21、For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship（实习）. In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between. Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.
In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.
But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable（易受影响的）kids with no jobs and no skills.
Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.
However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting (使人气馁的). In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.
“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job.” said Michael, a researcher in the US.
【1】In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers__________.
A. have enough career-related courses
B. need more career advice from their schools
C. perform better in exams than German students
D. can get higher earnings in later years
【2】According to Robert Schwartz, _________.
A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US
B. students should get contact with the working world at high school
C. education reform should focus on students’ performance in exams
D. teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience
【3】What can be learned from the text?
A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.
B. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.
C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.
D. High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Arguments about recent US education reform.
B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.
C. The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.

22、China, known for its variety of cuisines, can illustrate the history of 5,000 years from food alone. 【1】 We should be more aware of the significance of food education, because knowing how to eat is the greatest guarantee for health. Food education in China should cover these essential areas.
Establish correct values.
Food education in China should be designed to guide and drive children to establish correct values. 【2】 Food education should arouse their appreciation of the labor of others.
【3】
Second, food education in China should also show the inheritance of culture. Many traditional festivals are characterized by their own dishes, such as zongzi, a pyramidal glutinous rice dumpling for the Dragon Boat Festival; mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival; and dumplings during Chinese New Year. The combination of food education and traditional Chinese culture enables students to taste in their mouth and remember in their heart“, thus passing on the tradition to the future generations.
Bulled harmony rela1onships.
Food helps Lo maintain and enhance relationships: Food is the paramount necessity of the people and Chinese culture has always valued “reunion dinners”. 【4】

23、The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chart without any problem. The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of different sizes from 20 feet away. But being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are concerned.
Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped (缺陷）。 The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building. It can make fine visual distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina (视网膜）。 And in water, humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well in both the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae (凹窝）－areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones, that provide visual distinctions. One fovea permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time. A frog's vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion picture. Known as “bug detectors”， a highly developed set of cells in a frog's eyes responds mainly to moving objects. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn't see them as food and would starve.
The bee has a“compound”eye,which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a pattern of dots, or mosaic. With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun. A bee's eye also gauges (测量） flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect vision” paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can't-ultraviolet light. Thus, what humans consider to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species.
However, there is still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the pleasures of color vision.
【1】How is hawk's eyesight better than ours?
A．It can identify small items more quickly than we do.
B．It can see at a longer distance than we do.
C．It has more cones in the retina than any other species.
D．It has bigger eyes than we do.
【2】Monocular vision enables the kingfisher to
A．avoid farsightedness
B．be able to see underwater
C．move one eye at a time
D．focus its eyes on the prey
【3】A bee finds its direction by
A．dividing what it sees into thousands of dots
B．constantly gauging its flying speed
C．using the sun as a constant point of reference
D．measuring the angle of the sun
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The differences between human eyes and other species' eyes.
B．The advantages of other species' eyes in comparison with human eyes.
C．The factors that make other species' eyes better than human eyes.
D．The standard that determines the "perfect vision" of human eyes.
