A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end many parents’ worries fearful for their children’s safety on the roads. 
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will attend their nearest school.
The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school . But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60% parents have said they would like their children to take part . Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to  Impington . The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in had asked if transport could be provided for their children to see if they would like to take part in the new plan. 
小題1:What is the aim(目的) of the plan?

It may be the happiest place on Earth, but the Magic Kingdom has become a little more restrictive(限制的) for the children hoping to enjoy Disney’s US parks on their own. Beginning on March 23 of this year, anyone under the age of 14 must go there with someone over 14. If a worker who works at the front gates sees a child who looks younger than 14 without a person who looks older than that, he will have a talk with the tourist. If he is sure the tourist is under 14, his parents will be contacted to pick them up.
Before this, Disney did not have any age restrictions(限制) for tourists. The new rule was set up after Disney conducted a survey of its tourists and contacted various child welfare association(福利機構(gòu)). They both thought it was necessary to have the age requirement. The American Red Cross suggested that 14 is the minimum(最小的) age for babysitters(保姆).
News of the age restriction comes nearly a week. A child on vacation with his father and mother fell into a pool and died at Disneyland Pop Century Resort(度假村). Anthory Johnson was swimming in the hotel pool with a group of children including his little brother and a cousin at about 9:30 pm when the accident happened. Witnesses said the teen was playing in the water on Sunday evening without family members. A cousin found him under water around 9:10 pm and told others in the group who pulled him out of water. Orange Country Sheriff’s officials said after Anthony was taken to nearby hospital, he died several days later.
小題1:How does the worker know the child is under 14?
A．By contacting with his parents.
B．By seeing if the child comes on his own.
C．By seeing if the child comes with his parents.
D．By looking at the child’s appearance and talking with him.
小題2:What ISN’T the reason for setting up the new rule?
A．14 is the minimum age for babysitters.
B．Children like to play in Disney’s US parks with their parents.
C．Tourists think it’s necessary to have the age requirement.
D．A child on vacation with his parents died in a pool at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
小題3:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．The happiest place for children.
B．A new rule of age requirement about children who go to Disneyland.
C．A survey of age requirement about children who go to Disneyland.
D．A child who fell into a pool and died at Disneyland.

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.
小題1: What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?
A. The art began from 1,500 B.C.    
B. The works of art ended in the 1950s.
C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.
D. Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.
小題2:How many people in the world are left-handed now?
A．About 10%-15%.B．About 50%.
C．About 40%.D．The passage doesn’t tell us.
小題3:What is the left hand for most people used to do?
A．It’s used to work with things.
B．It’s used to find or hold things.
C．It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.
D．It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
B．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
C．No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
小題5:The best TITLE for this passage is _______.
A．Scientists’ New InventionsB．Left-handed People
C．How Brains Control HandsD．Which Hand
