In the PISA survey,  which compares reading,  math and science knowledge of 15yearolds around the world,  Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai,  Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?     Until the 1960s Finland's school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor,  the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years;  some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision:  a basic school for all the 7 to 16yearolds. Compulsory education begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool as well.    Most of Finland's schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system,  from teachers to officials are trained teachers,  not politicians like in other countries.    Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils,  they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations,  teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully:  only talented students go on to a university and receive a master's degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.    All Finnish children,  whether they come from the city or the country,  whether from a rich or poor family,  have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor,  as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education,  the highest rate in the European Union. （1）What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s？_A. They changed the school system.B. They lengthened preschool education.C. They encouraged students to go to private school.D. They learned modern education from neighboring countries. （2）We can learn from the text that_.A. the children in Finland are educated equallyB. the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of sixC. the school system in Finland is better than that in SingaporeD. the school equipment in Finland doesn't meet international standards （3）The author mentions Shanghai， Singapore and South Korea to show_.A. Asian countries are successful in school educationB. the school system in Finland has been very successfulC. students in these places are better than those in European countriesD. the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world （4）What can be the best title for the text？_A. What Differences European Schools HaveB. What Good Schools Provide Students withC. Why Finland's School System Is SuccessfulD. Why Finland's School System Has Changed 3.     Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more healthily and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.    Not only are people being more careful about what they eat,  they are also concerned（关心） with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the socalled "plastic" fastfood hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients in a quiet restaurant with a more comfortable atmosphere. At home,  they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.    While dieting may be viewed as beneficial,  it has also become a serious problem for Americans,  particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological （心理的） addiction. They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight,  and although they look like skeletons,  they still insist that they are fat.    The current wave of exercising,  dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools,  hospitals,  health organizations,  newspapers and magazines,  for example,  are offering classes,  printing articles and so on to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet of the dangers of dieting too rapidly,  and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to "diet addiction". （1）These days people are dieting more because_.A. they are getting fatter and fatterB. they realize the danger of junk foodC. they grow aware of healthD. they eat more healthily （2）Which way of eating is strongly advised in the passage？_A. Enjoying food with phones on.B. Finishing dinner in a short time.C. Avoiding a salad or a sandwich.D.

Within seconds of meeting someone,  he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad's test. None did. Dad was always rightthey didn't pass my test either. After Dad died,  I wondered how I'd figure it out on my own.    That's when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I'd dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother,  discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn't a turkey like the other guys I'd brought home. Jack passed my family's test. But what about Dad's?     Then came my mother's birthday. The day he was supposed to drive,  I got a call. "Don't worry, " he said,  "but I've been in an accident. I'm fine,  but I need you to pick me up."    When I got there,  we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. "How about gardenias（栀子花）? " Jack said,  pointing at a beautiful white corsage（胸花）. The florist（花商）put the corsage in a box.    The entire ride,  Jack was unusually quiet. "Are you all right? " I asked. "I've been doing a lot of thinking, " he said. "I might be moving." Moving?  Then he added,  "Moving in with you." I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. "What? " I asked. "I think we should get married, " he said. He told me he'd planned his _ in a fancy restaurant,  but after the accident,  he decided to do it right away. "Yes, " I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded,  tears running down our cheeks. I'd never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.    "Oh,  let's just go inside." Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. "Happy Birthday!" we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly,  her eyes were filled with tears. "Mom,  what's wrong? " I asked. "I'm sorry, " she said,  wiping her eyes. "This is only the second gardenia corsage I've ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born." "From who? " I asked. "Your father, " Mom said. "He gave me one right before we were engaged." My eyes locked on Jack's as I blinked away（眨掉） tears.
