概括大意题
part A
A New Citizenship Test
(1)Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship (公民身份) exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (US-CIS). It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are 13 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.
(2) "The goal is to make it more meaningful." explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US-CIS.Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better "understanding and respect" for US civic(公民的) values, Gonzalez says.
(3) The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a "shared commitment" from immigrants for their adopted country's "values". In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude (裸体的) women bathing at beaches and gay ( 同性恋的 ) men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that "newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores ( 风俗 ) "
(4) Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other. Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes (穆斯林聚居区) in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.
(5) Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate (同化) themselves. "Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?" says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition(难民辩护联盟).

Earth Angels
(1)Joying Brescia was 8 years old when she noticed that cigarette butts (烟头) were littering her hometown beach in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. When she learned that it takes five years for the remains of a cigarette to disintegrate, she decided to take action. Joying launched a “No Butts on the Beach" campaign. She raised money and awareness about the need to keep the beaches clean.
With the help of others, Joying also bought or received donations of gallon-size plastic ice-cream buckets. The buckets were filled with sandand placed at all public-access areas of the beach.
buckets allowed people to dispose of their cigarettes before hitting the beach. Two years later.Joying says the buckets are full and the beach is nearly free of cigarette debris (残片) .
(2) People who live in or visit Steamboat Springs, Coloradohave Carter Dunham to thank for a new state wildlife refuge that preserves 20 acres of marshland and many species of wildlife.
Carter and other students wrote a management plan for the area around the Yampa River. The plan was part of a class project when Carter was a freshman at Steamboat Springs High School.Working with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Carter and his classmates mapped the area and species of animals living there. They also made decisions about, among other things, where fences and parking areas should be built.
(3) Barbara Brown and her friends collect oil. It started as a project for their 4H Club after one of the girls noticed her father using motor oil to kill weeds on their farm in Victoria, Texas. They did some research and discovered that oil can contaminate ground water, a real danger in rural areas, where people live off the water on their land. The girls researched ways to recycle oil and worked with a local oil-recycling company on the issue. Now, the "Don't Be Crude"program runs oilcollection sites- tanks that hold up to 460 gallons- where people in the community candispose of their oil.
(4) Five years ago, 11-year-old Ryan Hreljac was a little boy with a big dream: for all the people in Africa to have clean drinking water. His dream began in the first grade when he learned that people were dying because they didn't have clean water, and that as little as $70 could build a well. "We really take water for granted," says Ryan, of Kempt ville, Ontario, in Canada. "In other countries, you have to plan for it." Ryan eamed the first $70 by doing extra chores (零工 ), but with the help of others, he has since raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
(5) His efforts led to the start of the Ryan's Well Foundation, which raises money for clean water and health-related services for people in African countries and developing countries.
