4.Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life,mostly for the better.However,social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college.Surveys on this topic suggest that parents today continue to be"very"or"somewhat"overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories.The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago.This is usually interpreted as a sign that Today's parents are trying to manage their children's lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.
However,greater parental involvement does not indicate that parents are failing to let go of their"adult"children.
In the context of this discussion,it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents'involvement with their grown children.If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently,would this have been possible?Probably not.On the other hand,does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the impulse to do so wasn't present a generation ago?Many studies show that older parents--today's grandparents-would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.
Furthermore,studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children.The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home.This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life,today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology,we live in an age of bettered communication.This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college.But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.

66.The surveys inform us ofD.
A.the conditions of college dormitories
B.the sign of parent's management in their own behaviors
C.the development of communication technology

B.Parents'changed attitudes lead to college children's delayed independence.
C.Parents today are less protective than those in the past.
D.The disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages.
68.What is the meaning of the word"impulse"in this passage?C

5.A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again-teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike-and who wouldn't want bright kids to be able to move ahead,or strugglers to get the help they need?
But for most kids,labels(标签) applied early in life tend to stick,even if they are wrong.
Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial.In some countries,especially in Asia,school-wide tracking(分流) remains normal.Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers.Movement between the tracks is rare.
School-wide tracking decreased in U.S.schools in the 1960s and 1970s.It never died out,though.Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common,and other forms of tracking persist as well.
Unlike tracking,which means sorting students into separate classrooms,ability grouping happens within classrooms.When done according to the latest research,it has proven to promote achievement.
Ability grouping is changeable and temporary.Within classrooms,students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels.Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups,and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit.For instance,a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math.A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions.Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.
Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking.However,that must be weighed against the challenges involved.In many regular classrooms,the differences between student ability levels are very big.That presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.
The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools.Likely,labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not-so-secret code names like"Bluebirds""Robins""Crows"and"Buzzards".But kids still know.

58.Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again?C
A.Because most teachers do not like slower learners.
B.Because grouping children should be done early in life.
C.Because it is academically beneficial to different learners.
D.Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers'help.
59.By saying"Movement between the tracks is rare."in Paragraph 3,the writer really meansD.
A.tracking children is normal in Asia
B.school-wide tracking has decreased in US
C.professional and vocational careers are unrelated
D.sorted students can hardly change schools
60.The examples in Paragraph 6are used mainly to illustrateB.
A.a good language learner promises to be good at maths
B.a student might join different groups for different courses
C.ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow ones
D.ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students
61.What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers?A
A.Students'different levels.
B.Students'low performance.
C.Constant self-comparison.
D.Application of not-so-secret code.
17.When was the last time you wrote a letter?If your answer is"not recently",you can count  yourself among the many teenagers who don't often write letters.
A recent survey of 1,000 teenagers around the world done by the French stationery(文具)  company BIC found that a third of today's teenagers had never written a letter,half had not  written a thank-you letter,around 83 percent had never written a love letter,and a quarter ha d not even written a birthday or Christmas card.In fact,58 percent of teenagers complained that    handwriting was"too slow"and 17 percent believed it was"outdated".
These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day die out,even  though many people still think it is a key skill.
"Handwriting is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same  importance as other art forms such as sketching(素描),painting,or photography,"Jonathan  Skyrme,general manager of BIC UK &Ireland,told the Daily Mail.
The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that on line messages can never do."When you get a n e-mail,you can never be sure that you are the only person to have received it-or even that it was written by the person who sent it,"said the newspaper.
As US author Simon Garfield once wrote,"E-mails are a poke(蜻蜒点水),but letters are a loving touch."
So imagine the powerful message you would send if you actually wrote out your thoughts for another person by hand,bought a stamp,took your note to a mailbox and waited days for your special someone to receive it.Their smile at your thoughtfulness would say it a11.
25.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?C
A.300 teenagers of today's had never written a letter.
B.250 teenagers of today's had not even written a birthday or Christmas card.
C.Most teenagers hadn't written a love letter.
D.Over half teenagers thought handwriting was out of date.
26.The New York Times and the author Simon Garfi eld may both agree thatB.
A.1etters and E-mails have their own advantages
B.1etters are better than E-mails
C.1etters and E-mails send a message in the same way
D.when getting a letter or an E-mail,you're the only person to receive it
27.Which is true according to the last paragraph?B
A.It's a waste of time to write a letter.
B.People would be glad to receive a letter.
C.It is ridiculous to post a letter.
D.It's boring to wait for a letter.
