Valuing Childhood

the value of childhood is easily blurred(模糊) in to say's world. consider some recent developments: the child-murders in the jonesboro, ark. schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced. two boys, 7 and 8, were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in chicago.

children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will. yet, as legal proceedings in jonesboro showed, the one boy who was to address the court couldn't begin to explain his acts, though he tried to apologize. there may have been a motive - youthful jealousy and resentment. but a deeper question remains: why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint(束缚)?

that question echoes for the accused in chicago, young as they are. they wanted the girl's bicycle, a selfish impulse(冲动) common enough among kids.

redemption(拯救) is a practical necessity. how can value be restored to young lives distorted(扭曲) by acts of violence? the boys in jonesboro and in chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time. despite horror at what was done children are not cannot be dealt with as adults, not if a people wants to consider itself civilized. that's why politicians' cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.

but the moral void(真空) that invites violence has many sources. family instability(不稳定) contributes. so does economic stress. that void, however, can be filled. the work starts with parents, who have to ask themselves whether they're doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong. are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?

schools, too, have a role in building character. so do youth organizations. so do law enforcement agencies, which can do more to inform the young about laws, their meaning. and their observance(遵守)

11、the two boys in chicago were

A shot

B murdered.

C accused.

D set free

12、the boys jonesboro and chicago apparently lacked a sense of

A right and wrong

B humor.

C gratitude.

D safety.

13、according to politicians, when children commit crimes, they should be treated in the same way as

A murderers

B criminals

C victims.

D adults.

14、which of the following does the writer cite as a source of moral void?

A official corruption

B social injustice.

C family instability.

D racial prejudice.

15、which of the following statements is not true according to the passage ?

A parents should give their children instruction in morality.

B schools should help create a moral sense in children.

C law enforcement agencies should do more to help children understand laws

D youth organizations have no role to play in building character

The empty stretch of interstate gives way to urban congestion2, and Coyne hits the brakes as a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of him. But even if he hadn’t stopped in time, the woman would have been safe. She isn’t real. Neither is the town. And Coyne isn’t really driving. Coyne is demonstrating a computerized driving simulator that is helping researchers at Old Dominion University3 (ODU) examine how in-vehicle guidance systems affect the person behind the wheel.4 The researchers want to know if such systems, which give audible or written directions, are too distracting — or whether any distractions are offset5 by the benefits drivers get from having help finding their way in unfamiliar locations.6 “We are looking at the performance and mental workload of drivers,” said Caryl Baldwin, the assistant psychology professor lending the research, which involves measuring drivers reaction time and brain activity as they respond to auditory and visual cues7. The researchers just completed a study of the mental workload8 involved in driving through different kinds of environments and heavy

2014年职称英语 阅读理解(41) +Too Little for Global Warming

第四十一篇 Too Little for Global Warming Oil and gas will run out1 too fast for doomsday global warming scenarios2 to materialize, according to a controversial new analysis presented this week at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. The authors warn that all the fuel will be burnt before there is enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to realize predictions of melting ice caps and searing temperatures. Defending their predictions, scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change3 say they considered a range of estimates of oil and gas reserves, and point out that coal-burning could easily make up4 the shortfall. But all agree that burning coal would be even worse for the planet. The IPCC’s predictions of global meltdown pushed forward5 the 1997 Kyoto Protocol6, an agreement obliging signatory nations to cut CO2 emissions. The IPCC considered a range of future scenarios, from unlimited burning of fossil-fuels to a fast transition towards greener energy sources. But geologists Anders Sivertsson, Kjell Aleklett and Colin Campbell of Uppsala University say there is not enough oil and gas left even the most conservative of the 40 IPCC scenarios to come to pass7. Although estimates of oil and gas reserves vary widely, the researchers are part of a growing group of experts who believe that oil supplies will peak as soon as 2010, and gas soon after. Their analysis suggests that oil and gas reserves combined amount to the equivalent of about 3,500 billion barrels of oil considerably less than the 5,000 billion barrels estimated in the most optimistic model envisaged by the IPCC. Even the average forecast of about 8,000 billion barrels is more than twice the Swedish estimate of the world’s remaining reserves. Nebojsa akicenovic, an energy economist at the University of Vienna, Austria who headed the 80-strong IPCC team that produced the forecasts, says the panel’s work still stands8. He says they factored in9 a much broader and internationally accepted range of oil and gas estimates than the “conservative”Swedes. Even if oil and gas run out. “there’s a huge amount of coal underground that could be exploited.” He says that burning coal could make the IPCC scenarios come true, but points out that such a switch would be disastrous. Coal is dirtier than oil and gas and produces more CO2for each unit of energy, as well as releasing large amounts of particulates. He says the latest

职称英语等级考试试题-综合

职称英语等级考试试题-综合A6 第三篇Play Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. Bt the third stage of play development-from five to seven or eight years-the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the chills most enjoys.
