       Several summers ago, Joe Smith, the coach of a football team, and his family were spending their
holiday in a small town. One rainy afternoon, it was impossible for them to go out to do anything
interesting, so the family decided to go to the cinema. Joe, his wife and their children walked down to the
town’s only cinema, bought tickets and went into the hall. The lights were still on, and there were just six other people there. As Joe entered, some of them saw him and started clapping (鼓掌).    
       Joe gave them a smile and turned to his wife. “Aha, I can’t believe they know me and I’m getting a warm welcome here,” he said, “I guess they saw my games on TV.”    
       They sat down and then a young man came over and reached out his hand to shake hands with Joe. “Thanks a lot,” replied the coach, “I just can’t believe you know who I am.” The man looked
puzzled (困惑的). “All I know,” replied the man, “is that they would not show the film until at least
ten people bought tickets.”

C

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.

There are several reasons for this.

Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.

Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.

Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.

1.China Youth says that more and more ______.

Young people and older people don’t always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn phototaking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

閱讀理解
    Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America.
One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third
owned many buildings in the center of New York.
    The reporter was talking to them about being important.
    "How do we know if someone is really important?" the reporter asked the banker.
    The banker thought for a few moments and then said, "I think anybody who is invited to the White
House to meet the President of the United States is really important."
    The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. "Do you agree with that?" she
asked.
    The man shook his head, "No, I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You'd
only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president
of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it."
    The reporter turned to the third man. "Do you think so?"
    "No, I don't," he said. "I don't think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President
important."
    "Then what would make the visitor important?" the reporter and the other two men asked.

President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, 'It's for you.' "
