‘A cannn（大炮） sunded as Jnny Fry tk ff n his hrse thrugh the streets f St. Jseph, Missuri. Crwds lined the streets, cheering and waving. Fry rde west fr 90 miles at full speed. He then passed a leather bag full f letters t anther rider. Eventually a chain f riders carried the letters acrss nearly 2,000 miles f wilderness, and the Pny Express was brn.
Between Califrnia and the rest f the U.S. lay a vast wilderness. Mail service was slw and ften delayed. As war amng the states seemed likely, peple wanted news mre quickly.

Native Americans attacked several Pny Express statins, frcing sme f them t clse temprarily.
Despite the risks, the Pny Express lst nly ne delivery during its ne and a half years in peratin. And when Abraham Lincln was elected president, the Pny Express carried the news t Califrnia in nly five days. It als spread news f the beginning f America's Civil War.
The Pny Express service ended in Octber 1861 after a telegraph line acrss the U.S. was cmpleted.Yet the riders' curage and accmplishments still hld a place in legend（传奇）.

Every day, Lucy Dng and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a.m. -- 7.10 a.m.
If they are lucky---rush thrugh their breakfast f steamed buns and ndles, and head ff t what may be the best schling system in the wrld.
The 10-year-lds, wh are natives f Shanghai, study in 35-minute bursts frm arund 8 a.m. t 4 p.m., with a small break fr lunch -- and a class meeting --- sandwiched in the middle.
Outside schl hurs, the girls' lives are lts f extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwnd training, mdelling lessns and chir practice.
Shanghai was crwned --- fr the secnd time … the champin f the Prgramme fr Internatinal Student Assessment （PISA., which cmpares the maths, reading and science skills f sme 510,000 secndary schl students arund the wrld）.Sme experts questin the value f cmparing cities and cuntries. Others pint ut that Shanghais relatively well-funded schls and well-paid teachers are nt representative f the Chinese educatin system as a whle.
Even s, the latest results are likely t see mre and mre educatrs flck east in search f the mega-city's magic frmula.
Prfessr Kng Lingshuai f the Cllege f Educatin at Shanghai Nrmal University has studied the city's PISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix f "traditinal elements and mdern elements". The frmer is related t the high expectatins f "tiger" parents, and a belief in Chinese children frm a yung age that effrt is crucial t gaining a gd educatin. The "mdern elements" include Shanghai's willingness t cnstantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its fcus n imprving under-achieving schls by pairing them with thse that excel; its penness t freign ideas; and the intrductin f perfrmance-related pay.
An bsessin with training has als been the key, says Prf. Kng. As f last year, new teachers have t underg a standardized, ne-year training curse befre starting in the classrm. Once qualified, they are required t cmplete at least 240 hurs' training in their first five years, including nline learning, paper reading, essay writing and s n. Teachers are als encuraged t attend each ther's classes t prmte a culture f "idea sharing, exchanging and psitive cmpetitin".
Outsiders ften dismiss China's educatin system as a pressure-cker-style craze f exams that places t much emphasis n rte-learning and des little t stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting t change. Authrities are attempting t mve away frm testing that relies t heavily n memrizing facts and figures, and sme schls are als giving students mre time t play, rather than just study.
63. The authr mentins Lucy Dng and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs t ________.
A. praise the industriusness f these tw girls
B. give readers the whle picture f Chinese educatin
C. illustrate what educatin in Shanghai lks like
D. criticize the burden the educatin brings n them
64. Why d sme experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1st in PISA test?
A. Because the value f PISA, which nly tests 510,000 students glbally, is cast dubt n.
B.Because Shanghai has drawn mre attentin and resurces frm the central gvernment.
C. Because nly maths, reading and science skills are cmpared in PISA test, which is nt enugh.
D. Because Shanghai has a better system f financial supprt fr schls as well as fr teachers.
65. Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t "dismiss"in the last paragraph?
A. T cnsider smething inferir.
B. T stp thinking abut smething.
C. T give the credit fr smething.
D. T claim the features f smething.
66. Which f the fllwing statements is true accrding t the passage?
A. Strict parents cntribute little t the academic success f their children.
B. Students have mre free time t spend n their interest acrss China.
C. Many educatin researchers are getting t Shanghai t study the phenmenn.
D. Under-achieving schls are usually substituted by thse academically superir schls.

F. We take care f each ther and try t treat thers with respect.
What Makes Me "Me"?
My culture cmes frm where I am frm and where I was raised. I am an American.
I was brn and raised in Alaska. My ethnic backgrund is German, English, and Scttish. Culture is all abut family. It is a family's belief systems, the cultural traditins that are celebrated, and the special hlidays and events that ccur in the year.

