"A very disruptive(制造混亂的) sixyearold child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand," said one
teacher. "I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs," said another. Many people have heard
stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
     Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their
potential, regardless of their parents' wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long
way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in
danger of neglecting the latter.
     Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This
is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of
their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, 
 and unable to use the lavatory properly.
     We are in danger of becoming a nation of families_living_separate_lives_under_one_roof. The
bedroom, once a place to sleep,  has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front
of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and
young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children
are watching.
     Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both
parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They
are responsible for setting boundaries for their children's behavior and sticking to those boundaries when
the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting
that most precious of resources-time-so that children come to school readily and are willing to learn.
1. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A. The school violence.
B. The pressure of students' learning.
C. The right to achieve students potential.
D. The responsibilities of the students.
2. The writer's attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.
A. dissatisfied  
B. unconcern
C. understanding  
D. tolerance
3. The underlined part in Para. 4 means________.
A. parents and children live in their separate rooms
B. parents care little about children's life at home
C. children don't live with their parents in the same room
D. at home children live a different life from that of parents
4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. schools can't correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn
D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society
5. What't the main idea of the passage?
A. Children's behavior at school is worrying people.
B. Parents expect schools to correct their children's bad habits.
C. There is no point in parents' teaching children at home.
D. Don't blame teachers when it's parents who are failing.

D
Is a recently discovered hormone the reason why folks who lose weight can’t keep it off?
Like millions of other fat people, at 530 inches high, more than 300 pounds, Carnie Wilson was not just fat. After trying all sort of diets that didn’t work, she has to go to the stomach – bypass surgery (胃部迂回手術(shù)), ie, have most of her stomach sewed up, only leaving tiny room to hold several tablespoonfuls at most. Result: she simply couldn’t eat the way she used to. In three years, Wilson is one third of her former weight.
Wilson’s experience is not all that unusual, and while doctors still aren’t exactly sure what is going on, a report in last week’s Journal of Medicine offers an explanation. The loss of appetite in bypass patients may be linked to a recently discovered hormone called ghrelin. Not only that, ghrelin may turn out to be one reason we feel hungry and it’s hare for didters to keep weight off.
Nowadays, researchers are careful to stress only what they know for sure. For the three conclusions, the leading Dr. David of the University of Washington says, “I feel very solid about two of them.” The first is that ghrelin levels in the bloodstream rise significantly before meals and drop afterward. The second conclusion is that ghrelin levels are higher on average in people who have lost weight from dieting.
Dr. David is less sure of the third conclusion, that bypass patients have only a quarter as much ghrelin as most people of normal weight. After all, ghrelin is produced by cells in the stomach. Years ago, leptin, a hormone was found as an appetite suppressant (食物抑制劑). But after years of trying, it had to be given up.
What doctors suspect is that both leptin and ghrelin are part of a complex system of brain and body chemicals that govern weight and appetite. That does not mena pharmaceutical (藥物的) weight control is forever out of the question. “In the next ten years, we will be able to develop new drugs to help people lose weight healthily and effectively.”
47．What can we learn about ghrelin according to the passage?
A．After meals ghrelin levels are higher in the bloodstream.
B．People who have lost weight have less ghreilin in their body.
C．Without ghrelin, people are really difficult to lose weight.
D．Ghrelin is something produced by cells in the stomach.
48．What is Dr. David not sure?
A．pharmaceutical weight control is impossible.
       B．There is less ghrelin in the bypass patients.
C．new drugs will be developed in 10 years.
D．ghrelin levels are higher in people on diet.
49．In fact, people’s weight and appetite are controlled by        
A．ghrelin and leptin                      B．hormone and medicine
C．brain and body chemicals                  D．stomach and food
50．What can we infer from the passage?
A．People with a lower ghrelin level go hungry easily.
B．Doctors managed to use leption to control the appetite.
C．Doctors are optimistic about how to lose weight healthily.
D．The loss of appetite in bypass aptient is linked to leptin

D

Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on．Please give me your opinions on this topic．
Rao
12-18-08
So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.
Sai
12-19-08
Man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. If we look at the animal kingdom
We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齒的）
structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian
by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）.
The vegetarian foods are easily digestible.
Santos
12-20-08
Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.
Krishna
01-03-09
When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic（邏輯）is better and suited for hauman beings.
Khan
01-05-09
Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!
68．According to Rao, what is the problem with veg food?
A．It damages our immune system.
B．It has few nutrients.
C．It contains too much omega 3.
D．It is lacking in protein.
69．In the opinion of Sai, humans are born vegetarian because humans______.
A．have the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals
B．believe that veg foods are good for their teeth
C．belong to the plant-eating animal family
D．can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals
70．What advice is given by Santos?
A．To have a saily veg+ meat diet.
B．Not to eat non-veg food every day.
C．To eat digestible food every day.
D．Not to eat food without protein.
