Moreover, childre n no wadays are better dressed and have more money to spe nd on en terta inment. The pare nts usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more America n mothers work away from home. The break up of the family occurs when the parents divorce, A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one pare nt. Broke n families usually result in problems for childre n and pare nts alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth betwee n pare nts. Usually one pare nt is resp on sible for raisi ng the childre n. These sin gle pare nts must care for the childre n's emoti onal and psychological n eeds while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the pare nt's own pers onal in terests. Sin gle pare nts ofte n marry other sin gle pare nts. In this type of family, un related childre n are forced to develop brother or sister relati on ship. The situati ons of many America n families today are not good.

Questions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:

Whe n I was study ing at Yale, some phe nomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chin ese stude nts or Asia n stude nts were very polite in class while America n stude nts ofte n in terrupted the

professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as America n stude nts.

I was impressed by the role of the professor in the sem ina 讨论会）.The professor did n't act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the stude nts. One lin guistic 语言的）feature of his in teract ing with his stude nts was that he used many modal 情态的）verbs--far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, "This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong." or "You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting." In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisi ons and correct directi ons. Therefore, stude nts always expect the professor to give an an swer to the questio n, i still remember how frustrated they were whe n foreig n teachers did not provide such an an swer. Their expectati ons from authorities are much higher tha n that of America n stude nts. Once the Chin ese stude nts got the an swer, they were sure about it.

Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their En glish compositi on. The exam in ati ons in America usually do not test a stude nt's ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obta in employme nt but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.

55. In the USA, when the students are in class, __

A. a Chin ese stude nt tends to be very active

B. an America n stude nt likes to make trouble

C. a Chin ese stude nt likes to puzzle the teacher

D. an America n stude nt tends to be vigorous

56. A teacher in the USA prefers to __ when he answers questions.

A. be very sin cere

B. be very direct

C. be very self-c on fide nt

D. be very in differe nt

57. What is the opin io n of the author concerning the differe nee of teachi ng methods betwee n

China and the USA

A. He thinks that Chin ese teachi ng methods can make stude nts learn more.

B. He holds that the major purpose of Chin ese teachi ng methods is to improve stude nts'

remembra nee.

C. He thinks that America n teachi ng is ability orie nted.

D. He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.

58. The author thinks that the relati on ship betwee n the stude nt and the teacher is __

A. more in timate in Chi na

B. closer in Chi na
