5.From a very early age,some children exhibit better
self-control than others.Now,a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed.Parents,teachers,even the kids themselves,scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals."
The study led  by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin,New Zealand.
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had the most health problems in their 30s,"Moffitt said,"and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income."Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed,and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others,though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior,with relatively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in familles because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news,Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.
61.From the first two paragraphs we learn that.B
 A.the research has been carried out for five years
 B.self-control in kids tends to determine their future
 C.self-control was assessed by children's intelligence
 D.children's self-control is almost the same at early age

 C.have better financial planning  
D.adopt negative behaviors
63.According to Moffitt,.D
 A.only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future
 B.scientists know well why some children have better self-control
 C.self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity
 D.willpower as a child really influences people's chances of adulthood

 A.Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
 B.The study is restricted within few participants.

Today there are about seven million Americans in the colleges and universities.Young persons under twenty-five make up nearly half of the American population.Many of these young people will be in power in the USA.Naturally their ideas are important to everyone in the country,and it is necessary for older people to understand what they think and feel.
College students today have strong opinions about right and wrong.They are deeply interested in making a better life for all people,especially for those who have not been given a fair chance before now.They see much that is wrong in the lives of their parents.It is hard for them to see what is right and good in the older ways.As a result,there is often trouble in American families.

10.As the old saying goes,beauty is in the eye of the beholder.But Venezuela,whose beauty queens have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times,doesn't leave it to chance.In Venezuela,girls as young as four can be found attending beauty schools,where they can learn a range of skills from how to walk to the correct way to hold a wine glass.
"Hair must always be completely clean,make-up should look natural,and you should always,always wear high-heels,"advises Andrea Reyes,a teacher in a school of Caracas with 160 students.
Beauty contests are treated in Venezuela much as sporting competitions are elsewhere.Many Venezuelan parents believe that if their daughters can succeed and get the beauty crown,their future as famous and public persons is sure to come.As a result,the girls are trained to compete at a young age.
Among former beauty queens are Irene Saez,who went on to compete for the country's president,and Eva Ekvall,whose battle with cancer helped to make more people know about the illness in Venezuela.
However,voices against the trend can be heard all over the country.At one time,a feminist (男女平等主义者) group tried to stop the Miss Venezuela broadcast.President Hugo Chavez has spoken out against the culture of plastic surgery(整形手术)in Venezuela,calling it a"frightening thing".
The BBC reporter Sarah Grainger says that acceptance of the contests is partly a result of the country's"machista"(大男子主义的) view of the different roles that men and women should play,"Men are supposed to be strong and brave and women to be gentle and beautiful".
Miss Universe 1996,Alicia Machado,knows the price to be paid when you're no longer seen as attractive.After winning the beauty contest,she said all she wanted to do was"eat,eat and eat".Her weight gain later and warning by the organizers of the contest to replace her as queen with the runner-up was among the hottest topics in the country,especially in Latin America.
63.What's the advice given by a teacher in Caracas to her students?C
A.Attending beauty schools as early as possible.
B.Wearing high-heels at times.
C.Washing your hair quite often.
D.Fighting against cancer bravely.
64.Girls try to win in the beauty contest toC.
A.try plastic surgery               
B.practice the country's"machista"view
C.earn a good future                
D.eat as much as one pleases
65.We can learn from the passage thatB.
A.Venezuela girls have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times by chance
B.In Venezuela,people judge men and women in quite different ways
C.Eva Ekvall once competed for the country's president
D.Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has spoken out against beauty contests
66.What does the underlined word"runner-up"in the last paragraph mean?D
A.the news reporter covering the beauty contest
B.the organizer of the beauty contest

D.the person who comes in the second place.
17.This week,We talk about the application process for American colleges and universities.This is Part Eight in our Foreign Student Series.Earlier,we explained  how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world.We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States.(71)F
But if your goal is to come to the United States to study,then it is time to make a list of  colleges of universities that interest you. (72)EDirectors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools.
Some students want to attend a small college.Others want to go to a big university.That university in Columbus.Ohio,in the Midwest,has almost fifty-two thousand students.There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries.Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Web site.(73)BOr you can print the forms and mail them with the payment.
Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online.You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies.(74)ABut answering all the questions is not enough.Another important step is taking admissions tests.The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take.(75)CColleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL-the Test of English as a Foreign Language.

A.Completing a college application can take some time.
B.You can pay the application charge online with a credit card.
C.Another one is the ACT.
D.If a really big university appeals to you,then there aye ones like Ohio State.
E.Be sure to choose more than one.
F.And we talked about programs that can be completed online.
G.If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series,write to special@voanews.com.
15.A job is more than a job,especially to the old."It's not the money that matters,but the sense of self-worth,"56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said.So,every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels,letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point.She's a courier(快递员).
Five years ago,Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic.She had worked there for 30years but became jobless when the doctor moved away.It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse."People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,"she said.After two years of searching,she eventually found another nursing job.But then after two years,she quit.Why?
"My colleagues were young and they didn't understand me because of my age.They often asked me,‘You are so old.What are you working for?'I was very unhappy,"she said.When the rest of her family left for work,she was lonely and bored at home.Then her neighbours told her about Employees'Retraining Board offering retraining courses for older people.These courses are specifically designed to encourage the older people back to work.
"I was interested in courier work.I didn't think my age was a barrier(障碍) because I was fit,"she said.Upon graduating,Ms Cheng was offered a job by a company.But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict:she was caught between honour and employment."I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels,"she said.It took Ms Cheng 24hours to make up her mind:there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job.So she went off to work as a courier.
Ms Cheng's employer,Anthony Chong,is delighted with her responsible attitude and said,"I hire older people because they are able and reliable.Age is not an important factor but attitude is.Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will."
21.Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing job?C
A.Nursing clinics were hard to find.
B.She found it difficult to trust others.
C.People thought she was too old to work.
D.People didn't think she had enough work experience.
22.Ms Cheng left her second nursing job becauseD.
A.it was too difficult for her
B.she was bored with the job
C.her family didn't want her to do the job
D.the other staff made her feel uncomfortable
23.Employees'Retraining Board is an organizationB.
