In response to Mrs. Dodd's idea that same year—1909, the state governor of Washington proclaimed (宣布) the third Sunday in June is Father's Day. The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion " to establish more intimate (亲密的) relations between fathers and their children, and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations. " The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father's Day flower.
Father's day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother's Day, but as the idea gained popularity, tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities. They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents, such as a tie or a pair of socks, as well as by sending greeting cards.
During the Second World War, American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father's Day greeting cards to send home. This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day, it's now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America.
Father's Day seems to be much less important an occasion than the Mother's Day. Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents. But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries, who have not even a day for their sake in name only.
When did Father's Day officially begin to have national popularity？
A．1907.
B．1909.
C．1916
D．1924

on child-rearing. An eccentric citizen of communist Hungary, he had written a book called“Bring up Genius!”and one of his favorite sayings was“Geniuses are made, not born”.
(2) An expert on thetheory of chess, he proceeded to teach little Zsuzsa at home, spending up to ten hours a day on the game. Two more daughters were similarly hot-housed. All three obliged their father by becoming world-class players. The youngest, Judit, is currently ranked1stin the world, and is by far the best female chess player of all time.
(3) Would the experiment have succeeded with a different trio of children？ If any child can be turned into a star, then a lot of time and money are being wasted worldwide on tryingto pick winners.
(4) American has long held“talent searches”, using test results and teacher recommendations to select children for advanced school courses, summer schools and other extra tuition. This provision is set to grow. In his state-of-the-union address in 2006, President George Bush announced the“American Competitiveness Initiative”, which, among much else, would train 70,000 high-school teachers to lead advanced courses for selected pupils in mathematics and science. Just as the super powers’space race made Congress put money into science education, the thought of China and India turning out hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientists is scaring America into stimulating its brightest to do their best.
(5) The philosophy behind this talentsearch is that ability is innate; that it can be diagnosed with considerable accuracy; and that it is worth cultivating.
(6) In America, bright children are ranked as“moderately”,“highly”,“exceptionally”and“profoundly”gifted. The only chance to influence innate ability is thought to be in the womb or the first couple of years of line. Hence the craze for“teaching aids”such as videos and flashcards for newborns, and“whale sounds”on tape which a pregnant mother can strap to her belly.
(7) In Britain, there is a broadly similar belief in the existence of innate talent, but also an egalitarian (平等主义的) sentiment which makes people queasy about the idea of investing resources in grooming intelligence.
(8) Teachers are often opposed to separate provisionfor the best-performing children, saying any extra help should go to stragglers. In 2002, in a bid to help the able while leaving intact the ban on most selection by ability in state schools, the government set up the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth. This outfit runs summer schools and master classes for children nominated by their schools. To date, though, only seven in ten secondary schools have nominated even a single child. Last year all schools were told they must supply the names of their top 10%.
(9)Picking winners is also the order of the day in excommunist states, a hangover from the timeswhen talented individuals were plunked from their homes and ruthlessly trained for the glory of the nation. But in many other countries, opposition to the idea of singling out talent and grooming it runs deep. In Scandinavia, a belief in virtue like modesty and social solidarity makes people flinch from the idea of treating brainy children differently.
(10)And in Japan there is a widespread belief that all children are born with the same innate abilities-and should therefore be treated alike. All are taught together, covering the same syllabus at the same rate until they finish compulsory schooling. Those who learn quickest are expected then to teachtheir classmates.
(11)Statistics give little clues as to which system is best. The performance of the most able is heavily affected by factors other than state provision. Most states education in Britain is nominally non-selective, but middle-class parents try to live near the best schools. Ambitious Japanese parents have made private, out-of-school tuition a thriving business. And Scandinavia’s egalitarianism might work less well in places with more diverse populations and less competent teachers. For what it’s worth, the statistical data suggest that some countries, like Japan and Finland, can avoid selection and still thrive. But that does not mean that any country can ditch selection and do as well.
(12)Mr. Polger thought any child could be a prodigy given the right teaching, an early start and enough practice. Some say the key to success is simply hard graft. Judit, the youngest of the Polgar sisters, was the most driven, and the most talented, but she was the only one who did not achieve the status of grand master.“But she was lazy.”

Eating disorders(混乱) is very common now.“When I first wrote about this,the problem was pretty much hidden… I didn&39;t expect ii to get:as bad as it is,”Susie Orbach,all intemational authority(权威) on eating disorders,said.
Orbach must at times think the anti-diet message of her book“Fat is a Feminist(女权主义的) Issue(问题)”has been lost since it was written more than 20 years ago.
Girls,boys,old people-even the famously well-rounded female(女性) population of Fiji is failing victim(牺牲品) to fat fears.“If anything the situation has got much,much worse.We now have kids as young aseight and women in old people&39;s homes worried about the way they look,” Orbach said.
Even though it has been proved that repeated dieting results in a little more than regaining most of the lost weight,constant dieting(节食) has become a way of life for many women 48 percent of British women aged 25 to 35 were on some kind of diet and that 20 percent of young wonen dieted all or most of time.Some of them said they would pop a pill to give them their beautiful shape.even if it meant risking their health.
Worldwide,70 million people have an eating disorder.Most are women,but men are increasingly affected,too.
