7.Nothing says “Happy Birthday!” like having a coin released in your honor by the United StatesMint(铸币局)，and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine differentcoins in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issued stsrting February 12. The image ofa cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor,and no one could havepredicted his later importance,the actual cabin is long gone.Therefore the design is based on the “symbolic cabin” displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraban taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U.S.Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for genernal circulation.The Mint also relwased five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value . Specialeditions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909:a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc . In addition, I the world of “bigger” money,2009has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.What is probably the best title for the passage?

9.Mr.Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective.In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years.At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent.Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr.Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into hisschool.Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior.He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy.For Mr.Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll.Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr.Leonar D.It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 A.m.until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.Leonard，teach not the school’S academic jewels，but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no omework.Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.In Mr.Leonard’S school，most ofthe students who don’t have to pay for lunch____.

12.Passage ThreeIf women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they are only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of beihg seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened;necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stabililty and feasibility?That's for you to decide. Designers and big stores always make money

Passage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.43.What is the passage mainly about?

20.根据以下资料，回答95-98题。 　　Of all Barry H．Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs, perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy． 　　Yes, Landau is both human and an adult, a 60-year-old author, presidential historian, former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector．But so enamored is he of dogs, and so well connected to a succession of presidents, that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy, Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever (拉布拉多犬) . 　　Logistics got in the way, though, and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution, where Landau was doing research: "I'm sorry, but we'll have to reschedule Mr．Landau's play-date with Buddy." 　　Not surprisingly, this is a happy week for Landau, with the new Obama family dog, Bo, joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington．It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency. 　　"Having a dog just humanizes a president," he says．"It completes the picture．It's something people can relate to." And Landau has related to the best of them．He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration．Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles (小猎犬) , Him and Her, and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper, JFK's German shepherd.96 Who was the first president to have a dog in the White House?
