How to Be a
Successful Businessperson
Have you ever wondered why some people
are successful in business and others are not?
Here's a story
about one successful
businessperson. He started out washing dishes and
today he owns 168 restaurants.

Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His
dream was to be an airplane pilot,
and
when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a
small plane.
At
the age of 23 and with just a little money in his
pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He
hoped
to get a job in the airplane
industry in California. Instead, he ended up
working for a company that rented cars.
While Mr. Kazi
was working at the car
rental(
祖赁的
) company, he
frequently ate at a nearby KFC
restaurant. To save money on food, he
decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he
worked as a cook's
assistant. His job
was to clean the kitchen and help the cook.
the best I could.
One day, Mr. Kazi's two co-
workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi
did the work of all three
people in the
kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the
restaurant.
A
few months later, the owners needed a manager for
a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi.
He
worked hard as the manager and soon
the restaurant was making a profit.
A few years later, Mr. Kazi
heard about a restaurant that was losing money.
The restaurant was dirty

food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a
bank and bought the restaurant. For the first
six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the
restaurant from 8 a.m. t0 10 p.m., seven days a
week. He and his wife
cleaned up the
restaurant, remodeled the front of the building,
and improved the cooking. They also tried hard
to please the customers. lf someone had
to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs.
Kazi gave them a
free soda. Before long
the restaurant was making a profit.
A year later, Mr. Kazi sold
his restaurant for a profit. With the money he
earned, he bought three more
restaurants that were losing money.
Again,'he cleaned them up, improved the food, and
retrained the
employees. Before long
these restaurants were making a profit, too.
Today Mr. Kazi
owns 168 restaurants, but he isn't planning to
stop there. He's looking for more poorly

Three Ways to Become More
Creative
Most
people believe they don't have has imagination,
but most of us, once much imagination. They are
wrong. Everyone we become adults,
forget how to access it. Creativit}r isn't always
connected with great
works of art or
ideas. People at work and in their free time
routinely think of creative ways to solve
problems.
Maybe you have a goal to
achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just
want to expand your mind! Here are
three techniques to help you.
This technique
involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find
links between them. First, think about
the problem you have to solve or the
job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea
or object, for example,
a candle. Write
down all the ideas/words associated with candles:
light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc.
Think of as many as you can. The next
stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have
to do. So imagine you
want to buy a
friend an original present; you could buy him
tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't
exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as
you want. Think about
your goal and the
new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is
to learn to ski(
滑雪）
, you can
now practice
skiing every day of your
life (because you have the time and the money).
Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you
can practice skiing every day in
December, or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from
a different point of view. Good negotiators
(
谈判者
) use this technique in
business, and so do writers. Fiction
writers often imagine they are the characters in
their books, They ask
questions: what
does this character want? Why can't she get it?
What changes must she make to get what she
wants? What does about? If your goal
involves other people, put yourself
fishermen think like fish!
36. According to the
passage, become adults,
A. most of us are no longer creative.
B. we are -not
as imaginative as children.
C. we can stilllearn more
creative.
D.
.we are unwillfng to be creative. .
37. According to the first
technique, if you need to solve a problem,
A. you should
link it with candles.. . .
B. you have to think of buying a
present for a friend.
C. you should link it with as many
words as possible.
D. you could find an image and try to
link it with the problem.
38. The second technique suggests that
you just imagine .
A. setting a goalis as simple as
skiing..
B. you
have every resource to achieve your goal.
C. new
possibilities will soon appear. .
D. December and January are
the best months for skiing.
39. The phrase
A. dressyourselflikethem.
B. do as they
ask you to
C.
put on their shoes
D. think as they would
40. We learn from the third
technique that a good salesman should ask himself:
A. what are my
customers' needs?
B. what do I usually do?
C. what did my boss tell me
to do?
D. how
should I sell my products?

