C
Dear Abby,
This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column (专栏) for many years. I need an outside opinion.
I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly-loved children---- all under age of 5 ------ and I am upset with some of their parenting ways.
For example:
They lock the doors to their children’s bedroom at night because “the children might get out of their beds and walk around the house, and we may not hear them.”
If one child should get punishment（惩罚）, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty word, all three are given hot sauce (热酱汁) in the mouth.
I know these parents love their children very much, but can these ways make them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).
Gram
Dear Gram,
Children’s bedroom doors shouldn’t be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare .
Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a way only to make them grow up to hate each other.
Children who use naughty words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth ---- they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the naughty word.
Abby

B. Gram is against some of her daughter’s ways as a mom.
C. Abby is for only one of Gram’s daughter’s ways as a mom.
D. Abby agrees with Gram about her daughter’s ways as a mom.

Although most people know there are Seven Wonders（七大奇迹） in the Ancient World, only a few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids. However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today. About nine years ago, UNESCO’s World Cultural and Natural Heritage (things that have come down to us from the past) List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing.
Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years. Their work is to examine and discuss the suggestions from different countries. They also manage the World Heritage Fund and have the right to decide what help to give to countries for protection work.
Over the past centuries a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm this heritage.
When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it. Places which are on the Danger List include Historic Bridges of Indiana, Elizabeth’s Hospital, Rosenwald School in Southern U. S., etc.
74. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World include ______.
A. Golden Gate Bridge B. Sydney Opera House C. the Great Wall D. the pyramids
75. According to the passage, ______ may provide some money for protecting the cultural relics.
A. UNESCO B. the World Heritage Fund C. the 21 experts D. some countries
76. Why does the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List keep on growing?
A. There are more cultural heritages beginning to appear.
B. More countries begin to build cultural heritages.
C. A lot of cultural or historic places have disappeared.

A. People can still visit the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World today.
B. Rosenwald School is a newly built school in Southern U.S.
C. More places will be added to the UNESCO list.
D. The list is decided mainly by the governments of different countries.
