     “Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in many parts of the world. That program became one of American exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the country's pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial (种族的), and geographical group.
      Although some educators object (反对) to some parts of the program, parents praise (赞扬) it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems come out when first graders who have learnt from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.
     Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited (受益) from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional (偶尔的) viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
     The programs all use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate (单独的) letters.
    Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children's shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories (理论) of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of various TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

（1）、Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A、It is shown at different hours during the week B、Famous adult stars often appear on it. C、This program has been on for less than forty years D、Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching it.

（2）、Why is “Sesame Street” so popular in the world?

A、Because it is supported by the government and businesses B、Because it uses different kinds of skillful tricks. C、Because mothers watch it along with their children. D、Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.

（3）、The best title for this passage can be _________.

A、Sesame Street B、Educating Children C、TV Programs D、A Great Success

In China, two-child policy(政策) has come out. That's to say, China now allows two children for each family. However, different people have different opinions about it. Some parents are willing to have a second child as soon as possible. They think the second baby is a gift for themselves. One child will feel lonely when his parents go out for work. Two kids will help each other and share happiness and sadness together. In Chinese tradition, the old people wouldn't like to spend their later life in the old people's home. After the second baby grows up, he will be able to share the pressure of looking after his old parents. China has become a country with an increasing number of old people. Two-child policy will improve the balanced (平衡的) development of population. However, other parents refuse the second child because they have some worries. For example, they can't afford the cost of education. They also worry that their two children won't get along with one another. Maybe the young people can't find jobs easily in the future. For our country, perhaps the policy will lead to the house and population problems.

In a word, more and more families will have a second child. Do you mind having a brother or a sister?

Do you know about any manners(礼仪) in England? How can you act politely when you are in England? This guide will help you to do things as the English people do.

Visiting a museum

There certainly are a lot of rules in museums. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything or bring any drinks and food. You can't take any photos in some museums, either.

Standing in line

English people always wait in line in shops. If you don't stand in line, people will think you are impolite. At the bus stop, you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to wait your turn.

Meeting a new person

When people meet for the first time, the usual custom is to shake hands. The next time you meet that person, you can just say "hello". English people don't usually hug or kiss, unless they know each other really well.

Talking to people

To start a conversation, English people are always happy to talk about the weather. For example, you can start with" Isn't it warm today'?". This is much better than asking about age, politics(政治) or how much money people make.

Saying "Please, Thank You, Excuse Me and Sorry"

If somebody is in your way and you would like them to move, say" excuse me "and they will do it. If you are in someone's way, or you bump into others when you pass by, you should say "sorry". They will probably say "sorry", too, even if it is not their mistakes. So saying "sorry" does not always mean you are wrong. Sometimes it is just a polite thing.
