While the factors driving the modern family are many and complex－from the explosion of technology to the influx(涌入) of mothers into the workforce－parental fear may be at the heart of today's rushed(匆忙的) approach to child－rearing(养育孩子), some experts say.

Parents fear everything from media exposure to violence to peer pressure, says Alan Mirabelli, executive director of Ottawa think tank. Perhaps most of all, there's the fear that their kids won't be equipped to compete in the future.

Some might argue that today's parents are micromanagers because, unlike those who raised families during the Depression and World War Ⅱ， they don't have enough real worries. But Mirabelli says it comes down to a different context and a different set of challenges.

He notes that while parents 25 or 30 years ago had the modest goals of providing their offspring with more than they had, the current driving force is the desperation to equip kids for a dog－eat－dog world.

They demand tougher schools, a heftier(容量更大的) curriculum and standardized testing to measure performance. Outside the school system, they fill in the gaps with tutoring, music lessons, art classes, gymnastics and hockey. For those who can't afford it,_there's the additional stress and fear that their kids don't stand a chance.

David Elkind, a renowned child psychologist and author of The Hurried Child, says hyper－parenting is a reaction to a world changing so fast and we have no idea how to prepare kids for it. Parents can't envision the society their kids will inhabit as adults, so they try to cover all the possibilities, cramming in as much as possible and operating on the principle that earlier is better. “This works against the notion of let children be children，”said David Elkind.

6. The biggest fear of parents is that their children________.

A. will change for the worse because of media influence

B. will get involved in violence

D. will compare themselves with peers

7. David Elkind holds the view that________.

A. parents should equip their kids for a changing world

A. children today can't enjoy a real childhood

B. children today are better equipped for the future

C. parents today actually have no real worries

D. parents today face more challenges actually

Beijing—（13, July） China sent up a new data relay satellite（数据中继卫星）, Tianlian I-02, on Monday at the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in South-western Sichuan province．The new satellite will promote the country's satellite communication network for space docking（对接）．

The satellite was launched on a Long-March-3C carrier rocket at 11:41 p．m．, sources at the centre told Xinhua News Agency．The satellite separated from the rocket 26 minutes after its launch and was then successfully delivered into a geostationary transfer orbit （地球同步转移轨道）．

Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite is the country's second data relay satellite．The first, Tianlian I-01, was launched on April 25．2008．

The two satellites will form a network to improve communications between China's spacecraft and bases on Earth, according to the centre．They will also be used to help the nation's first space docking, scheduled for the second half of this year．

As planned, China will launch space module Tiangong-I, which was designed as a platform that will dock with an unmanned spaceship, Shenzhou, for the county's first space-docking mission this year．

Two more Shenzhou spaceships will dock with Tiangong-I next year, and one will be manned by two or three astronauts, according to China Manned Space Engineering Office, which was the main user of the Tianlian I series data relay satellites．

“The new satellite can cover a greater area to track and command the country’s space vehicles in low-Earth orbits, such as manned spacecraft and remote sensing satellites, from a higher position in outer space．Only three satellites of this kind are needed to form a global communication network, and China has two now．” Pang Zhihao, a researcher and deputy editor-in-chief of Space International, said．

The satellite could also equip astronauts with real-time communications, which will benefit the country's future manned space flights, he said．

1.What is the main purpose to send up Tianlian I-02 ?

A．To test the function of a Long-March-SC carrier rocket．

B．To carry some astronauts into space to do some research．

A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.

Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.

"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.

"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).

The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "

The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.

Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "

The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit www.younginspirations.com.

Up to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia ---short-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the "extraordinary rise" in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.

Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的) beyond 2m. It is often caused by an elongation（拉伸） of the eyeball that happens when people are young. According to the research, the problem is being caused by a combination of factors - a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.

Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework. This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.

Cultural factors also seem to play a part. Across many parts of South East Asia, children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sightedness.

A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from “high” myopia. One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障碍) and even blindness. These people are at considerable risk—sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses—they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.

For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. But this study strongly suggests an alternative view. “Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn’t fit with that speed of change; gene pools just don’t change in two generations. Whether it’s a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome, it really doesn’t matter, the thing that’s changed is not the gene pool---it’s the environment.”

1.As is mentioned above, which factor mainly results in students’ myopia in South East Asia?

A．Genetic faults of the people. B．Elongation of the eyeball.

C．The shortage of outdoor light. D．Lack of research into the problem.

2.Which of the following statements do you think agrees with Professor Morgan?

A．A lunchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.

B．Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.

C．It’s necessary to treat myopia with an operation.

D．It’s of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.

3.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing problem.

B．The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.

C．Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.

D．An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.

4.What’s the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?

A．Equip the classroom with better lights.

B．Look at the sun from time to time.

C．Do eyes exercise regularly.

D．Spend more time in the open air.
