    "Sesame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world". That is because the television program
by that name can now be seen in many parts of the world. That program became one of American exports
soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969. 
    In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more
than half the country's pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial (種族的), and geographical
group.
    Although some educators object (反對(duì)) to some parts of the program, parents praise (贊揚(yáng)) it highly.
Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems come out when first
graders who have learnt from "Sesame Street" are in the same class with children who have not watched the
program.
    Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited
(受益) from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional (偶爾的) viewers.
In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children
who can watch it regularly.
    The programs all use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers,
letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced
in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate (單獨(dú)的) letters.
    Why has "Sesame Street" been so much more successful than other children's shows? Many reasons have
been suggested. People mention the educational theories (理論) of its creators, the support by the government
and private businesses, and the skillful use of various TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that
mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But
the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.
The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.
1. "Sesame Street" is actually ______. 
[     ]
A. a street in the US
B. a program for children
C. a program for teachers
D. a program for students
2. Children who often watch the program ______.
[     ]
A. can have programs in school
B. will find it a great help
C. will take no interest in their studies
D. needn't go to school
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
[     ]
A. It is shown at different hours during the week.
B. Famous adult stars often appear on it.
C. This program has been on for less than forty years.
D. Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching it.
4. Why is "Sesame Street" so popular in the world?
[     ]
A. Because it is supported by the government and businesses.
B. Because it uses different kinds of skillful tricks.
C. Because mothers watch it along with their children.
D. Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.
5. The best title for this passage can be ______.
[     ]
A. Sesame Street
B. Educating Children
C. TV Programs
D. A Great Success

　　You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．

　　Perhaps you have been told about some habits(習(xí)慣)which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．

Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is to the east of Fujian Province.

island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of our country. And there are a lot of places of interest.
My favourite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the
lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake,
there's a small island. People call it Pearl(珍珠) Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island
the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That's why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake.
     There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is the Ali Mountain. We stayed there for
three days. We also had a dance party with Gaoshan People. On our first day there we went to the mountain
and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw a very beautiful
sunrise. Taiwan is a very beautiful place to visit.
