A
What if your school decided to give you cold hard cash in exchange for doing well in tests?  Think you would work harder to improve your scores? That’ S the experiment being conducted  by a number of schools in Virginia Beach and so far, the results have been quite encouraging．
However，before you get your hopes up，the encouragement is not being offered to kids in every grade—Only high school students who are motivated enough to register for Advanced  Placement(AP)courses and，take the tests．
Also，not everyone who takes the test is qualified for the cash—Only students with a score of 3 and above maximum is 5)，the level at which they are exempt(豁免)from taking the course in college，are rewarded．And while＄100 seems like a lot of money，most of it is used for paying to take the exams．The students usually end up getting about＄20 per test．
The funding for this program，which is being tested in about a dozen high schools，has been obtained from The National Math and Science Initiative，a public-private partnership set up to encourage high-school students to take up more challenging courses．
While this is a rather unusual way of encouraging students to step up to the challenge，it seems to be working．Salem High School，which is participating in the program, is experiencing a large increase in the number of students registering in AP courses．The teachers are also quite pleased—For not only are they receiving additional training，but also，funding in a large sum rather than piecemeal，enabling them to acquire the class materials all at one time．Sounds like a win—win for everyone．Do you think paying students to study is a good idea?
56．Who can get the cold hard cash according to the text?
A．Kids in every grade．     B．Students getting a score of 3 and above．
C．Only high school students． D．Students taking the tests．
57．What can we learn about The National Math and Science lnitiative?
A．It encourages students to earn money．
B．It is a public cooperation．
C．It supplies funding to the program．
D．It is Fun by several high schools．
58．Salem High School is mentioned in Paragraph 5 to show that________．
A．the program is working well
B．all schools are active in the program
C．all students are interested in AP courses
D．teachers can benefit from the program
59．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Paying students to study is not popular．
B．The experiment proves to be encouraging．
C．Students rewarded must take all courses．
D．The program doesn’t encourage challenge．
60．The author’S attitude towards paying students to study was that of______
A．doubt    B．unconcern    C．objection D．approval

A Blog as Therapy for Teenagers
In the days before the instantly typed “OMG Where R U?” the first words many teenagers wrote during their worried moments were“Dear Diary．”After several paragraphs of writing adolescent anxiety onto paper, the diarist often felt better．Research has long backed the thera – peutic(治疗的)value of diary-keeping for teenage girls and boys．But according to a new study，when teenagers detail their troubles onto a blog，the therapeutic value is even greater.
To track teenagers’experiences with blogging，the researchers randomly surveyed high school students in Israel and selected 162 of them(124 girls and 38 boys)who exhibited some level of social anxiety or stress．The teenagers，who averaged 15 years old．said they had difficulty making new friends or relating to their existing friends．
The teenagers were averagely divided into six groups．The first two groups were asked to blog about their social difficulties，with one group asked to open their posts to comments．The second two groups were asked to blog．about whatever struck their adolescent fancy；again．with one group allowing comments．All four groups were told to write in their blogs at least twice a week. As a control，two more groups were told to keep either an old—fashioned print diary or to do nothing at all．
All of their blog entries were then gone Over by four psychologists to determine the authors’relative social and emotional state．In all the groups，the greatest improvement in mood occurred among those bloggers who wrote about their problems and allowed commenters to respond. Interestingly，the commenters on the blogs were almost supportive．
 “The only kind of surprise we had Was that almost all comments made by readers were very positive and constructive in trying to offer support for suffering bloggers,”Dr．Barak wrote in an e—mail．The findings may hold in the real virtual world as well．“I definitely write posts in which I talk about trouble，and it helps me to relax，”said Royar Loflin，a 17-year-old blogger from Norfolk，Va．
61.What is better to reduce adolescent anxiety according to a new study?
A. Composing a poem．    B．Keeping a diary．
C．Writing a blog．  D．Doing hornework．
62.The new study was carried out by selecting__________.
A．special students in colleges
B．some stressful senior students at random
C．some students in Israel primary schools
D．162 single-sex children in high schools  
63．How many students were allowed to write blogs online?
A．162．    B．108．C．81．D．54．
64．How did psychologists feel about the commenters’supportive attitude?
A．Disappointed．    B．Confused．
C．Amused．D．Worried．
65.It can be inferred that Royar Loflin could get very__________.
A．destructive comments from readers
B• constructive comments from psychologists
C．destructive comments from his family
D．supportive comments from readers

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．
In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for
with the money．
At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it．If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．
Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause．111ey can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save and maybe even invest(投资)it．
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice：you have to cut costs and plan for
