11.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 years.But surverys 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 punishment.And,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 decades.He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers(同等的人).It may be that children with lower IQqs were more likely to get spanked,but the punishment may have been counterpoductive(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.
Last year,Marjorie Gunnoe,a psychologist at Calvin College,studied teens who have never spanked.There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physi punished.Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spank.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers(脾气).But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical puishment.

A.40 percent of children grow up without ever being spanked
B.Children who suffer less physical punishment are better students

8.Finding the right school for your child is a process.You will want to read about the school,talk to any friends who are involved in the school and,most important of all,visit the school.
The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet.We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure(小册子),the fee structure and an application.The packet should answer most of your general questions about the school.
In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School,you should come for an Admission Tour,which includes a personal meeting focusing on your child,a tour of the building and the classrooms,and a discussion of the curriculum(课程).
This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three-year-old one.Every school has a different"school climate."If you visit two or three schools,you will notice that each"feels"different.You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not.
The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds.
Children must be three years old by August 31st.
We also have major points of entry from grade six to grade nine.At each of these levels,we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades.
There are scattered(零散的) openings available throughout the program due to attrition(学生流失).Once an opening occurs,students spend a day at ICS,part of which includes admission testing.

16.A college education is out.of reach for most state and federal prisoners.California'a San Quentin is one of the few prisons in the country that offers college-level courses.
Jody Lewen has run the prison's college program for over a decade and she's the reason that die Prison University Project exists today.When Lewen joined San Quentin's college program in 1999 as a volunteer instructor,it was run by a small volunteer staff with no budget.At that time,she was a graduate student,with plans to return to academic research.But a year later,when the part-time director suddenly quit,Lewen found herself in charge.
Under Lewen's leadership,the Prison University Project has expanded,now offering 20 classes in English,math,social science and Spanish.Three hundred prisoners enroll (入学) every year,earning college credits which can lead to an associate of arts degree.So far,100 San Quentin prisoners have graduated with associate's degrees and many more have continued their college studies after release.
"This experience really has changed my life.It's given me a lot of tools on how to express myself,"says Charles Spence,who is serving a life sentence in San Quentin."This program is really rare in the prison setting,so I'm really lucky."
Research shows that the more education a prisoner has,the less likely he is to return to prison.Lewen says the chance for those with college degrees back into prison is less than 10 percent.
But the Prison University Project receives no government funding.Lewen would like to see college programs in every prison,but without government support,it's not likely to happen any time soon.In the meantime,there's a long waiting list of San Quentin prisoners who want to enroll in the college program.Some day,Lewen hopes to expand her program,making a college education available for most of prisoners at San Quentin.
66.Which of the following is true of the Prison University Project?C
A.Jody Lewen founded it in 1999.
B.It was supported by the government.
C.Jody took charge of it quite accidentally.
D.It is performed in most prisons in the U.S.

68.According to the text,Charles Spence might beB
A.a graduate student                                      
B.a San Quentin prisoner
C.a volunteer teacher                                     
D.a prison manager
69.The project is quite meaningful becauseD
A.prisoners have equal rights of education
B.it doesn't need support from the government

3.For long,a little boy was wondering why his deskmate could rank 1st in the class whenever he wanted to,while he himself failed to:he only ranked 21st.
At home,he asked his Mom,"Mom,am I more (36)C than others?I feel I am as obedient and as careful as him,but (37)B I always fall behind?"Hearing the words,Mom was aware that her son began to (38)B the sense of self-respect,which was now being injured by the ranking system. (39)C at him,she went wordless,not knowing (40)D to explain.
In another test,the son ranked 17th,while his deskmate remained 1st.Back home,he (41)A the same question.Mom really wanted to inform her son that (42)A differs,which means that students ranking 1st are supposed to be cleverer than normal ones. (43)D,was this discouraging answer the one that her son was constantly (44)B about?Thank goodness she did not open her mouth.
How to answer her son's question?There were times when she felt an urge to say,"You are too lazy.You are not as hard-working as others…"but she stopped (45)D imagining her son suffering from the pains of unsatisfied grades and rankings.She thought it (46)A to put any additional burden on his son and was trying to find out a perfect answer.
Time passing swiftly,the son (47)C primary school.Despite studying harder and better,he was still unable to keep up with his deskmate.To show her pride of him,Mom decided to (48)B him to the sea.During the trip,she managed to give out an answer.
Now,the son no longer worries about his (49)D,and there are no boring guys who would inquire his grades in primary school,because,(50)C the 1st ranking,he is admitted to Tsinghua University.Back home in winter vacation,he was invited to (51)C the students and parents in his high school.In the speech,he mentioned a valuable experience in his childhood,"…When my mother and I were lying on the(52)D,she pointed to the front and said,‘Do you see the seabirds struggling for food over there?When the waves come near,little birds can rise (53)A while awkward seagulls would take more time to complete the process.However,have you noticed birds that finally fly (54)C the endless ocean are none other than awkward seagulls?'"The speech (55)B many mothers present to tears,including his mother.

Nowadays.millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs.Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA,1999)shows that around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.
62.C
NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world.They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease.They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives.Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active,contributing citizens.NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drugs use them in a responsible manner.
63.A
Nevertheless,overuse of drugs such as opioids,central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern.Although this abuse affects many people worldwide,particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults,teenagers and women.
64.F
Though it may be a surprise to many,the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly.Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University,North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population,those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs.People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use.In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs,70% were women who had overused medicines.
65.D
Unfortunately,this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 65.In general,among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative,women are twice as likely to become addicted.In addition,statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers,tranquillizers,stimulants and sedatives.

A.Drug overuse and its consequence
B.The problem of drug overuse in America
C.Benefits of medicine and its wise use
D Female drug overuse with reference to that of males
E Misuse of medicine among the young generation
F.Improper use of medicine among senior citizens.
