The glass doors have taken the place of the wooden ones at the entrance, ________ in the natural light during the day.

A. to let B. letting C. let D. having let

My son and a bunch of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald’s on report card day last year. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A’s, and Laurie got a cell phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and she’s only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $ 10 for each A.”

I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell phone, and the portable DVD player?

I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle disappear before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!

I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.

“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that’s about it.”

Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.

46．Why did the writer suddenly become concerned?

A．Because many kids were getting very good grade at school.

B．Because he was worried about the current reword system.

C．Because he wasn’t making enough money to buy things for his kids’ good grades. D．Because kids were having too many parties after school.

47．The underlined sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” (in

Paragraph 3) probably means that _________.

A．taking care of the children would influence my work

B．I would spend more money on my children’s homework

C．reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lot

D．more rewards would be needed as the children grew up

48．The example of the author’s neighbor shows that _________.

A．pizza is the best way to encourage children

B．the author’s neighbor was very poor

C．reward is not the only way to encourage children

D．the son of the author’s neighbor’s didn’t like reward

49．It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A．children would think that you should if you pay them for good grades

B．children would work harder if you buy them pizza for good grades

C．children would not ask for rewards when they enter high school

D．children would not ask for rewards when they enter university

50．What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades?

A．Helpful. B．Uncertain. C．Unpleasant. D．Unknowable.

I was very cold____they still went swimming.

_______65 Dear Molly,

I have a problem. My parents are always talking to me about studying. They want me to study harder so I can go to a good school. I know studying is very important, but my parents put too much pressure on me. How can I explain to my parents that I need some free time?

_______ 66 Dear Molly,

My best friend Tony is a nice young man, but he has a bad habit. He is always late. No matter where he is going to, what he is doing, he is never on time. Once he turned up thirty minutes late for a meeting! What can I do to break him of this bad habit?

_______ 67 Dear Molly,

I have a new roommate named Louis. He is a good friend of mine, but he is driving me crazy because he is very untidy. He leaves his dirty clothes everywhere, and he never makes his bed. I am extremely neat. What can I do?

_______68 Dear Molly,

My cousin plays computer games a lot and he keeps on talking to me about various games. I don’t have any interest at all, but I find it difficult to stop him without hurting his feelings. Would you kindly give me some advice?

A Dear xx,

As I see it, you have three choices. You can find a new flat for yourself, make him find a new one, or have a talk with him and see if you could both be a little less extreme in your attitudes towards housekeeping. I would suggest you start with the third.

B Dear xx,

You could try talking to him about the importance of being on time. If it doesn’t work, one trick you can try is to ask him to set his clock 15 minutes ahead. You could also tell him that something starts 15 minutes or more before it really starts.

C Dear xx,

This is a common problem for people of your age. Tell your parents how you feel. Let them know you respect them. Maybe you can make a deal with them. For example, ask them for one day off each week to do what you want to do.

D Dear xx,

Next time when he begins talking, you might interrupt him with a smile, saying “That’s interesting, but I hope you understand this is my time to relax. I need to do some reading now.” He may sense your unwillingness and stop talking.

E Dear xx,

“Be yourself ” is the best solution. If I were you, I’d tell him to leave me alone. At least tell him, “That was hurtful. Please don’t say things like that to me. I’m a football fan and like watching football games. I can make my own decision.”

Instead, it seems that creative thinking is a (n) _________ of habits.

A. affair B. business C. matter D. problem
