VII．阅读理解
“I am in and I am in to win,” said Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York State senator and wife of former US President Bill Clinton, when she announced her bid to be the first female president in American history on January 20. Ms . Clinton, 59, formally stated in a video posted on her personal website that she was preparing to run in the 2008 US presidential election.
On January 16-four days before Ms. Clinton came forward as a presidential candidate -45-year-old African American senator Barack Obama made it clear he had the same dream. He has decided to form his presidential campaign exploratory committee. “As Americans, we must change our political situation,” he said.
If he succeeds in the 2008 presidential election, Obama will be the first black president in the history of America.
Although it is still too early to draw conclusions about the 2008 US presidential election, it is widely believed that there is no dark horse, and that either Ms. Clinton or Obama will win.
Ms. Clinton’s unparalleled prestige and popularity is her greatest advantage. Nearly everyone knows her in the United States. In fact, her popularity has actually grown since her husband, Bill Clinton, concluded his two terms in office. In recent years Ms. Hillary Clinton has become the hottest female politician in the US political arena.
Hillary’s second advantage is that she has one of the best political advisors in the country at her side-her husband. Bill Clinton, 60, still has the outstanding personal charm that helped him win office in 1992 and remains very popular. Many Americans value the memory of the good times in the Clinton age. This will undoubtedly be of benefit to Ms. Clinton.
Ms. Clinton’s third “secret weapon” is her outstanding ability to raise money. Former Speaker of the House, Republican Newt Gingrich, once said that Hillary could raise more money than any other Democrat, and that this amount could probably exceed the total raised by other Democratic candidates.
Obama’s major advantage is that he is young, energetic and charming. Obama is quite unlike the traditional politicians in Washington DC. Both media and the public have lavished (大量地给予) praise on him, reminding people of the years of Bill Clinton or even the Kennedy brothers. This is the so-called “Obama phenomenon”. Secondly, Obama is currently the only black senator in the United States Congress, and just the fifth black senator in US history. His father came to the US as a student from Kenya, which will make him popular with African American voters. Thirdly, Obama is an outstanding example of someone who is living the American dream. He was born into a common family and rose from the bottom of the society. He often claims to be the “poorest person in the Senate”. The common people find this very inspiring. Fourthly, unlike Hillary, Obama has taken a firm attitude against the Iraq war. This will help him to win the anti-war vote.
No matter who wins the election, Ms. Clinton or Obama, Americans will face an interesting question-a female president or a black president? Either one would be a new record.
1．People may choose Obama mainly because .
A．he is not so old and full of energy and charm
B．he is the only black senator in the United States Congress

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women's education may be an unusual field for economists(经济学家), but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on incentives(鼓励), provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of(剥夺)an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
Topic: The significance of female (1) ___________ in developing countries
Viewpoint Educating girls is more beneficial than any other (2) ______________.
Families From low-income families From educated mothers' families
Attitudes Girls are of less (3) ___________ than boys. Development should be for all (4)____________
Practices ●There is (5). ______________
investment in daughters.
●Girls axe made to stay at home, (6)_________housework. Girls and boys have (7) _______ chances.
Consequences A vicious circle A virtuous circle
Significance Educating girls (8)__________ to social benefits, (9)__________ advantages and health practices, including family planning.
(10)_________ Educating girls in developing countries is important and rewarding.

One possible version:
There has been a reversal of the brain drain since 1978 across the country. Between 1978 and 2007, about 7,000 overseas Chinese returned to Shanghai after completing their studies abroad. They accounted for about 25% of all returnees nationwide. The year 2008 has witnessed a boom. The number of returnees came up to 15,000. By the end of 2010, a further 22,000 will have returned to this city.
The reversal of the brain drain mainly arises from three facts. Firstly, our government values overseas Chinese scholars highly, encourages them to return home to start their own careers and has worked out a series of preferential policies. In Shanghai, the famous international city, they can enjoy a modern lifestyle. Secondly, China’s economy has been developing at a high speed, which provides them with a vast space of development. Many returnees have achieved outstanding success in scientific research or in high-level management. They are playing a more and more important role. Thirdly, the current global financial crisis leaves many overseas out of work or at the edge of being laid off. They feel more secure at home because the economy is more stable.
I hope that more overseas Chinese can head home. There is a bright future ahead of them.
