Although the US is so big and its people have so many different racial backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than Europe．The English language is used almost everywhere in its American form．The American way of speaking has developed independently of English and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in Ireland.

Another example of uniformity(一致)is in habits and ways of living．From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same time of the day and have the same pattern of holidays．In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people or between town and country, than in any single European nation.

Although far more food is produced than the present population needs, America is actually an urban society．Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in (從事) agriculture and most of the rest live in or around towns large and small．Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan (大城市的) areas.

The fact that the United States has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity．Modern industry favors large organization, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American．The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers (制造商) but the products are all much alike.

In describing the uniformity in the U.S．the author does not mention that the American people       .

A．get up and go to work at the same time   

B．spend their holidays in the same pattern

C．buy and eat the same kind of food       

D．have more or less the same income

What can we learn from the passage about the U.S．a(chǎn)griculture?

A．The American farmers need more land.

B．Americans are interested in farming.

C．It is now going backward.

D．It is quite developed.

The last paragraph suggests that ___       .

A．the production size in the United States is very big

B．a(chǎn) single economic unit produces the same kind of products

C．there are more and more competing manufactures

D．people can choose from all kinds of products that are similar.

The underlined part “In most of the things that matter” probably refers to       .

A．in most basic things such as food, clothing and houses

B．in the more expensive things such as cars, TV sets, etc

C．in their land, housing and bank savings

D．in their wealth and income

India was once part of the British Empire, but thanks to modern technology and a booming economy, it has turned the tables on its former colonial master. Indian tutors are helping to teach math to British children over high-speed Internet connections. Early results suggest the idea is improving exam results. But not everyone is happy at this “outsourcing” of tutoring.
It’s 3:30, and pupils at Raynham Primary School in London are gathering for their after-school maths lessons.
Five time zones— thousands of kilometers away—their math tutors are also arriving for class. High-speed Internet has made it possible for Indian tutors to teach British pupils in real time. Each pupil gets a dedicated one-to-one online tutor. The students work with activities on their computer screen and wear a headset and microphone to talk to their tutor.
The class teacher, Altus Basson, says he has seen an improvement in results. “There are some children who’ve really rocketed in their results. Children who struggleto focus in class focus a lot better on the laptops. The real advantage is that each child gets a focused activity and a single tutor,” he said.
Such individualized teaching is the core idea of Brightspark Education, the company that provides the online tutoring, says founder Tom Hooper. “Children today feel very confident online; they feel very engaged; they feel very in control. And that's half the battle with education.Give them control, make them feel confident and enjoy their learning and you'll see them start to improve and embrace it," he said.
Raynham Primary School is among the first in Europe to try online tutoring. At between $20 and $25 an hour, it's about half the cost of face-to-face coaching. But some people say an Internet connection is not enough of a connection for teaching and learning. Kevin Courtney is deputy General Secretary of Britain's National Union of Teachers. "We think, there's a really important emotional connection between a teacher and a child whether it's a whole class or whether it's one-to-one. You need that immediacy of feedback and we're not convinced that that can happen across an Internet connection. In one of the wealthiest.countries in the world, we think that we can afford to have teachers with genuine emotional connection there with the children," he said.
Brightspark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition to supplement regular teaching. The company says its service does not represent a threat to teachers' jobs in Britain.
Parents say they're very satisfied with the results they've seen. And what about the children?Children: "I love it!"I love it!"I hate maths!" So math--or, as the British call it, maths—is still not everyone's favorite subject even with the latest technology to teach it.
【小題1】What do we know about the online tutoring?

A．Indian tutors are helping to teach math in Britain.
B．Tutors and students are in different places.
C．An online tutor helps several students at the same time.
D．Tutors and students communicate by telephone.
【小題2】What can we learn about Brightspark Education? 
A．It shows a threat to teachers’ jobs in Britain.
B．It can take place of the regular teaching.
C．It only pays attention to math teaching.
D．It emphasizes the individualized teaching.
【小題3】According to Kevin Courtne, _________.      .
A．online tutoring will represent a threat to teachers’ jobs in Britain
B．online tutoring has a great influence on British.
C．the emotional connection between a teacher and a child is important
D．immediacy of feedback can happen across an Internet connection

I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.

Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least   31   .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot   32   it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no   33     because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes   34  to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.

On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We   35   had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy   36   the name of John.

John had never been   37   in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 38   he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.

One day, we   39   a match with our biggest opponent (對(duì)手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular   40   He rolled over, and his opponent  41   him halfway through his roll. He was pinned (壓住) 42  !