The State of Marriage Today
Is there
something seriousty wrong with marriage today?
During the'past 50 years, the rate of divorce in
the United States has exploded: almost
50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the
evidence suggests it is
going to get
worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to
the breakup of the family, a
spokesperson for the National Family
Association. Some futurists predict that in 100
years, the average
American will marry
at least four times, and
extramaritai
（婚外的）
affairs will be even more common than
they are now.
But what are the reasons for this, and
is the picture really so gloomy
(
明暗的
)? The answer to the
first
question is really quite simple:
marriage is no longer the necessity it once was.
The institution of marriage has
been
based for years partly on economic need. Women
used to be economically dependent on their
husbands-as they usually didn't have
jobs outside the home. But with the rising number
of women in
well-paying jobs, this i:a
no longer the case, so they don't feel that
they'need to stay in a failing marriage.
In answer to
the second question, the outlook may not be as
pessimistic (
悲观的
) as it
seems. While the
rate of divorce has
risen; the rate of couples marrying has never
actually fallen ver}t much, so marriage is still
quite popular. In addition to this,
many couples now simply live together and don't
bother to marry. These
couples are
effectively married, but they do not appear in
either the marriage or divorce statistics. In
fact, more
than 50% offtrst marriages
survive.
So is
marriage really an outdated institution? The fact
that most people still get . married indicates
that it
isn't. And it is also true that
married couples have a healthier life than single
people: they suffer less from stress
and its consequences, such as heart
problems, and married men generally consider
themselves more dontented
tfian their
single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find
out what makes a successful marriage and apply it
to
all of our relationships!
41. Which of
the following is true about the marriage in the
United States today?
e leads to the breakup of the family.
B. More than
half of the married couples get divorced.
C. American
people marry more than four times.
D. More and more people are
getting divorced.
42. What does
A. Women are not economically
dependant'any more.
B. It is not necessar}t to get married
any more.
C.
Women do not need a husband anylonger.
D. Many wives do well-
paying jobs outside home now.
'is the outlook of marriage

Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays
are well-known all around the world. Among them
are New. Year's Eve celebrations. Also
common are days in honor of love and
friendship, like Valentine's Day. Each country has
its own special
holidays, too, often to
mark important its history. Schools, banks, and
government offices all close

strange.
Of
course, they are not strangE to the people who
celebrate them. Perhaps that is lbecause the
celebrations

celebrated in many
countries-France, England, and Australia, among
others. On this day, people play practical
jokes. _ (47) The ones who laugh are
the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool
often get angry. Does
celebrating this
day'make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,
too. On this day, it is traditional for boys to
pour water over the
heads of girls.
Here is the strangest part: They do it to girls
they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place
in a single city or town. A holiday called La
Tomatina is celebrated
in Bunol, Spain.
Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more
than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this
little town.- (48) For two hours,
people in the streets throw tomatoes at each
other. Everyone ends up red from
head
to toe.
August

festival with a very unusual tradition. People
from the
town of Killorglin go up into
the mountains and' catch a wild There are also
some celebrations that are really
strange. In the United States,
sometimes one person gets an idea for a new
holiday and tries to get others to
accept it. Whose idea was Public
Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may
seem strange, but it sounds
like more
fun than the one on February9. (50)
Do you like the'idea of
inventing a new holiday? lf you do, then you will
want to mark March 26 0n your
calendar.
That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
A. They bring him back to
town, put a crown on his head, and make him king
for three days.
B. Some of the days people celebrate,
however, are less serious.
C. That is supposed to be Toothache
Day.
D. Then
begins the world's biggest food fight.
E. Some people have fun
imagining n. ew holidays.
F. Jokes are supposed to be funny, but
these jokes do not make everyone laugh.

Nurses
The physicians
in a hospital form the core of the medical staff.
But
they could not provide effective
medical care to their patients without
the help of numerous other medical
workers. From the angle of the
patients, the nursing staff is
particularly important. Nurses are usually in
close contact with patients as long as
they are in the hospital.
A nurse does not study for as many
years as a doctor
. However
,
each
must be equally trained. Caring
for sick persons requires a great deal of
patience and concern. Most nurses work
log days and they often must
work at
odd hours or during the night.
The nursing staff in a
hospital is usually quite large and various.
Nursing services, after all, must be
provided on a 24-hour basis. There
are
professional nurses, practical nurses, nurse’s
aids and orderlies. The
general term
nurse refers to a person trained to offer bedside
care to sick
persons.
Under the supervision of
the head nurse, the nursing staff in a
hospital ward must atte
nd to
patients’ needs. This responsibility
continues around the clock and so
nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a
period of duty, usually eight hours in
length. The nurses on the ward
rotate
their shifts. Some take turns working night duty;
other work odd
shifts. All of them work
out of a central area on the ward called the
nurse’s station.
A nurse must always be on
her guard. She can never afford to be
careless. This is true in all nursing
situations, but it is especially true in
the intensive care unit. Patients under
intensive care are critically ill, and
they must be monitored at all times.
The nurses who do intensive care
duty
have one of the most demanding jobs in the
hospital.
physicians in a hospital are less important than
the nursing
staff.
Mentioned
nurses in a hospital usually spend more time with
patients
than the physicians.
Mentioned
18.A nurse is not qualified if she does
not have patience and show
concern for

nurse’s station is the only place where nurses in
a hospital
ward can be found.

other nurses.

