A
On the first day of the New Year 2013, I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. Fresh out of college with the world at my fingertips, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. Little did I know how awesome my life would be in the coming months!
My journey began with the attendance of TESOL certification course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours’ post-study online, I received my TESOL certificate.
I was put in touch with Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. In close consultation with Philip, I chose my employment school and after many months of excitement, I finally boarded my plane to Thailand in early April, and set off on an adventure!
After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my
program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and hang out in Thailand’s cities! Directly after that, I attended the week-long seminar (研讨会), which is included in the Teach in Thailand Program. At the end of the seminar, I was transported to my employment school---Anuban Buriram Primary School.
I truly love my job--- I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most motivated kids in the world. It’s a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else’s life, right in front of you!
The city Buriram is small, surrounded with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I’ve ever met—I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so eager to say “Hello” and “Good morning”. I’ve been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a digital camera, and even a motorbike, and I am constantly given little Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to pay it forward in the future.

Kids love the all-knowing Google. Your kids likely use Google to help them find everything from information for homework assignments, to funny cat videos, and everything in between. Sometimes kids can take a "wrong turn" on Google and end up in a dark part of the Internet where they shouldn't be. Thankfully, Google has some parental control features that parents can implement to at least help reduce the volume（量） of crap（废物） that ends up in search results，which can enable you to help keep your curious kids from ending up on the wrong side of the tracks.
What is Google SafeSearch? Google SafeSearch is one of the primary parental control options offered by Google to help parents police search results. SafeSearch helps to filter explicit（明确的）content out of search results. It is mainly designed to target sexually explicit material (images and videos) and not violent content.
How to Enable Google SafeSearch？1. From the "Search Settings" preferences page, place a check in the box with the label "Filter explicit results". 2. To lock this setting so that your child can't change it, click the "Lock SafeSearch" link. If you are not already logged into your Google account, you will need to do so in order to lock SafeSearch to the "on" position.
Enable SafeSearch on Mobile Devices. In addition to your computer, you will probably also want to enable SafeSearch on any mobile device that your child uses regularly. For instructions on how to enable SafeSearch on a variety of mobile devices, check out Google's SafeSearch Mobile support page. As we all know, kids are going to be kids and try to test their boundaries. We put up one roadblock and they go around it. It's a constant cat and mouse game and there will always be some internet door that we as parents forget to lock, and that will be the one that the kids get through, but we do the best we can.
38. Which of the following are kids NOT likely to use Google to do?
A. To find information for homework assignments.
B. To find everything except information and funny cat videos.
C. To find funny cat videos on the Internet.
D. To find everything between information and funny cat videos.
37. What does the underlined “options” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Judgments B. Uses
C. Functions D. Choices
38. What’s the first thing you’d do before setting Google SafeSearch?
A. Sign up and log into your Google account.
B. find the “Search Settings” preferences page.
C. Find the label “ Filter explicit results”.
D. Click the “Lock SafeSearch” link.
39. How do you enable SafeSearch on Mobile devices?
A. Read the instructions of the related mobile devices directly.
B. Look for some Internet door to be sure we parents did not forget to lock it.
C. Check out Google’s SafeSearch Mobile support page for instructions.
D. Check in the box with the label any mobile devices.
40. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to use Google to help kids find everything.
B. What is the meaning of Google SafeSearch.
C. How to make Google safer for your kids.
D. How to set Google SafeSearch for your kids.

The Gunpowder Plot was conspiracy (阴谋) to kill King James I, as well as the members of the House of Lords and Commons at the re-opening of Parliament. It was designed by a group of Catholics in protest against the anti-Catholic laws that were being introduced by the king.
Robert Catesby was the leader of the group. It was he and his cousin, Thomas Wintour, and two other friends, Thomas Percy and John Wright, who formed the center of the group. They were joined by nine more men; among them was Guy Fawkes, from the city of York in the north of England.
Fawkes found a store room directly under the House of Lords and rented it out under the false name of John Johnson. The conspirators stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there, and Fawkes, who was an explosives expert, was to light the fuses (引信) on 5th November 1605.
The plot failed because one of the conspirators, Francis Tresham, sent a letter to his relative, who was a member of the House of Lords. The letter warned him not to attend the opening ceremony of Parliament. The letter was passed on to the authorities, who took action.
Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar on the night of 4th November with the thirty-six barrels and a number of fuses. He was imprisoned and ill-treated, eventually giving away the names of the conspirators.
Soldiers of the king surrounded Holbeach House, in the Midlands, where they knew the conspirators to be hiding. In the fight that followed, four of them were shot dead, including Catesby and Percy, who were actually killed by the same bullet. The others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on 31st January 1606.
These days, on 5th November, children all over Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by building huge bonfires and lighting fireworks. It's a family tradition and an occasion to eat potatoes baked by the flames. There is always a 'guy' on top of the fire, a model of Guy Fawkes, dressed in the clothes of the 17th century.

48. What can we learn about Robert Catesby?

Most American students go to traditional public schools．There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US．Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.
Charter schools are self-governing．Private companies operate some charter schools．They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools．They receive tax money just as other public schools do．Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning．These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate．
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools．Local state, or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach．Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them．Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools．
The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students．But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools．One teachers' union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools．
The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress．Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools．
Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools．Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress．
