21、Many thousands of Chinese are studying at schools in the United States. And writer Liel Leibovitz says the students are following an example that began in the eighteen seventies.
Mr. Leibovitz and writer Matthew Miller joined forces to tell the story of the students in their book, “Fortunate Sons.” The book says China sent one hundred and twenty boys from 1872 to 1875 to America to learn about developments that could help modernize their country.
Mr. Leibovitz got the idea for the book about the boys a few years ago when he was traveling with his wife in China.
Mr. Leibovitz learned that Qing government sent a whole delegation (代表团) of boys to learn the ways of the West. The goal was for them to return to China and help their country.
The book says the boys received their American training in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It must have been a very good education. Mr. Leibovitz says the first prime minister of the Chinese Republic completed this program. And so did the first engineer to build a large-scale railroad without foreign help. The same was true of the fathers of Chinese education, diplomacy and the Navy.
The book-writers had only to open some boxes containing the writings of these men to learn about them. Their notebooks, Journals, letters and postcards were in English. Mr. Leibovitz said he was lucky to have so much information from events that took place long ago.
The students returned to China after about nine years. They no longer spoke Mandarin (国语) well enough to answer questions. Police welcomed them home by putting them in jail. The young men were released after about a week. But they were given low-level jobs.
Mr Leibovitz says it took about ten years for them to rise to higher positions. He said their story continues today with large numbers of Chinese studying in the United States.
【1】How many exchange children did Qing government send to America?
A. 1872. B. 1875.

23、Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a lowkey coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on emails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.
After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.
Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different person when it comes to acting.”
Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Texas to LA , where they are settling now.
【1】When was it that Selena arrived at the lowkey coffee shop?

B.Three famous films filmed in 2012 have shown her teen style.
C.The film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick filmed in 2012.
D.Each of the three films marks Selena's move away from her teen style.
【3】What did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?
A.She thought of playing in Disney a blessing.
B.She didn't feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.
C.She found her not accomplished in her performance in Disney.
D.She believed her being part in Disney Channel a blessing.
【3】The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means “________”.

24、 In Europe, there are countless cities which are worth visiting, among which Prague and Vienna are both wonderful and exciting cities with a stunning modern atmosphere and ancient history and culture. If you’ve got a European vacation planned, but your limited time or budget can only allow you to explore one of these amazing cities, it may not be an easy decision to make, since each of them may own some unique or outstanding features.
Sightseeing
While both cities are rich in sightseeing adventures, Prague is definitely more beautiful as a city. You can walk along the Danube River for breathtaking views, sit in one of the many cafes that dot the urban landscape, and breathe in the amazing architecture both old and modern that makes up this Central European metropolis (都市). Vienna is a hotbed of history, home to such great sites such as the Hofburg, Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
Shopping
You most likely don’t travel all the way to Europe just to go shopping. But, if you happen to be a shopaholic, Vienna is definitely a better choice. But be warned: fine goods you buy in Vienna will sometimes be three times more expensive than what they are in the United States or Canada.
Cuisine
When it comes to great dining, both cities are equally fascinating. Austrians are known for their love of sweets and snacks, which is reflected in many bakeries, cafés, and restaurants scattered around Vienna. Some restaurants in either city offer local cuisine, though you’re more likely to be eating a combination of Western European or even Americanized food. Bear in mind that Prague (being that it is in Central Europe) will be far less pricey than Vienna.
Culture
What do you hope to see on your trip? Palaces? Medieval Cathedrals? The Opera? How about museums? If you do happen to visit both cities, you’ll find that culture equally as enriching. However, Vienna has more world-class museums which display the rich history of the area.
【1】Which word can best describe Vienna about sightseeing?
A.Diverse. B.Historic. C.Modern. D.Romantic.
【2】Which of the following statement is true according to the text?
A.Prague has more appealing tourist attractions than Vienna.
B.Vienna is a paradise for shopping due to the cheap goods there.
C.The food can cost more in Vienna compared with that in Prague.
D.Prague is home to many world-known museums and cathedrals.
【3】How does the author organize the passage?
A.By comparison. B.By listing examples.
C.By providing figures. D.By asking questions.

In frustration and distress, I asked her, "Don't you__________who you marry? ""Of course I care, "she answered." This is why I must let my parents choose a boy for me.
