【题目】Should parents ever hit their children?

Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the yearsBut surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once

I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishmentAnd, no, I don' t feel I was damaged by it

Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children

But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer

Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive

Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decadesHe said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peersIt may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive (反作用的) to their mental development, as well

Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit

【题目】Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.

【1】Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.

A. more interesting B. more formal

C. more detailed D. unusually popular

【2】Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A. Family income planning. B. Nation hatred.

C. A new type of robot. D. Street accident.

【3】We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.

A. have become the only ones of its kind

B. attract different people

C. appear at different times of the day

D. exploit the weaknesses in human nature

【4】Which statement about the passage is Not true? ______

A. Jerry Springer show is like poisonous waste, so nothing can be learnt from it.

B. The two kinds of talk shows are opposite in content.

C. Opera Winfrey show is helpful for those middleclass Americans

D. Jerry Springer show attracts those who are young and in trouble.

【题目】Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information that governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

Today many governments have special departments that protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department that tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars that we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Conditions in the work place.

B. The freedom of industries in the past.

C. Changes in industrial production.

D. The safety and health of workers and customers.

A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions

B. companies were free to put out any products they wanted to

C. many people were killed by dangerous products

D. industries were as careful in management as they are today

【3】It is implied in the passage that ____________.

A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products

B. governments paid little attention to the safety of products.

C. government officials often did not listen to scientists

D. in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments

【4】The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by ____.

A. testing new products

B. designing new products

C. controlling the sale of products

D. inspecting work places