On British Newspapers
1 Besides the daily
newspapers, there are a number of Sunday
newspapers in Britain. Many of them are
connected with the “dailies”,
though
not run by the same editor and his members. The
Sunday papers
are larger than the daily
papers and usually contain more articles
concerned with comment and general
information rather than news. The
national daily and Sunday papers have
the largest circulation in the
world.
Of the Sunday papers, the Observer and the Sunday
Times are
the best known.
2 It is a regrettable fact
that the number of magazines of a literary or
political nature has dropped down since
the war
. This has probably been
caused by the ever-wider use of radio
and television. The most
successful
magazines are those published for women. Their
covers are
designed to catch the eyes
and they certainly succeed in doing so! They
offer their readers articles on
fashion, needle work and many other
matters of women interest. They also
provide advice to those in love and
adventures with handsome heroes. Some
women’s magazines also
include serious
articles of more general interest.
3 The visitor who looks at
the magazines displayed in a large
bookstore which may be found in an
important railway station will notice
that there is a wide variety of
technical books and magazines. There are
magazines for the motorist, the
farmer
, the gardener
, the
nurse and
many others.
4 There are many local and
regional newspapers. It is common in
Britain for a news agent to deliver the
morning papers to his customers
for a
small extra payment; this service is usually
performed by boys and
girls who want to
earn some pocket-money.

How to Start a
Small Business in the US
People from other countries often take
America as the “land of
opportunity”.
Americ
ans, too, believe that the
country gives no end of
chances to
those who want to open their own businesses.
Today, many
Americans are still trying
hard to become small business people,
although only one out of two remains in
operation after the first two
years.
Many people
start their small businesses for the wrong
reasons.
They want to get away from the
paper work of their present jobs or to
exchange the responsibility of their
present jobs for free life styles. But
more, not less, paper work and
responsibility come with ownership of a
small business.
Thomas is the owner of the news
magazine Mother Earth, which is
now
quite successful. He says that he had to work
sixty hours without
stopping when he
was trying to bring out the first issue.
Thomas had
waited for years after he came up with the idea
for
Mother Earth. During that time, he
collected as much information as he
could about his business. He borrowed
books from the library, talked to
successful people in the field, and
began planning carefully the amount
of
money and the kinds and numbers of supplies he
would need. When
he finally opened with
a capital of $$1,500, he set up his office in the
kitchen and his printing press in the
garage. Owing to his devotion to
business, his talent, and his skill in
management, Mother Earth now has
a
circulation of 300,000.
Not all small businesses are doing as
fine as Mother Earth is 50% of
the
450,000 that start in America every year fail.
Still, 95% businesses in
the US can be
called “small”. Altogether these
businesses amount to 40%
of
America’s gross national product.
ing to the
passage, which of the following is true of the
small businesses in the US?
of them close down in the
first two years.
of them fail within the first two
years.
all

half of them continue to operate after
the first two years.

