21、TALENT ON PARADE

It is time for the Smithdale Student Activity Club’s yearly talent show. In the past, the club has had performers sing, dance, and play the violin, guitar, or piano. This year the show will be called “Talent on Parade”, and we are looking for performers with great new ideas. In addition, we have planned two important changes for this year’s show.

Two Shows Instead Of One

First, “Talent on Parade” will be held on two nights. Performers in the Wednesday night show will include students in Grades K-5. Performers in the Friday night show will include students in Grades 6-12.

Smithdale High School Hall Wednesday, May 11, 6:30 P.M. Friday, May 13, 7:30 P.M.

No Tryouts (预选)

The second change is that this year’s performers will be chosen in a new way. No tryouts will be held. The first twenty acts to sign up for each show will be accepted. Others will be put on a waiting list in case someone has an act that is not allowed. You’ll be told by telephone or e-mail if your act is included.

If you do not wish to perform but would enjoy helping backstage with lights or sound, print “stagehand” in large letters at the top of the permission slip (同意书).

Rules For Acts

1. Each student chosen to perform must turn in a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian(监护人).

2. All performers must be at the school one hour before the show time.

22、Germany’s top court has ruled that parts of the country’s 2019 climate (气候) action law must be changed because they don’t do a good job of protecting young people. The result is a big victory for the nine young people who started the law suing (诉讼).

The court suing stresses an important part of the climate change: The change will impact greatly on young people far more than the adults. That’s because the effects of earth warming will become more serious over time. As young people become adults, they’ll be left to deal with many problems that today’s adults have ignored. The government’s failure to plan carefully was putting their future lives in danger.

In 2019, Germany passed a new law, promising that the country would be carbon neutral (碳中和) by 2050. The law made a detailed plan of action until 2030. But the law didn’t have any specific rules or plans for climate actions that would be taken between 2031 and 2050.

Last Thursday, the judges of Germany’s highest court agreed with the young people. They said that not taking climate action made the basic rights of young people to a good future in danger.

The young people had challenged the government’s law in four specific areas. The judges didn’t agree with all of the challenges. But having the court support even a part of their case is seen as a big victory. Neubauer is one of the young people who sued. She works with the climate action group Fridays For Future. Ms. Neubauer said, “Climate protection is our basic right. This is a huge win for the climate movement. It changes a lot.”

The court has given the German government until the end of 2022 to fix the law. The climate law will now need to have a much more detailed plan for the actions that will be taken after 2030 to cut Germany’s pollution, allowing it to become carbon neutral by 2050. Germany’s government has said that it will quickly begin working to make the needed changes.

【1】Why did the nine young people sue the Germany government?

A．They faced a higher rate of losing jobs.

B．The government refused their law suing.

C．The local court ruled against the climate law.

D．They weren’t satisfied with the climate action law.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．The adults nowadays are put under pressure.

B．The climate change will influence the young.

C．Earth warming is becoming out of control.

D．Humans feel uncertain about the future.

【3】What is the government required to do about the climate law?

A．Improve the present law.

B．Win people’s wide support.

C．Take strict punishment measures.

D．Achieve carbon neutral in advance.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Business.

B．Health.

C．Education.

D．Environment.

23、With fingers and wrists wrapped in medicated tape, Zhang Guimei, founder and principal of the first free high school for girls in China, was presented with the July 1 Medal on Tuesday.

Zhang met her husband in Dali and worked as a teacher in a local school. Unfortunately, her husband died of cancer not long after their marriage. Sadly, Zhang decided to leave this familiar place. Therefore, she volunteered to teach at a middle school in Huaping, a poverty-stricken county located in the mountains.

Over time, Zhang witnessed the gender gap in education in relatively poor rural areas. Urban and rural students already faced unequal access to quality education, and the traditional belief of male superiority worsened rural girls’ situation. She discovered many girls were pulled out of class for many reasons just before the college entrance exam.

In 2002, Zhang came up with an idea to found a free high school for girls. In 2008, with help from the Party and the local government and personal donations, she founded the Huaping All-Girls High School. With the goal of never letting a girl fall behind in schooling, she often works overtime despite of illnesses. She has walked to almost every household deep in the mountains, talking to the parents about the importance of education for girls.

The efforts paid off. Over the past 13 years, her school has sent 1,800 girls to university. “A cultured, responsible mother won’t let her daughter drop out of school,” Zhang said.

【1】What probably made Zhang Guimei decide to leave the local school in Dali?

A．Her loss of husband.

B．Her desire for exploration.

C．Her love for teaching.

D．Her eagerness for adventure.

【2】What can we learn about the Huaping All-Girls High School?

A．It was founded in 2002.

B．It accepts both boys and girls.

C．It was founded with the help of the local government.

D．It aimed to narrow down the gender inequality in education.

【3】Which of the following words can best describe Zhang Guimei?

A．Determined.

B．Pessimistic.

C．Economical.

D．Outspoken.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A．A free high school for girls was successfully set up.

B．A woman with illnesses faces ups and downs in life.

C．The gender gap in education in rural China is bridged.

D．A woman’s devotion to girls’ education finally paid off.
