams at the end of their last two years, but these final exams are considered along with the work that the students have done during the school years.
Social Events and Ceremonies
In American high schools there is a formal ceremony for graduation . Students wear a special cap and gown and receive a diploma from the head of the school. Students often buy a class ring to ear, and a yearbook, containing pictures of their friends and teachers. There are also special social events at American schools. Sports events are popular, and cheer leaders lead the school in supporting the school team and singing the school song. At the end of their junior year, at age 17 or 18, students held in the evening. The girls wear long evening dresses and the boys wear TUXEDOS.
In Britain, there are no formal dances or social occasions associated with school life. Some schools have Speech Day at the end of the school year when prizes are given to the best students and speeches are made by the head teacher and sometimes an invited guest.

All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.
Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?
Sometimes, I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come.
Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in pleasant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless prospect. So we go about our little task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.
The same attitude, I am afraid, falls on the use of our abilities and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered loss of sight of hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed abilities. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. Seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen ill. It is the same old story of not being grateful without missing.
1.When reading the thrilling stories, we usually ______.
A. have curiosity about the hero’s limited life B. show great interest in our own lives
C. find many regrets in reviewing the past D. have mercy on the doomed man
2.From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. the author thinks it would be excellent to live if he should die the next day
B. the disabled are anxious to regain their abilities and senses
C. each of us should treasure what we have possessed today
D. many of us are able to make full use of our time
3.The underlined word “hazily” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. happily B. unclearly C. freely D. enthusiastically
4.The best title for this passage may probably be ______.
A. Not Being Grateful without Missing B. Giving a Hand to the Disabled
C. Making Use of Abilities and Senses D. Learning from Thrilling Stories
C
The Philippines expects that some 110,000 South Korean students will travel to the country in 2007, mainly to attend English language lessons, the Philippines Daily Inquirer has reported.
Head of Philippine Department of Tourism Team Korea, Maricon Basco Ebron, made the assessment at the recently concluded Korea Student Fair 2007, which attracted 30,000 South Korean students, all seriously planning to study abroad. In that event alone, around 8,000 students were booked by 14 Philippine-based schools.
According to Ebron, the estimated figure was based on actual figures recorded by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration in the past. The number of students would account for about 15 to 17 percent of the total visitors expected from South Korean in 2007. “Yet, that percentage is quite conservative since it does not include students with alien resident visas or those young people being brought in by South Korean retirees and businessmen,” Ebron said.
While the Philippines is not a native English-speaking country, the cheaper cost of English-based education is a major plus for South Koreans. “Sending a child to the US for one year is equivalent to sending a child to the Philippines for two years---plus the mom,” Ebron said, referring to the fact South Korean parents could easily come to the Philippines to check on their children.
Oh Hyun-Sook, who works with the Philippine tourism office in Seoul, estimated the cost of South Korean university education at $4,000 per semester, or roughly four times the tuition for the same period in a major university in Metro Manila.
Meanwhile, many South Koreans enroll in short-term English as Second Language courses or study for the TOFL in the Philippines as preparation for further education in another country. Younger students come in for language camps, typically two-month courses during their summer or winter break.
According to Oh Hyun-Sook, children as young as five years old are sent abroad, both “to study the English language and to experience a different culture”. “It’s a fact that when you have English language skills, you’re more competitive, whether you work in Seoul or abroad,” Oh Hyun-Sook added.
5.In 2007, about ________ South Korean visitors will travel to The Philippines.
A. 650,000 B. 110,000 C.30,000 D. 38,000
6.The passage mainly tells us that_____________.
A. the Philippines is the first choice for many South Koreans to study English abroad
B. it costs South Koreans less money to study in the Philippines
C. South Korean students are welcome to study English in the Philippines
D. studying English in the Philippines helps South Korean students a lot
7.This passage is probably taken from _________.
A. an educational document B. a newspaper
C. a government report D. a travel magazine