small businesses in
order to

Sino-Japan Animosity Lessens
Chinese and
Japanese people view each other slightly more
positively than last year
,
according to a survey released on Wednesday at
a press conference in Beijing.
The survey is
jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO, a
Japanese think tank similar to the
American Council on Foreign Relations.
It also found overwhelming agreement in
both countries that
Sino-Japanese
relations were important.
The survey is a part of the Beijing-
Tokyo Forum, an annual gathering
of
senior government officials and representatives
from Chinese and
Japanese NGOs designed
to improve communication and understanding
between the two countries.
Conducted every year for
five years now, the survey focused on two
different groups of people: ordinary
citizens, and intellectuals. In China,
the intellectual group was comprised
mainly of university students from
well-known schools like Peking
University. In Japan, the
group was
mainly made up of previous members of Genron NPO.
Among ordinary
Chinese polled, 35.7 percent said they have
good
increase compared with
last year
. 45.2 percent of Chinese
students had
a positive impression of
Japan, two percentage points more than last
year
. Only 26.6 percent of
Japanese have a positive impression of China,
however
.
Still, an overwhelming
majority of the respondents from each
country said Sino-Japanese relations
were
leaders to deepen talks and
cooperation with each other
.
But 51.9
percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of
students in
China said they saw no
change in relations between the two countries
over the last year
. In
Japan, 64.8 percent of those ordinary people and
53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed
shared the view that there was no
improvement in bilateral ties this
year
.
Historical issues and territorial
disputes remain two major obstacles
to
improving bilateral relations, the survey found.
What concerns the
Chinese most are
historical issues, visits by Japanese officials to
Yasukuni Shrine, and the Nanjing
Massacre.
Perceptions on economic and trade
relations have improved, though.
About
47 percent of ordinary Japanese said China had
been
year in fighting the global
economic crisis, compared with just 30 percent
last year
. The percent of
Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese
economic growth was good for Japan
increased from 65.8 percent to
81.4
percent this year
.
Cooperation in East Asian
issues, trade and investment, energy, and
the environment and climate change top
the list of common concerns
that people
in China and Japan want their leaders to talk
about in
bilateral meetings, the survey
found.
Civil
exchanges were regarded by the most people from
the both
countries as an important way
to improve relations. 90.7 percent of the
students and 85.7 percent of the
ordinary people in China and 95.8% of
intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary
people in Japan viewed civil
exchanges
as
Chinese and
Japanese both learn about each other's countries
mostly through television news and
newspapers, the survey found.
of the following
statements about the survey is true?

Anger Is Dangerous to Your
Health
Doctors
say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion,
unless you
learn how to deal with it.
They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart
disease, stomach problems, headaches,
emotional problems and
possibly
cancer
.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all
feel from time to time. Some
people
express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way.
Others burst
with anger
,
losing control of themselves. But still other
people control
their anger
.
They cannot or will not express it.
For years many doctors
thought that controlling one’s a
nger
was
more dangerous to a person’s health
than expressing it. They said that
when
a person is angry, the brain lets out the same
hormones that are
produced during tense
situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood
pressure and narrow the blood vessels.
In general, the person feels
excited
and ready to act.
Doctors said that controlling these
feelings only makes the feelings
continue. And this can lead to many
medical problems. Doctors thought
a
person could prevent these problems by letting the
anger out by
expressing it freely. But
recently some doctors held a different view.
They said that people who express anger
too often and violently did
become, in
fact, more and not less angry. They said this,
too, can cause
medical problems.
Some doctors
say that both controlling and expressing anger can
be
dangerous. They believe that those
who express anger strongly may be
more
likely to develop heart disease, and they believe
that those who
keep their anger inside
may face a greater danger of high blood
pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning
how to deal with anger
. They say
the first step is to admit that you are
angry and to recognize the real
cause
of the anger
, then decide if the cause
is serious enough to get
angry about.
If it is, they sa
y, “Do not express
your anger while angry.
Wait until your
anger has cooled down and you are able to express
yourself calmly and
reasonably.”

So What
A man was coming home late
one night----
about three o’clock in the
morning----when he saw a guy standing
in front of a house with a horse.
The
man with the horse stopped him and
said, “___46___”
“Well, what would you like
me to do?” asked the passer
-by.
“I want you to
help me get this horse upstairs.”
“Why?”
“___47___. I haven’t got
time to explain. Would you just help me,
please?”
Together they pushed the
horse up the steps and into the hallway,
then up three flights of stairs and
into the man’s flat. When they got
inside, the man with the horse said,
“___48___”.
Fearful that he might be dealing with a
mad man, the passer-by
helped the man
lift one foreleg, then the second foreleg, the one
hind leg,
then the second hind leg, and
there stood the horse in the bathtub.
“Now,” said the
passer
-
by, “would you mind
telling me what this is all
about?”
“Well,” said the man with
the horse, “I’ll tell you. I’ve got a
brother-in-
law who lives
here with me. ___49___. I can’t tell him
anything. No matter what I tell him, he
says, “So what!”. No matter what
information I give him, he says, “So
what!” He’s out late tonight.
___50___.
I want him to come upstairs, open the
door
, take off his
clothes,
put on his pajamas, go into the bathroom, then
come running
out yelling. ‘So! So!
There’s a horse in the bathtub!’ and I’ll say, ‘So
what!’”

moment.

