CNN news-Jan. l6, 2013
Protests have been going on for about a week now in the northern Irish capital of Belfast. They started out peacefully, but some of them turn violent later on. There is a lot of history behind these protests, and it starts with geography. What’s interesting is that Northern Ireland is not part of the republic of Ireland. It’s part of the United Kingdom, and that’s what’s behind this tension. Nationalists, mostly Catholic, think Northern Ireland should be part of the Republic of Ireland. Unionists or Loyalists, mostly Protestants, wanted to stay part of the United Kingdom. The conflict between those two groups led to decades of violence, more than 3,000 people were killed before a peace deal was signed in l998. The protests happening now are connected to a decision regarding the British flag. In Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, the flag used to fly over City Hall every day of the year. Last month, loca1 officials decided to limit that to 18 days per year. Unionists weren’t happy about that. In some cases protesters have thrown concrete blocks, bricks, even gasoline bombs at police. Officers have responded by using water cannons to break up the protests.
Next up, we are heading to the capital of China. Beijing. Experts say that city has something in common with Los Ange1es: smog. This gray haze is hanging in the air, making things hard to see. Yesterday，the numbers indicating smog levels were off the charts. Authorities warn people there to stay inside. Last year nearly 700 flights were canceled at Beijing airports because of haze and smog. Officials in China say that the air quality in the capital has gotten better since Beijing hosted the 2008 Olympics, but residents say the pollution levels have gotten worse.

第一节: 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下列短文并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
【1】Environment is very important to a student’s success. A child who is in comfortable environment learns more and enjoys class better than a child who is not. A classroom with good decoration such as the students’ art works, and enticing games and crafts makes for an inviting opportunity for the students to learn while still having fun. Classrooms need to be fun and rewarding while still offering high standards of education.
【2】Children need to feel welcomed and safe in their learning environment. If ____ at school with bullies or a teacher, the parents should consult the school system to resolve the problem. Pay attention to your children. Ask how their day at school went, ask what they learned, and always be attentive to any problems they speak of.
【3】Learning for a child should be fun and entertaining. No one likes to feel forced to do something they do not want to do. Fun learning allows for children to learn and not really even realize they are doing so. Children like to feel smart and special. Smaller classrooms allow for more one-on-one time between student and teacher. This can often greatly improve students’ learning. Keeping up with the class makes a child feel more comfortable and more eager to attend class and try to learn. Smaller classrooms also ensure that children receive recognition for a job well done. This boosts self-confidence as well as the eagerness to learn.
【4】We cannot expect school to be the only comfortable environment a child needs to be in. A child’s home life can affect how they feel about school. Actually, learning is about how we feel about ourselves. Environment is important but as you can see it is not all matters in the learning process.
