10．As children grow，so does their desire to become independent．（36）DAs parents，our job is to find the right balance between kids'desire for independence and the need to keep kids safe．

17．A recent study，which was published in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association，offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver．Indeed，a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident，compared with a teenager driving alone．
The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10p．m．，and especially after midnight．With passengers in the car，the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident．
Robert Foss，a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center，says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with"really stupid behavior"than with just a lack of driving experience．"The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled driving is．"he says．
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate （使缓解） the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems，in which getting a license is a process with several stages．A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence（在场）of an adult，followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions （限制） before graduating to full driving rights．
Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes，according to recent studies．
33．Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage？B
A．Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10p．m．
B．A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car．
C．Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night．
D．A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight．
34．According to Robert Foss，the high death rate of teenage drvers is mainly due toA．
A．their lack of driving experience
B．their frequent driving at night
C．their wrong way of driving
D．their driving with passengers
35．A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers'driving accidents is thatA．
A．the licensing system should be improved
B．they should be forbidden to take on passengers
C．they should not be allowed to drive after 10pm
D．driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule．

7．El Nino，a Spanish term for"the Christ child"，was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens every two to seven years，reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas．El Nino sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round．
The weather effects，both good and bad，are felt in many places．Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino，on balance，than they lose．A study found that a strong Nino in 1997 helped American's economy grow by 15 billion，partly because of better agricultural harvests：farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain．The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones．
But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames．A multi-year drought （干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse．Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California，they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters．
The most recent powerful Nino，in 1997-98，killed around 21，000 people and caused damage worth 36．But such Ninos come with months of warning，and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare．According to the Overseas Development Institute （ODI），however，just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance，rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards．This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction．
Simple improvements to infrastructure （基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease．Better sewers （下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach．Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods．According to a paper in 2011by Mr Hsiang and co-authors，civil conflict is related to El Nino's harmful effects-and the poorer the country，the stronger the link．Though the relationship may not be causal，helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people．Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino，reducing ther losses needs to bethe priority．
61．What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1？A
A．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean．
B．It takes place almost every year all over the world．
C．It is named after a South American fisherman．
D．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas．
62．What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected？D
A．Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically．
BAgricultural harvests in rich coutries fall．
C．Droughts become more harmful than floods．
D．Rich countries'gains are greater than their losses．
63．The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4suggest thatB
A．governments of poor countries need more aid
B．more investment should go to risk reduction
C．victims of El Nino deserve more compensation
D．recovery and reconstruction should come first
