The high school diploma (文憑) is losing its value quickly, as a growing number of students graduate (畢業(yè)) from school without the math and reading skills that colleges and companies require, according to a new report.
The high school graduation exams that most states (州) require students to pass before they graduate remain far too easy. Most of the exams generally test eighth-or ninth-grade level work.
Today, even high school graduates who are going to have blue-collar (藍領(lǐng)) jobs need to study the math, research and writing courses. But in high school, only students who are going to college are now required to take these courses.
“If you want a good job with a good pay, it’s a high-skill job,” said Michael Cohen, a leading member of the America Diploma Project.
The project suggests that all graduates master a wide range (范圍) of skills. “A high school diploma should mean something to a company and university,” said Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, who is Achieve’s co-chairman.
In Taft’s state, about 30% students who go directly to college from high school have to take remedial classes of English or math, he said. It’s easy to see that the present high-school graduating standards are not preparing students for college education.
And with high-skilled jobs increasingly headed overseas to places like India and Ireland, states need to act, he said.
To prove why math and reading skills matter, the report includes real-life examples of problems students meet in college and that workers must solve each day on the job. ?
Some states are taking actions to upgrade the high school diploma. In Texas, all high school students, starting with the 2008 graduating class, will have to take the college-prep curriculum (大學預備課程) - unless a parent agrees to an easier course load. Other states are planning similar moves.
The report includes examples of reading and math skills that high-school students should have. Project leaders say they hope parents will use those examples to judge (評定) the coursework at their kids’ high schools.
小題1:Why is the high school diploma losing its value quickly?
A．Because the number of high school students is growing fast.
B．Because high school students fail to reach the standards.
C．Because the graduation tests are easier than it should be.
D．Because difficult courses are not required in high schools.
小題2:Remedial classes in Paragraph 6 mean classes____.
A．for good learners to study quickly and better
B．for slower learners weak in the subject
C．for learners to be taught one by one
D．for learners to reach a higher standard
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Colleges require higher math and reading skills than companies.
B．It is easier for companies to find high-skilled workers in India.
C．Math and reading skills help little for workers to solve daily problems.
D．Parents ask high schools to offer college-prep curriculum in Texas.
小題4:What can be the best title for the passage?
A．High School Diploma Means Little
B．Give Students More High-skill Jobs
C．Math and Reading Skills Really Matter
D．Judge Coursework at High Schools

Chinese are very generous in educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities such as musical instrument learning or ballet classes, or other classes. They think these will give them a good future. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend much unreasonable money on education. Even poor parents will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, most parents don’t understand that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very good in some areas while poor in others. Parents can also see some children are good at these skills and others do well in others. Most parents don’t realize that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need are to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence. 
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with, will make him curious(好奇的) and improve his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
小題1:We know from this passage parents in China         .
A．a(chǎn)re too strict with their children
B．a(chǎn)re too rich to educate their children
C．a(chǎn)re too poor to educate their children
D．have some problems in educating their children correctly
小題2:We learn from the passage that        .
A．the cheaper an education is, the better it is
B．children today should learn difficult skills
C．practical skills are helpful to children’s growth
D．school education can’t meet parents’ expectations
小題3:Doing some cooking at home helps children        .
A．benefit (有益于) from it and prepare themselves for the future
B．learn how to serve their parents
C．learn how to become strong and fat
D．make their parents believe that they are clever
小題4:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Broken things are useful for children
B．Interest is necessary for everything
C．Learning to think is very important.
D．Using hands helps improve thinking ability

Chen Jie, 14, from Ningbo, Zhejiang is a lucky girl. She got 3600 yuan as gift money this Spring Festival. However, her grandmother took away all the money and put it in a bank account.
Many students experienced the same thing as Chen. They got their gift money, only to immediately have it taken away.
Xiong Shengyue, 14, from Nanjing, doesn't agree with the practice. "I think the money should be the children's, " she said. " We should take care of it by ourselves."
It is not that simple, said Chu Chaohui, a researcher at national Institute of Education Sciences.
Giving gift money is used to show social status (地位)and develop relationships, he told Beijing Legal Evening News. Gift money has lost its traditional meaning of good will and has "little to do with the children". What's more, children don't earn the money through work. So he thought that parents should still play a big part in dealing with the money.
But Yan Honglan, a mother of a 14-year-old boy in Beijing, has let her son be responsible (承擔責任的)for his gift money since the age of 8. "I want to develop his financial(理財) skills, ' Yan said.
She also added:"No matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to make the children feel they're respected(尊重) and trusted.
Chen supported Yan's idea. She said that though she knew her grandmother wouldn't waste her gift money, she would feel happier if she could at least know how the money is spent.
"It would make me feel a little bit more grown-up," she said.
小題1:Chen Jie’s grandmother ________.
A．took away all her money and put it in a bankB．let her take care of all her money
C．gave all her money to her parentsD．spent all her money
小題2: Chu Chaohui thought the gift money should be dealed with by _________

小題3:Yan Honglan thought___________ is the most important thing.
A．to make children feel a little bit more grown-up
B．to take care of the gift money by themselves
C．to put the gift money in a bank account
D．to make the children feel they're respected and trusted.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Chen Jie got 3600 yuan as reward this Spring Festival.
B．Xiong Shengyue thought children should take care of the gift money.
C．Chu Chaohui thought parents shouldn’t play a big party in dealing with the money.
D．Yan Honglan has let her son be responsible for his gift money since the age of 9.

Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes (改變)will happen. But what will the changes be?
