It covers nearly 4 000 students in senior high schools and vocational high schools in the four countries.‎ About 78.3 percent of Chinese students said they spend more than eight hours at school and 56.7 percent said they study at least two more hours each day at home. By contrast, only 24.7 percent of their peers in the US, 20.5 percent in Japan and 15.4 percent in Korea study more than two hours after school.‎ Around 60 percent of all students surveyed said their burden for studies was the heaviest; however, the Japanese felt their burden was the worst with respondents(应答者) reaching 79.2 percent.‎ Among the five biggest headaches for young people in the four countries were: over－scheduling ranked first, followed by a boring leisure life, unsatisfied appearance, little time for exercise and making friends, and no spare money.‎ ‎“Moderate(适度的) study pressure can better drive students to develop, however, too much will squeeze(挤) their development space, and can even cause harm to their physical and psychological health，” the survey said.‎ ‎“Balancing their studies and all－round development is a very important task，” it said.‎ ‎1．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Chinese High School Students Study More B．High School Students Need More Rest C．Heavy Burdens of High School Students D．Big Headaches of High School Students 答案及解析：A。主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道，英语新闻报道的主题一般都在第一段，因此选A项最佳。‎ ‎2．Which of the following is NOT true about the ‎ survey?‎ A．It took about two months.‎ B．It was conducted in four countries.‎ C．Nearly 4 000 students took part in it.‎ D．It was done only in senior high schools.‎ ‎ 答案及解析：D。细节题。根据第二段It covers nearly ‎ ‎ 4 000 students in senior high schools and ‎ ‎ vocational high schools...可知D项表述有误。‎ ‎3．Which of the following troubles the high school students most?‎ A．Being busy.‎ B．Feeling bored.‎ C．Lacking pocket money.‎ D．Feeling unsatisfied with their teachers.‎ 答案及解析：A。推断题。根据第五段，中学生最头疼的问题中排在首位的是over－scheduling(时间安排太紧)，由此判断A项正确。‎ ‎4．According to the survey, ______.‎ A．study pressure is harmful to students' health B．students need to achieve all－round development C．the Chinese students felt their burden for studies was the heaviest D．most students are suffering from physical and psychological health problems 答案及解析：B。细节题。根据最后一段，调查指出Balancing their studies and all－round development is a very important ‎ task，因此B项正确。‎ ‎ B It's killed at least two dozen people, damaged hundreds of homes, cost some 22 billion yuan in direct economic losses so far and has left thousands of familybound travelers stranded.

Tens of thousands of soldiers have been activated and the government has already provided 126 million yuan in aid to six provinces in the south slammed by the unexpected winter blast.

And what else can be done to ensure that the effects of natural disasters like those in southern China are minimized in the future? ‎ Ni hao, you're listening to People in the Know, your window into the world around you, online at www.crienglish.com here on China Radio International.

For this we're joined on the line by Professor Peng Xizhe, Dean of the School of Social Development and Public Policy at Fudan University in Shanghai.‎ ‎(Dialogue with Peng)‎ ‎ And after a short break, we'll talk about the broader view of disaster management.”‎ ‎ “Ni hao, you're listening to People in the Know, your window into the world around you, online at www.crienglish.com here on China Radio International.
