If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius (天才), they will cause great damage to him. A ccording to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parents’ expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive to their children.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music. Michael’s father plays the trumpet (小号)in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Michael’s friend, Wiston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Wiston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he doesn’t win. “When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered.” Wiston’s father tells him.

As China develops, the Internet’s presence is inescapable (不可避免的). But some get addicted to the Internet. 13 – year old Xiao Yi paid the high price for his trouble. He rode an elevator to the top of a 24 – storey building and then jumped to his death. His suicide note explained he wanted to enter another life to meet the characters from the online games he played constantly, sometimes days in a row. “He had a kind of fixation.” Xiao Yi’s father says, “He threw himself into ad imaginary world.”
Internet addiction got attention in China when stories such as Xiao Yi’s popped up in China state – run press. Internet addicts died from exhaustion after spending days online or murdered others in search of virtual (虚幻的) possessions. Public anger over these incidents spurred the opening of China’s first Internet addiction treatment center.
The clinic’s treatment might seem cruel. But it’s a popular choice for worried parents.

If women are mercilessly cheated year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being 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. Women usually stand in front of a wardrobe full of clothes, 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 changing the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck – lines are lowered or raised, and so on. YC
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. 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, or deliberately 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 fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
64．Designers and big stores always make money .
A．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B．because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C．by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothing
D．because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing
65．To the writer, the fact that women change their old – fashioned dresses is seen .
A．a waste of money B．a waste of time
C．an expression of taste D．an expression of creativity
66．The writer would be more favorable if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing.
A．cost B．appearance C．comfort D．suitability
67．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B．The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C．The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D．Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool – headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to dross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let along master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give – and – take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
68．The passage mainly talks about .
A．road politeness B．traffic jams C．good manners D．modern drivers
69．Troubles on the road are often caused by .
A．traffic jams B．the behavior of the drivers
C．great speed D．terrible road conditions
70．According to the writer, a good driver should .
A．beat back when forced to face rude driving
B．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
C．encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
D．join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
71．The following statements are right EXCEPT that .
A．some modern drivers are not good at driving
B．road politeness is good sense as well as good manners
C．it is also right to have a tiger in the driver’s seat
D．a friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness

As the basic building materials of communication, words communicate meaning, but as we have seen, the meanings of words are very much influenced by culture. Meaning is in the person, not in the word, as each person is the product of a particular culture that passes on shared and appropriate meanings. Thus, if we want to learn to communicate well in a foreign language, we must understand the culture that gives that language meaning. Culture gives meaning and provides the context for communication, and the ability to communicate allows us to act out our cultural values and to share our language and our culture.
But our own native language and culture are so much a part of us that we take them for granted. When we travel to another country, it’s as if we carry along with our passports, we view the new environment using our own culture as the standard, and although unintentional, our ways of thinking and acting often get in the way of our understanding other languages and cultures. The ability and willingness to change lenses (视角) when we look at a different culture is both the cure and the prevention for such cultural blindness. Studying a new language provides the opportunity to practices changing lenses when we also learn the context or the culture to which it belongs.
72．According to this passage, if you want to understand what a speaker means, .
A．you have to understand what he says
B．you have to understand something behind his words
C．you have to listen carefully and guess what he implies
D．you have to share his way of thinking
73．What does the author mean by saying that “Meaning is in the person, not in the word” in the first paragraph?
A．The person gives the real meaning to the word, not the word itself.
B．The word has no meaning.
C．We need to understand what a person says.
D．We need to know the speaker so that we may understand him.
74．In this passage the author mainly discusses .
A．the appropriate meanings of words used in communication
B．the importance of understanding the person engaged in communication
C．the different cultures involved in communication
D．the relationship between communication and culture
75．What can we learn from this passage?
A．While we are learning a foreign language we must know its culture.
B．The meanings of words are not very important.
C．We have to understand what a speaker really means.
D．Knowing a language of country means understanding its culture.

How time flies! The 2007 National University Entrance Examination is only eight months away from now. As we know, there will be some changes in the English examination. Just to give you an example of the vocabulary – students are expected to have a command of more than three thousand English words, which almost doubles in the past.
Words are the basis of the language, so without enough English words, we have much difficulty in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Having a large vocabulary is very important and necessary.
In the past I didn’t pay much attention to word study, especially to word spelling, thinking there is no word test. And now I come to know the importance of words. I will spend more time studying them. In addition, I will strengthen the intensive reading, studying the words in the contexts to improve my English.
