“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive(自由的) period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
　　Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students—“so passive”—and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re not training kids to work any more.” says Klompus. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, Instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
　　Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them no again.
67.To such children as described in the passage __________.
A. neither is easy to say yes or say no
B. it is easier to say no than to say yes
C. it is easier to say yes than no
D. neither is difficult to say yes or say no
68.We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on(強調;重視) ________.
A. natural development   B. education at school  C. learning Latin   D. discipline
69.By “permissive period in education” the author means a time ________.
A. when everything can be taught at school
B. when children are permitted to receive education
C. when children are allowed to do what they wish to
D. when every child can be educated
70.The main idea of the passage is that _______.
A. It’s time to be more strict with our kids
B. parents should always set a good example to their kids
C. parents should leave their children alone
D. kids should have more activities at school

Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets with heads bowed as people pass them by in Cambridge’s market center. Some ask passers-by for change and some just sit and wait to be given money. A few use aggressive behaviour to earn money.
To solve the problem of aggressive begging, an “alternative giving ” plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless causes.
Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems. But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality to feed their addictions. The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food and clothes.
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Governments must play a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option. This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist.
The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.

SHE dresses in saggy (寬松的) pants and is crazy about the pop star, Rain. Bin Xue is in love with South Korean culture. The 19-year-old from Sichuan Province feels a strong connection with the neighboring country.
"The two nations have a long history of friendship and there are many similarities between them," she said. "But Koreans are iron-willed, and we could learn this quality from them."
Bin is not the only Chinese deeply affected by Korean culture. A recent survey shows that most Chinese teenagers think highly of their eastern neighbor.
However, Koreans do not view the Chinese in the same good light. In a recent survey, only 5.5 per cent of Korean teens thought the Chinese people friendly.
The survey among high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the United States, was conducted in 156 high schools. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned on success, family, their self-identity (自我意識), as well as their opinions about the world at large.
Results showed that most Korean teens gave a low score to the Chinese for patriotism (愛國心), responsibility and honesty. In their eyes, Chinese people are not hard-working and don't obey the rules.
"The result is surprising, but it does reflect a real information gap between teenagers in the two countries," said Lei Li, a psychology professor from the Capital Normal University.
Experts say that Chinese students' positive feelings about South Korea were a result of the booming (繁榮) popularity of Korean pop music. Korean movies and TV series have flooded China. And 73 per cent of the Chinese respondents said they watched Korean TV serials and cartoons.
On the other hand, Lei added, Korean teenagers don't have much access to China. The survey found that only 6.7 per cent of Korean students have ever read Chinese books or news magazines or watch Chinese TV programmes.1
Professor Lei thinks that Chinese teens should give themselves a better basis for appreciating the cultures of their neighbors. It's not enough to simply enjoy their music, TV and fashion sense. "The survey shows that Chinese teens should make friends with their foreign peers . They shouldn't judge other countries by their media alone," said Lei.
Luo Xi'er, 17, from Hunan Province, hopes Chinese people can improve their image. "In my opinion, it is the bad behavior of Chinese tourists which has destroyed our image abroad," she said.
The girl has read several online articles in which Koreans put Chinese tourists' bad manners under the spotlight. "I would like to go to South Korea some day and show them that most Chinese are good-mannered."
1. Most Chinese teenagers think highly of South Korea because _____.
A. they are crazy about pop stars in South Korea
B. Korean people have certain qualities they respect
C. there are many similarities between China and South Korea
D. all of the above
2. Korean teens probably have low opinions of Chinese because ______.
A. they are friendly and iron-willed         B. they don't know much about China
C. they hate Chinese because of historical conflicts
D. they only watch Korean TV serials and cartoons
3. According to professor Lei, ______.
A. Chinese teens should not enjoy the pop music of South Korea
B. Chinese teens should help Korean peers learn more about China
C. we should prevent Korean movies and TV series from flooding in China
D. we should have a better understanding of Korean peers
4. We can infer from the survey _________.
A. Chinese teenagers think highly of South Koreans
B. most Korean teens gave a low score to the Chinese
C. it is necessary to strengthen cultural communications
D. bad behavior of Chinese tourists destroyed our image abroad

The US navy boarded an apparent pirate (海盜) ship in the Indian Ocean and kept 26 men for questioning, the navy said Sunday.
The 16 Indians and 10 Somali men were aboard a traditional dhow (單桅三角帆船) that was chased and seized Saturday by the US guided missile destroyer (驅逐艦) USS Winston Churchill, said Lieut I.eslie Hull-Ryde of US Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain.
The dhow stopped fleeing after the Churchill twice fired warning shots during the chase, which continued no more than 87 kilometers off the coast of Somalia, the navy said. US sailors boarded the dhow and seized a cache (暗窖) of small arms.
The dhow's crew and passengers were being questioned Sunday aboard tim Churchill to determine which were pirates and which were lawful crew members, Hull-Ryde said.
Sailors aboard the dhow told navy investigators that pirates hijacked (搶劫) the ship six days ago near Mogadishu and afterwards used it to stage pirate attacks on merchant ships.
The Churchill is part of a muhinational task force patrolling (巡邏) the western Indian Ocean and Horn of Africa region to thwart (阻止) terrorist activity and other lawlessness during the US-led war in Iraq.
The Navy said it captured the dhow in response to a report from the International Maritime (海事的) Bureau in Kuala Lumpur on Friday that said pirates had fired on the MV Delta Ranger, a Bahamian-flagged bulk carrier (貨輪) that was passing some 320 kilometres off the central eastern coast of Somalia.
Hull-Ryde said the navy was still investigating the incident and would discuss with international authorities what to do with the men kept aboard the Churchill.
72. Which of the following statements about the dhow's crew is right?
A. Among them were both lawful and lawless members.
B. Their ship was stopped by the police in the African region.
C. They are all from India.
D. They are pirates attacking merchant ships.
73. "Churchill" in the text is _______.
A. a late UK prime minister                       B. an official of the US navy
C. a military ship                                       D. the title of a military action
74. Which of the following correctly describes how the dhow was captured?
a.Warning shots were fired                    b. Merchant ships were attacked by pirates.
c. The dhow was hijacked,                        d. US sailors boarded the dhow.
A. d-a-b-c       B. c-b-a-d                       C. b-a-d-c          D. a-b-d-c
75. How did the US navy find the dhow?
A. They found the dhow by accident when patrolling the sea.
B. They found the dhow after receiving reports from some merchants.
C. They found the dhow after being informed about it.
D. They found the dhow after receiving messages from the sailors on the dhow
