A man came home from work late again, tired and annoyed, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy, may I ask you a question?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?" "That's 1of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily. "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" "If you 2know, I make $20.00 an hour." "Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I 3$10.00 please?" The father was angry. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is that you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, 4you go straight to your room and 5. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such 6games."

The little boy 7went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even 8about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had 9down, and started to think he may have been a little 10on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and 11, he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the 12of the little boy's room and opened it.

"Are you 13, son?" he asked. "No, daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took my anger out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled (大声喊) .

Then, reaching under his pillow, he 14out some more crumpled up (皱的) bills. The man,15that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man. "Why did you want 16money if you already had some? " the father complained.

"Because I didn't have 17, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I 18an hour of your time?"

　　LONDON ( Reuters)— Eco tourism ( 生态旅游) is causing A．lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival(生存) of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers.

　　Biologists and conservationists ( 自然环境保护论者) are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.

　　"Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard,” New Scientist magazine said.

　　The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates, or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term "could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see".

　　Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10—30 percent A．year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union and some governments fear not all projects are audited (审计) and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine,

　　"The transmission(传播) of disease to wildlife, or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding ,"said Philip Seddon, of the University of Ota go in Dunedin, New Zealand.

　　Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by eco tourists are producing smaller babies.

　　Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of eco tourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new eco tourism projects are started.

　　“The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them there will be no eco tourism,” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

　　Across the globe, single parent homes are on the rise. In the US, the 2000 census (人口普查) showed 24.8 million, or nearly 24 percent of the nation's 105.5 million households, were traditional two-parent homes. By comparison, 9.8 million households, or 9 percent of all US households were headed by an adult raising a child alone. The 1990 census showed 26 percent of homes were led by a married mother and father, and 8 percent of homes were led by a single parent.

　　Similar increases occurred in other countries. In the UK, lone-parent homes increased from 3.3 percent in 1990 to 5.5 percent in 1999. Single parent households in Australia rose from 5.8 percent in 1990 to 7.6 percent in 1999. Belgium saw the increase from 1.8 percent lo 2.7 percent during the same period of time. These countries tend to have greater acceptance of the single parent because there are fewer nearby family members to disapprove, Riche, a Census Bureau director, said.

　　Just as in the US, those changes raised new questions about how involved government should be. in helping single parent families. Some research suggests children raised in two-parent families are better off than those who depend on one. "The position of one-parent families in any country is very much a gender (性别 ) issue -- women's opportunities, especially working-class women on low income," said Sue Cohen, coordinator ( 协调员) of the Single Action Parents Network in England~

阅读下面的短文，从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

　　Michael, a normal American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from communicating with our fellow human beings.

　　The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access (通路) to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their job at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. Also, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts ( 帐户 ), making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines

to put in or take out money from their accounts.

　　Another area in which technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.

(1)

The underlined sentence, in the first paragraph means "______".
[　　]
A．	Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B．	Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist
C．	Michael has ambitions but he can't make his dreams come true
D．	Michael is a person full of imagination and his life style is common nowadays

(2)

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
[　　]
A．	Clerks will be able to work at home.
B．	One can play baseball on the computer.
C．	One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D．	One can borrow books from libraries at home.

(3)

What does the author discuss in the last paragraph ?
[　　]
A．	Technology is changing ways of entertainment.
B．	How to see a movie at home.
C．	People will never go to the concert in the future.
D．	How to borrow videotapes at home.

(4)

What is the main idea of the passage?
[　　]
A．	We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B．	Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C．	We may no longer need to work in the office.
D．	Modern technology makes it possible for us to work at home.
