     14-year-old Jason Morgan talks about an exciting science project.
     Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of
Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers' led by the scientist Dr Matt Phillips,
was trying to learn more about the fish and different creatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower
Gardens are a long way from the shore (海岸) and we spent three days on a boat.
     The team used a piece of underwater equipment called ROV to collect information. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times. 
     However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving (潛水) into the water. At first, I was quite scared---mainly
because I couldn' t see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn't afraid anymore.
It was amazing to see the colorful fish swimming around and I could see all the ways to the Flower Gardens,
which are almost 30 meters down. I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also
learnt new things about science and research projects. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think
about my goals (目標) in life. The experience will help me work harder to become a scientist.
1. Jason and the team stayed on the boat for ______ days.
A. three
B. two
C. five
D. eight
2. What did Jason think of the ROV?

D. It was an expensive piece of equipment.
3. Jason didn't ______ in the Flower Gardens.
A. operate the ROV
B. walk along the shore
C. dive in the water
D. see many colorful fish
4. What influence has the trip had on Jason?
A. It has changed his opinion of science.
B. It has improved the way he works in a team.
C. It has made him more interested in the sea.
D. It has encouraged him to work harder towards his goals.
5. What might Jason write in his diary about the trip?
A. It was interesting to work with Dr Phillips and his team but I wish someone else had been on the trip.
B. The Flower Gardens are beautiful but scientists are worried that pollution are worried that pollution.
C. The trip was like a holiday and I saw some amazing fish. The only thing I dislike was
     collecting information about the sea.
D. Going to the Flower Gardens was great fun. I now know much more about science but
     I realize there's still a lot more to learn.

C

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.

There are several reasons for this.

Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.

Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.

Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.

1.China Youth says that more and more ______.

A.boys are clever than girls

B.boys can’t go to school