More than half the women and two-thirds of the men in Britain weigh too much,while in the United States more than one quarter of adults and about one in five children are overweight.The idea that female beauty is a very thin body could be changed,if clothing factories and magazines showed images(形象) of women of an shapes instead of selecting skeletal-like models and stick thin actresses.But that is easier said than done.
To get her message across.Orbach is also considering talking to pop stars such as Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell,both of whom have admitted(承认) having suffered from eating disorders.
？？According to Susie Orbach，________．？？
？？A.nobody had suffered from eating disorders 20 years before
B.eating disorders had become much commoner than before
C.eating disorders shouldn’t have become so common as it was
D.Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell hadn’t suffered from eating disorders
Why did people fear being fat？Because________．A.fat was a feminist issue
B.girls，boys，old people were falling victim of fat fear
C.even the famously well-rounded women of Fiji were falling victim of fat fear
D.they worried about the way they looked
Even if repeated dieting results in more than regaining most of the lost weight，in Britain________．A.forty-eight per cent of old women were on some kind of diet
B.women aged twenty-five to thirty-five dieted all 6r most of time
C.twenty per cent of young women dieted all or most of time
D.all the people were risking their health to get their beautiful shape
Which of the following is NOT true？A.Seventy million people have an eating disorder in the world．
B.More than 1／2 0f the women and 2／3 0f the men in Britain have weight problem．
C.More than 1／4 0f adults and 1／5 0f children in USA weigh too much．
D.Clothing factories and magazines showed images of women of all shape．
First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to the introduction of new industrial technology. The normal British working week is Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although some people regularly work a few hours' overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks' paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.
Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left. Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there are more women than men.
Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure time. Even married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other labor-saving gadgets.
The best title of this passage can be ____.
A. Time for relax
B. Time for refreshment
C. British working hour
D. British family
“A paid holiday” (in Para. 2) means working people ____.
A. have to pay for their holiday
B. have no pay when they are on holiday
C. get usual pay when they are on holiday
D. get less pay when they are on holiday
Among the old people, there are ____.
A. as many men as women
B. more women than men
C. more men than women
D. many more women than men
In Britain, married women have more leisure hours because they have ____.
A. work with a good pay
B. a lot of time
C. washing-machines and vacuum cleaners
D. fewer children and more labor-saving gadgets
Which of the following ideas is NOT suggested in the passage？
A. Some married women have more time of reading.
B. Some married women have interesting hobbies.
C. Some married women now go out to work.
D. Some married women still stay at home.
？？？？Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Apopularly-held view has it that “opportunity to learn” is the key to educational success -i.e.the more time children spend on a subject, the better they do at it. According to the recent study there seems little correlation between time spent on a subject and performance of pupils in tests. Young Austrians spend exceptionally long hours on math and science lessons; for them it pays off in higher test scores. But so do New Zealand&39;s teenagers and they do not do any better than, say Norwegians, who spend an unusually short time on lessons in both subjects. Next and of particular interest to cash-strapped governments there appears to be little evidence to support the argument, often heard from teachers&39; unions, that the main cause of educational under achievement is under funding. Low-spending countries such as South Korea and the Czech Republic are at the top. High-spenders such as America and Denmark do much worse. Obviously there are dozens of reasons other than spending why one country does well, another badly, but the success of the low–spending Czechs and Koreans does show that spending more on schools is not aprerequisite（前提） for improving standards.
Another article of faith among the teaching profession that children are bound to do better in small classes is also being undermined by educational research. The study found that France, America and Britain, where children are usually taught in classes of twenty-odd, do significant1y worse than East Asian countries where almost twice as many pupils are crammed into each class. Again, there may be social reason why some countries can cope better with large classes than others. All the same, the comparis on refutes the argument that larger is necessarily worse, Further, the study even cast some doubt over the cultural explanation for the greater success o fEast Asia: that there is some hard-to-define Asian culture, connected with parental authority and a strong social value on education, which makes children more eager to learn and easier to teach. Those who make this argument say it would of course be impossible to replicate such oriental magic in the West.
Yet the results of the study suggest that this is, to put it mildly, exaggerated. If “culture” makes English children so poor at math, then why have they done so well at science (not far behind the Japanese and South Koreans)？Any why do English pupils do well at science and badly at math, while in France it is the other way around ？A less mystical, more mundane explanation suggests it self English school: teach science well and math badly; French schools teach math better than science; East Asia schools teach both subjects well.
The passage is mainly concerned with ___.？？
？？A.establishing a relationship between culture and education
B.exposing educational myths
C.introduction educational philosophies
D.comparing education philosophies
All of the following are common-held beliefs about education EXCEPT___.
A.time spent on a subject correlates with academic success
B.educational achievements correlate with the money spent
C.large classes contribute to poor educational achievement
D.culture is not a deciding factor in school performance
Which of the following statements is supported by the passage？
A.Austrian teenagers do better than New Zealands teenagers
B.Low-spending will lead to good school performance.
C.Students in large classes will do better than students in small class.
D.Asian culture makes students eager to learn and easy to teach.
The fact that English pupils do well at science and badly at math while in France it is the other way around is attributable to ___.A.cultural values
B.teaching methods
C.class size
D.money spent
Which of the following countries does worse in science？A.Japan.
B.South Korea
C.Britain.
D.France
