(B)
Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication.
In mine countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.
Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.
Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural larders that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy trued and the exchange of goods and ideas.

PEOPLE
NOBLE SMUGGLER
This Thursday, Irena Sendler will he honoured for her work as a smuggler(偷运者). During World War II, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto (聚居区). She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children's real names buried in jars in her neighbours' gardens. (The play', Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed. ) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D. C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.
You risked your life to save the children.
I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don't ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, hut mostly the Jewish children.
How did you persuade parents to give up their children?
I had to answer honestly that I didn't even know if we would get the guards.
What was the most frightening moment?
When I saw a priest (牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be. killed. The children were in their best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.
How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?
I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.
Did you tell your own two children what you did?
I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn't do more.

In toy stores, what is old is new again.
Some of the latest toys to hit store shrives include several
names that were popular in the 1980' s. Among them: He -man, My little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers. Their appearance is surprising in an industry where all but classic toys like Barbie dolls tend to stay in the market for only a few years before they leave kid culture for good.
The return of toys introduced a generation ago, say experts, is largely a generational effect. These toys were among the first to be marketed primarily through TV cartoons. The result: The toys carried with them a much stronger brand identity than toys from previous ages. When those who played with these toys during the 1980s began having children of their own, businessmen realized they could take advantage of parents' emotional ties by bringing the toys back.
We re starting to see a lot of properties and products coming back now for the kids of Generation X," says Greg Livingston, vice president of Wondergroup, a children' s product marketing firm. But other industry observers say this return-of-toy trend is more rooued in basic economics. When the economy isn't strong, they say, toy-makers become more careful.
One of the safest marketing techniques is bringing back toys that are proven successes. "If you're in the business of making and selling toys, you' re going to go the safest route, which is using proven brands," says Stephanie Oppenheimer, co-founder of the Oppenheimer Toy Co., an independent consumer group that rates toys. Other companies use product ideas that have sold well in other countries, such as Japan. Still, Mr Oppenheimer also believes that American consumers simply are not in the mood for new, high-tech toys anymore. "People are interested less in what we wish we had anti more in what we already have," says Oppenheimer. "As a country, we' re looking for things that remind us of simpler times."
86. The expression in the first, paragraph "what's old is new again" means that “ ________.”
A. both old and new toys are sold B. old and new toys are of the same price
C. old toys are in fashion again D. old toys have taken on new forms
87. Which of the following is NOT listed as the cause for the return of the toys popular about two decades ago?
A. Generational effect. B. Economic factors.
C. Marketing techniques. D. Fierce competition.
88. The expression "for good" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A. for ever B. for the future C. for the best D. for all
89. The main purpose of the passage is__________.
A. to introduce the development of kid culture, in the past century
B. to analyse the reappearance of toys popular in the 1980s
C. to promote the marketing techniques of toy manufacturers
D. to show the impact of high-tech toys on the kids of Generation X

We Want Have Our Own Time
As we all know, today students have more and more homework. They use their spare time to do the homework mid to take lessons. Then, students have no time for themselves. Iii my opinion, I think, students should have more time to develop themselves.
First, students should have some time to relax and play. This doesn't mean that they will waste time. We also can study and learn from the play. After doing the homework for a long time, it is necessary to have some time to relax. "No play no games makes Jack a dull boy." We don't want to be dull boys. We want to be good students in many ways.
Second, we can have our own time in order to make our body strong enough. This can be helpful in our further study.
After all. I want to say, students should have their own time to develop themselves.
