Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights).Dr.Robert Alberti, author of Stand Up' Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it's because their self-esteem (自尊) is low."Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves," says Alberti. "There's always a 'superior' around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who 'knows better'."
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive (敢闯的,有闯劲儿的)without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.
In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that______.
A.some people are too easy-going
B.some people are too timid
C.there are too many superiors around us
D.some people dare not defend their own rights
"It's pretty clear that there is a religious movement behind intelligent design," said Steve Case, chairman of the Science Standards Committee, a group of educators that advises the Kansas Board of Education. The board will decide later this year whether to include intelligent design in biology classes.
Some scientists who espouse the theory say intelligent design does not question that evolution occurred, but how it occurred: They believe more was at play than random mutation and natural se-lection. The theory, they insist, does not support the religious concept of a creator. Those who advocate giving it equal treatment in schools have a different interpretation. "Intelligent design pro-motes a rational basis for belief in God," said John Calvert, managing director of the Kansas-based advocacy group Intelligent Design Network Inc.
Americans' resistance to evolution is nothing new.
In 1925, Tennessee high school biology teacher John Scopes was prosecuted for teaching evolution in violation of a state law favoring creationism, in one of the most celebrated trials in U. S. history. Scopes was convicted and fined $100, but the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned the verdict on a technicality.
Critics, civil-liberties groups and many biology teachers see intelligent design being used as a version of creationism--the theory that God created the world as described in Genesis. The U. S. Supreme Court barred public school teaching of creationism in the 1980s for violating the separation of church and state.
They say the push for intelligent design in America's schools comes from evangelical Christians, a group key to Bush winning a second term last November.
We can infer from the passage that Intelligence Design is _______.
A.open only to boy students.
B.a religious movement.
C.an explanation about the origin of the earth.
D.a theory that nature is created by design.
We all know April 1st can also be called April fool's Day. But do you know where it came from? Do you know this day used to be a nation's New Year?
This is the case in France in sixteenth-century, which, when you think about it, may make more sense, for April is the time when spring returns. And the idea of beginning a year with spring would so easily be understood. The celebration for the New Year is pretty much the same as it is today. People hold and join all sorts of parties, singing and dancing into the late night.
Then in 1562, a new calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory for the Christian world. And the New Year began to be celebrated on January first. For any nation, the celebration of New Year is something that can not be replaced by other occasions. And the change of the New Year's date would not be accepted in an easy way. That's also why some people chose not to believe it when hearing the news. So they insist to celebrate New Year on April first, others played tricks on them and called them April fools.
Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers in a similar way on the first of April. One commonly-played trick is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, your shoelace is untied. And the examples we mentioned at the beginning of our passage is among the limitless ways for children to play tricks on their classmates, friends and so on. Most April fool jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The cleverest April fool joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played.

A.criticize the lack of good manners of the American school kids

D.introduce the of April Fool's Day in an way that would interest the readers
