Who are the top students in the world, do you know? Last week the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (經(jīng)濟(jì)合作與發(fā)展組織) picked the best students in the world. They are Finnish (芬蘭的). The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 coun­tries and regions (地區(qū)) last year. The OECD wan­ted to know how well students were doing at school.

Finnish students were No. 1 in the reading test and second in maths after Hong Kong students. Those from Japan and Finland were top in science. In the problem solving, Finnish students came sec­ond to those from South Korea. The test also showed Finland had more top students than the other countries.

Finns (芬蘭人) of your age have done a really good job but don't have a sense of envy. You can learn from them. Most Finnish students make good use of the Internet. Of course not for computer games, but for doing more exercises and finding out more information.

Libraries are also important. Finland spends a lot of money on them. Many students have a free card. They read for at least one or two hours a day.

What do you usually do on the Internet? How often do you go to libraries?

1.Students from which country or region did best in the reading test?

A．South Korea.

B．Hong Kong.

C．Finland.

D．Japan.

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Hong Kong students were No. 1 in maths.

B．Finnish students were the first of all the tests.

C．Finnish students did well in the problem sol­ving.

D．Japanese students were top in science.

3.From this passage we know that_________.

A．the test can make the students lose their in­terest in learning

B．the test is designed to find out good ways to use the Internet

C．it's hard to tell who the best students in the world are

D．Finnish students make better use of the In­ternet and libraries

　　●In January or February(in 2006, January 29 th)：New Year’s Day on the Chinese calendar(China, Korea, and a few other places)

　　●March 21st：New Year’s Day on the traditional Persian(波斯)calendar

　　●Mid-July(usually the 16 th)：New Year’s Day on the Isamic(穆斯林)calendar

　　●September：New Year’s Day on most Eastern Orthodox Church(東正教)calendars(Central and Eastern Europe)and, usually, on the Jewish calendar

At a nation’s saddest moment, its greatest heroes are born.
On September 11th, 2001, many police officers and government officials in America worked day and night to save lives from the big fire at the World Trade Centre. And in Japan, after the serious earthquake, a group of workers showed their courage.
The earthquake on March 11th made Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant(福島核電站) turn off and stop its protective cooling systems. And later, a fire broke out.  Workers were told that the plant’s radiation(輻射) could be harmful to human health. Hundreds of workers left the plant quickly. However, a group of workers decided to fight against the fire and the damage, though they knew it could cause very serious health problems. There were 50 workers in all, so they were also named the "Fukushima 50". The workers worked in shifts(輪班).
People knew little about the workers, who were mainly experts (專家) with the skills to control the situation. One woman said that her father had volunteered to stay there. "I heard that he volunteered even though he would retire(退休) in just half a year and my eyes were filled with tears. I am really proud of him. And I pray for his safe return.
