7．In the college-admission（大学入学考试）wars，we parents are the true fighters．We are pushing our kids to get good grades，take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes（简历）so they can get into the college of our first choice．In our eyes，a degree from Stanford or Princeton is the ticket for life．We see our kids'college background as something showing how well or how poorly we've raised them．But we don't realize we are selfish．We think more about ourselves than the kids．
It's true getting into college has generally become tougher because the number of high school graduates has grown．We suffer great anxiety； we worry there won't be enough honors to show off．Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever．We hold the belief that graduates of best universities must enjoy more success because they get a better education．All that is seemingly acceptable-and mostly wrong．
"We haven't found any convincing evidence that a prestigious（有名望的）college matters，"says Ernest T．Pascarella of the University of Iowa，co-author of"How College Affects Students"，an 827-page report of hundreds of studies of the college experience．
According to some studies，graduates of prestigious schools do earn much money．But even this seems like just a coincidence．
Kids count more than their colleges．Getting into Yale may mean intelligence，talent and ambition．But there are many other things that are equally important．The reason：so many similar people go elsewhere．Getting into college isn't life's only competition．In the next competition，the results may change．Princeton economists Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph．D．program．High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in；degrees of prestigious universities didn't．
So，parents，lighten up．America is a competitive society； our kids need to adjust to that but too much pushiness can be destructive．The very ambition we place on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment．They may have been so accustomed to being on top that anything less disappoints them．
32．Why are parents the true fighters in the college-admission wars？B

C．mean low GRE scores
D．guarantee no success

20．Soup on my nose，a nearly spilled glass of wine and chocolate down my white blouse，as blind dates suggest，this was a really messy one．I have never made so much noise with plates and glasses，nor had I dined with a never-before-met companion．This blind date was quite different：we could see nothing．"Put your left hand on my shoulder，and then we'll take small steps forward，"said Michael，the visually impaired（视力障碍的） server，in an East London accent．We three felt our way carefully bumping past heavy curtains before being arranged at the dining table，where we would eat and drink three completely secret and unseen courses．
Welcome to Alchemy in the Dark，Hong Kong's first full-time restaurant in total darkness．Upon arrival，diners briefly tell the chef on their allergies（过敏性反应），lock away their mobile phones and enter the windowless restaurant，which can seat 25．When the meal is over，the contents of the delicious menu are shown---often to the diners'surprise．"This is definitely duck，"my friend said，while eating chicken．"This soup，"I declared，"is carrot and coriander．"Even the too-close smell did not reveal the real tomato and cumin flavors．Dining in the dark changes everything：the sense of smell is heightened，manners go out of the window---using your hands to feel around the plate becomes normal---and there is a strange thrill in being able to ignore your facial expressions．Best of all？You don't have to spend hours beforehand（事先） wondering what to wear．
Alchemy in the Dark is at 16Arbuthnot Road，Central，（tel.6821 2801）and is open Monday to Saturday，from 7pm to 11pm．Reservations are required．A three-course meal with wine pairing costs HK$700per person．Five per cent of all profits go to the Hong Kong Society for the Blind．

3．One in three American children now live with only one parent．（33）Even though/Even ifthe traditional family of Japan is strong，divorce still went up quickly between 1980 and 1995．（34）Whatis more important is that the nature of the family is changing．In Sweden and Denmark，around half of all babies are now born to unmarried parents，and in the United Kingdom and France more than a third．
Families are getting smaller．The average Turkish family had seven members in 1970； today it has only five．And in Spain and Italy，（35）wherefamilies were always traditionally large，the birthrate was the lowest in the developed world in 1995．This fall in the birthrate is due to the fact that，as more women have careers，they are waiting longer and longer （36）to start（start） a family．The age （37）at whichthe average woman has her first baby is now 28 in Western Europe，and it is getting later．
So the nuclear family is clearly changing，but is it in danger of （38）disappearing（disappear） completely？
The truth is （39）thatit is still too early to tell．In some countries these patterns are actually reversing．In the United States，Scandinavia and the United Kingdom，the birthrate is rising once more； and in Denmark，for example，marriage is becoming more popular again．In the United States，the divorce rate in fact fell （40）by10 per cent between 1980 and 1990，and it is continuing to fall．

The next day a carriage arrived．A well-dressed man stepped out，（21）saying （say） he was the father of the boy．"You saved my son's life．"said the man．"（22）How can I repay you？"
"I don't want payment．"Fleming replied，"Anyone would have done the same．"
Just then，Fleming's son appeared at the door．
"Is he your son？"the man asked．"Yes．"said Fleming（23）happily （happy）．
"I have an idea．Let me pay for his education．If he's like his father，he'll grow to be a man we'll both be proud of．"
And so he did．Thus（24）the farmer's son attended the best schools，graduated from a medical college，and became the world-famous Nobel prize-winning scientist and discoverer of penicillin，Sir Alexander Fleming．
It's said（25）that many years later the man saved from the bog caught pneumonia（肺炎）．
