单选题There were 30 students and ______ of them passed the exam.
单选题Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was reading at school were starting to
get on her nerves
. She enjoyed
Where the Red Fern Grows and The Shiloh Series
, but those classics, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white boys or dogs—or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.
What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children"s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children"s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists (主角). Her campaign called "#1000BlackGirlBooks" was a big success. (77)
She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books!
"Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity." Marley says. (78)
"The biggest thing I"ve learned is that kids" voices need to be heard."
In the future, Dias wants to be the editor (编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career. At 11, she"s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.
Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing (漂白) in this industry extends beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.
However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.

单选题Why don't birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have been puzzled over this question for many years. Now they're beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night? (37) Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird's cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. The stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they seemingly find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it's too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.

单选题If there is one thing I"m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It"s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feeling really are.
It"s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I"m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually
feed off
each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn"t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it"s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
