When it comes to President Obama,most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha,however,has been kept a little more under wraps.
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House,as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips,even if it's not required by their school.
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekend,and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports:one they choose and one selected by their mother.
Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服)before she leaves for college.
The girls have to eat their vegetables,and if they say they are not hungry,they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
While these might be shocking to some,Michelle said,“They're not little princesses. It's just basic rules,boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”
Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
The girls must do their chores(家務),though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
They must play a team sport, because it's about learning how to play on a team,how to lose and how to win gracefully.
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?
1.What's the passage mainly about?
A.The first family rules.

2.What do the underlined words “under wraps” in Para 1 probably mean?

3.What has to be followed after the girls' every trip?

On November 15th, 2014, children aged 8 to 12 got together in five cities around the world to participate in the first Global Children’s Designation. The event that was organized by a Dutch company called Unexpect, challenged kids to come up with solutions for some of the world’s most pressing problems in a day!
The day began with the kids listening to the various challenges that were related to their particular cities and towns. The teams were then asked to brainstorm about which problem they were going to handle and how. There were so many amazing ideas produced on that day.
While some of the ideas were far from perfect, there were many that could be practical like the smart cars which can ease traffic pressure by telling traffic lights of its arrival and also guiding the drivers to the best possible route(路線).
Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect, says the purpose of the project is to introduce children to skills they probably never learn in class. She says that for most part, schools focus on teaching things that they will most likely never need to know again. She believes that for kids to be successful in the world, they should be learning how to be creative, handle new technologies and deal with unexpected situations.
Though the first global design challenge was relatively small, involving only a few hundred of the two billion youngsters that are bursting with ideas, the next one will be much bigger. That’s because in 2015, Unexpect plans to distribute free tool kits(成套工具) to any school that is interested in hosting their own Children’s Designation Challenge. We can’t wait to see what ideas kids will come up with next.
1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. kids have to solve given problem
B. only few kids have amazing ideas
C. kids have to solve the problem separately
D. kids are free to choose to solve any problem
2.What does the project of Unexpect aim to do?
A. To improve school education.
B. To share achievements of technologies.
C. To develop children’s creativity.
D. To predict some unexpected situations.
3.What will Emer plan to do to make the next global design challenge bigger?
A. Reward children with much more money
B. Call on schools to teach some common skills
C. Provide more schools with some tools for free
D. Invite all schools to participate in the project
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Children’s crazy ideas for the country
B. The first Global Children’s Designation
C. Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect
D. How to solve the world’s urgent problems
