The National Endowment for the Arts recently released
the results of its “Reading at Risk” survey, which described
the movement of the American public away from books and
literature and toward television and electronic media.
According to the survey, “reading is on the decline on every S1________
region, within every ethnic group, and at every educational level.”
The day the NEA report released, the U.S. House, in a tie S2________
vote, upheld the government’s right to obtain bookstore and
library records under a provision of the USA Patriot Act. The
House proposal would have barred the federal government
from demand library records, reading lists, book customer S3________
lists and other material in terrorism and intelligence investigations.
These two events are completely unrelated to, yet they S4________
echo each other in the message they send about the place of
books and reading in American culture. At the heart
of the NEA survey is the belief in our democratic S5________
system depends on leaders who can think critically, analyze
texts and writing clearly. All of these are skills promoted by S6________
reading and discussing books and literature. At the same time,
through a provision of the Patriot Act, the leaders of our
country are unconsciously sending the message that reading
may be connected to desirable activities that might S7________
undermine our system of government rather than helping
democracy flourish.
Our culture’s decline in reading begin well before the S8________
existence of the Patriot Act. During the 1980s’ culture wars,
school systems across the country pulled some books from
library shelves because its content was deemed by parents S9________
and teachers to be inappropriate. Now what started in schools
across the country is playing itself out on a nation stage and S10________
is possibly having an impact on the reading habits of the
American public.

The most important starting point for improving the
understanding of science is undoubtedly an adequate
scientific education at school. Public attitude towards
science owe much the way science is taught in these S1________
institutions. Today, school is what most people come into S2________
contact with a formal instruction and explanation of science
for the first time, at least in a systematic way. It is at this
point which the foundations are laid for an interest in science. S3________
what is taught (and how) in this first encounter will largely
determine an individual’s view of the subject in adult life.
Understanding the original of the negative attitudes S4________
towards science may help us to modify them. Most education
system neglect exploration, understanding and reflection. S5________
Teachers in schools tend to present science as a collection of
facts, often by more detail than necessary. As a result, S6________
children memorize processes such as mathematical formulas
or the periodic table, only to forget it shortly afterwards. The S7________
task of learning facts and concepts, one at a time, makes
learning laborious, boring and efficient. Such a purely S8________
empirical approach, which consists of observation and
description, is also, in a sense, unscientific or incomplete.
There is therefore a need for resources and methods of
teaching that facilitates a deep understanding of science in S9________
an enjoyable way. Science should not only be ‘fun’ in the
same way as playing a video game, but ‘hard fun’----a deep
feeling of connection made possibly only by imaginative S10________
engagement.

Until recently, dyslexia and other reading problems were
a mystery to most teachers and parents. As a result, too many
kids passed through school without master the printed page. S1_______
Some were treated as mentally deficient; many were left
functionally illiterate(文盲的), unable to ever meet their
potential. But in the last several years, there’s been a
revolution in that we’ve learned about reading and dyslexia. S2_______
Scientists are using a variety of new imaging techniques to
watch the brain at work. Their experiments have shown that
reading disorders are most likely the result of what is, in an effect, S3_______
faulty writing in the brain－not lazy, stupidity or a poor home S4________
environment. There’s also convincing evidence which dyslexia S5________
is largely inherited. It is now considered a chronic problem
for some kids, not just a “phase”. Scientists have also
discarded another old stereotype that almost all dyslexics are
boys. Studies indicate that many girls are affecting as well－ S6________
and not getting help.
At same time, educational researchers have come up S7________
with innovative teaching strategies for kids who are having
trouble learning to read. New screening tests are identifying
children at risk before they get discouraged by year of S8________
frustration and failure. And educators are trying to get the
message to parents that they should be on the alert for the
first signs of potential problems.
It’s an urgent mission. Mass literacy is a relative new S9________
social goal. A hundred years ago people didn’t need to be
good readers in order to earn a living. But in the Information
Age, no one can get by with knowing how to read well and S10________
understand increasingly complex material.

listing any publications or referees on a separate sheet. S7_______
If you are sending your CV electronically, check the
formatting by sending it to yourself first. keep up S8_______
the format simple.

you have to send on ,make sure it is one taking in a S9________
professional setting, rather than a holiday snap.
Getting the presentation right is just the first step. What
about the content? The Rule here is to keep it factual and
truthful-exaggerations usually get find out. And remember S10_______
to tailor your CV to each different job.

