About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings．Instead, they receive their elementary and high school education by working at home on computers．The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools,” and that is twice as many as two years ago．

The money for students to attend cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live．Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools．They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well．Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed．These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools．They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school．

Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular．For example, a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall．It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen．Children get free equipment for their online education．This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services．Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending

emails through their computers when necessary．

Students at cyberschool usually do not know one another．But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time．They were guests of honor at their graduation．

"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said …yes? and it was announced again."

It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school

student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine．

"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience（观众）that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.

Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete（比赛）．"She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."

One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...”

As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens（青少年）about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.

When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."

We often think that plane crashes are catastrophic (灾难的). But thankfully, that isn't the case. The National Transportation Safety Board found that the survival rate of crashes was 95. 7%. Sure, there are some accidents where everyone, or nearly everyone, died, but those are much rarer than you'd guess based on what you see in the news. We're going to offer some advice on what you can do to make it out of a plane crash alive.

You've only got 90 seconds to get out

If you?ve survived the crash landing, you only have 90 seconds to do so.

You see, the thing that kills most passengers in a plane crash isn't the actual impact (撞击).

It's the fire that typically consumes the plane afterwards. Surveys show that most people think they actually have about 30 minutes to get out of a burning plane. The reality is that it takes, on average, just 90 seconds for a devastating (毁灭性的) fire to burn through the plane and consume everything and everyone in it.

Don't sleep

Don't drink before getting on a plane. You have to be fully present in the event of a crash. You don't need to be paranoid (多疑) during this time, just vigilantly (警惕地) relaxed.

Remember the Plus 3/Minus 8 rule

In the air world, Plus 3/Minus 8 refers to the first three minutes after takeoff and the last eight minutes before landing. According to fight crash investigators, close 80% of all plane crashes occur during this timeframe, and great importance should be attached to it. In between those times, the chances of a plane crash occurring drop dramatically.

Forget your carryon luggage, remember the kids

After the plane has crash landed and you're still alive, you only have 90 seconds to get to those exits as fast as you can. You need to be reminded to forget your carryon luggage! It will slow you down and block others' escape, and it may injure you or someone else. Your brain does

stupid things in disasters. If your kids are in the plane, keep reminding yourself, "I have kids.”

25. The first paragraph suggests that ________.

A. the actual plane crashes are different from those in the news

B. all the passengers on board are killed in plane crashes

C. the general death rate of plane crashes is only 4.3%

D. all plane crashes are absolutely devastating disaster

26. Why do we get out of the aircraft quickly after the impact?

A. Because a terrible fire will soon destroy everything.

B. Because most passengers in a plane crash are terrified.

C. Because there are many rescue workers outside.

D. Because the passengers on board are too crowded.

27. Plus 3/Minus 8 rule is mentioned in the passage to ________.

A. warn us to pay more attention to this timeframe

B. show us to get ready for another dange

C. introduce us the result of flight crash investigations

D. urge all passengers to change their minds

28. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?

A. Drink a little before boarding and sleep all the time during your flight time.

B. Get to the exits as fast as you can in the last eight minutes before landing.

C. Remind you of keeping your child safe in the same plane firstly in disasters.

D. Carry your important baggage first and forget other things while escaping disasters.

D

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.

Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year?s Eve.

“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous.

In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird?s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.

A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audie nce, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, …Shanzhai?culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.

To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.

29. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ________.

A. Spring Festival Gala

B. fake cell-phone

C. electronic products

D. Olympic buildings

A. the action that a person imitates (模仿) famous people

B. products with poor techniques and quality

31. We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.

A. is held back by “Shanzhai” culture

B. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

C. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

D. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture

32. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. “Shanzhai” culture takes on life of its own

B. “Shanzhai” culture will definitely (注定地) disappear

C. “Shanzhai” culture — the mainstream culture

D. “Shanzhai” culture — the mountain village culture
