7.Sounds crazy?Fans across the UAE(阿联酋)are so excited as Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform at a stadium in Dubai on May 4.In less than 36 hours all the tickets available were sold out.
If you have a teenager lying under your roof,it's likely that she has spent your hard-earned cash on some concert tickets.Clare Smart,a researcher on teenage development in Dubai,has some ideas about the pop phenomenon."Justin Bieber is a teenager himself and therefore teenagers feel a connection to him,in the songs that he sings,his hairstyle and how he dresses…he represents what many teenagers would like for themselves,such as the latest clothing trends,exciting travel and high earnings.Besides,it gives teenagers the feeling of being part of a group and a shared experience with other teenagers who have the same interest in a particular celebrity…"says Smart.
    It's easy to be sheltering as a parent and it's a good idea to talk to your teenagers about their idols,find out what they like about them and why."You could accompany your teenagers to a concert or listen along to the latest song in the car with them,"suggests Smart."This shows that you are interested in the things they consider to be important."
Sometimes,however,a normal level of interest slips into an obsession (痴迷) and then it becomes a cause for concern.It is now considered a personality disorder,which is closely related to higher levels of depression,anxiety and stress.In practice,teenagers who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.
    The good news,however,is that there is plenty that parents can do to prevent their teenagers from becoming overly obsessed with those so called celebrities.Let them know what their real life is like behind the story,and they can see these celebrities in a new angle.
46.What does the first paragraph intend to tell the reader?C
A.How expensive the concert tickets are.
B.Why teenagers love music concerts.
C.How popular Justin Bieber is.
D.What idols teenagers worship.
47.According to Clare Smart,Justin Bieber represents teenagers'A.
A.dreams           B.families         C.friendship           D.trouble

A.a knowledge of pop culture                   B.an easier way to become famous
C.a sense of belonging                         D.a closer relationship with parents
49.What does Clare Smart tell US in Para 3?D
A.Teenagers and parents often have a tense relationship.
B.Parents always have the same interests as the teenagers.
C.Celebrity worship exist among different age groups.
D.Parents should understand and protect the teenagers.

12.The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children.A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties,and would be likely to have seven or eight children,four or five of whom lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years,during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work..Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has to take care of children,her work is lightened by moder living conditions.
This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position.Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school..However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women usually marry older,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money,and running the home,according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
24.At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage?A
A.At about twenty-five             B.In their earl fifties
C.At the age of fifteen            D.At any age from fifteen to forty-five
25.What happened to an ordinary family in about 1900?D
A.The youngest child could live to fifteen.
B.Four of five children died after they were five.
C.Seven or eight children lived to be more than five.
D.Some children died when the were very young.
26.When she was over fifty,a late nineteenth-century motherD.
A.was usaully expected to die fiarely soon
B.would expect to work until she died
C.would be healthy enough to take up paid jobs
D.was less like to find a job even if she wanted to
27.What do we know from the passage?A
A.Husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home.
B.More and more women are looked down upon by husbands.
C.Today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs.
D.A husband plays a greater part in looking after the children.
19.Indian's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost.The charmers,who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子),used to be a traditional feature of Indian life,performing in towns and villages,until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins.
The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas,as they are known,to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife.There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest,"said Behar Dutt,a conservationist behind the plans,"if a policeman doesn't catch them,animal rights activists report them."
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban,despite the threat of up to three years in jail.But their trademark cloth-covered baskets,hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders,make them an easy target for police.
The fate of Shisha Nath,56,from Badarpur,a village just outside of Delhi,is typical of practitioners (从业者) of the dying art."I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,"he said."Now it's hard to earn even£1a day.My children want to be snake charmers.It's our identity.We love the work.But it's become impossible."
Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune,western India,where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
More than the law,though,it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers.
"We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house,they rush to us,"said Prakash Nath,who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi,the Congress party leader.

66.Snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly becauseD.
A.schools need large numbers of such teachers
B.most of them cannot support their families
C.their performances on the street are banned
D.the government plans to save the dying art
67.The purpose of the proposed"dial a snake charmer"telephone service isD.
A.to give performance of snake dancing
B.to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
C.to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
D.to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses
68.The word"clandestinely"in paragraph 4can be best replaced by the word"A".
A.secretly   B.publicly   C.subconsciously   D.diligently
69.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?B
A.Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.
B.Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers'job.
C.Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.
D.The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.