Culture refers to the social heritage of a people—the learned
patterns for thinking, feeling and acting that characterize a
population or society, include the expression of these patterns in 1_______
material things. Culture is compose of nonmaterial culture---- 2_______
abstract creations like values, beliefs, customs and institutional arrangements----
and material culture----physical object like cooking pots, 3_______
computers and bathtubs. In sum, culture reflects both the
ideas we share or everything we make. In ordinary speech, 4_______
a person of culture is the individual can speak another language----- 5_______
the person who is unfamiliar with the arts, music, literature, 6_______
philosophy, or history. But to sociologists, to be human is to be
cultured, because of culture is the common world of experience 7_______
we share with other members of our group.
Culture is essentially to our humanness. It provides a king 8_______
of map for relating to others. Consider how you find your way
about social life. How do you know how to act in a classroom, or
a department store, or toward a person who smiles or laugh 9_______
at you? Your culture supplies you by broad, standardized, 10_______
ready-made answers for dealing with each of these situations.
Therefore, if we know a person’s culture, we can understand
and even predict a good deal of his behavior.( Cet-6 04*6)

Thomas Malthus published his "Essay on the Principle of
Population" almost 200 years ago. Ever since then, forecasters have
being warning that worldwide famine was just around the next S1_____
corner. The fast-growing population's demand for food, they warned,
would soon exceed their supply, leading to widespread food S2_____
shortages and starvation.
But in reality, the world's total grain harvest has risen steadily
over the years. Except for relative isolated trouble spots like S3______
present-day Somalia, and occasional years of good harvests, S4_____
the world's food crisis has remained just round the corner. Most
experts believe this can continue even as if the population doubles S5_____
by the mid-21st century, although feeding I0 billion people will
not be easy for politics, economic and environmental reasons. S6_____
Optimists point to concrete examples of continued improvements
in yield. In Africa, by instance, improved seed, more fertilizer and S7_____
advanced growing practices have more than double corn and S8_____
wheat yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in the
Philippines are producing a plant with few stems and more S9_____
seeds. There is no guarantee that plant breeders can continue
to develop new, higher-yielding crop, but most researchers see S10_____
their success to date as reason for hope.

"Home, sweet home" is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude
in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house
is sweet or no sweet，the cherished ideal of home has great S1.________
importance for many people. This ideal is a vital part of the American
dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century
European settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of place, S2.________
build a house for one's family, and started a farm. These small S3.________
households were portraits of independence: the entire family- mother,
father, children even grandparents - live in a small house and working S4.________
together to support each other. Anyone understood the life and death S5.________
importance of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people
in the United States no longer live on farms, but the ideal S6.________
of home ownership is just as strong in the twentieth century as
it was in the nineteenth. When U.S, soldiers came home before S7.________
World War II., for example, they dreamed of buying houses and
starting families. But there was a tremendous boom in home S8.________
building. The new houses, typically it the suburbs, were often small
and more or less identical, but it satisfied a deep need. Many S9.________
regarded the single-family house the basis of their way of life. S10.________

The Seattle Times Company is one newspaper firm that has recognized the need for change and done something about it. In the newspaper industry, papers must reflect the diversity of the communities to which they provide information.
It must reflect that diversity with their news coverage or risk S1.____________
losing their readers' interest and their advertisers' support.
Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial S2.___________
minorities, the paper has put into place policies and
procedures for hiring and maintain a diverse workforce. The S3.___________
underlying reason for the change is that for information to be
fair, appropriate, and subjective, it should be reported by the S4.____________
same kind of population that reads it.
A diversity committee composed of reporters, editors, and
photographers meets regularly to value the Seattle Times' S5.___________
content and to educate the rest of the newsroom staff about
diversity issues. In an addition, the paper instituted a content S6.____________