Reform on the
Road
Will the
reform on the use of government cars really reduce
office
expenditure
51
this count? There are no reports 52
such an outcome
although some
local
governments have moved
in that direction.
Hangzhou government
53
its reform last month.
Officials
below the level of deputy
bureau chief cannot use official trips for
business trips. Instead they get
subsidies between 300 and 2,600 yuan
a
month according to their administrative rank. This
reform is supposed
to save the
government the money involving in
54
a large
number of cars.
Hangzhou in
east China Zhejiang province is not the first to
attempt
55
reform. Nanjing, capital of the
neighboring Jiangsu province, did
so
five years ago, yet there is no report available
of how much money the
Nanjing
government has saved 56 these measures. All that
we know
about is the fact 57
government
officials get monthly subsidies for
business
The public have a right to 58 for
transparency on the results of such
reform 59 it is taxpayers' money that
is being spent. Transparency is
needed
because people are 60 about policy-makers making
policy
against their own interests.
Obviously, the
subsidies are not based on work needs. Lower level
officials usually travel 61 than high-
ranking officials. Therefore, the
impact of reform appears to be diluted.
Transparency
alone can tell us 62 the reform measures have
indeed
reduced government transport
expenditure. If there is no disclosure of
amounts saved by the reform, the public
may have reason to suspect
that the
reform is actually a poly
63 the income of officials in the
form of a transport subsidy.
The way
government cars are used needs to be reformed. The
government spending on purchase of cars
was 80 billion yuan in 2008,
and use
and maintenance amounts to around 300 billion yuan
a year
.
A study of ancient Chinese dynasties
shows that the more reforms of
the tax
system, the heavier the taxes eventually 64 on
subjects.
The
only way to prevent this vicious cycles from
happening with
government car reform
today is for the higher authorities to have a
strict
and 65 audit of local finance.

Intelligent Machines
1 Medical
scientists are already putting computer
chips(
芯片
)directly into the
brain to
helppeople who have
Parkinson's disease
，
but in
what other ways might computer technology be
able tohelp us?Ray Kurzweil is author
of the successful book The Age of Intelligent
Machines and
is one ofthe world's best
computer research
scientists
．
He is researching
the possibilities
．
2 Kurzweil gets
computers to recognize
voices
．
An example of this is
Ramona
，
the virtual(
虚
拟的
)hostess of Kurzweil's
homepage
，
who is programmed
to understand what you
say
．
Visitors
tothe site can have their conversations
with her
，
and Ramona also
dances and sings
．
3 Kurzweil uses
this technology to help people with physical
disabilities
．
One of his
ideas is
a
．
This
will be
visibleworld
，
< br>
．
Blind people will use a
visual sensor(
探测器
)which will
probably be
builtinto a pair of
sunglasses
．
This sensor will
describe to the person everything it
sees
．
4 Another
idea
，
which is likely to help
deaf people
，
is
the
．
This inven-tion
will recognize millions of words and
understand any speaker
．
The
listening machine will also
beable to
translate into other
languages
，
SO even people
without hearing problems are likely to
be inter-ested in using
it
．
5 But it is not just about helping
people with
disabilities
．
Looking further
into the future
，
Kurzweil
sees a time when we will be able to download our
entire consciousness onto a
computer
．
This
technology probably won't be ready for at least 50
years
，
but when it
arrives
，
it means our
mindwill be able to live
forever

Britain's Solo
Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when
she was eight
，
going out Oil
sailing trips with her
aunt
．
She loved it
so much that she saved her money for three years
to buy her first small sailing
boat
．
When she was
18
，
she sailed alone around
Britain and won
the
Year
．
But Ellen
really became famous in
2001
．
Aged only
24
，
she was one of only two
women
whoentered the Vendee Globe round
the world solo race
，
which
lasts 100 days

Despite many
problems
，
she came
second in the race out of 24 competitors and she
was given a very warm
welcome when
shereturned

Ambition and determination
have always been a big part of Ellen's
personality

When she was
younger

she lived
in a kind of hut(
棚屋

three years while she was trying to get
sponsorship
tocompete in a
transatlantic race