‘A cannn（大炮） sunded as Jnny Fry tk ff n his hrse thrugh the streets f St. Jseph, Missuri. Crwds lined the streets, cheering and waving. Fry rde west fr 90 miles at full speed. He then passed a leather bag full f letters t anther rider. Eventually a chain f riders carried the letters acrss nearly 2,000 miles f wilderness, and the Pny Express was brn.
Between Califrnia and the rest f the U.S. lay a vast wilderness. Mail service was slw and ften delayed. As war amng the states seemed likely, peple wanted news mre quickly.
In December 1859, William Russell, wner f a transprt cmpany, decided t meet that need. He and partners William Waddell and Alexander Majrs wrked cnstantly fr mnths. They selected a rute frm St. Jseph, Missuri, t Sacrament, Califrnia. Then they purchased 400 hrses, hired wrkers and set up relay statins （导站） every 10 t 15 miles. Riders wuld change hrses at these statins, and every 90 t 120 miles a new rider wuld take ver.
Shrtly befre Jnny Fry set ut, anther Pny Express rider set ff frm Sacrament fr St. Jseph. These first deliveries reached their destinatins in clse t the 10 days Russell had prmised.
But the rute was far frm safe. On April 18, 1860, a rider’s hrse stumbled （绊倒）and fell n the rider, killing him. Riders faced rivers, muntains, extreme temperatures-and very unfriendly natives.In May 1860,tensins between the settlers and Native Americans turned int fighting. Native Americans attacked several Pny Express statins, frcing sme f them t clse temprarily.
Despite the risks, the Pny Express lst nly ne delivery during its ne and a half years in peratin. And when Abraham Lincln was elected president, the Pny Express carried the news t Califrnia in nly five days. It als spread news f the beginning f America's Civil War.
The Pny Express service ended in Octber 1861 after a telegraph line acrss the U.S. was cmpleted.Yet the riders' curage and accmplishments still hld a place in legend（传奇）.

Every day, Lucy Dng and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a.m. -- 7.10 a.m.
If they are lucky---rush thrugh their breakfast f steamed buns and ndles, and head ff t what may be the best schling system in the wrld.
The 10-year-lds, wh are natives f Shanghai, study in 35-minute bursts frm arund 8 a.m. t 4 p.m., with a small break fr lunch -- and a class meeting --- sandwiched in the middle.
Outside schl hurs, the girls' lives are lts f extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwnd training, mdelling lessns and chir practice.
Shanghai was crwned --- fr the secnd time … the champin f the Prgramme fr Internatinal Student Assessment （PISA., which cmpares the maths, reading and science skills f sme 510,000 secndary schl students arund the wrld）.Sme experts questin the value f cmparing cities and cuntries. Others pint ut that Shanghais relatively well-funded schls and well-paid teachers are nt representative f the Chinese educatin system as a whle.
Even s, the latest results are likely t see mre and mre educatrs flck east in search f the mega-city's magic frmula.
Prfessr Kng Lingshuai f the Cllege f Educatin at Shanghai Nrmal University has studied the city's PISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix f "traditinal elements and mdern elements". The frmer is related t the high expectatins f "tiger" parents, and a belief in Chinese children frm a yung age that effrt is crucial t gaining a gd educatin. The "mdern elements" include Shanghai's willingness t cnstantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its fcus n imprving under-achieving schls by pairing them with thse that excel; its penness t freign ideas; and the intrductin f perfrmance-related pay.
An bsessin with training has als been the key, says Prf. Kng. As f last year, new teachers have t underg a standardized, ne-year training curse befre starting in the classrm. Once qualified, they are required t cmplete at least 240 hurs' training in their first five years, including nline learning, paper reading, essay writing and s n. Teachers are als encuraged t attend each ther's classes t prmte a culture f "idea sharing, exchanging and psitive cmpetitin".
Outsiders ften dismiss China's educatin system as a pressure-cker-style craze f exams that places t much emphasis n rte-learning and des little t stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting t change. Authrities are attempting t mve away frm testing that relies t heavily n memrizing facts and figures, and sme schls are als giving students mre time t play, rather than just study.
63. The authr mentins Lucy Dng and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs t ________.
A. praise the industriusness f these tw girls
B. give readers the whle picture f Chinese educatin
C. illustrate what educatin in Shanghai lks like
D. criticize the burden the educatin brings n them
64. Why d sme experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1st in PISA test?
A. Because the value f PISA, which nly tests 510,000 students glbally, is cast dubt n.
B.Because Shanghai has drawn mre attentin and resurces frm the central gvernment.
C. Because nly maths, reading and science skills are cmpared in PISA test, which is nt enugh.
D. Because Shanghai has a better system f financial supprt fr schls as well as fr teachers.
65. Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t "dismiss"in the last paragraph?
A. T cnsider smething inferir.
B. T stp thinking abut smething.
C. T give the credit fr smething.
D. T claim the features f smething.

B. Students have mre free time t spend n their interest acrss China.
