 If you look for a book as a present for a child,you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling's wiz?ard is not alone：the past decade has been a harvest for good children's books,which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.

  Yet despite that,reading is increasingly unpopular among children.

  According to statistics in 1997， 23 % said they didn't like reading at all. In 2003， 35 %did. And around 6 % of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.

  Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way,Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bot?tom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.

  Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds,who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evalua?tion earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months' progress in just one year,whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months' progress,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.

  International research tends to find that when British children leave pri?mary school they read well,but read less―often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OEC   D.being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

1.Which of the following is TRUE of Paragraph 1?

   A.Many children's books have been adapted from films.

   B.Many high-quality children's books have been published.

   A.the number of top students increased with the use of computers

   B.a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading

   C.a minority of primary school children read properly

   D.a huge percentage of children read regularly

3.What do we know about Reading Recovery?

   A.An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.

   B.Weak readers on the project were the most hard-working.

   C.It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.

   D.Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.

4.Reading for fun is important because book-loving children ________.

   A.take greater advantage of the project

   B.show the potential to enjoy a long life

   C.are likely to succeed in their education

   D.would make excellent future researchers

  How do you get your copy of Teens^ Do you order it from us,or is it dis?tributed to you at school? At any rate,it is very unlikely that it will be deliv?ered to your door by a newspaper boy or newspaper girl early in the morning,before you have started out for school.

  But this is just the way that many newspapers are delivered in the UK. Ne?wsagents―small shops in the neighbourhood―employ schoolchildren aged be?tween 14 and 16 to deliver newspapers to their customers. It is a way for young people to earn a little money,and a first adventure in the world of work―on however small a scale.

  I first had a "paper round" when I was 14. I have vivid memories of it, be?cause it showed me a world I had not seen before. I would rise in the morning at 5:30，eat a quiet breakfast, and ride my bike to the newsagent. It would still be dark at that hour and in the wintertime,bitterly cold. It was new and strange and, before I got used to it， rather unpleasant. The experience taught me that I was growing up into an adult.

  At the newsagents,I would pick up a big,heavy bag of newspapers and do a tour of the streets, taking people The Suns , Daily Mails and The Guard?ians they had ordered from the shop. The job would take an hour or so and it could be very tiring. Those bags were really heavy!At first I had problems because of the tiredness,since once I had returned home I had to set out for a full day of school. Still, it was worth it on Saturday morning when I would be paid for my work. What satisfaction to have some spending money in my pock?et,and to know that I had earned it all by myself!

4.What's the meaning of the first paragraph?

   A.It is impossible that you will get a copy of Teens before you go to school.

   B.It is possible that you will get a copy of Teens before you go to school.

   C.Possibly you will get a copy of Teens after you go to school.

   D.It is certain that you will get a copy of Teens before you go to school.

5.Why do the UK newsagents employ schoolchildren aged between 14 and 16 to deliver newspapers to their customers?

   A.Because the UK newsagents are willing to get a little money.

   B.Because schoolchildren will get a lot of money.

   C.Because it is a first adventure for schoolchildren.

   D.Because the young people will get a little money.

6.The newspaper delivery children's work experience taught the author .

   A.how to carry a big bag

   B.how to grow up into an adult

   C.how to endure tiredness

   D.how to earn money

7.What does the author think of the newspaper delivery children's work?

A. The author's school life.

 There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in dif?ferent countries. The origins of most of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days,however,especially those celebrated in western countries, often owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular of these,even though it is fairly recent,is Mother's Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria,during which children took presents to the temple of the " Mother of the Gods". The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However,over the years this custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.

  Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA.Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people—poli?ticians,churchmen, doctors, city officials — and asked them to support her idea: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.

  In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother's Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10th―the second Sunday in May,which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10th was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis's mother had died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10th the official date for Mother's Day throughout the United States.

  Soon there was a Mother's Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.

  Anna Jarvis,a sad and disillusioned woman,died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi?million-dollar industry.

   B.it was the second Sunday in May in 1910
