Parents owe their children a set of solid values around 51 to build their lives.This means teaching them to 52 the rights and opinions of others;it means being respectful to elders,to teachers,and to the law.The best way to teach such values is by 53 .A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have 54 laughing and loving.

No child asks to be 55 .If you bring a life into the world,you owe the child something.

The best way,according to the zoo’s experts,to save Yong Liang from anemia would have been to transfuse blood from another panda.But it was the breeding season for giant pandas,making such a transfusion very difficult.

But the experts found that there exits a close consanguinity（血缘）between giant pandas and black bears,and so they decided to try to take blood from black bears in the zoo and transfuse it to Yong Liang.

With the help of hospitals and the Beijing Blood Donor Station,they made an experiment which proved that the red blood cells in the blood of black bears can be used.

On the afternoon of February 15th,the first red blood cell transfusion was given to the giant panda,from 600 ml of black bear blood.Immediately the youn panda started to recover.

As the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack,a common phrase was repeated:“It looks like a movie.”

But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building.The attack destroyed one of the world’s highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.

Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters,terrorism and danger,The Empire State Building,the White House,New York Gity and even the American president himself have all been threatened（威胁）by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.

The film“True Lies”,released in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie.The special effects,including explosions and missiles,make the action look like a real thing.

“Independence Day”in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House.This science fiction（科幻）movie is about a war between human beings and aliens from another planet.It the movie,the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.

Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies.And this is what people enjoy.Soon after the attacks,many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies,especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes.“Swordfish”was to p of the American box office in June.But the movie’s story was frighteningly similar to the Sept.11 disaster.The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.

But it’s unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long.It i s already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.

59．What is the main subject of the newspaper article?

A．The relationship between the Sept.11 attack and Hollywood films.

B．The effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood films

Without most people realizing it,there has been revolution in office work over the last ten years.Before that time,large computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment.With the advancement of technology,small computers have come onto the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers,so now most smaller companies can use them.

The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors,or WPS as they are often called.40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.

There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager.The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work,such as re-typing letters and storing papers.He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss.From a manager’s point of view,secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be sav ed by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.

But is it all good ?If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically,surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed .Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units（显示器）.The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly.It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours,the unborn child in her body might be killed.Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.

Whatever the arguments for and against word processors,they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.

62．Ten years ago,large computers were only used by large companies because .

A．small companies did not have enough money to buy such expensive computers

B．large computers could not do the work that small companies can do today

C．large computers did not come onto the market

D．small companies did not need to use this new technology

63．According to the writer,the main progress made in office work over the last ten years is .

A．the saving of time and money B．the use of computers in big companies.

C．the wide use of word processors D．the decreasing number of secretaries

64．We can infer from the passage that with the use of word processors .

A．some secretaries will lose their jobs

B．daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours

C．medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased

D．the British companies will make less noney

65．Which of the following statements is Not true?

A．There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.

B．The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.

C．The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years.

D．Using word processors,secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.

66．From the passage we can draw the conclusion that .

Jack used to curse（咒骂）the front yard as if it were a living thing,He was the man who lived with my grandmother for thirty years.He was not my grandfather,but an Italian who came down the road one day,selling fruit in Florida.

Jack stopped at my grandmother’s house to sell her some oranges just a stone’s throw from downtown Miami,and he was deliverin g her whiskey a week later.He stayed for thirty years.Jack hated the front yard because he thought it was against him.There had been a beautiful lawn（草坪）there when Jack came along,but he let it wander off into nothing .He refused to water it or take care of it in any way.

Now the ground was so hard that it gave his car flat tires （轮胎）in the summer.The yard was always finding a nail to put in one of his tires or the car was always sinking out of sight in the winter when the rains came on.

The lawn had belonged to my grandfather,who lived out the end of his life in an insane hospital.It had been his pride and joy and was said to be the place where his powers came.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly?Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?Are you afraid to ask a boy（girl）for a date？

Many people are afraid to assert themselves（insist upon their own rights）.Dr Robert Alberti,author of“Stand Up,Speak Out,and Talk Back”,thinks it’s because their self-esteem（自尊）is low. “Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves,”says Alberity.“There’s always a ‘superior’around—a parent,a teacher,a boss—who‘knows better’.These‘superiors’gain when they destroy your self-esteem.”

But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves.They offer “assertiveness training”courses （AT）.In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves.They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.They learn to be aggressive（敢闯，闯劲儿）without hurting other people.

In one way,learning to speak out is to overcome fear.A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear.But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share.The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels .AT says you can get to feel good about yourself.And once you do,you can learn to speak out.—

73．In the passage,the writer talks about the problem that .

A．some people are too easy-going

B．some people are too timid

C．there are too many superiors around us

D．some people dare not stick up for their own rights

74．The effect of our set-up on people is often to .

A．make them distrust their own judgment

B．make things more favorable for them

C．keep them from speaking out as much as their superiors do

D．help them to learn to speak up for their rights

75．One thing AT doesn’t do is to.

A．use the need of people to share

B．show people they have the right to be themselves

C．help people to be aggressive at anytime even when others suffer

D．help people overcome fear
