Read the summary of his thoughts on education below.For a start, the Government is prepared to send an additional 3,000 teachers to Singapore schools, cut the courses of study even further and change the way the mother tongue, especially Chinese, is taught. But, for the changes to be successful, parents need to help.Singapore has a devoted group of teachers and principals and quite a few of them are outstanding, but the Republic's schools can be even better. To help the schools make a jump in quality, the Government plans that within the next 6 years, it will send 1,000 more teachers to primary schools, 1,400 to secondary schools and 55（） more to junior colleges. Each school would decide how to use its extra teachers. Some may want to make classes smaller so students get more individual attentions while others may have new teachers assist more senior teachers, but the overall goal is to give teachers the time and space to come up with ways to bring out the best in their students.More teachers must not mean more homework, however. In fact, the Prime Minister wants to see the courses cut down so that there is less pressure on the students. Good grades are important but they should not be the only goal students have. PM Lee is convinced that “we must teach less so that our children can learn more.”Another change will be in the teaching of the mother tongue so that students can become more fluent. The key is to teach Chinese as a living language not just an academic subject like Latin. Therefore, the focus should be on speaking and reading the language. To do this, there must be an environment outside the classroom that is contributing to strengthening the Chinese lessons. 56. The text is mainly about in Singapore.A. the education reformB. adding more teachersC. the mother tongueD. ways of teachingThe general goal of using extra teachers is to.A. make classes smallerB. assist more senior teachersC. teach moreD. help teachers improve teaching qualityPM Lee holds that the students should.A. do more homeworkB. give up higher gradesC. study more coursesD. be given more time to learn moreThe key to teaching Chinese well is to.A. make it academicB. have a creative environmentC. give more Chinese lessons D. encourage speaking and reading a lolThe measures to be carried out will have pressure taken off.A. teachers B. students C. parents D. the GovernmentBWatch out, Yahoo. There's a search engine out there with super speed and accuracy. It's really cool.Google is the Web's largest search engine. In just two years it has gained a reputation for surprising speed and accuracy, delivering exactly what you're looking for in a second. The site now does this 40 million times a daya number achieved without spending a penny on a TV or newspaper ad.Google doesn'l need them. In the past six months alone, the site has won a Webby (the online version of the Oscar) for technical excellence, set a new record for search engines by indexing a billion Web pages.Yahoo still has 10 times the audience, but Google consistently ranks first in customer satisfaction: 97% of users find what they're looking for most or all of the time. uYou see people smile when they use it, like they've found something no one else knows about," says Danny Sullivan, editor of an online newsletter.No one is smiling more than Larry Page, 27, and Sergey Brin, 26, who seem certain to become billionaires when the company goes public, probably sometime next year. They make a great comedy duo. When they first met as Ph. D. students, the pair say, they found each other horrible“I still find him horrible,adds Brinbut were driven together by a computer-science project aimed at coming up with better ways of searching the Web.The idea behind Google is that traditional search engines are stupid. They think relevance is based on repetition; if you type in a request for Tiger Woods, say, you'll get websites listed according to how many times those words appear. Not only is this no guarantee of quality, but it's also open to abuse. If you own a Tiger fan site and want to lead more people to it, simply type his name thousands of times in the site's source code.57. The first paragraph serves to.A. compare two websitesB. bring out the topicC. put blame on YahooD. give the background of the topicWhat does the underlined word “them" in the third paragraph refer to?A. 40 million times.B. Achievements.C. TV and newspaper ads. D. Web pages.58. Which of the following wins greater customer satisfaction?A. Yahoo B. Google C. Page D. BrinIt can be inferred that Page and Brin.A. work for GoogleB. are Tiger fansC. hated each otherD. work fbr YahooWc can learn from the last paragraph that.A. Google is open to abuseB. Google remains a traditional search engineC. Google thinks relevance is based on repetitionD. Google is better than traditional search enginesCSydneyA shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23. It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked. The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.4The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing （扭动）about in the water,“ police said. "Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father.Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of waler." He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore. t4There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine”. The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.Police said the bites “cut through to the bone"，but the boy did not appear to hav