Then she
took a one-way ticked to
France
，
bought a tiny seven
meter Class Mini
yacht
，
slept under it while
she was repairing it
，
and
then she raced it 4
，
000
kilometers across the Atlantic in
1997
，
alone for 33
days
．
Ellen has had to learn many
things
，
because sailing
single-handed means that she has to be
herown captain

cameraman and

of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of
time when she's
in themiddle of the
ocean
．
she has trained
herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a
time
．
And she needs courage
．
Once
，
in the
middle of the ocean
，
she had
to climb the mast(
桅杆
)of
a boat to repair the sails-at four
o'clock in the morning
．
with
100 kph winds blowing around
her
．
It
took her
many hours to make the
repairs
．
Ellen says
，
down

It'shard to describe how it feels to be up
there

It's like trying to
hold onto a big pole

you all the time and

One-room
Schools
One-room schools are part of the
heritage of the United
States
，
and the mention of
them
makespeople feel a vague long for
the way things were
．
One-room
schools are an endangered
species
，
however
．
For
more than a hundred
years
，
one-room schools have
been systematically
shut down andtheir
students sent away to centralized
schools
．
As recently as 1930
there were
149
，
000 one-
roomschools in the United
States
．
By 1970 there were 1<
/p>
，
800
．
To
day
，
of nearly
800
remaining one-
roomschools
．
more than 350
are in Nebraska
．
The rest are
scattered through
a few other states
that haveon their road maps wide-open spaces
between towns
．
Now that there are hardly
any left
，
educators are
beginning to think that maybe there is
some-thing yet to be learned from one-
room schools
，
something that
served the pioneers that
might serve
aswell today
．
Progressive
educators have come up with progressive-sounding
names
like
in the one-
roomschools
．
In a one-room
school the children teach each other because the
teacher
is busy part of thetime
teaching someone else
．
A
fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in
math and a third-gradelevel in English
without the stigma associated with being left back
or the
pressures of being
skippedahead
．
A youngster
with a learning disability can find his or her own
level without being separatedfrom the
other pupils
．
In larger urban
and suburban schools
today
．
this is
called
．
and it
becomes clear why SO many parentsfeel that one of
the advantages of living in Nebraska
is
that their children have to go to a one-
roomschoo1
．
36
．
We
learn from the first paragraph that one-room
schools
A
．
are the best in
Nebraska
．
B
．
are
becoming more and more
centralized
．
C
．
have has a
strong influence on American
people
．
D
．
need to be shut
down
．
37
．
One-room
schools are in danger of disappearing because
A
．
there has been
a trend towards
centralization
．
B
．
they cannot get
top students
．
C
．
they exist only
in one state
．
D
．
children have
to teach themselves
．
38
．
A major
characteristic of the one-room school system is
that
A
．
1earning is not
limited to one grade level
．
B
．
pupils mostly
study math and English
．
C
．
some children
have to be left back
．
D
．
teachers are
always busy
．
39
．
It
can be learned from paragraph 2 that many parents
in Nebraska
A
．
don't like
centralized schools

Understanding how nature responds to
climate change will require monitoring key life
cycleevent-
flowering
，
the appearance of
leaves
，
the first frog calls
of the spring-all around the
world
．
But
ecologists can't be everywhere so they're turning
to non-scientists
，
sometimes
called
citizen sci-
entists
，
for
help
．
Climate scientists are not
present everywhere
．
Because
there are so many places in the
worldand not enough scientists to
observe all of them
，
they're
asking for your help in observing
signs
ofclimate change across the
world
．
The citizen scientist
movement encourages ordinary
people to
observe a very specific research interest-birds
，
trees
，
fl
owers budding
，
etc
．
一
and send
their
observations to a giant database to be observed by
professional scientists
．
This
helps a
small number of scientists
track a large amount of data that they would never
be able to gather
on their
own
．
Much likecitizen
journalists helping large publications cover a
hyper-local beat
，
citizen
scientists are ready forthe conditions where they
live
．
All that's needed to
become one is
a few minutes each day or
eachweek to gather data and send it
in
．
A group of scientists and educators
launched an organization last year called the
National
Phenology Network
．<
/p>
．
One of the group's first
efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists
alike to collect data
aboutplant
flowering and leafing every
year
．
The
program
，
called Project
BudBurst
，
collects life
cycle data on a variety of common
plants from across the United
States
．
People participating
in
the projectwhich is open to
everyone-record their observations on the Project
BudBurst website
．

，
an education consultant with the project<

．
collectthis
data
，
we'll be able to make
an estimate of how plants and communities of
plants and
animals willrespond as the
climate changes
